Hey Original Joes!! I ordered and specifically selected "DELIVERY" however upon order confirmation I was instructed to pick up within 25 minutes to which I immediately called your location to cancel the order for pick up and was told the order could not be cancelled or refunded as the item was already made. I specified the second time that the order was placed a minute prior to which your employee then stated it was in the process of being made and that (at 12pm on a Saturday) there was no manager available to authorize cancellation or refund. Do better. I have been charged for this. I am not able nor did I select to pic this up. And will never order from you again.

Our young waitress at OJ’s was fantastic! The male bartender however was TERRIBLE! I ordered an 8oz glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc, after tasting I noticed this was a stale, flat glass (those of you who drink a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc know that they are known for their ‘crisp’ flavor) this is a $13.5 glass of wine (in stores the bottle can be purchased for $17.95) I told our waitress & she happily returned the glass but the bartender refused to open a new fresh bottle & tried to tell me & the waitress that we were wrong & the wine was fine….. Some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced.
