Big Joe's 8

Classic diner known for generous portions of comfort food and Friday night prime rib specials since 1984.

Big Joe's 8 brings classic diner choices to San Mateo Avenue in San Bruno. Its breakfast menu covers eggs, omelets, corned beef hash, pancakes, and French toast, with Joe's Scramble combining ground beef, mushrooms, onion, spinach, and eggs. We like the straightforward comfort of a place where a hearty breakfast and a familiar lunch both feel at home. Burgers and sandwiches carry the menu into the rest of the day. Joe's Burger adds bacon, avocado, and Jack cheese, while a patty melt, tuna melt, or club sandwich offers another familiar route. Chicken-fried steak and other steak plates broaden the choices for a more substantial meal, and salads provide an alternative. For a San Bruno diner stop, Big Joe's appeal is its familiar lineup of American comfort dishes and the freedom to order according to your appetite.
