Editorial Review for Joe's Cable Car Restaurant – by Mike Sher
The Scene
This small shack is instantly distinguishable by Joe's red-and-white block-letter sign proclaiming "Joe Grinds His Own Fresh Chuck Daily," and from the looks of the dining room--papered in glowing newspaper reviews--his work has not been in vain. The segments that remain uncovered reflect diner-standard Formica tabletops and ketchup-red booths.
The Food
All burgers are cooked to order: well-done, rare or anything in between, and the burger itself comes in three sizes (with prices to match). Diners can get their patties gussied up in a variety of ways (try the popular patty melt with grilled onions and cheese on rye), but the real star here is the burger itself: pure, delicious meaty goodness that barely even needs a bun. The fries are tasty, but the thick, creamy shakes are out of this world.

After watching the show of food Network, my boyfriend and I decided to go to joes and try their famous burguers and as soon as I walked in I have to say, no wonder they were on the TV. When we first walked in I noticed the warm and welcoming atmosphere. They serve their burguers in three different sizes and trust me you can really taste the difference. I decided to get a 4oz burguer and my boyfriend went for the 8oz I was surprized of how juicy and tasty the meat was. They have a butcher window where we can walk in and see the meat being grind fresh everyday. Everybody knows that in order to eat well we all have to spend a little more, and if people can't appreciate good food they might as well go to Burguer king or Macdonalds and order a big burguer cooked in the microwave , with tons of fat and pay a couple bucks for it. However if you really want to taste a good burguer made fresh and enjoy a great service,go to Joe's Cable Car you won't be desappointed. I would definatelly come back.

So, for a while my boyfriend and I had been told to go to Joe's Cable Car. Finally we decided to try it. First of all , we were surprised at the cheezy ambiance of it all. Very commercial and not what you would expect given its location. The service was horrible! My boyfriend ordered first and I followed by saying "i'll have the same exact thing, minus pickles". Somehow that was unclear to our server who gave me something entirely different and my boyfriend's burger had no pickles. We also ordered a large fries and small onion rings but got a small order of both. The burgers were good, not the best. But we were pleased... until our bill came. $55 dollars!! Unbelievable! And they triple charged us on certain items. We would've much rather gone to in n' out than spend that much on a burger. I mean $55 and we get plastic wear and plates? What's the deal?? We were so apalled at how expensive it was that we saved the receipt and hung it up on our cork board. We will never return nor will we recommend Joe's to anyone. Tony's Cable Car is far better and cheaper!
Cons: service, ambiance, pricing
