- SBSusan Bee2 days ago5.0I haven't been to Original Joe's in a long time and I'm so glad we went tonight. Not many places serve Bulldogs so that was a treat! I had the fish tacos which were delicious but the best part of the experience was our server, Jack. He was so friendly and kind and we bonded over our mutual disdain for cilantro :) Overall it was a very good experience and we will be back soon. Thank you, Jack!
- FNForest NieldNov 8, 20255.0Elise made our group’s night out a blast. Service was great, food was out quick and delicious. Vibes were immaculate, 10s all around.
- DKDebbie KostNov 8, 20255.0Our party of 4 adults and 2 littles had lunch today at the Pandosy location. We met our lovely server Julia who is so personable and made our visit there a very special experience. She is knowledgeable about the menu, she was attentive and good humoured and created a relaxed and lighthearted atmosphere that we all commented on. The food and serving staff were great and we will remember how special this young lady Julia made our day for quite some time. We will be back, thank you! Debbie

Such a great guy ! The calamari was delicious! We will definitely be back! This was a great evening because of the food and service!
- MSMark SmithNov 7, 20255.0An always welcoming, unpretentious environment. Staff are upbeat, kind, responsive and professional. A shout out to Cole who wraps it all with a personal & friendly touch. With so many options in town I often choose this establishment and highly recommend it. Mark
