Restaurant
Original Joe’s Edmonton - Terwillegar is a place that welcomes all adults. We have craveable classics, down-to-earth vibes, and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Our OJ’s is located in one of Edmonton’s most popular neighbourhoods since 2005. We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of the development and growth of this community. You can take in a few rounds of golf at one of the nearby courses before stopping in for an OJ's meal, or visit the Edmonton Public Library. We have a dog-friendly patio in the summer so you can bring your fur babies along for a pint on a hot summer day.

- DEDella EinarssonNov 7, 20255.0We had the most amazing experience with our server Savanna. She is so kind, gave us amazing service and truly cared about us. She is an amazing server and deserves a raise! She is a queen.
- PBPhoenix BermudezNov 6, 20251.0I’ve always loved Original Joe’s. My friends and I used to go to the one in Grande Prairie all the time, and it was consistently a 10/10 for food, service, and atmosphere. I decided to go last night with my girlfriend due to all the great experiences I've had with OJ' before, but once we got the food, our server said that she would be right back with the cutlery, we waited there for over 15-20 minutes and got nothing. She would constantly pass by our table and help the people around us and I was pretty fed up. This is Original Joe’s, not a fast-food joint like McDonalds or something, I’m not about to eat my main dish with my hands. By the time she finally came back, I was so frustrated that I just asked to pay and took the food home instead. Do better.

- IGISABELLA GrahamOct 30, 20251.0I have now been to this location a few times, and I have NEVER seen such unprofessional behaviour from the manager Stephanie. I witnessed this woman degrade her staff in front of other customers, constantly complain about how the service is going to slow during a rush yet never lifted a single finger to help her staff. I actually overheard her say word for word “that’s not my problem, so you better figure it out.” The staff is wonderful and seem to be barely keeping afloat because they have a manager who would rather bully them than do any decent work. I hope this finds the right person and something is done, I have never been more enraged for these poor employees who have to work in that environment she’s created.
- HLHeather LOct 25, 20251.0My daughter had dinner with you this evening, with a group celebrating a friend’s birthday. She spoke to the server about having Celiac disease and clarified some menu items that would not work for her. After talking to the server she settled on a Caesar salad (without chicken because apparently you grill everything on a gluten cross contaminated grill). She specifically made sure to mention she couldn’t have any croutons on it. Well after eating a crunchy piece she thought was bacon , she discovered croutons in her salad. Thank you for having a bathroom she could throw up in, after which she had to leave early as she felt so unwell. If you can’t serve someone with celiac you should be up front about it. Won’t be seeing you again and I seriously think in this day and age you’d have better awareness about these things.
