Half Moon Bay Joe's

A family-owned diner and Italian restaurant on Cabrillo Highway, open daily from early morning to late evening.

Half Moon Bay Joe's has the kind of broad comfort-food menu that makes a group meal easier to organize. Breakfast can mean pancakes, eggs Benedict or an omelet with Italian sausage and mushrooms, while lunch and dinner lean into Italian-American favorites, steaks and seafood. We like the continuity between those meals: familiar dishes give you plenty of ways to settle on something that suits the moment. Chicken piccata, veal Parmigiana and eggplant Parmigiana offer classic dinner directions, with rigatoni and Italian sausage or fettuccine with prawns adding pasta choices. Burgers, hot sandwiches and melts keep lunch approachable, while Joe's scrambles offer another breakfast option. At its Cabrillo Highway South location, this Half Moon Bay restaurant is appealing when you're looking for variety without a complicated decision, whether the table wants eggs, a sandwich or a fuller Italian-American dinner.
