    Quality food, quality service. Quiet environment. What more can someone ask for? Local and family owned. Checked all of my boxes.

    We stopped by Joe's Diner while in San Pedro visiting family--and what a gem! The owners and staff were incredibly respectful and welcoming. They totally understood my love for extra crispy everything, and nailed it. My son devoured his pancake and orange juice, and my husband was all about the fajita omelet special. The ambiance is small but mighty--cozy, classic diner vibes with real heart. Highly recommend!

    During my time in San Pedro, while running errands, we collectively decided to find a new place to eat. We were delighted to discover Joe's Diner. It's situated in a bustling, small plaza. Conveniently, we found parking directly in front. That was a bonus. Upon entering, we immediately appreciated the cozy and intimate atmosphere of Joe's Diner. This establishment has been operating under the name Joe's Diner for the past three years. The extensive menu is impressive; the variety of dishes Joe prepares in the kitchen is amazing. There are daily specials and a selection of standard breakfast items. I'm rating service at a 5 when Joe himself came out to greet us upon entering. Throughout our dining expierence Jo we came and checked on us often. There are 5 tables in this cozy diner. Make sure your one of them. We ordered cheeseburgers and fries with a side of fruit. Joe's has homemade chili beans outta this world when topped on fries.

    Side Salad with Extra Thousand Island Dressing

    If I could give this particular order a "5.5" Star Rating- I would be happy to. I reordered the Steak meal on 05/10/24 via Ubereats. Made a few changes from my last order pertaining to the included salad (Forgot to take a picture of salad- put in my fridge to eat after the steak and mashed potatoes- once I finished main entree- ate the salad- but forgot to take picture of salad (with no carrots/no olives/no onions and adding one egg)- so the picture of the salad you see is from my previous order). Steak meal preparation was the same- Extra Well Done Steak No Vegetables- Double Mashed Potatoes with Butter Salad- No Carrots/No Olives/No Onions- Add 1 Egg Extra Thousand Island Dressing Garlic Bread *If you think the pictured steak is both burnt and/or fatty for your tastes- this how I asked it to be prepared. As in my previous 2 orders- this being my 3rd- the meal was extremely tasty, good portion and great dining experience- Joe again didn't forget one thing on my Ubereats special instructions. This definitely is my go-to lunch/dinner meal. Now I have to try a breakfast meal

    Avocado salad, lots of veggies. Made vegan. Simple, healthy and delicious!

    Went here for the first time to meet friends, I'm vegan and they made a huge salad for me, they were very accommodating.

    Just a little hole in the wall but that's what makes it great. Joe is the owner and the chef. He personally takes your order and makes sure you get just what you're looking for. I've eaten here a handful of times and every time the food has been excellent and the customer service wonderful. The pancakes are light and fluffy and delicious. The Joe's omelette is chorizo with cheese and avocado and is light and fluffy and one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. My boyfriend got the pork chops and cleaned his plate in record time. Didn't even offer me a bite. Joe and his wife are wonderful and always make us feel welcome and well taken care of. Joe's is our go to spot. So if you're hitting Pedro and want a good meal hit up Joe's efore word gets out and it gets too packed to get a seat!

Sticky Glazed Pork Shank 10. Blackberries & Butter Montamore Cake Complimentary chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles for the birthday boy! My favorites: 1. The blueberry cornbread was served with the best honey butter and blueberry jam. 2. The goat curry was not gamey. The meat was tender and the curry was mild in flavor. 3. The salmon was served with a crispy skin. The celery and peanut salad complemented the salmon well. 4. The pork belly was full of flavor. It was served with glass noodles. 5. The HIGHLIGHT of dinner was the pork shank. It was served with a strawberry salad, cucumbers, hoisin mayo sauce, hot mustard sauce, naan, and lettuce. The meat fell of the bone. This is a MUST try. For dessert we ordered the blackberries & butter cake. It was served with a frozen blackberry basil jam which had the consistency of a sorbet and basil whipped cream.

I loved all the greens and pita to wrap the pork and goodies into! We ended with a bday scoop of mango sticky ice cream which was completely different than I've had before and yummy.
