Reviews for Original Joe's in Vernon, BC
Service was reasonably quick but our server seemed annoyed with us from the moment we arrived. The dining area is clean and in... good shape but it gets really loud when it's even a quarter full and a few of the TVs have such bad burn in that they are almostcompletely blue. The food was quite good so we will definitely be back. Read more
Very good service. Attentive but not annoying. We had A chicken Ceasars, a Cobb salad and two orders of their huge burgers. The... White Sangria I ordered was delicious. Read more
Went there on 09/10/2022. First of all our sever, Holly was fantastic! She was very polite and incredibly accommodating. She... went out of her way to communte to the kitchen my dietary restrictions. For her and the cooks they get a 5 star review!???? This review is mainly just about the corporate side of things. When I was in Vernon I was excited to go to OJ's becausefrom their website I was impressed to read the number of vegan options available. When we got there I was disappointed that alot of the items labeled "vegan" we not actually vegan. I felt terrible that I had to keep asking our waitress to keep goingback to the kitchen to ask questions because most of the things labeled on the menu were not ACTUALLY vegan. I also have a dairyallergy so this was very difficult to order. It must have been so frustrating for her and the cooking staff. However this wasnot their fault. The menu should have been clearly labeled and the company failed to do so. For instance, you cannot call theCajun Chicken Cheddar burger if you have to serve it without the bun, cheese, and the sauce. The sides were not clearly labeledand I had to ask a ton of questions and had to keep sending Holly back to ask the kitchen staff more questions. We ended upordering the Teriyaki veggie bowl and The Kona. The veggie bowl was pretty sad looking, there was few veggies and a bit of brownrice, there was no tofu or beans or nothing of substance. The Kona Burger was just an impossible paddy with one single, tinypineapple ring on lettuce and a tiny bit of brown rice. The meal was so sad looking. I ALWAYS take photos of my food, I didn'teven bother with my veggie bowl because it was so underwhelming. I took a photo of my partner's burger to put in this postbecause it was so pathetic looking. Keep in mind that this "burger" cost $20.50! Some ways that the chain can improve on thisare - clearly label the menu, including the sides. -make clear instructions for staff -ingedient lists -get a chef Read more
Pesto fettuccine was yuk. Greasy. Tasted like Lipton chicken noodle soup with tough chicken. Drowned it in red pepper and... parmesan and still can't get the taste out of my mouth. The waitress was nice. Read more
Outrageously expensive for low quality food. Bought a chicken salad for $18.25. Was just a bunch of lettuce with about five... little dinky pieces of chicken. Could have made that at home for less than five dollars. Read more
The food was edible, i expected a bigger portion of food considering the price, the French fries were mostly potato skin, Cesar... salad was under dressed, restaurant was clean but could have been better, the worst was the waitress. She walked past usmultiple times and ignored us, unless she was delivering food or taking our order. my spouse had to ask a different waitress fora glass of water which was never refilled. She also only talked to me and ignored my spouse. Read more
Comfortable sports bar style facility. Foods although mentioned to be high quality was barely mediocre. I arrived in Vernon late... and 2 restaurants already turned me away at 8pm and 810pm. At 816pm original joes took my service. Double marghretta night toboot. Yes please. And a steak sandwich with out the potatoes and breads. The staff was very polite, accommodating and the cookwas precise on the rare sirloin steak. The salad was bitter and contained, bruised mushy pieces. The Margherita was tasty butvery low quality tequila. Read more
Wonderful service.. came in to the restaurant and greeted with smiles. I had the Steak sandwich with fries and Caesar salad... and my friend had the butter chicken. The steak was done to perfection and the meal was great, except both of us had the samething to say about the steak and the chicken and that there was not much flavor to it. A very pleasant evening.
