Tommy's Joynt

About the Business

Specialties

Tommy's Joynt is the original hof-brau of San Francisco and has become one of San Francisco's longest standing institutions. Our founders established a reputation of delivering hot food and cold drink at a great price. Our atmosphere is like our food, no frills. Want lettuce on your sandwich? Better go to some fast-food shop because we actually want you to taste the meat we carve in front of your eyes. Want a fork to eat those lamb shanks with? Better get up and go get one by the cashier. Want green beans instead of mashed potatoes? Well, you better speak up because we move fast, so we can serve the people fast. As the people work harder, time gets shorter, the Joynt provides a spot where you can hop in grab some brisket and hop out. Want to stay longer? Take your time; enjoy our large beer selection, our excellent bar, and a healthy platter of sliced, braised, or stewed meats. Join us for the best tasting meat in San Francisco!

History

Established in 1947.

Tommy's Joynt has been owned and operated by the Harris, Veprin, and Pollack triumvirate since 1947. Since 2000, the Veprin children and grandchildren have taken over full time operations. Whatever you may hear from your friends, cab drivers, and in-laws, the same people have owned Tommy's Joynt since it opened in 1947.
