Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar - Grande Prairie, Alberta

Not exceptional, but an ok restaurant. Have had some real good items on their summer menus over the years, to try, that have been good. Chef must have been on their a game those days. But this time Im thinking it was service. Maybe she didnt have enough help. ... Table of four, outside with probably about 4 other tables to serve. Forgot a serving of wings, took a while for my burger to come out after everyone else at table, had been served, when it did it was def cool. When she asked if everything was ok I did let her know, she offered to take it back, but a cold burger and the wait for a new one, with everyone else already halfway through their meals, wasnt ideal. I didnt want the 2 sides, that came with my burger, and ordered onion rings instead. Wont be doing that again. The 5 that came were very crispy. Lesson learned - will just take the sides that come with, as charged extra for the 5 onion rings. (I was told that it was a measured portion, just a bit sad when you dont have the other) Read more

I did an online order for only chillie chicken, that was it. Paid more then $17 bucks got all the way home for bone dry cold chicken with shaved carrot ontop. Most they did or said was " ooh umm yeah I'll check with the kitchen but you can come ... grab the sauce". Never going back, waste of my money. Read more

We enjoyed our meals and I had a wonderful Caesar that has me searching for clamato in the uk!

Original Joe's has a great laid-back atmosphere with good service. It is a restaurant that has consistency with how good the food is. The dill dip is a must, and their Caesars are amongst the best. It is a great place to grab a bite to eat, hang ... out with friends, or go for a date. Read more

We stepped in right after work, before the supper rush hit on half price wing night. Our server, and I regret that my work worn mind missed her name, was extraordinary, filled with smiles, foresight and efficiency from moment one. The dear soul who brought our meals out from the ... kitchen was just as endearing and kind. The atmosphere was great. Just enough music to keep the heart light yet still, one's dinner conversation could easily be heard by one's dining partner. The menu was challenging to choose from as everything looked and sounded so good, so comforting for the weary soul. I knew I'd come specifically with thoughts of roasted Brussels sprouts in mind yet so much else captured my eye. In the end, I choose the tomato soup as a starter, the Brussels sprouts as my main with, of course, a side of the half price s&p wings. My colleague had something spicy that I regretfully also missed the name of but it's in the photos and she said it was good. We're both foodies so a thumbs up from her was also a win. The soup 😍 was the perfect creaminess as I'd chosen the tag on option of melted cheese in/topping it. Texture, flavour, filling content! Honestly, on its own, it could have been the perfect end to a long day. After nibbling on some wings, accompanied the freshest of carrot and celery sticks (trivial to some, important to me), my appetite filled but my mind still craving, I splurged on calories and wallet go add a brownie to the mix. Well worth it!!!! A decadent treat to top it all off!!! All in all, the soup topped with cheese and accompanied by small breads, the roasted Brussels sprouts, two orders of wings to share, a delightfully warmed large brownie with icecream ... $54 but it hit the spot and I ended up with some leftovers for my lunch the next day.
