- EFEmma FortierJul 1, 20265.0Came in for Canada Day and Dani was SO AMAZING!!!! Incredibly attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. When I come in, I WILL be asking for her. The food and drinks were also immaculate.
- LBLuke BattistellaJun 28, 20261.0Genuinely one of the worst dining experiences I have ever had. The restaurant was completely empty and we still waited 35 minutes for our food. The food came out cold and dried out. My friend found a hair in his food and wasn’t even offered a discount. Never eating here again.
- DKDavid KingJun 25, 20265.0Visiting Calgary for a week, tried Original Joe's for dinner. We were not disappointed. Atmosphere was fun and casual, food was really good, portions were large and priced reasonably. Our server Kailyn was fantastic. She was fun, outgoing and really sweet. On her recommendation, we even got a piece of Key Lime pie to go. When we're back in Calgary, we'll definitely visit again.
- TTTAJun 14, 20261.0Long time to get my order because of the waitre carelessness, as he has no comprehension and needs to be reminded. I can't tell how he is talking with people,unprofessional worker at all, very hussy and disrespectful in dealing with the costumers. Moreover, their hygiene is a big concern, especially the Glasses were reused without proper cleaning. Can't believe it. I think the owner should think seriously in the employees qualifications, especially the etiquette and communication skills with the people. Overall, I don't recommend this restaurant in such conditions.
- FWFem WhistleblowerJun 14, 20262.0Mixed feelings about this place. The ladies working today were nice when I came in and ordered. I had 2 wines & an appi. I was by myself. Everything was decent. The food def was over priced and small but I expect to be taken advantage of by most businesses these days. When I got my bill that is when my server showed her true colors. I paid 18% tip on a 34$ meal by myself. I was there for 1 hour in an empty pub and she had the nerve to "fake" chat me up like she cared about my day when the tip was coming. Wasn't interested in my life b4 the bill. I saw through the fakeness and gave her a tip well above what was necessary. Being forced into expected tipping culture is pure corporate greed, but then getting attitude because an 18% tip wasn’t high enough is just entitled and gross. I will never be back
