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 location in The Grange is easy to get to and located at the crossroads of Anthony Henday and Whitemud Drive. We’re close to a well-stocked retail strip and a nicely renovated Safeway. If you’re catching a show at the River Cree Casino and Resort, visit us for a drink first (or after, if you want to catch late-night Happy Hour). With West Edmonton Mall and Costco so close, you can run errands and then bring your family to us for a nice meal—we’re kid friendly until 10pm! Cold beer, dill dip and good vibes. What more can there be?

My partner and I finally went to Original Joes for dinner on Tuesday night.
I was so impressed with our server. This young woman was remarkable and memorable. She made us feel at home.
My god for the life of me I cant remember her name. There were actually 2 young girls, but our main server deserves a raise. I like hot wings my partner not so much. She actually managed to get the chef to make both flavors. Food was really good. But service is everything. She is fantastic.

Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent service. The bartender, Melanie, was especially friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely come back.

Nicely decorated pleasant service, but the food was poor. Steak was over cooked salad tasted like it came out of a bag, rice tasted stale and over cooked. Beer was flat and the margaritas weren’t blended. Calamari was good.

I recently ordered the West Coast Chop Salad through UberEats, and while the flavors were great, I was disappointed by the portion size. For $25, I was expecting a hearty salad with a full grilled chicken breast, but the ingredients were quite minimal. The container they sent it in was huge, but the salad barely filled half of it. There was tons of empty space. Just a handful of greens, (barely any of the additional mix-ins like chickpeas, avocado, cucumber) and a couple small pieces of chicken. It didn't feel like a full meal, and I was still hungry afterward. It seems like the portion sizes might have been downsized recently. I remember it being better than this not too long ago.
