I don’t usually write bad reviews, but after my experience at Original Joe’s in Edson, I feel it’s my civic duty to warn the public.
I went in for a simple lunch with a work colleague. Nothing wild. Nothing exotic. Just a chicken Caesar wrap. A safe choice, right? A wrap. With chicken. Allegedly.
What arrived at my table can only be described as a damp salad that found itself trapped in a tortilla. The “chicken” must’ve been playing hide and seek, because I’m still not convinced it was ever there. I think I spotted a shred. Maybe two. If you blinked, you missed it. It was less “chicken Caesar wrap” and more “lettuce burrito with trust issues.”
And the texture? Imagine if someone rinsed a salad under a faucet and said, “Good enough.” Every bite had the structural integrity of a wet napkin.
But wait it gets better.
About 20 minutes later, my stomach started sending emergency alerts like it had just downloaded a virus. I was sweating like I was on a beach in Cuba with no shade, questioning every life choice that led me to that wrap. I rushed home like I was in an Olympic event called “Survive Lunch,” and barely made it before introducing my face to a bowl for an extended and very aggressive meeting.
Numerous rounds. No commercial breaks.
I went in for a casual lunch. I left with cardio, regret, and a newfound appreciation for plain toast.
Would I recommend this establishment? Only if you enjoy culinary roulette and living on the edge. If you value your afternoon plans or your digestive system you may want to reconsider even touching the door handle.
0/10. My stomach is still in therapy.
