Reviews for Original Joe's in St. Albert, AB
Compared to other restaurants, it's more quiet and not normally as busy (unless hockey night) waiters/waitresses have always... been super friendly. Would recommend they use a note pad/ their iPad to take orders however instead of coming back multipletimes to confirm the order or overall bringing the wrong dish. None the less will definitely come back again Read more
Take out was extremely slow taking an extra 20 minutes after arriving at designated time of 25 minutes after ordering. Was... comp?d a drink at the bar which was nice. Got home with food and my wife?s $20 chicken tenders consisted of 3 puny overcookedstrips barely equating to one Costco chicken tender (where we originally thought about picking up from?regrets) the coleslawwas unmixed (had onions in it ???? and was very bland) My ghost pepper chicken burger didn?t disappoint but definitely wasn?t?ghost pepper? level of spiciness by any means, maybe 6 out of 10. We ordered a slice of the red velvet cake as the onlinepicture looked great?but what we got was what seemed liked a child size portion of dry cake for the steal of a price of about$10 (9.45$ if you want specifics). Not even the thickness of a small plastic fork prong. Overall, pretty disappointing showingfor this restaurant tonight on the easiest of the meals. Generally this hasn?t been our experience here when dining in but we?llprobably avoid taking out again. Only they cake is pictured as it was the the final straw to actually come Google review it.

Not sure if they were short staffed or something the night we went, but not all the tables were full and yet we were not... attended to well. Tried to order a happy hour drink on the menu in front of us to be told that they took that drink off thehappy hour menu... Had to argue a bit for them to honour the price. The service was really slow, and by the time our food camethe jalapeno mac and cheese was cold. There was no cutlery or napkins on our table, so upon asking our server for cutlery theydumped a pile on the end of the table for the guests to disperse themselves. All in all, not a pleasant experience. We have beenbefore a few years ago and the service and food was much better then. Read more
Waitress was great. Menu is a bit tough for me since I'm allergic to vinegar(this includes dressings,mayo,balsamic reductions,... most commercial sour creams and commercial Hummus. Still managed to find something enjoyable. If there were less vinegar bitswould give them the extra star Read more
We popped in for dinner and ordered a starter, a grilled cheese burger (no lettuce, tomato, or sauce) and lettuce wraps. Our... waitress promptly met us at our table and kept our drinks full throughout the night with a smile. Our food arrived and wenoticed the burger had lettuce, tomato, pickles (which were not on the menu) and sauce. We caught the error right away and thewaitress immediately went to fix the concern. The burger came back with no veggies but still covered in sauce and now on ahamburger bun. Third times a charm we guess as we finally got the correct burger the third time it came out of the kitchen(though it did smell like pickles). Upon receipt of the bill we noticed we were being charged full price for an order that hadto be made three times. Not even 10% off for the mix up and the burger wasn't even warm when we got it.

After a long drive from BC I had a very nice dinner at this place. Very friendly service, delicious food, fries crisp to the... point... and Guiness fresh from the barrel. A good ending after a stressful day of driving! Read more
OJ?s St Albert has been a staple part of our restaurant rotation for the last few years and we have always been satisfied with... the service and food quality. Our visit last night broke that streak? The wings were slightly under done, the French onion soupwas shy on croutons and cheese (I sent this one back) and the lettuce wraps were an extra saucy mess. Our server was a pro andher service was excellent but a lack of care and attention in the kitchen was cause for a Friday night let down. I?m stillgiving a rating of 4 stars as every visit before this as been very satisfying?hopefully last night was just a blip on the foodquality radar. Read more
