- DWDaneen WeberNov 7, 20255.0Great food, great gluten free options. We had wonderful waitress. Was a bit loud at lunch unable to visit without yelling.
- UEUzo EgbuzieNov 5, 20253.0Good food ..but limited options. Basic maybe
- APArshdeep PannuOct 28, 20251.0We had a very disappointing experience here while celebrating my friend’s birthday. Our server, Sophia(7835), was unprofessional and dismissive. She brought out the birthday brownie in the middle of our meal without asking, lit the candle herself, and refused to replace it when we asked to serve it later. What made it worse was that she went to her coworkers and started talking about our table — they were clearly making fun of us, which felt extremely disrespectful. The whole experience felt rude, uncomfortable, and insensitive. Definitely not the kind of service we expected, especially on a special occasion.
- NSNicole SimoneauOct 19, 20252.0Unfortunately had a poor experience at OJ’s. We were in at 4 pm on Sunday with 2 other tables and it took an hour to get our food. Food was alright. Service was disjointed as we had at least 3 different servers. There was shouting from what I assume was the kitchen on 2 occasions. Perhaps calling out for a server and was unprofessional. There were 3 separate parties that came in sat themselves and were never served and all of them eventually left after waiting. There was another patron at the bar who was cut off by the staff. Throwing ice at people and trying to chat with others and he poured his own drink from a mickey in his pocket. Kudos to the servers for cutting him off and getting him to pay his bill but there should’ve been support from management of some kind to get him to leave the building. It was an uncomfortable experience and we wanted to leave as soon as possible.
- ASAmanda ScottOct 17, 20255.0Had the absolute best server tonight. Her name is Sawyer and I can't say enough good things about her. She is personable, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Original Joe's in Lloydminster and if you get seated in Sawyer's section, you're guaranteed A+ service.
