Original Joe’s is a place that welcomes everyone. We have craveable classics for lunch or dinner, down-to-earth vibes and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Our OJ’s is the neighbourhood pub of the northwest quadrant of Airdrie. We’re a short drive from Main Street, where you can check out the Airdrie Farmers’ Market every Wednesday. If you’re in the mood for some nature, we’re situated closely to Airdrie’s beautiful Nose Creek Park. Nose Creek Park has beautiful fountains and walking paths, and in the winter, you can find ice skating and the Festival of Lights. Visit us after you’ve worked up an appetite at Woodside Golf Course and we’ll get you a classic OJ’s handheld with your choice of two sides!

The food here is great, no denying that. Probably one of the better options in Airdrie. BUT, we order pickup frequently and every single time there’s something missing.
Eating a $30 dry beef dip with no au jus is not a pleasant dining experience. Forgotten sauces and sides every single time is not acceptable considering the price of the meals. Hoping management fixes this issue but till then I won’t be back.

Today I was very disappointed with my dinner.
I ordered a hamburger with bacon, pineapple, cheese, and French fries on the side. The hamburger was dry and cold, the bacon was so hard I almost broke a tooth, and the fries were cold, tasteless, and some were even undercooked.
My son ordered the butter chicken, which was also disappointing. The rice was dry and cold, and the naan bread was hard. Honestly, a five-year-old could have done a better job.
We spent $60 on a dinner that ended up in the garbage. I will never come back here. Too bad.

I wanted somewhere that I could sit down and write with some good food and a warm drink and let me tell you this was the place. Every time I’ve visited this restaurant the food has been excellent no matter what I’ve ordered and this time was no different. I arrived with my iPad and I was seated in a cozy two person booth tucked in the back without even needing to ask. Alexis provided the best service I think I’ve ever had at any restaurant, regularly checking in and making great suggestions throughout my lengthy stay which I never felt pressured to leave like some other places I’ve been to. It was a very relaxing environment, very clean, very professional staff, just an all around great experience. I will without a doubt be making this my go to place to dine out whenever I’m in Airdrie. For those who are worried about the price, it’s worth it.

Ate there on Halloween, almost always get the steak sandwich but tried the crispy chicken burger for first time. It was really good and fries were amazing, best fries I’ve ever had.
I did prefer the atmosphere before their renovation but restaurant is clean and bright.
Staff were all dressed for Halloween and our server was really nice
