- JSJigg SawDec 20, 20251.0I ordered the chicken on Thursday night it just tasted burnt and bland with a honey glaze mash potato’s where also under whelming and ever since I ate this food I got food poisoning I have been throwing up and running to the washroom every 2 minutes and just liquid been in bed all day Friday stomach in knots and I can’t even keep down water I will not be ordering from here again
- KBKate BaglotNov 5, 20251.0Normally, when food's not the best at a restaurant, I'm the first to hold my tongue but the fish my husband and I both ordered was some of the worst fish that I've had in a long time we let our waitress know and they brought out new stuff which was just as bad as the first and the best comp they would do was seven dollars off our entire bill Won't be going back there.
- SSSaul SlowinskiOct 24, 20253.0Overall a very mediocre experience, and it’s been this way for a while. Service was slow, but that’s no fault of the servers, three people shouldn’t be handling the entire floor on a busy Friday night. Steak Sandwich was okay, maybe a little bland, and the fries were incredibly salty. Gravy was the only thing that really saved it. It disappoints me the most because I’ve had some incredibly good experiences here and my last couple visits have had us waiting at the door for five to ten minutes before we’re even acknowledged, something that seems insane to me as somebody who’s worked in restaurants for the last few years given the door is directly in view from the kitchen and bar area. I’d recommend it to try, but there’s certainly better options in town.
- DDDaveSep 30, 20251.0sat for forty five minutes.Waiting for our drink and an hour for our food and the food wasn't even good.My burger was burnt.This is the second time we've come to original.Joe's and got bad service. There were people that came after us got their drinks and food before us and left before us and the first time we went, the girl said she was new. So we let it slide, but that same girl served us the second time almost a month later and said she was new again. I'm never coming here again. And I literally sat in there for almost 2 hours. I do not recommend coming here. If you want good service. waste of time.
- MRManuelita RemySep 5, 20255.0Best server ever lol but , I believe our servers name was Melissa . She made the whole night worth it. She’s so funny and just super on top of everything, like never had to wait or wonder where she went. It felt like she was everywhere at once but still made time to joke around with us. Definitely the reason I’ll come back, 100%. If you get her as your server you’re lucky.
