Burgers
Our first restaurant & bar opened in Marda Loop, Calgary, & even way back in 1997, it was comfortable, accessible & affordable. From the very beginning, OJ’s fell in step with exactly what it has always been about. A down-to-earth, down the street experience for all.

We never take ourselves too seriously. We love good food experienced in the company of true friends, in an atmosphere that fits us like a well-worn pair of jeans. It feels real here & that’s just fine by us.
No pretense. No frou-frou. Just craft beers, approachable wines & tried-and-true cocktails. All served up with the kind of fresh-made comfort food you crave again & again. To this day we still hand cut our fries, serve most of our entrées with two sides & pour our own OJ’s beer. So, come sit at our bar without having to lower yours.

    Arrived before 1830 reserve, waitress was prompt and friendly wasn’t busy. Didn’t get food until 19.10. Both meals were cold. Waitress was very good and kept coming back to ensure things were ok. Have been going to this site for a long time so was very disappointed

    The food was delicious! It took 10 minutes before a server came to our table. Sad as there were only 2 tables of 2 in the whole place. And we could see a male server chatting with one of the tables the whole time we were waiting. Might be a good idea to excuse yourself and tend to other tables.

    It’d had been a long time since we had been to an Original Joe’s, nearly 10 years, as my fiancé hadn’t been imprint the food then. But we went, and he was pleasantly surprised. Food was good, restaurant was cool and comfortable, and well looked after by the servers. We’ll definitely be back again!

    It is a shame you got rid of the vegetarian burger made in house. The Beyond meat product is garbage mass produced. Unfortunate that you got rid of the broccolini as well. This would have us second guessing going back at all.

    Overall good experience. Waitstaff was a bit inattentive, but improved once we ordered our food. Unfortunately, at the end when we were offered our bill, our waitress then spent 10-15 minutes socializing at the table beside us. We eventually had to interrupt to request our bill.
