1801 Princeton Highway #203, Kamloops, BC V2E 2J7, Canada
Original Joe’s is a place that welcomes everyone. We have craveable classics, down-to-earth vibes and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! We love our location in Kamloops. We’re close to multiple hotels and a major highway, so travellers and locals alike can conveniently stop in for a drink at the patio with the best view in town. If you need to go shopping, we’re very close to Aberdeen Mall. Join us for brunch before strolling through the stores! Students of Thompson Rivers University can come for a quick snack in between classes during our early happy hour. We have a great menu full of choices for all tastes and don’t forget, many of our dishes come with two sides. We’ll see you soon!
Honestly my experience was terrible, I used to love this place growing up and I decided to have my birthday dinner there. I called for a reservation 5 days in advanced for 8 people and made sure I called in advance since it would be placed on a Saturday but when I got there they said I didn’t have any reservation. I also had a feeling they would forget about us because the last couple times I’ve been there the service is worse and worse. They proceeded to seat us only for us to have to wait 20 minutes for a server to even come by. I decided to go to a different restaurant and I’m glad I did because that was SUPER disappointing.
Ordered a Nashville burger 🍔 hoping that it would be spicy with all the taste but sadly it's not even average. Though the chicken was cooked nicely and juicy but there was no taste in that burger.
My boyfriend had a chicken bone in his chicken quesidilla and received a 50 % discount because of it. The French fries tasted like the oil needed to be changed in the kitchen.
Gluten free burger was excellent, fries looked like McCains and were blah and prepackaged gravy. For that price I would expect a better quality. Slow to receive though, no followup check on quality (serving 101) My main two issues were/are: The "music" you play in a eating establishment is to enhance the experience for your diners people. The auto tuned pop garbage was only enjoyed by the 20 yr old diners, oh wait.....there were none! Secondly; 22% as first choice on tip screen? Ridiculous.
Unbelievable! It has been almost a year since my last Original Joes visit. And it is clear that no matter the location, overall it is terrible. I have never actually left chicken wings on my plate but I simply could not eat them, so overcooked! Maybe that explains why it took nearly an hour to get the food served! The best place for Original Joes to be is in receivership and by the way things are going, that should be soon.
Typical bar food. Went here one day after a long drive and was welcomed to a causal atmosphere and friendly staff. Unfortunately, my chicken burger was rather bland and had way too much sauce. Onion rings were soggy, however the fries were quite good. Prices were pretty average, ranging from $17-$24 for an entree. Not a horrible option however there are definitely better options in the area.
The restaurant had a great service and amazing customer service. Every customer comes in attended accordingly. Chad was a great water who can manage interacting and follow every customer he renders services .. amazing place to dine in either small or big meals. Very spacious and clean area.
Great service, good food. The atmosphere was inviting and not overly loud. I was with a party of 7 and we could hear each other over the music and other customers. Ample parking and typical prices for this type of restaurant.
Food was fantastic, service was great. Thank you for a great meal!
A little bit busy But cozy atmosphere Food
Parking: 20+ Food
Brittany was so fun friendly attentive professional. Great service great great food great atmosphere. Will be back.
We had a great experience. We had a large group and we booked in ahead of time and preordered. Our table was ready and the servers were awesome!
Two weekends in a row with two different volleyball teams and all their parents and OJ s was exceptional. Thank you James we will definitely be back
We always feel welcomed by the staff at Original Joes and have a great dining experience!
Great food great service! Lorne was excellent!
Lorne was a great server.
Great services for a team and waiter was great
It was great, and our server was absolutely amazing!!
Amazing night! Server was amazing and made our moms 70th birthday memorable!
Great place to eat with great food. The only thing I wish they would change is making their breakfast sandwiches available for takeout. This place has one of the best breakfast sandwichs in Kamloops, but I dont understand why you cant purchase them for takeout when you can with a burger.
20 minutes since the first person at the table got there food and service is bad
Slow service, melted drinks, and denial of having a beer we could see in the fridge. We had a group of 6. 3 of us got one drink with a meal, no drinks before this either. Our drinks came after our food was served. Melted margaritas were a weird purple grey colour. Food came by two plates at a time. At least 15-20mins between the first person getting their food to the last person. As a table we did see her serving small tables that came to the restaurant after us their orders before us. She did this with at least 3 tables. The food was good, just bad service.
Been coming to Original Joes after work for awhile now. Have to say that Kayla is by far the best waitress from any pub Ive ever been too!!!! Thank you for making us feel welcome every time!!! Such a joy to be around!!! Positive attitude always!!!!
Best appies in town , delicious food , amazing service.
Waitress, atmosphere were great. All around good restaurant for a friendly outing. Good job folks. Vegetarian options: 1 person was a vegetarian which made it easier to dine out at your restaurant. Parking was adequate. The restaurant atmosphere and service was excellent. The gal serving our table was friendly and professional.
Good food and excellent service
Not impressed. Haven t been for over a year thought to give it another chance. Big mistake. 2 things severs should be aware of. 1) Your hair should be tied back especially when it s hanging in my food as you bring it to the table. 2) Don t forget to bring the beverages that were ordered! Management should know that they should be on shift for the evenings during the weekend!!! Had there been a manager onsite I wouldn t be writing this review! Have you heard the saying when the cats away the mice will play?!?!?!? Maybe if there had been leadership there our drinks wouldn t have been forgotten due to the gossip session behind the bar! And after reading the reviews on here, clearly the manager doesn t read them they just make comments. I love the one where someone is praising the place and you apologize for the terrible experience! Keep this up and I can see this place as a distant memory!
Bad
Great food & excellent hospitality. Very enjoyable night. Thanks Original Joes staff & management.
Just really good sea food and plenty of it. Really delicious and service was excellent.
I had a pulled pork sandwich and found a piece of plastic in it. It was taken off my bill, thank you, but I had only eaten half of my meal and wasn t offered another one. I was still hungry. My husband was looking forward to a juicy burger but was very disappointed that the double patty was as big as 1 patty and tasted like it was sitting there all day. Our anniversary dinner was a huge letdown.
Always good. They have quite a few gluten free options. Its a $2 up charge for the burger buns. But it tastes better than most.
Gave originals joes a second chance. Was given a 50 dollar gift card. Food was excellent this time, the service was above and beyond. Will definitely go back again!
Not for me
I cant say enough about this original Joes in Kamloops. Not every OJs is created equal. This one has great, attentive staff. The food came out quickly, was well proportioned, and tasted great. Two thumbs up!
Lovely food and plenty of it. Our server was lovely and very attentive. Will be returning in the not too distant future. Food : 4/5
Food is good, value is good..
The food was prepared well and had excellent flavour. Multiple gluten-free options. Service was solid. Prices werent unreasonable, I felt they were a little high for the meal I ordered. I will definitely eat here again. I may need to bring a few friends with me next time to try the table nachos which sounds enormous. Dietary restrictions: Multiple gluten-free options Parking: Plenty of parking
Lovely place to eat at nicest people as well
Everything was great, they had the team and everyone elses food all ready for us. Well done all.
Been in the restaurant for over 15 minutes and no server has come over to us to ask what we want, no water, nothing! What a terrible place, almost feel discriminated in some way.
We come in often. We have 2 favourite servers, they make us feel so welcome, they know what we are going to have to drink and eat. If we aren t in their section they stop by and say hi! This kind of treatment is why we keep coming back, at times are food can be slow to come out due to them being busy, but because of these 2 servers it s not a big deal they make up for it. Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options Parking: Lots of parking
One of my favourite date nights in town. Good portions, decent prices, relaxing atmosphere and consistently good service! A good go to for my husband and I. :)
Went for lunch with our little one and only saw the waitress twice and restaurant wasn t busy. Food was under cooked and missing items. Not friendly. Seemed like because we had a kiddo with us they avoided our table. Would not recommend especially if you have kids..
Parking: Im giving three stars because the waitress was wearing very very jean shorts Food
Service was terrible, My waiter bugged me about my age and countlessly tried to bug me the few times he came to our table.
Absolutely awesome service by the gentleman who survived 5 of us ( Lauren ?). Food was amazing and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend by a foodie. Food
Ordered butter chicken but literally received rice with butter chicken sauce no chicken, how do you not put chicken in it like?
Decent. Service was good . Very busy but it was managed well. Food was OK ish . Shredded lettuce is better left for a Big Mac. Not a restaurant signature burger. The dry ribs arent what youd expect. But pretty good anyways
Professional services & polite Our waitress was awesome 3rd time Everytime was Professional Food : 5/5 |
Really friendly place. Great food, great staff great beers.
Appies with friends!
Restaurant was about half full, got served quickly with drinks. All pop was flat when arrived. Food was great even though it came out not as ordered. No time to replace as we had exit room booked. May return someday but not anytime soon.
Close to home for me. Good food, beer and company always makes it a good time. Service is pleasant and attentive.
I dont think these guys are used to having a lot of people in the restaurant because it was about half full and they all seemed very stressed out. Also the nachos came out cold for some reason even though we had been waiting for about 45 minutes. The cheese wasnt even melted in the middle so theres just a pile of shredded cheese. Not sure if they were just understaffed or not expecting a lunch rush. It also has a very Warehouse feel on the inside.
One of my favs in Kamloops. Joes has an excellent menu. I have heard the burgers are awesome. If you like pasta have the bruschetta chicken pasta! It is wonderful. Very large serving and delicious. 10 stars
Food was so-so. Pretty pricey for what I got. Service was not so good. WItress seemed to only come by our table if we waved her down, then took a good long while to get what we were asking for. (Drinks, straws, cutlery, etc.) Not a place that will pop up very often in my mind when we think of places to eat out.
Extremely disappointed in the way we were greeted and turned away. The hostess shouted as us, even though there were empty tables we were not welcome to sit down. Told the kitchen was busy with skip the dishes orders. Unwilling to accept reservations either. So our party left and went elsewhere, where we were warming welcomed and accepted.
Service and food have really moved up ! Little background music would be nice otherwise awesome
Was my first time there had a fantastic experience. Food was good portions were good, and our server was on point.
Updated: we decided to give OJ s another chance. Visited again for lunch weekday. Was fairly quiet but we were greeted, seated and order taken quickly. Food arrived in an acceptable amount of time - not super quick but I know universally businesses have staffing shortages. We both had burgers. Fries were hot and the grilled cheese burger in particular was excellent as per my partner. Glad we went again. Place was very quiet for a Saturday -could have been a sign - but we waited at least half an hour for our food. When it arrived the fries were all lukewarrm, overcooked and lots of burnt ends. The burgers are much smaller than before and I paid extra for a couple little slices of red onion. My daughter had poutine that was also almost cold and very forgettable. Really not thinking we will go back. Very disappointing.
Had a great waitress well definitely go back
We were acknowledged as soon as we got in the door. Our server came over right away to get us a drink and tell us what the special was. We ordered the crispy chicken burger and it was very good. The Manager Shawn has done a great job replacing some of the staff, they were all very happy and pleasant. Will go again for sure.
Showed up 3 minutes before they said order would be ready. Order took an extra 15 minutes to be ready. Got the families order back to the hotel and 1) they completely forgot the sweet potatoe fries we ordered and paid for. But somehow remembered the chipotle dip and 2) we ordered a full caesar salad and only received a tiny side order one. Food was not hot either which is interesting, considering it was so late. Overall, paid almost $12 for food we did not receive and had to stand around an extra 15 minutes for it. Important to note, that our hotel was across the street, so no reason for the food to have been luke warm. And we were not given any cutlery or napkins either. Pretty irritated.
Great service friendly staff and awesome food. Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free options Food : 5/5 |
Excellent fish tacos! The apple cider on tap was delicious! Would ve taken pics first but I was pretty thirsty and hungry!
The prices are too high for how small their portions are. I ordered a wrap that comes with 2 sides for $20. For the sides I got fries and a caesar salad. The wrap was decent. But the sides are debatable. I only got about 10 fries, and the caesar was only 2 small bites of lettuce and 6 enormous croutons. My husband ordered a rice bowl.. Also a $20 dish. The amount given would have been enough for a young child. Not for an adult. Ive honestly never seen a rice bowl so small. We mostly likely wont be going here again any time soon. We can go to other restaurants for the same thing, better quality, bigger amounts, for less. Vegetarian options: Yes they have vegetarian options... but not a whole lot. Parking: Just enough parking spots but its in a strip mall so its shared. Kid-friendliness: Yes and no. I wouldnt bring my under 10year old here. Wheelchair accessibility: Definately not wheel chair accessible. Everything is so close together and the tables are way too high.
Beware of this restaurant! Had dinner there two nights ago while we had an over night stop in Kamloops. My son, myself and husband all got some form of food poisoning symptoms (I won t go into deal) after eating at this location. Which is such a shame because I have never had problems at the location on south Vancouver Island and we only went there to use up a gift card.
Place was closed 3 hours earlier than advertised on a Friday night. 9pm is lame for a weekend . always wondered why a nice establishment that s fairly new and right off the highway next to all these hotels is always empty. The tiny portions don t help and being short staffed in 2023 is pretty weak on management. All the other local owned places are 10 times busier. Surprised this place is still in business to be honest.lotsa potential
Terrible experience. Went there on a Saturday night around 7:45 with 6 friends. As we arrived the dinner rush was leaving. We sat down and ordered our food. During our wait the atmosphere was ruined by the 2 unattended children running through the booths and screaming, disrupting ourselves and other guests. After about an hour of waiting, our server told us our food would be a few minutes. Another 20 minutes later our food came, but the orders were all messed up and most of the food was cold. My one friend ordered fries and was given a burger with 2 salads. When it came time to pay, the server tried to charge her for the burger before changing her mind and comping her meal (fries). As for the rest of us, no dessert service was offered, no attempt to discount or comp any items and we were all charged full price after waiting an hour and 20 minutes for mostly cold food. Very disappointed especially with the cost of eating out going up, expected much better.
Lovely staff, nice venue. Food was a bit of a mixed bag. Burger and steak were lovely, fries werent great.
Almost $15 for dry ribs. Portion was exceedingly tiny. Would post picture if allowed. Service was good and food tasty, but not worth the value.
We go quite often, the staff always remember us and are super friendly!! My cosmo seems to mix itself up and magically appear *grin* food is always good, best fish n chips anywhere!! luv the lobster bisque soup when its available and my husband inhales the cheeseburgers :) service is always great!! Thks ladies :)
Great wings and friendly service
We went two hours before closing and the food was great, but the fries were cold. Waitress brought us so much extra fries that were just deep fried twice, we could hardly finish them. Go earlier for hot fries. Table was clean but a empty beer can was left inside the eight foot table from previous customer.
The food is sooooo good!
Good choice of food, helpful staff, especially for a couple of Brits who needed a bit of help lol Vegetarian options: Wife is vegetarian so was pleased she had a choice!
Perhaps you shouldn t let your kitchen staff drink cans of PBR while they sit on the sidewalk outside the employee entrance. Not the best look eh.
Popped in for a quick bite around 9pm. Staff seemed distracted had toask for cutlery twice and similar for another drink.
Never got to try the food because the server never came back after seating us.
Good food and drinks
Food was cold and was also pre-cooked; previously frozen. Lackluster all around and would not eat there again.
Terrible service from the start. We asked for a window seat so we could watch our bikes, the hostess obviously didn t like this. Then we waited and waited to get served. Finally we got our food ordered. Food did not come as ordered. We had a nut allergy and there were walnuts still on the salad. We ended up still getting billed for the salad. Took forever to get payment settled. Not sure if this is a new restaurant or new staff but they really need to get organized.
Went last night for appies and a couple of beers. Ordered the hot wings. Worst wings that I have had in a long time. Looked ok but after a couple bites realized that they were prepared by someone who obviously didn t care about what kind of product they sent out of the kitchen. Soggy skin and rubbery texture. How hard is it to cook delicious flavourful wings? Paid almost $18 for them ate 2 and the waitress actually asked me if I wanted to take the rest home lol. Definitely won t be back!
Management and chefs handled my friends allergies with professionalism and compassion. Shes alive to tell the tale!
Service was non existent, we didn t get our drinks until after we were finished our food and the bartender was so unpleasant and rude. Use to be our favourite place, this is the second time we ve come in the past few months and it s gone downhill completely. All the waitresses were just standing around talking and barley checked on any of their tables- another good restaurant gone
I like OJs for its food, service and consistency. This one is no different. Thanks for a nice meal and excellent service!
Ordered from Uber eats and they cancelled my order 20 mins after receiving it. Id give minus if I could
It was good. Good food, good service. Nothing is cheap anymore but I guess thats the world now. We will go back. Oh! One thing! Get longer straws! They fall in the glass and you have to dig them out!
The food at this Original Joe s came out fast, but not for a lack of quality. I ordered a chicken burger. It s delicious juices mixed with the freshly breaded chicken breast and fresh toppings made for an exquisite dining experience. The one limiting factor however was the fries, they had somewhat soggy texture to them. Ultimately I would come to this establishment if you are looking for a casual restaurant with good food/environment.
Good restaurant for quick lunch
Had a delicious lunch, definitely recommend ordering the chicken burger if you get the chance!
Am Aussie. Went after all day bus ride. Menu looked good. Ordered drinks and food. After 45 minutes waitress came and said they had lost our order. Very apologetic could we order again. Ordered again waited over 30 minutes and called waitress and said if not ready now we would like bill. No bill, no food. Went to counter and paid for drinks. Waitress again very apologetic.
Had the chicken wrap and salad, Friend ,had burger- fries/ salad, Along with dessert... Very awesome waitress. And tonight, not packed in like sardines... Good visit with friend, without having to overtalk loudness , and music.
First and last time eating here, after a long drive from Vancouver I was super hungry . I had the Original Joe burger and onion rings. Both dishes were overcooked and bland with the burger being very dry, the place was empty and the service people just standing around . My daughter had a Joes Soda which she took one sip and sent it back ,My meal was definitely not worth the $23 .
Good food, and good service
Best fish tacos..ever!
Friendly staff, great food and drinks. Definitely upholding the OJ rep at this location.
Got food poisoning from their beef dip there tonight, never been so sick in my life.
I have had one awesome experience here this year, and one bad one. Good = atmosphere, sports on TV, and vegetarian options. Bad = the second time I went, my quesadilla came with meat when I asked for no meat, even after the server confirmed that she understood I didn t want the meat. They remade it but I didn t get to enjoy my meal with my company. We were still charged for half of the quesadilla meal.
Food was great but portions were big. We could not finish our meals. Prices were good too.
The Kona was definitely one of the best burgers Ive had in years. Well worth the few dollars more over a fast food burger. Real pattie that doesnt taste mass produced. Just the right amount of sauces. My father had the steak sandwich and says its also was extremely satisfying. Cooked right, with good options for sides. Service was done right. Attentive and friendly, but not hovering,
Kid-friendliness: Kid s macaroni was a hit. He s still talking about it 2 weeks later. Food
Simone greeted us and served us as well great service and we enjoyed our meals
Always love going to original Joes. Great service, great atmosphere, and great food.
Great food. Great atmosphere. The challenge is going alone and not ordering alcohol. You do that you will never get good service.
We enjoyed a quiet meal on a Monday evening. Food was good. Slow to arrive - but we were not in a hurry. Pleasant server.
Dragon Boat Lettuce Wraps were Delicious!
Highly recommended!
The worst cutomer service ever. The manager doesnt know how to treat or speak to customers. Very petty mindset. Do not recommend to anyone.. worst restaurant ever!!
Awesome food and clean atmosphere great service and reasonable prices.
We were considering having lunch here as the menu looked decent (also considering gf options) although the large amount of repetitious reviews stating poor management, terrible service, long wait times even outside of rush hours and multiple errors on bills and food orders steered us away. Sounds like the employees are tired of the management and tend to not care anymore. Perhaps its time for a full replacement of management. Thanks to the other reviewers for saving us time/money/frustration! Props to the waiters/waitresses for trying.
Although the server was friendly, the charges for certain foods was way too high, a single small slice of garlic bread was $2.50 , the soup was ok but not worth the $2.50 charge extra for a small cup. The buffalo chicken wrap was good. The price for that was reasonable,just missed the fact that they charged extra for the soup. This was my error . Others in my party did not enjoy the French onion soup.
Fairly standard food options with fairly standard flavours. Id like to try more of the menu. I dont expect exciting flavours or options here, but if thats what youre looking for then this is a great place! The food is satisfying and filling and enjoyable, and the service is good! Great quality restaurant!
Get the Brussels sprouts, seriously
Friendly staff and great vegan options. Their children soy burgers are amazing.
Manager and most staff seemed to be preoccupied with things other than work and the food merely approaches mediocre.
Good experience while in town for business.
Friendly staff, follows all covid requirements and food was excellent. Bartender was really nice and we talked for hours. Chad and his wife are all stars
This was a pretty average chain restaurant. Good if you want a burger and chips but thats pretty much all they do just called different things.
Wasnt busy and was completely forgotten about. Disappointed it takes an hour to fill an order with 2 burgers. wont be back
The Brussel sprouts appy here is my favorite! I will literally go just for them.
Ordered our favourite for pick up tonight! I completely understand when restaurants are having a busy night, no worries at all, but I was waiting for my food for a good 20ish minutes and by the time I got home (I live under 10mins away) it was cold and the meat was dry when I went to eat it! Not worth the money tonight :(
Food was great!! Best French Onion soup
Always a good time!
Super nice waitresses and food was good. I went here a couple of times when I was in kamloops. It was super close to my hotel.
Servers are lovely. The male bartender today is so loud. Too loud.
Nice layout, clean. Very slow service.
Absolutely horrible. What a disappointment. Ordered the Dynamite Tempura Shrimp, Dragon Boat Lettuce Wraps, A.C.E Burger and Beef Dip. The food took forever to arrive, was cold and had a hair in my girlfriends Dynamite Tempura . When politely asked about it, the female manager, Casey, came over and was nothing but rude and belligerent to both of us. We will never go back there.
Staff are so friendly and genuine. Not just there for a tip and a pay cheque. One small issue with one out of the 4 meals and the manager went above and beyond for us. Will be back again :)
PROS: Friendly and efficient waitress Nice location with view over Kelowna My soup was complimentary as the kitchen screwed up my calamari order. CONS: Acoustics are terrible, it is very loud in the restaurant OVERAL IMPRESSION It s a nice restaurant if you don t mind the noise level. Some sound baffles would help. A large patio is available as well.
Food and atmosphere was great
Let me start by saying that our waitress was PHENOMENAL but every other part of the experience today was horrendous. They have Vegan options on their menu. However I was informed they aren t actually Vegan, because they don t know what s in their buns. Okay, get a lettuce wrap - no big deal. When the food comes, there is cheese on the salad, ranch with the fries, cheese and mayo on the burger, and half the other ingredients on the burger are missing. When I explain that if they don t have options they KNOW are Vegan they should not be labeled as such. The manager immediately became aggressive and defensive. Well that s not my decision. I worked at browns for 3 years. You should know we don t guarantee anything being free of allergens. I will NEVER go back there. Worst experience ever. It s 2022, step it up. Educate yourself. Not to mention the long wait times between service, dirty cutlery, and floaters in the beers.
I am so very, very impressed with how Chad and Kayla have transformed the Kamloops Original Joe!! I LOVE it! The atmosphere flows, harmonious . Hard to describe but totally amazing!! The staff are awesome!! I WANT to be here!! I will be bringing my friends here!! A business really is about people!! And they ARE that.
Rude staff, long wait times. Go anywhere else
Food was really good. Fast and friendly service. They have a pretty good kids menu with a variety of main and side choices.
Had a great experience at Original Joe s tonight. There was a bit of a wait but it was worth it as food was great and our server, Maddy, was courteous, good at her job and made us feel very welcome.
Pretty decent food and drinks. Service was good but not great. Close to my hotel so it was convenient. Has the beef dip sandwich with salad and roasted pepper soup. Soup was tasty. Sandwich was pretty dry and lacked seasoning, so it was a bit bland but it did the job.
Excellent service and friendly staff Parking: Got parked close to the door
I am very unhappy with my experience. After a long day of driving I was looking forward to a nice meal. We ended up having stuff missing from our orders and, as I ordered takeout, they did not give us any napkins or forks and knives.. Hard to eat coleslaw with your hands .Very disappointing, especially after a long day. Won t come back to this location.
Manager was rude server was clueless took over 45 mins to get drinks took longer for food and were told what do you expect when you come in near closing time would not recommend this location to anyone
Great appies
Food was good as was the service and the kitchen doesnt speak anymore! thanks!
Good food and friendly service
Placed a take out order on Saturday and the website said my good would be ready in 1 hour 15 mins. I arrived to pickup my food and it was not ready I was told it would be ready soon. I have a seat and had to ask multiple times for an update on my order and had to wait an additional 30 mins before I got my food..only to get outside and notice I was missing items. I went back in and asked for a manager. I was very upset that after 2 hours they could not get my order correct. I was told the manager had gone home for the night but the staff would get them to call me the following day. I get home to have our food cold and order was still incorrect. The following day I did not receive a phone call from the manager. I will not be returning as this is not the first time Ive had an issue with my orders here. Very disappointed to have spent 80$ on dinner, have to wait 2 hours, have items missing and incorrect and not even an apology from management.
Went early they are still experiencing short staffing but food was good and service was more than adequate. Dietary restrictions: My wife has a garlic allergy and the staff were conscientious about ingredients in their dishes.
Top notch wings, great burgers, coldest beer in kamloops. Great service.
We ordered Dry Ribs and Chicken Wings through Skip the Dishes on Saturday night for late night snacks, and we were disappointed with the portion size. We paid $15.50 for Dry Ribs and $17.25 for Chicken Wings. I honestly felt the portions were not reasonable, I just wonder if Original Joes or other customers think its a reasonable portion size. I gave 2 starts coz they taste good.
Food and atmosphere was amazing. I got the pulled pork poutine and I was pleasantly surprised. Its a bit more costly but definitely really good good and the servers were fantastic. My uncle is a Vegan and they were very helpful and courteous to option in regards to his diet as well. Vegetarian options: They had amazing vegan options, and were very helpful to figure out the best options and what tasted the best. I was very impressed with the service in regards to vegan options as well as not.
Very awesome place! Good service and good food :) wish there was more on the menu, but with COVID I understand.
The service, drinks and gyozas were good, but the main courses was not so great.
Food was amazing, but I would honestly never go here again based on the service. I went here tonight with a group of friends and the restaurant was basically empty. It took over 10 minutes for a waitress to acknowledge that we were there. Drinks took another 10 or more for us to get them and they were horrible at checking to see if we needed anything. Food 10/10. Service 0/10.
20 bucks for a soggy breaded burger with a piddly amount of fries and salad? And it takes 45 minuets? Mcdonalds stomps this place. Booooooo. Boo.
Service was excellent and all the meals were very well made. Looking forward to my next visit.
Great service, great food!!
Both the food and service were excellent. I will return.
Good food, friendly service, just a few things not correct with our order. Very quick at rectifying though.
Very cool atmosphere and good food. Take out was great tasting and hot. Cant wait to go back
Good food and service but I would love if you guys would either get booster seats or a high chair. I was surprised you didnt have one when I went yesterday.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent!
Food was pretty good. The place was packed. We had reservations for 5 people so there was no waiting in line for us.
Yesterday we decided to go to Joes. Upon entering the establishment we showed our Covid pass. Well you wont believe what had happened, as i showed her my Pass she just said OK and proceeded to show us to our table. I said to her ,this is not following protocol and you really are not taking this very seriously, thanks but we are out of here. I have been a customer for many years. This just blows me away. We will never visit again. also we are thinking of filing a report. HAVE A NICE DAY ANOTHER ONE BIT THE DUST
Its not the best, but itll do in a pinch
Great
Brutal service. Ive honestly never experienced this before. We were seated for more than 20 minutes and no came to our table or even acknowledged us. A waitress served food to the table beside us (and I mean RIGHT beside us, like 18 inches between our elbows) and even returned to that table twice without even making eye contact with us. The restaurant was less than half full and the wait staff had time to chat beside the computer so didnt appear to be busy. We got up and left. We wouldnt have minded slow service, but no service? Brutal.
Had dinner here for my birthday due to another place not correctly doing our reservation. I really enjoyed the burger I had and the craft beer was really good. There was 3 of us and I would have to say for 3 dinners and drinks we had the tab was very reasonable. Defiantly will be eating here again.
Went here on Saturday night at around 4:45 pm in an effort to beat the rush. We were seated with our menus (party of 3). We looked at the menu and decided what we wanted to order. We waited 20 additional minutes past the 5 minutes plus we browsed the menu and did not receive a visit from our server to order drinks or ask if we were ready to order. Capacity was less then 30 percent and we had a couple servers pass our table a few times. We left and went to another nearby restaurant we frequent on a weekly basis with much delight. The phrase comes to mind why change a good thing. We will not attempt another visit to this location or give positive recommendations although we have eaten at other Original Joes establishments with enjoyment. The lower 3.9 rating compared to other restaurants in the area and high number of negative reviews should have been the heads up.
Great food.
