Original Joes

The food and atmosphere at Original Joes is always pleasant in my books. The restaurant is pub style with sports on the televisions and the staff are generally good. This location is not known for the speediest service, especially during the lunch or dinner rushes. Reservations can be made, but not on the weekends as far as I know.
During my last visit, our waitress recommended that we order a pint of Raspberry Ale with raspberry slush and raspberries added in. I took her advice and I was in for a treat. It was about +30 out that day and this beer hit the spot! It was exactly what I needed. Definitely would order it again!

I’ve eaten here over 20 times service is good menu is great try the Dragon Boat lettuce wraps, or the Saigon sub. It’s got a great local feel for being a chain restaurant, great beer selection too.

One of my favorite go-​to restaurants for a date night that is nice and close to home. The atmosphere is awesome and the food never disappoints!

great food and friendly atmosphere. Nice and quiet so you can put your phones down and have a conversation with your date, dont need to yell to be heard. Lots of parking so no worries there.

Great place to go if you want to hang out and chat with friends. Very friendly staff and are under new management now which seems to have improved the service. They’ve got an extensive menu with large portions. We love the mediterranean ribs appy (half price on Wednesdays), their fries with dill dip are a must, good burgers, salads etc.
I can’t handle the brewhouse across the street if you want to visit as tables are too close, it’s too loud and too many tvs.

We try not to go here during busy points in the day (lunch/​dinner/​right after work). They’re not known for their speedy service, but in the off hours, it’s a good place to go for a drink, appies and a chat. It won’t be winning any awards, but it’s a solid place to go. The food is decent, and it’s not too noisy. The portions are huge, and the drink menu can hold its own. The seasonal menu is usually a lot of fun. We’ll keep heading there.

Great meal and fantastic service!!!
Abigail is probably one if not the best servers I have ever met.
Will return often

What, Eggs Benny at 2:30 in the afternoon! Yup I’m happy. Lol
New brunch menu on weekends was a great surprise, the food was exactly what I was hoping for, there’s something about comfort food on a cold day. Was served by Rachel and will ask for her section next time, very friendly and knows her stuff.

to start. the sweet yam fries was to die for! it comes with your choice of dill pickle or chipotle dip, i had the steak with a side dish of garlic mashed potato w/​gravy, the steak was juicy & tender, i loved it. my husband had the grilled chicken burger with mango pasta salad, the chicken was grilled just right but the salad was mediocre. we dined sunday night, the service was fast, our server was so nice & friendly (forgot her name…) the place wasn’t too bad, heard that other branches were better. price is not too bad as well… i’ll definitely come back…

I stopped in for lunch. Tried a Wild Rose Velvet Fog beer. Came with a wedge of lemon, needed it to give the beer flavor. Nice selection of draft beer so that would not stop me from going again.
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with roasted veg and Caesar salad. It arrived way too quickly. I got one bite of the roast veg and one of the salad when the waitress asked how it was. Second bad sign. Well the veg was good. The salad was really uninspiring after four or five bites I did get one good one. Shortly after that i gave up and tried adding their Mexican sweet sauce. Very nice flavour. The roast veggies continued to be good. I tried the pulled pork. I asked for the apple cider vinegar flavour. It was vinaigrette for sure. The slaw had the sweetest dressing on it I have ever tasted. The bun was the cheapest hamburger bun you could possibly find. The pork… Well if ham has a mutton version this was it the stringiest driest pork I have ever had. Certainly not what I would expect a pulled pork to be, needed another 12 hours of slow cooking. A sad excuse for a meal.
The décor was nice, the service was decent in spite of having to ask her to repeat herself repeatedly as the decent sound, music was too loud to make her out. There are a number of screens and it is obviously a sports bar. There is a patio which if they do not pipe the music out there might make it a nice place for a beer in the summer.
I will not be back for the food unless I can just get a side of the veg.

Original Joe’s is a pub/​restaurant chain that’s been popping up all over Edmonton and now Leduc finally has a location.
Original Joe’s does not allow minors, which may seem unfortunate for parents, but there are many family oriented dining options in Leduc. But for me it’s nice to have a dining option in town that’s geared just for adults. While minors can’t eat at Original Joe’s it seems (from the sign I read outside) that you can order items for carryout.
The restaurant itself is quite a bit smaller than the other Original Joe’s I’ve been to in the city. I went in with a friend and luckily it was early enough we got a seat right away. On a Friday or Saturday night it might be a little harder to come by. Service was alright, friendly and pretty quick.
I ordered the Jalapeño Mac and Cheese from the speciality menu. When it came out the portion looked much smaller than I had expected. But the dish was cheesy, spicy and very filling. I definitely couldn’t have ordered any more. If the dish wasn’t so filling I would have gotten an order of sweet potato fries, I always like them at Original Joe’s. I guess that means I’ve got a reason to go back.
