Original Joe’s is a place that welcomes everyone. We have craveable classics for lunch or dinner, down-to-earth vibes and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! OJ’s Brandon is situated by many amenities on 18th Street. We have the Keystone Center, which is the home of our popular WHL hockey team, Brandon Wheat Kings. The University of Brandon is close by as is Landmark Cinemas. You can enjoy the classic date night of dinner and a movie! Plus, we’re a short drive away from the scenic Wheat City Golf Course. Join us before or after your tee time (or BOTH! Twice daily happy hour, ya’ know). Our patio is one of the best in town, but don’t just take our word for it—you and your pup can come to see for yourselves!

This was the absolute worst burger I’ve ever had!! I don’t know what the meat was supposed to be but it didn’t taste anything like beef. The lettuce in my salad was rusty with a very small amount. I will not return!!

My favorite meal at OJ's was the beef dip, but over the last couple of years they are now not even worth ordering. They've replaced half of the sliced beef with ton's of sautéed onions and it's disgusting. The manager came over and said, "we've had these complaints before and I'll talk to the cooking staff" It's as thought the cooks have complete control over junky food while management is only allowed to talk to them about it. Anyway, my last beef dip is ordered at OJ's. At $24 for a beef dip it should at least have some meat in it.
