Reviews for Original Joe's in Cold Lake, AB
Amazing ghost pepper crispy chicken burger! Fries were crispy and came with very flavourful gravy. Will be back very soon!
It started out good... we were allowed to bring in cake for my moms bday. We Got appetizers... the parmessian chips were good.... My chicken burger was good but my daughters ACE poutine was very very salty.... kinda gross 2 out 5. And my husbands fish nchips were just as salty... and he loves fish. Overall fries were almost burnt. I felt their meal did NOT suit the price wepaid. Overpriced for the quality..... toooo much salt!!! A & W would have been just as good at 1/3 of the cost... prettypricey. Most likely wont be going back. Waitress was fine. We tipped her good even tho the food wasnt that great. Note tochef...Too much salt makes it all taste the same after a while Read more
50 cent wings are good in flavour and size. Flavour options are limited to normal ranges that you would expect from a typical... wings place. Red ale is pretty good; pitcher is only served for two drinks. Service is good and to go box is available with adecent size box. Read more
BEST SPOT IN TOWN!! Love this place. Located in downtown Cold Lake, this location is one of the best around. Whenever we go in... there we are always welcomed by a friendly staff. The restaurant itself is always very clean and well maintained. With plenty ofseating there are many options whether you would like something quiet, or something in the open. The menu is extensive and hassomething for anyone. The bar has a lot of options, including awesome OJs exclusive beers (worth a round or two). Some notablemenu items are the beef dip, butter chicken, wraps, poutines, burgers and always the awesome sides. The daily specials arealways worth it. Take out is available. Overall you can?t go wrong here. Highly recommend making this the go to spot in ColdLake. This location also has a pool table and multiple TVs for entertainment. Read more
Went out for supper with the wife hoping for the experience of old original joes. Greatly disappointed. The menu which used to... have way more stuff was gone. A tiny menu has taken its place with a few appetizers and a couple burgers. I am sure this wasbrought on by COVID-19 but none the less is what you will see from them now. It?s basically McDonald?s now with big burgers thatare bland. I ordered the onion rings for appetizer, haddock stack, mash potatoes, and Caesar salad. The onion rings werebasically Sobey?s onion rings that you get in the frozen section. They also didn?t bring out the dill dip and asked if we wanteddill dip. Which was irritating cause of course we do it is supposed to come with horribly overcooked onion rings. They ran outof mashed potato?s which is Weird cause in the restaurant business you can pre make mashed potato?s. They were replaced withfries. Fries were good. The fish burger which was way over cooked! To the point there was parts so hard I couldn?t even chew it.It had a lack of flavour and although it was supposed to have tartar sauce, the tartar sauce was sparse which is sad cause thatwould have been the only flavour. The small amount of tartar sauce they put on it made the top of the bun soggy and it fellapart. I would normally say a messy burger is a good burger but not on a bland flavourless fish burger. The Caesar salad was theonly blessing as it had real bacon pieces and the Caesar salad dressing was good. The waitress was delightful. Originally joeshas fallen apart in my opinion it will be a long time till I go spend my money there again. Good luck to anybody that chooses toeat there. I support local but only to a point.

Well done Original Joe?s! Very good burgers that hit the spot for flavour and juiciness. We had the ?grilled cheese? burger... was an awesome play taking French toast and making a hamburger. The Kona is another winner with great sauce and packed withvarious overlapping flavours, don?t be scared off by it having pineapple, it works! We will be going back very tasty. Read more
Noisy but fun! The food is great and the staff is friendly. The atmosphere is exciting. I enjoyed the buttered chicken while my... husband devoured a beef dip. I would recommend this place, although it was easier to text my husband than to talk here! Read more
I was very impressed with this restaurant. It had a fun atmosphere, great service, and a good menu. I was pleasantly surprised... to see a wide range of vegetarian options, which I wasn?t expecting to see in a small town. Read more
