Street View of Isleton, California uploaded on 10 February 2008

It was a beautiful February day when we stopped by Isleton Joe's. The motorcyclists were out in force and this was the place they came to eat. However, it wasn't only motorcycle clubs that stopped to eat, there were families, locals, tourists, Bay Area residents and general riff-raff (like us) that enjoyed the food.

The decor in the restaurant was a little bit hodge-podge (note the paper valentine's on the wall to celebrate Valentine's Day), the food was fresh, well-cooked and tasty.
