Reviews for Original Joe's in Calgary, AB
It's the staff. They are great - super quick, friendly and just good people. Beyond that, the beer selection is solid and the... food is delicious. I recommend the fish tacos and a couple pints of whatever you want on tap (or from the fridge). Read more
Have online ordered multiple times from this location, and every single time they miss something. New mom here just wanted to... have some hot food only for my husband to get home to see they forgot my meal all together. The manager, I believe he said hisname was Dan, said he could not refund me?? And said I could come back and get my food. Like no. Then he offered an online giftcard to my email, which I never received. Calgary is booming with amazing restaurants, save your time, money, and hungrytummy's and go elsewhere. Read more
This was one of our favorite spots to grab a quick lunch or dinner. Wine Thursdays was a frequent event. And even the brunch was... fantastic....BUT we have noticed the quality of food declining over the last couple years to the point that we don't go there ororder from them anymore. For example, the last few times we ordered take-out the fries were so overdone they were too crispy toeat (and I like crispy fries), the amount of dill dip/other sauces in each container was maybe a 1/4" and not enough to dress atiny salad or dip into, no bacon bits in the Caesar salad, and only 3 chicken fingers in a meal that used to have 5. I knowinflation/food prices are up over the years but as the prices have come up the food quality has still gone down. We have orderedtake-out (not Uber or skip, but directly from them) a bunch of times in the last year and we're now so disappointed that we willnot be ordering again. This is a shame for a place we used to frequent so regularly. Read more
This spot is our go to! The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. The patio in the summer is so cute with all the lights.... If you haven't tried the dill dip - you need to! Everything on the menu is so good! Read more
They have a decent patio. Nice place to catch up with friends if you're in the Mardaloop area. Join them for happy hour because... the prices are a bit steep Read more
We arrived the same time as another table. Their server was great, took their order promptly, they had their food and a... wonderful dinner. Our server could not have been less interested in our table, took forever to come get our order, didn’tbring water, never checked on us, etc. Then our order was buried under a pile of Skip the Dishes orders so the other table wasliterally done eating before our food had even arrived. The manager then came over and was very condescending about how theorder (super simple - a burger, quesadilla, and kids grilled cheese) “only” took 35 minutes, neglecting the fact that theserver took about 25 minutes to take our order. Bad service, and they apparently prioritize online orders over people whoactually come and sit in their restaurant. Read more
Swing by for a lunch with the kids. Brussel Spouts were awesome! The lettuce wraps were ok, the romaine lettuce leafs were on... the smaller side, but the mix was delicious. Gyoza’s my son ate all off them, he said they were the best. My daughter had thepoutine, she didn’t care much for the gravy, said it had a hint of chocolate that she didn’t care for. Washroomclean Parking isn’t the greatest Super friendly waitress Good music and atmosphere Read more
LAUGHABLE. I had to get up and request service 20 mins after ordering drinks. When the drinks arrived the server apologized and... said she had to deliver others drinks, I requested to order our meal, now... Considering our wait. When our appetizers arrived.We requested side plates. Then again, requested side plates.... To which we were told, "we are out of side plates". I replied"MAYBE someone ought to clean one then". The manager approached and told me that I was being RUDE.....What restaurant cannotprovide me a CLEAN Plate? Any plate would have worked. Just bizzare... Go to Merchants across the street they wouldn't ever letthat nonsense go on Read more
