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! Our OJ’s is located in the Uplands subdivision of Lethbridge and has been a part of North Lethbridge for over 15 years. We’re lucky to be a short drive away from Legacy Park, Softball Valley, the Lethbridge Sports Park and the Lethbridge Industrial Area. There’s no shortage of entertainment, here! You can order pick up and delivery, or bring along your pup and enjoy a meal on our dog-friendly patio. If you’re a brunch-fanatic, we offer a nice selection on weekends. Coffee & Baileys, anyone?
The food was absolutely delicious. Love the cinnamon bun cheesecake. Kennedy was a wonderful server.
This has always been our go to spot for dates and anniversaries and today when we showed up our server Kennedy just made it all the better for our experience. She is sweet on top of everything and quite attentive. Thank you for making another one of our years together a great time. Also cute christmas lights.
Food was quick and delicious! Portions were absolutely massive. Our waitress Bambi was outstanding!! She was very attentive, never left our cups empty and was super social with us. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!! 10/10
I wanted to share our disappointing experience at a restaurant in Lethbridge, which was my first visit. This small establishment, crammed with stools, was uncomfortable from the start. We ordered several dishes, but surprisingly, the only one that arrived was the calamari. This left me awkwardly eating while my partner had to wait for his meal. After 30 minutes, with my partner needing to return to work, we inquired about our food. The host assured us it would be out shortly. However, after waiting 40 minutes with no sign of the rest of our order, we realized we had to leave. It was a truly frustrating experience. What stood out the most was the lack of accountability from the staff. Instead of offering an apology for the delay, the host kept asking if we wanted to take our food to go or insisted it would be ready soon. This was a far cry from the excellent service we've experienced at original Joe in BC. Due to this disappointing experience and the way customers are treated, my husband’s company has decided to stop bringing clients to this restaurant, which had been a convenient go-to location for them. Ps the calamari was 6 out of 10. Surprisingly it wasn't bad.
Stopped for a late supper when arriving to Lethbridge for dental surgery…was quite loud when we arrived around 7:00pm but got used to the noise quickly. Smaller venue and was quite busy when we arrived….Servive was exceptional and we had our drinks and order was placed quickly. Server paid attention at all times…food was incredible! There wasn’t any ToGo Boxes at all! Plates were c empty when we left. Highly recommend!
Came in with my husband and two other people, While at first the service was good it got worse as the night got more busy. My girlfriend ordered a drink, It was nearly 45 minutes before the server even brought it to her to which yes they did give it to her for free but that is still ridiculous, My dinner - My burger was SOOO over cooked and hard it was like a hockey puck, And my coleslaw was beyond disgusting i didn't even eat it. i normally do not write reviews and or complain but this was a goodbye dinner for my friends boyfriend as he was headed back to the USA and it was just extremely disappointing after knowing how good this establishment can actually be. Giving this a 2 star, for the fact everyone else's dinner was good except mine.
Food is always fantastic! Had the Chili lime chicken and calamari. 😋 Servers are great. Friendly and attentive. Don't know the name of my server (cute little blonde girl) but she did a great job. Friendly, quick, attentive and always with a smile. Love sitting out on the patio. Was there again for lunch today and had the West coast chop with chicken and shrimp. This one is delicious! Highly recommend. Was fortunate enough to have the same server as when I wrote the first review, and now know her name. Serina is a sweetheart. Friendly, upbeat, attentive and always smiling. Keep this girl, she seems like a great asset to your business. Thank you for another great lunch meal. 10/10!!😏
Came in tonight for my husbands 30th birthday. There was 11 of us including my two children. Food was amazing as usual besides my French onion soup was cold, but pretty sure because of the server. Our server on the other hand was very rude, barely ever checked on us, we had to go up to the bartender for a few drinks as she was standing at the table with her coworkers while they did crafts off shift . Our table sat dirty to the point we started stacking our stuff at the end of it in hopes she would grab them but she didn’t. She came up to us after and her words were ‘ I’ve been here for 9 hours so legally I can’t be here anymore so I need you guys to pay me’ Never once asked if we wanted anything else or even a kind ‘ hey I’m done my shift can yall clear up’. My husband said thank you when she finally brought him a beer & she said ‘ yup’ in a very rude tone . I ordered a ceaser from the bartender & paid for it to him & Chloe added it to my bill as well. If Chloe is working , we will be taking our business elsewhere. The other blonde lady (I wish I got her name as she has served us tons) & bartender were AMAZING . We come in for every birthday or special occasion but after tonight , we were very upset about the way our server treated us. She ruined my husbands 30th birthday with her attitude & terrible service .
Kennedi was our server and she killed it! Ten stars!
Came out with the girl had some burgers and some drinks the usual. Services kind of slow I love the atmosphere. I got the burger about 45 minutes later my stomach was turned Ive been puking since then all afternoon evening all night. Does make me sick thinking of what the possibilities are or improper handling whether it might be feces or improper storage. I didnt notice any of the meat being red or uncooked.
Morgan was fantastic!
Kennedi was an absolute sweetheart, the service was great, and the atmosphere was amazing as always.
Kennedi was an amazing host and server 10* out of 5. She deserves a massive bonus! We will be back!
Kennedi was excellent! Parking: What Food : 5/5 |

We always enjoy our time at Original Joe s!
OJs is my neighborhood pub, the service and food is excellent! Always on point!
We both ordered the steak and were happy with our meals
Definitely a good spot.
Best pub in town!
What a place! Great food, Atmosphere and the Service is top notch! Food
Can t say enough good things about Northside OJs. Been coming regularly for almost 10 years and the food has been consistently great each and every time. Serena, Cedar, Bambi, Lindsey, Linda and everyone else always take great care of us! Kid-friendliness: We ve brought our daughter here since she was only months old. She loves the food and OJs is her favorite place to go for dinner!
Perfect place to reward yourself after a long work
Our server was exceptional! Very knowledgeable and personable.
Our server kennedi was incredible!
Our server Bambi is always awesome, we love going for dinner when she s working! Always good service, friendly staff Food
That chicken burger is probably my favorite. Everything else is good, but the chicken burger is always a good go to!
Great service and good staff. Food, drinks reasonably priced and good specials.
Always a good time with good food
Nice neighborhood bar
The young lady that served us was awesome, and our food was fresh and hot. Great job people
Dinner was delicious had the beef dip and it never disappoints, had Nick as our server made great recommendations and awesome late night service! keep up the good work, will be back!
Our usual haunt good food great staff. Love this place
Nick is probably the best bartender ever, has great service and is a very cool guy!
Burger was absolutely amazing!!! Our waitress was very friendly and prompt. It made for a very nice night out. Thank you very much for such amazing food and atmosphere.
Food and service was great!
I frequent this place a lot with clients. If you want great fast service this is the place to go! I have never had a bad experience here since I ve been going. Awesome food and drinks.
Drove all the way from Kamloops yesterday. Got to town at 10pm, ordered take out, got back to my Airbnb and everything was wrong. I have food allergies and couldn t eat any of my food. Called and was told to come in the next day and pick up a gift card. Went back today and just asked for my order instead of a gift card. Was given my order, got back to my Airbnb and my order was wrong AGAIN!! I was also given a gift card with my order that is only valid for this store and I m leaving town first thing tomorrow morning so it s completely useless to me. 10/10 would not recommend.
**UPDATE: Management reached out to me to acknowledge my disappointment and I received a gift card to return. I am happy to say the second chance was much better. Server was very helpful and even caught a potential allergen in my food choice. I had the hamburger with a gluten free bun and I ate the whole bun. Usually it is a hit or miss with gf bread type foods but I enjoyed this one. Happy we gave them a second chance!** Server was ok. The salt and pepper wings tasted like vinegar and were so dry I couldn t finish the plate. Would not recommend them
Good beef dip, fries were not fresh and the salad greens were very limp but had an excellent dressing.
I loved OJs North Lethbridge. It s going to sound silly but the bathroom is so clean. The service is great and the food was amazing! Will be back for sure!
Great little restaurant!! Food is fantastic
We ordered 2 beef dips to pick up. When I checked the bag I said I thought sauces were missing. I was assured everything is there. We were short 1 gravy, 1 dill dip and had no au jus which is a pretty integral part of a beef dip. I phoned and was told we got the large size gravy and dill dip, which we did not. She said oh yea, we forgot to put it in when I mentioned the au jus. No apology. The sandwich was ok, fries were not hot so obviously cooked ahead of time. If I could take back the tip I would. This was our third time trying them. Three strikes and you re out!
Nice and good friendly staff
Grabbed a meal at this place, and I gotta admit, the food was tasty, like, Id definitely come back for more. And the atmosphere was chill, you know? Just a nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal.
Food is usually really good but it can be really loud. They tend to try to cover chatter with loud music.
Im never let down with a meal and drinks here!
We were with a large hockey team that had preplanned our meals. The service was amazing. Meals started coming out as soon as we arrived. Staff didnt appear to be overwhelmed whatsoever. One of the best team experiences at a restaurant that I have been part of. I would consider raises for the staff.
Only go for the fries and dill dip and thats where my work friends end up on Fridays
Pretty good food, the service is fine. Its a little loud for me, but thats a me problem, it is a bar so its expected.
Great food and reasonable prices. Awesome server. And pretty quick
My recent visit to Original Joe s in Lethbridge, Alberta, left me thoroughly impressed and eager to return. Meeting up with a friend, I indulged in their mouthwatering beef dip accompanied by truffle fries and a side salad. Let me just say, it was a culinary delight! The beef dip easily ranks as the second best in town, and the truffle fries were nothing short of phenomenal. Even the side salad was a refreshing burst of flavor. However, what truly elevated my experience was the exceptional service provided by our server, Tova. She was more than just a server; she was a genuine delight. Tova s attentiveness, honesty, and charming demeanor made the entire dining experience memorable. Its rare to come across a waitress who exudes such passion and joy in her work. Her dedication and genuine care for her customers truly shines through. To top it off, my beer was chilled to perfection, adding the perfect touch to an already delightful meal. Without a doubt, Tova was the real star of the show, and her outstanding service alone is reason enough for me to eagerly anticipate my next visit to Original Joe s. Kudos to Tova and the entire team for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable dining atmosphere. Original Joe s in Lethbridge is definitely a gem worth revisiting time and time again. Kid-friendliness: I came with a friend who had a four month old baby and they were so kind to her and so welcoming. It was such a treat to have Tova as our server.
The food was awesome. Some of the best in Lethbridge. A hidden gem, we will be back a lot! Fish & chips were the real deal & wonderful. The husband had a fettuccine dish that he loved. While our friend had the steak sandwich, which she said was great
I eat at OJs North Lethbridge quite often. ( weekly ) The meals are consistently above average, and the service is warm and friendly. Thank You for always making me feel welcome Bambi, you are awesome! Food
This is a favorite for my partner and I. Always amazing service and the food never disappoints! Great place to have dinner every night of the week . Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options
The Food is very well prepared here. We frequently eat at this location. Staff is pretty awesome as well.
Not a bad place to grab a bite to eat or have drinks with friends.
Great food, good service, and a decent price for everything. Definitely give the 3 cheese spinach dip a try while they have it, was delicious!
Dry ribs very over cooked.
Love that they give two sides with most meals.
Great food and cocktails. Really good vegetarian options. Vegetarian options: Soy chicken and impossible burger options Food : 5/5 |
Excellent and affordable meals! And the friendliest servers around. Thx for the wonderful meals and comfortable atmosphere. Well be coming back!
cold food. no problem- notify the waitress. tattood waitress turns back on me and walks away. talk to kitchen manager sitting at the bar. his buddy wants to fight me. would not recommend unless you are looking for cold food and a fight!
Kid-friendliness: Love bringing my kids in for brunch and hockey
Awesome atmosphere..very attentive staff and food was delicious. Highly recommend
We walked in a party of 6 with no reservations (our bad) on a Friday night. They were packed, and our waitress was able to get us a table almost immediately. We were celebrating a birthday and she made it special. Our drinks were never empty, the food was awesome, she even split a beef dip and overheard that one didnt like mushrooms so she had all plated only on one. She took care of us a few weeks ago same exceptional service, as well as yummy food.I think her name was Serena (sp) cute blonde with full sleeves....She deserves a raise, shes awesome! Thankyou for making our night perfect!!
Typical Friday evening, very busy but as usual Serena gives it all. Such a great server, she never misses a beat anytime we re in. She s like a ninja- she comes out of nowhere to offer refills or check in. Very personable and always offers a smile. Great service!
Love Original Joes. Nice atmosphere. Good music. Great service
I recently dined at Original Joes and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm and inviting hospitality that made me feel right at home. My appetizer, the chicken wings, were hands down some of the best I have ever had. The wings were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I always get the hot wings and they didnt disappoint. For my main course, I ordered the steak sandwich with fries and a Caesar salad. The sandwich was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. The fries were crispy and golden, while the Caesar salad was fresh and flavourful. To accompany my meal, I ordered a Grasshopper Ale by Big Rock Brewery. This beer was the perfect complement to my meal - smooth and easy to drink, with a refreshing taste that perfectly balanced out the rich flavours of my meal. Overall, my experience at Original Joes was nothing short of outstanding. The food, the drink, and the service all met my expectations, making for a great dining experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough!
It was very noisy
Great place for a first date.
Place doesnt allow minors after 8pm.
Love it here. Great food and service every time we go. Its always clean, inviting and the waitresses are always polite and super helpful.
I had a lettuce wrap and it was excellent. My wife had fish tacos and she highly recommends those.
Food was over cooked, tasted like burnt deep fryer oil, the summer dish with the crunchy noodles was aweful and the shirmp also had bad fryer oil taste, I ate verry little and took both my dishes to go as I didnt want to be rude and the server was verry nice, but I proceeded to throw them out when I got home as the food was inetible.
Food was great
Great service great food
Serena was an awesome waitress, fast & great at making drinks. Will be back:)
Emma was an amazing server
Kennedi was awesome
Jonas and Kennedi excellent attitudes, friendly. Makes you feel like a valued customer.
Comfortable atmosphere and good food!
Chloe is the best server ever, super quick and friendly the whole time! Ill be coming back just to see her!
I love this location. Came down to Lethbridge for a tournament with my family. All 4 of our meals were delicious. My server Chloe recommended the west chop salad I really enjoyed it, was dressed perfectly. Our server was smiley, had great menu knowledge and kept us smiling the whole time as well. Will choose this location if I m in town again! Thank you Chloe.
I had a great experience with my server Chloe! I believe that was her name. She was a short brunette beautiful girl who made my experience here great. One of my food items came out incorrect and she was quick to make things right! Will definitely be coming back if she s working
We had Emma as a server, she was amazing!! The food was great and the atmosphere was just perfect!!!
My husband and I were here for our anniversary. Our server Emma was amazing! Very kind and professional. As always the food was great as well.
Hayley is a wonderful server, and she always gets my order just right
Even if it was a tent outside, The STAFF make a place of business really great.. The servers, barkeep and kitchen staff must all be good cause the food was tasty, hot, and cooked to a tee..My throat never dry and served with a smile. Our server Kennedy was 15 of 10 across the board and made this visit worthy of a regular outing. I think the majority of the clientele while we were there are regulars and I see why. Parking: Joes is located in the strip mall around the Sobeys grocery store. Tons of parking to shop and stop for a bite.
a great place to enjoy your some comfortable food
Food portion is extremely disappointing!
Great food and service!
Always amazing food! Always great service!
Excellent place to come.
We went in Friday night 7pm with no reservation and they were able to seat us (a group of 20) together and the food and service were excellent.
Our waitress was the best. Food was awesome.food came to table hot and fast. We will definitely be back again.
OJs has been my go to since I moved to bridge city. Food is great and I always look to sit in Chloes section. Takes the time to make you feel valued!
Always a great place to go for lunch or supper. Friendly staff and fast service. Chloe was our waitress and she was very friendly and excellent service.
Chloe has the best customer service that I have seen in the restaurant business. She has great character and met all my needs. Was very fast and efficient. Go see her at Original joes.
Very friendly and personable staff. My friends and I went to this spot for drinks and some burgers. We had a great time, and the servers were pleasant overall.
The food was great and our waitress was awesome. So friendly, efficient and very attentive. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Kim
Always good! Have never left without being fully satisfied. Great staff!
Very good service and great waitress and excellent food
Good food. Great service and reasonable prices.
Had the Hulaburger and it was great. The side salad was fresh and awesome along with the fries and dill dip. You can never go wrong with the fries and dill dip at OJs.
Good food, reasonable prices, casual dining. Great selection of beer, wine, cocktails. Staff is friendly and helpful
Great atmosphere and service. Food was good. Margarita special was awful Tons of salt on the rim. Very bitter margarita mix.
Unfortunately we had ordered some food out and its overcooked and smells like fish. I am really upset because this is all I was craving.
Ordered takeout for me and my partner, we ordered the original joe s dry ribs and and an order of fries. The fries were great but the ribs were terribly over done and smelled of fish. Upon eating the ribs they also tasted like fish. I understand that cross contamination happens ( though it really shouldn t as that is definitely a cause for concern for those with allergies) but this was beyond using the same tongs or maybe the same cutting board.
Food was great, music a little too loud for my liking, but tolerable
The server was fantastic. She was swamped and on her own for over 15 tables but kept up. Didnt miss a beat and had a smile on her face. I believe her name was Cedar? Well done.
My partner and I came in for a late dinner after a busy day (he s recently moved to the area). OJ s definitely seemed to be an established locale in the neighborhood, about 70% full upon a 7:30 arrival. Good to see restaurants thriving. We were told to select a table of our choosing, so we picked patio. Upon reaching our table our server seemed harried and very to the point, but, I must point out, never missed a detail of my always specific order (I m industry, it happens after 15+ years), and checked on us every time she was on the patio. I was content with the service, unfortunately underwhelmed by the food s less then ample supply of tziziki, but then more impressed that I wasn t charged upon asking for more.. Upon the bill being dropped I understood that this server was busy. I went inside to ask for change and had a moment. This single server was serving 9 tables inside, plus 3 (at my billing) outside. This kind of necessarily basic (yet perfect) service while serving, to my count, 12 active (no bar or solo table included) tables, shows Cedar s salt as a server. I hope OJ s recognizes the talent they have on their team. Cedar: you rock!
Very slow.
Great food
We went in took 20 min after my wife asked can we get service they came took our order after 20 min manager came over asked if we were waiting for our bill we said no we are waiting for our meal he said I ll check and apologized came out never came over to our table to inform us about our meal after that waited 10 min meal came we ate he apologized but no discount on our meal will never go again
Terrible service Terrible food
Absolutely fantastic food and staff!
Great food, and great service from our waitress Jalen. Thanks so much!
Awesome service from our waitress Jalen!
Love the staff and the atmosphere at OJs North. 2 sides, does it get any better than that? great food great service and great times all to be had at OJs stop in today
Jalen provided excellent service. We will be back.
Very good food reasonably priced
Food= Service= Definitely recommend this restaurant 10/10
OJs is consistently good. Not always perfect (my super bland benny today being sn example) but service and selection never miss. Its also a great option for non meat eaters with a wide variety of substitutions.
The Crispy Chicken Sandwich is the best I ve everrrr had! Accompanied by a margarita I m in love! . Service was top notch. I ll be back!
They let dogs in the restaurant and Im highly allergic to dogs I had to leave without eating my meat. I wont be back.
Dont say you close at 12 but actually close at 1130.. terrible
Picked the food up, got home and found out we didn t get what we ordered so that was disappointing for sure. Wouldn t order again.
Great hangout spot!
Late brunch menu was still available.
The food, service, and atmosphere was wonderful. Even when its packed its always a fast friendly atmosphere quite enjoyable
Sundays are Cesars on special and NFL need I say more ! best Cesars in town. Staff is great
Food used to be so good - tonight it was terrible. Gave it 2 not 1 star only because of our waitress - she was delightful and attentive. Are there no good places to eat anymore? Very disappointing
My husband and i went out the first time in a year. My husband specifically asked for no onion, but received onion on his burger. Fries were cold and so was burger. I mentioned to the waitress i was gluten intolerant so i ordered a steak sandwich and received a non gluten piece of french bread. The 6 mushrooms I received were cold as well as the steak. Ask waitress specifically about the cooking of the steak came out almost raw. Sent back to cook a bit more. So tough i could hardly chew. I felt the waitress needed more education on the menu and how the cook prepares steaks. Sooo disappointed. We really wanted to go out and patronize our local eateries but what a waste of 100.00.
Food was amazing! service was amazing!. Thank you! Was my first time out in a long time and it was great.
Great wings on wing night! A bit crowded and noisy...I have gone often...not for a while...darned covid!
Very good food and customer service! The Cajun Chicken Cheddar sandwich is to die for!
Quality burgers to go. Love the dill dip
Absolutely disappointed with the food, over cooked chicken burger, and fish is so overcooked its crunch all the way through. Makes me sad.
Well Restaurants patios opened up yesterday. We hit up Original Joes on the north side. The wings were great. I had Honey Garlic wings -- smothered in Honey Garlic flavor. There was distance between the tables and tables were cleaned before new customers sat down. The waitresses were busy but great service!
Food & service were good!
Great place to have a drink and some lunch. Covid procedures in place. Drinks were amazing. Food was even better. Our waitress was very friendly and quick with service.
Service was excellent and the meal was delicious.
The Brussel sprouts are amazing
Great food. Friendly staff I switched my usual order and got the haddock sandwich it was great I highly recommend it if your in the mood for fish.
Had a great experience Friday (Sept 3). Most fabulous waitress, Serena!! You are the best. Thank you for a wonderful evening

One of my favourite places to eat on the west side. Staff is always very friendly and the food is lights out. Really like their house beer as well. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and drinks
