Original Joe’s Restaurant & Bar - Winnipeg, Manitoba

I reserved a table for four for the Mother’s Day special. When we arrived on time, we were seated at our reserved table, which had the Mother's Day special advertisement. However, we were told we just missed the special. I explained our situation and asked if they could still honor ... the special, but the answer was no. I then inquired about any other specials and was told there were drink specials only. I asked if they could offer any meal specials under the circumstances, but again, the answer was no. When I asked if the manager was involved in these decisions, the server confirmed that they were. The service was disappointing: the server was late bringing milk for coffee and brought the bill instead of taking our order when I reminded her. We also had to ask twice for drink refills. It took over 45 minutes for our meals to arrive, despite there being only about 10 people in the restaurant. While the meals were good, the service was subpar. I still left a tip despite the server's overall clueless or possibly tired demeanor. Read more

Good atmosphere and excellent service from staff. Food was presented well. The menu has good variety and the daily specials and happy hour deals are pretty good. Items we tried: Bruschetta Chicken Fettuccine, Nashville Spicy Chicken Burger, Nachos, Poutine, Coleslaw and some drinks. #1 Item was Poutine, very flavorful gravy and crispy fries. Nachos ... was definitely great as well although I feel at that price, you should get a couple scoops of Guacamole included. Other items - Burger, Fettuccine were good enough but I was disappointed with the coleslaw - was dry and not sweet enough. Overall, I was satisfied and would rate it 4.2/5 to be precise. Will be coming back to try other items sometime. Read more

We had the Gyoza as an appetizer. It was really good. Also ordered fish tacos that came with two tacos and a good portion of fish. And the fish burger was also good and the presentation was interesting. Server was friendly.

Really nice, clean sports bar with indoor and outdoor seating options. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable of their food and beverage options. As the weather seemed fitting, I ordered from their summer menu. Opting for the Watermelon-Feta salad, I anticipated a meal-sized serving for $17.  I would have to say that ... it was a tad underwhelming.  Flavourful, for sure, but it certainly could have been a larger serving for the price point. Overall though, seems a nice place and I would return and recommend Read more

Went for a simple dinner out, and overall was satisfied. Food was tasty and quick to be delivered. Server was not as energetic as we have had in the past. Maybe just having an off day. Otherwise would recommend for a casual dinner out.
