Food and atmosphere all good, we just had a very poor server. Not sure if she was new, but she was awful.

Went here for brunch for 3. We ordered Soup & Salad (Tomato bacon + Grilled Chicken Ceasar), Truffle Parmesan fries, Bruschetta, Macaroni & Cheese, and Blueberry cheesecake. Food tastes delicious! Served fresh and hot, did not wait too long to eat (cause we were starving , and this being our first meal of the day). Our server was super nice, kept it chill and consistently checked on our needs and provided what we asked for, she's great! (I'm terrible... I did not ask for her name) Not to mention the music playlist they got on during our stay was amazing, kept our mood happy and chill.

It was my first time to visit this place and I would definitely recommend this as a go-to if you want to have good food and feel the local ambiance of the city (I'm visiting Calgary w/family from Vancouver). Our whole experience dining here gave us very good vibes. Already planned to come back again for dinner!

Keep up the good work OJ's!

I’m from Germany and on my Road Trip through Canada. I visited Joe’s today and had The Original Burger with sweet potato fries and a Caesar salad. The staff were super friendly, and the food was excellent. I had no idea what to order, so I told the lovely lady behind the bar to surprise me — and she did not disappoint! She created two tasty cocktails.
It’s definitely worth a visit for its rustic style, great atmosphere, and beautiful bar.

Service was painfully slow for there only being 2 other tables. Servers were standing around chatting. Had to wait or wave them down for their attention every single time. I asked for a recommendation on a drink and was charged $14 for a shot. Will not return to this location.

We just want to say that our joy is not the same without the people who serve here, the person in the photo I don't remember his name, but he was beautifully kind, I would definitely come back for him! We felt very comfortable and we were happy with our visit to the place! thank you for such good will!

The waiter was not giving any respect. Maybe me because i am an immigrant.

Well, we went with our friends on Saturday night, and first of all we were waiting for quite a bit of time to be seated, then the server said they have free sitting, there was no sign or anything else, so we didn’t know, should we be be seated or not, so we sat at the table, the server asked for our id’s twice, we just showed her at the entrance, the server ( girl with long hair and tattoos) was nice , but seemed to be a little pissed with our questions about the beer. I understand that it was busy but serving it’s not just putting plates on the table it’s about knowing your product, the server didn’t know anything about it. 2 stars for the nice location! Food was good, serving could be way better) thank you

OJ’s is my go to spot for lunch, happy hour, and pre/post event drinks. Staff is great; personable, attentive, and always makes me feel welcome. Solid happy hour and daily specials. Food is great; love the fish tacos, chilli chicken, or burgers. Best part, OJs was the first to have craft beers on tap and they continue to rotate local breweries! Plus, the view of the downtown skyline is spectacular; it’s best at night when Telus Sky is lit up.

Funky restaurant with comfort food. Bar up front and tables in the back. The atmosphere is Bohemian but the food is modern. Some there is music.

Excellent and huge burger with regular or gluten free bun
