Original Joe’s is a restaurant that welcomes everyone. We have craveable classics for lunch or dinner, down-to-earth vibes and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Our OJ’s is located within walking distance of downtown Calgary, making us a perfect spot to meet with friends! In the heart of the ever-booming Marda Loop, we’re also close to the hustle of 17th Avenue. If you’re looking for a nice weekend afternoon activity, you can stroll down the river walkway path system and then visit us for brunch or lunch (and maybe a Caesar or two). Please enjoy our free parking and Wi-Fi and our dog-friendly patio. Food always tastes better when you don’t have to pay for parking, doesn’t it?
Food was good, service was good etc etc but we will not be returning to this location sadly.
All my husband wanted was a nice sit down birthday drink with friends. He arrived at 9:50pm and parked where he has ALWAYS 🌟legally🌟 parked for years.
Free street parking starts at 10pm, this is a new sign? He noticed it AFTER …his car was towed, on his birthday with his parent’s gift inside.
Downtown businesses ALWAYS complain about patronage etc etc but the Calgary Parking Authority and their predatory practices make it difficult for us suburb folks to go into the city for a couple of hours.
Perhaps Original Joe’s can pressure the city to ease up the parking around their establishment…and encourage other businesses to do the same?
This is now going to cost us half or MORE of a days pay to recover our vehicle but +$300 or more in fines. There goes our entertainment budget for May, June AND July… money IS tight.
Honestly, anything after 7-8pm around restaurants should be allowed if the city wants ppl to support business, especially on WEEKNIGHTS!!!

This is a classic for us. always great service. Happy hour is excellent. Even when busy, it's one of the few places around that you can have a great meal, enjoy a Guinness and still are able to have a conversation with friends as they don't crank the music so loud like so many other places so you can actually your time with your friends without having to be hunched over like you are all in a huddle to try to hear eachother! Just a great place to chill actually. in fact we were there twice over the last few weeks and will always choose to!
