Its not often I feel inclined to write this poor of a review, this is a long one. SHAME DIRECTED DIRECTLY TO THE MANAGEMENT/OWNERS. Went there Saturday for supper, 5pm, its a long weekend, and going from here to the Lainey Wilson concert at 7. Yes it was busy. Got seated on patio right away. But waitresses were confused as to whose responsibility, we, the customers were. We waited 15 minutes before we were able to order drinks. Long time for drinks to come, 30 minutes, but as soon as they came we (5 of us) ordered food, so 5:30 we ordered food. We also asked for limes for our beers, which took 40 minutes to come. It began to rain around 6:00 pm, and different waitress ushered us inside to a booth. 6:30 the 2nd waitress took our 2nd order of drinks. A 3rd waitress shortly thereafter came to us with ANOTHER table's supper, she took it away. 6:45 pm, yet another waitress came with food but again it was another table's order. One of our guests decided to leave and eat at the concert, canceled her food order and left. 6:58 pm (90 minutes after we ordered food), our original waitress came and said your food should be about another 7 minutes ... the remaining 4 people at our table said we will cancel and pay because we are now already late for the concert...but then WOW, another waitress came with our food! We literally woofed it down in 2 minutes, paid our bill and left. We arrived at Original Joes at 5:00pm, leaving at 7:05pm, and yes we were late to the concert as a result of the tardy food service. The food was delicious but we ate it so fast we could not enjoy it.
TO THE MGMT AND OWNERS of this location, its not the first long weekend that has a huge name concert playing at Sask Place. And you should be WAY MORE PREPARED with ALL STAFF working PLUS additional! 90 minutes from ordering our food to getting it is UNACCEPTABLE! AND 30 MINUTES before we got even to order drinks, and an hour in between to get additional drinks. Our original waitress was very good, apologetic, and understanding, not her fault you short staffed your floor and kitchen in the name of profit.
You just lost 5 customers that will never go to your venue again prior to a concert.

Had the west coast chop salad with Cajun chicken. Roasted chickpeas and avocado with feta cheese. Amazing combination. Best salad dish I have experienced.

Fries are now scraggly little bits that have been fried at least twice. I’m not sure if this location uses different fries or they’ve changed them but they’re nothing like what we typically get at other locations or what the pictures show! First order of fries was barely lukewarm - they brought out hot fries but again they were overly greasy hard little bits. Beef dip and fish tacos were just okay. Server was friendly.

I had an absolutely incredible experience at Original Joe’s! The prices were great, the portions were perfect—not too big, not too small—and every bite was delicious. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service from Peyton. She was attentive, friendly, and made our visit truly memorable. Their phenomenal service inspired me to match our bill in the tip—it was that good! I’ll definitely be coming back soon. Highly highly recommend! Keep up the good work management and team!!

Service is always excellent at this OJ's. Food is delicious and is available in good time. Restaurant was full, so a bit noisy to be able to communicate.
Six of us for a birthday celebration. The food was really good however our server was not. We finished the appetizers and the server then did not return and spent 20 mins visiting with someone. We finally got our food and did not see her again until we went to pay at which point she attempted to seat us again as if we had just walked in.

It was pretty dark. Good if you don't want to see the person you're meeting.

Very good chicken wrap and beef dip. The service was excellent. We were there right at opening, so management knows who was on shift and can say well done.
