Walnut Creek's Original Joes restaurant has finally set a date for its opening.
===========================================
The long-awaited Original Joe's restaurant has finally opened its doors in Walnut Creek, California, on Thursday, August 14, 2025. The grand opening included a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by members of the Duggan family (owners) and Walnut Creek’s mayor, Cindy Darling, marking the restaurant’s first-ever East Bay location in its nearly 90-year history [1][2][3][4].
Located at 1300 S Main St., in the Broadway Plaza shopping district, across from Macy's [2][4], the restaurant underwent extensive construction and renovation over nearly three years [3]. The new establishment boasts two outdoor patios, a 50-seat cocktail lounge, and seating for roughly 300 guests [5].
The interior of the restaurant is adorned with classic Joe's touches, including green leather booths, marble floors, and memorabilia [6]. Reservations for the restaurant can be made at https://www.opentable.com/r/original-joes-walnut-creek [5].
