Reviews for Original Joe's in Calgary, AB

We have been going here regularly for a few months. There is definitely loud music and screaming children most of the time,... which is why I was perplexed by our recent experience. Upon arrival we waiting 14 minutes to have anyone acknowledge that wewere there. The server was talking with another group of loud patrons for quite a while. She was only serving 3 tables includingus. We engaged in some polite banter in which, she plain out told me that the other customers were "more important than us"because they were "regulars" and that we would just need to wait! I also asked what hours children could come into therestaurant (I wanted to bring mine) and was told that they want to discourage families because they are a bar and she getsbetter tips from "drinkers not families". Clearly, they do not want us as customers. Read more

Well I can honestly say I have never been more disappointed. We're from a small town haven't eaten out until this trip because... of covid. Was really looking forward to having a wonderful rack of Greek ribs and to my dismay they do not have them on the menuanymore. Anything else that I tried to look for besides the lettuce salad, being a diabetic I could not eat because everythingwas slathered with barbecue sauces that were high in sugar etc. After looking at the menu we ended up leaving without eating atthis establishment. And I guess the only other calling that we really had was the music was so loud and when we commented thatto our waitress all she could say was it's a bar what do you expect? Well I expect that at noon you didn't need to have themusic that loud I couldn't even hear my husband talking across the table from me and he me that's how loud it was. Read more

Went for food with friends. They ordered a pound of wings each usually $16 but on special for $8 they got 7 wings each not even... a full pound. I got the beef stuffed yolkshire puddings and barely even had a plate full for $16 which apparently normally alsoonly comes with three for that price? Something I was told after we complained to management about portion sizes v.s. cost. Theywere willing to discount these items but not after the manager rudely berated us and was extremely unprofessional. Felt sorryfor the new server there. Read more

Always a great little spot to grab a few drinks, some appies! The deck is a gem - nice to see trees and water instead of just... parking lots or the street like other bars!! Read more

Had to write a rave review of an appetizer I tried last night. OJ's Hummus and Pita was fabulous! Dip includes olives and feta... which really make it special. Not a big fan of the pita pieces that were fried; plain would be better. But oh that hummus! Greatjob. Read more

My friend and I visited Aspen Landing Original Joe’s yesterday on a Wednesday night! We sat on the patio and was served by a... lovely waitress! For drinks we had a Diet Coke with lime and a virgin Patio Joe! We then shared the calamari, Brussels sprouts,bruschetta, and honey garlic chicken wings! Great service, tasty food, overall great time! Read more

Went there with my fiancé for a celebratory dinner dater after completing most tasks on our wedding list. The environment is... very chill and I honestly enjoyed my time there. The waitress we had was extremely friendly, open and paying attention. Wereally liked her customer service. (Unfortunately, we forgot her name, but I'm sure if she sees this, she would know who weare). Definitely would come back again before our wedding date! Let's not forget the food... it was good!

Came to try it out because I had some time to kill. Had the steak sandwich with fries and mixed greens. 10/10 steak was cooked... perfectly and the fries were to die for! Super crispy and well seasoned. Came around 4pm and it was semi busy definitely not tooloud or crowded. Staff was attentive and not hovering over tables. The design allows for great airflow which was terrible forthis cold snap! Great menu selection and service was very fast. Would definitely visit again Read more
