    The service at this location is wonderful! Had a small issue with one meal (out of the dozens we’ve had over the years) and Paul the GM was very quick to get things resolved for us. I will always reccomend!

    First off, I didn't get pictures as I forgot my phone in the truck. This was at Original Joe's on 51st street in Saskatoon on Saturday Dec 27th 11:20am My wife and I ordered a burger and a chicken sandwich, each come with 2 sides. We ordered fries and I had a garden salad, where my wife ordered the caesar for $1 more. I had a coffee and my wife had an iced tea. The main meals were good, however the lettuce was severely wilted and red from rust. Obviously they have been in the buspan for a bit. Upon flagging the server over to tell her, she asked if we wanted another salad, to which I replied " I imagine it will come from the same bin, so no thank you". She didn't apologize or offer anything else; more fries, veggies....nothing. When the bill came, she said she took the coffee I had off and the extra $1 for the caesar. Well, I would assume the caesar would come off seeing we didn't get to eat it lol. So we each got 2/3 of our meals and saved $3.50 on a $60 check. It sucks because we didn't want anything free, but it's getting harder and harder to want to go out to eat when you get served sub-par food that you pay top dollar for. Very few restaurants seem to care about you experience until you open up about it and they get mad. Service was not friendly after we said simething and sometimes that makes or breaks an experience for sure. Il take my money elsewhere next time.

    One of my favorite places to meet my friend. Food good, service good, though I miss Courtney's sarcasm. Maybe have Courtney train staff on the joy of Sarcasm.

    Pictures are done when I already ate few. It’s my first time coming in this restaurant, and we never were able to eat cause we’re already running out of time and we needed to go back to the office. I feel like, my food was never served properly. Not sure because I was the only asian among the group. Fries look like leftover fries.. good fries only given to white folks 😆 and the coleslaw is so bad.. it’s a very bad experience. I will never come back here again. If only I saw my food while I was still in the restaurant, I would have returned it. I paid right, I should be treated right as well.
