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?

They have a great Brussel sprouts appy and great drink selection. I had Whiskey BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger and it was yum! And you get two sides, which is great (their fresh cut fries were excellent).

Every single time we call ahead for an order with our AMA card the staff give us a hard time despite AMA website stating it’s good for dine in, call ahead or walk in takeout orders.
I would like the owner to correct the staff as we are tired of having problems with them.

I have been coming to Original Joes for years but the location in West Edmonton on Gaurdian Rd has really gone down over the last 3 months. New Manager?? It takes 55 minutes for an order of nachos is a snack before the main meal??? Really. You have lost a regular customer because this is not the first time now.
