Down the street since 1997. The name's Original Joe's. But you can call us OJ's. Yup, just OJ's. We're not fussy here. We're your original gathering place for the classics you love and the good times you crave. Because a taste of the good life shouldn't be hard to get to. And neither should the dill dip. So gather the gang and join us for a chilled pint, great vibes, and an A.C.E. Cheese Burger with fries and a salad on the side, just like old times. 'Cause you're a regular here.

    The service was pretty slow but the waitress was kind. If she hadn’t been kind I would’ve rated it lower. There were some rowdy guys at the bar yelling at the basketball game on tv. Made it less enjoyable because I was hoping for a more relaxing atmosphere

    Went for mother's day. Booking the reservation on OpenTable made booking the reservation quick. The staff had roses to hand out to each female guest so my mom, sister and I each got a rose which was such a nice touch. The service was great and so was the food.

    Went to watch the Winnipeg Jets playoff game. Great beer special. Needed to have a better understanding of sound system, though: too quiet — and 90% were watching the game. On another occasion, purchased Wings Special. Not OJOES’ fault, but the chicken quality and quantity is not like it used to be (supplier problem?).

    Food was good! It was very busy and very loud! Service was good overall but we had to go find our waitress to ask for the bill. She walked by several times and we were unsuccessful in getting her attention. Overall good!

    Bryn, our waitress, screwed up our order and made us wait for things we had to ask for. AS one of us did not get our proper order, we asked for an adjustment to our bill. This was given reluctantly.

    Beef dip quality has diminished. It was very dry (not juicy like before), and the meat portion was minimal. There were a bunch of loud people ie:very intoxicated and ruined the ambiance. I was surprised the they were being served. Apps were awesome.

    Party of 4. The only reason for not giving 5 stars for the food was due to a steak sandwich being overcooked and sinewy. The restaurant offered to prepare a new one and comp'ed the item when that customer didn't want to wait. The rest of the food was great (sampled the very tasty brussel sprouts appy, soup of the day, blended cocktail, haddock, caesar salad, and a properly cooked steak sandwich). The wait staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. We sat in a central booth that had a clean and private-feeling with comfortable decor. We will all return.

    We went fir dinner after a movie. The noise level was off the charts. We did know the Super Bowl game was on in the lounge, what we didn’t expect was the screaming profanity and level of intoxication. There were families eating with their children and they were shocked as well that these people were continued to be served alcohol and their screaming went on the entire time we were there. ( we tried to eat as quickly as possible) . The server pointed out that her last place of employment had worse clients than the ones we quickly tired of listening to…. Wow

    I am not happy because the server was really nice but I think it was short staff because we need to wait just to refill the drinks it was my daughters birthday yesterday and i thought there will be a complimentary dessert for her.

    First time at OJ. A little confusing layout when we entered, but we got to our seat no problem. Server was with us right away and all through the evening she was attentive but not intrusive. Ordered the ACE cheese burger. It was excellent! Perfectly cooked, seasoned and built. Also, it wasn’t too big, so I felt satisfied but not stuffed. Overall excellent time and I would go back.

    My partner and I ordered the fish tacos, which we have had before and enjoyed. We found this size of fish in each taco to be very small and consisted mostly of fried batter and no protein. We had to order wings to get come protein in as we did not feel satiated. We wanted to complain but we were out with new friends and decided not make make an ordeal out of it. I don’t think we will be back.

    Reservation indicated a birthday but there was no acknowledgement or offer to order dessert. There were two birthdays at the table. Too bad because the restaurant was chosen by one of the birthday people. One meal requested medium rare meat and was served well done so while that meal was remade we all finished eating and that person ate alone afterwards. Although a portion of his bill was reduced it ruined the dining experience. We all tried to share our meals with him. Too bad the server can’t offer a complimentary salad or fries so he has something to eat with the rest of the table while he waits. We were only advised of reduction on bill when paying so it seemed like no one even cared about the situation until that acknowledgment at end. Perhaps that should be mentioned by server at time of fixing problem. Not a lot of server presence and not due to being too busy since we could see her visiting with other workers in bar area. Seemed like since we weren’t ordering many alcohol drinks there wasn’t a lot of checking on us. One person tasted something spicy and finished their soft drink but was never given the opportunity to order another or even a water to clear his throat.

    The service was great our waitress was Pleasant, drinks tasty. The only complaint I have is the portion size on the chop salad meal. It was more of a side dish then a meal. The shrimp ordered with the salad was enough Again the salad portion should be at least double the size We mentioned this to our waitress and she returned with a plate of brushetta

    We both had haddock. It was really good, perhaps a little more breading than what I like but still very good. Sat on patio and it was nice and shady on a warm summer day. Waitress was very good.
