Original Joe's — Restaurant in Calgary

This was one of our favorite spots to grab a quick lunch or dinner. Wine Thursdays was a frequent event. And even the brunch was fantastic....BUT we have noticed the quality of food declining over the last couple years to the point that we don't go there or order from them anymore. For example, the last few times we ordered take-out the fries were so overdone they were too crispy to eat (and I like crispy fries), the amount of dill dip/other sauces in each container was maybe a 1/4" and not enough to dress a tiny salad or dip into, no bacon bits in the Caesar salad, and only 3 chicken fingers in a meal that used to have 5. I know inflation/food prices are up over the years but as the prices have come up the food quality has still gone down. We have ordered take-out (not Uber or skip, but directly from them) a bunch of times in the last year and we're now so disappointed that we will not be ordering again. This is a shame for a place we used to frequent...

Oh man, was looking forward to this meal, ordered on uber. Ordered an ace burger with fries and gravy, brownie, some pop and calamari. The burger and fries were basically inedible. They package their hot food in sealed plastic containers, which basically turns the container into a steam chamber. The bun for the burger was completely soggy, it was actual mush. The container the fries were in had water from the steam on the top and bottom of the container, as in the fries were completely soggy and wet from being sealed (again in an unvented plastic container). The brownie was delicious, the pops were cold, but the calamari also suffered the same fate as the fries, but were fortunately still edible, and somewhat tasty. (4/10 for the calamari)

Was really disappointed at the lack of thought that goes into the packaging of the food for delivery. At least vent the containers ffs. Spent way too much on this meal that ended up in the trash after only...

We went there yesterday for dinner to celebrate a few anniversaries. I called ahead to make a reservation for 8 people. When we arrived we were sat at a table for 6 and another for two as the tables were bolted down - that would’ve been nice to know at the time I called to reserve. There was an option for a booth but booths are inconvenient if someone needs to get out. The sever took quite a while to rake out orders, I actually had to flag her down as we’d been waiting a while (with all our menus closed). The food was very average and basic. I ordered homecut fries and they came out burnt to a crisp and I was highly disappointed. Everyone else’s food seemed to be good. After the plates were cleared, we waited very long time to get the bill, I (again) had to flag her over, then we still waited like 15 minutes for the bills. Our reservation was at 4:30 and we didn’t leave until 7:00, that should tell you about the time we were waiting...
