Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar - Calgary, Alberta

Specials are good. And it's open till 12am (I think 2 am on Friday and Sat). They have healthy choices like brown rice and you can order things like the lettuce wraps gluten free. As a chain restaurant, it's probably second to my favorite (Earl's Barlow lounge). It ... can be a little noisy when busy, so not great for anything intimate. Read more

This has become a regular favorite of mine, the food is consistent and well presented. The staff are friendly, always remember you and are more than knowledgable about the menu, both food and drink. Alice is running a great room. One of my go-to's is the Kona Burger, ... but I always get it with a grilled chicken breast. It is a great alternative. Put this on the menu. They’ve added a pool table. Great addition for a night out with friends Read more

I’ve been here many times out of convenience. This evening I had the best service I’d ever had from Chantelle. Never seen her before but she was friendly and attentive. Previously, as a single woman (clearly the servers don’t expect much tip from me) I’d end up waiting ages or ... having to ask out right unless I was at the bar. This one is good. I don’t write many reviews but I think she’s new and I think she’s great. Read more

My boyfriend and I come to this location a lot and after a really bad experience, we won't be coming in for quite a while. We absolutely love OJ's but we are so disappointed with how we left. We waited about 30 minutes for our food which is definitely on ... the longer side of wait time-but as a server I can totally be understanding of this, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. What really got us so upset was we ordered a soup to go to at the beginning of our meal which also took another 20 minutes and for soup? To top it off it was also $9.50 and it wasn't even half way full! it was MAYBE a 1/3 full of soup... Anyways, definitely feel ripped off at this point and won't be returning. Read more

The food and the service was awesome. The poutine (my first time)was great as well. The environment was friendly and the staff was awesome as well. I got a Bacon Burger and a Beer, and price wise there was nothing to complain about. If it wasn't out of town for ... me, I'd be a regular, no doubt about it. Read more
