Original Joe’s

It’s just your average Canadian pub-​fare chain, but I love OJ’s all the same. They have a big menu and everything I’ve tried there has been good. I love that the sandwiches come with two sides so you can have a little of everything. Great salad dressing! And the patio is really nice on those good-​weather summer days.

5 stars because on the Upper Westside (oooo so fancy) it really is the best for pub grub, beer, wings, good service and good vibes. Close to home and everyone knows our name. Well not everyone… but you get the idea.

Just a reminder that LEGGINGS AREN’T PANTS!
I don’t need to see the contours of the servers ass and legs while i’m attempting to eat.
It is rude. Lazy. Unprofessional. And disgusting that management allows them to wear leggings, yoga pants, or whatever the fuck they are called.
I don’t care if they are comfortable or whatever; they are unacceptable.

We like coming here a lot, but it’s not out of this world. Good drink specials and food if you’re out to drink and visit and not to eat REALLY good food. Except their mussels. God damn those are perfect.

OJ’s in Apsen is a regular go-​to for me. It is worth pointing out that they have $ 5 OJ’s pints on special every Friday. It seems that, in Calgary, a good Friday drink special is hard to come by. There is no need to stick to familiar brands, as the OJs beers appear to be a high quality microbrew. The blonde on the patio on a hot day is very satisfying. The House Frau is also worth trying if you’re into German beers.
The food, despite being somewhat uninspiring, is dependable and reasonably priced. You can’t go wrong with the grilled cheese burger or chicken wrap. They also have a solid brunch that is, again, very reasonably priced and comes complete with a selection of breakfasty booze choices.
Service is always prompt and friendly in my experience.

The food at OJ’s Aspen Landing is always delicious and comforting. I just wish it weren’t so crowded all the time. It can get very noisy and there isn’t a lot of room to move around. The service is always very good though.

I have been to this oj’s quite a few times and every time I have been there it has been consistently good from the food to the waitresses and I have had almost everything on there menu, it’s a great place to go in the summer to just sit on the deck have a beer and some apps and relax with friends or a good place for you and the lady to go for dinner overall with how consistent they are with food and service I will give them 3 stars

Alright, with the amounts of time we’ve been here I guess I should update my reviews and rating. I normally always get the same thing so the quality of the food is on par and always hits the spot. The service has improved to a point that I want to give it 4 stars but they recently increased their prices which makes my update only to 3 stars.
I keep forgetting to mention about the bathrooms here, I don’t know if all OJ’s have this but the foot door opener is a nice touch and enables you to open the door with out touching the handle keeping your hands clean (if you washed). Loves it! Wish every establishment had this!!!

Our first time at this OJ in Aspen. Busy Saturday evening but service was very good although our very attentive waitress never introduced herself. My wife enjoyed her Mojito and I thought the Honey Brown (OJ draught) was excellent and only $ 5 a pint Saturday’s.
The soup special, Mushroom Bisque was exceptional and I wish they would make it a menu staple. We shared a Nom Namaste Flatbred which had some heat due to the curried tomato cream sauce, chili flakes & spiced yogurt. Very good but a bit on the small side if sharing unless you each have something else like soup, as we did.
OJ lists their nutritional info for every menu item. Well worth looking at before ordering as some of their items have up to double the recommended daily allowance for sodium! Better take a defib along with you!
Plenty of TV’s for game watching. We look forward to going back again!

Underwhelming experience. The lounge was darker and the servers inattentive. The food seemed average and the ambiance was nothing thrilling but I guess that’s what happens when you go to a chain restaurant. This place seemed quite large which is good — it can house a lot of people. I will give them credit, their fish tacos are particularly good.

I have been to OJ’s quite a few times now in a few different cities, and overall I would say I enjoy their pub fare and casual atmosphere. The value offered is excellent, with generous portions and a wide range of side dishes.
For this particular location, I would rate it as just average. One of my favourite items used to be the beef dip, which is what I decided to try again last night. I love the flavor the horseradish, grilled onion and mushrooms, topped with cheese all offer. And their dip is spot on. I ordered it with fries and gravy, and honey slaw. The problem with the dish is that the beef was tough and chewy, and the fries were overcooked and dry.
This isn’t the first time I have had this problem with this location, which is why I wouldn’t rate it above 2 stars — consistency. Consistency of food quality and consistency of service. I could probably overlook the service, but I can’t overlook the taste of the food.
I’ve tried ordering different items on the menu, and have fared a little better. Because it’s such a great value, convenient and a great atmosphere, I’ll try it out again. Maybe a burger next time?

We were headed to a friends for drinks in Aspen. Figured might as well get on the bite on the way there.
It was slow, and it wasn’t that busy. In the course of a 45 minute dinner we had 3 different servers as well. They have totally changed their menu, my husband was mad as they no longer have the mango salad for a side. So he went butter chicken, which he said was ok.
I went the steak sandwich without the bread… so basically a steak. It was good, I had the quinoa salad and coleslaw for sides. Both were tasty.
Due to it’s location, I dont see myself coming here very often, but it’s a good option for those in the area.

I have made the mistake of going here twice in the last month. I arrived, sat at the bar and was greeted with a simple hello. It was then ten minutes before the bar tender stopped doing glassware and asked if I would like anything. I asked for a beer and a menu, both of which took far too long. I then had to get his attention again after having my menu closed for a while, felt like doing dishes was more important to him then taking care of guests. I ordered the veggie burger and proceeded to wait, and wait and wait. Luckily the football game was on so it wasn’t too bad but my friend and I noticed it was 45 minutes before getting my food. The food came out, and the bun was cold and the fries were soft and cold, yummy. Ate the food, paid my bill, which took a while because the bar tender was off and the manager was now washing glassware and left, next time I want a pint and some football I am sticking to Fergus and Bix, which was closed that day.
