Original Joe’s is a restaurant that welcomes everyone. We have craveable classics for lunch or dinner, down-to-earth vibes and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Cochrane is growing quickly and we’re happy to have a spot within the place known for their small-town hospitality. Situated in The Quarry Shopping Centre, we’re close to the Bow River, path systems, parks and historic downtown Cochrane. Alberta’s Rocky Mountains and all they have to offer are just a short drive away. After a day of shopping or enjoying time with nature, our dog-friendly patio is the perfect spot to meet with your friends and family!
This place has potential. It’s not terrible, but it struggles with consistency. Some dishes are really enjoyable, while others fall flat. Service can also vary depending on the day. Lack of floor management and on busy nights, adding a host to greet and seat people would level up this place. It’s an okay spot if you’re in the area and want something casual, but it’s not somewhere I’d go out of my way for. With a bit more consistency in both food and service, it could easily be a stronger experience.

I’ve been coming back for the Pacific Rim Noodle Soup at Original Joe’s. It’s a big, comforting bowl with a warm, flavorful broth and a mild kick from the chili garlic oil.
The chicken and shrimp make it feel substantial, and the rice noodles soak up the broth really well. It’s not trying to be authentic—it’s just reliably satisfying.
Overall, it’s become a go-to for me when I want something hearty, warm, and consistently good.Perfect also for the cold weather. 👍

Ordered take out. Missing half of the add-ons with one of our dishes and the other was made incorrectly (They didnt read the instructions). Most likely won't be back to this location
