- FNFrank NgOct 22, 20253.0A Good Experience Derailed by a Billing Hassle Our late lunch here on October 20th started off well. The happy hour offers great value, and the food was perfectly enjoyable for the price. Unfortunately, the end of our meal was frustrating. We noticed our beers weren't charged at the happy hour price on the bill. While our server corrected the bill for us, the payment machine still processed the original, incorrect amount. The process of getting the overcharge refunded was a hassle and took some time, which definitely put a damper on our visit. What should have been a simple fix turned the experience a little sour.
- PPpunkamunk911Oct 21, 20255.0Took my family of six for supper and watch the Jays win game 7. Nice atmosphere with lots of screens which I liked. Paige was our server and she was top shelf. Super pleasant and always checked back if we needed anything. Great variety of food and I had the fish tacos which were excellent. Also I never eat all the fries but this time I did because they were so delectable! Especially with the delicious gravy! They make proper cocktails as well and I loved my Old Fashioned. Everyone in the family agreed that this was a perfect dining experience and I would go back. Most important to me is the service because food is food and a table is a table so thanks Paige for your efforts this night. Well done!
- SSSarahOct 20, 20255.0⭐ Rating: 5/5 - Casual dining Stopped in at the Original Joe’s near Chinook for dinner before a movie — great casual spot with a friendly atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. Food came out quickly; my burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were crispy and hot. It’s a casual environment, with lots of options for lunch and dinner. Overall, it’s a reliable go-to for a casual meal or a drink with friends. Would recommend for anyone looking for good food, good service, and a relaxed night out near Chinook Centre.
