Original Joe’s

About 1 hre to receive our meals… with kids… UNSAT ! Music loud, not kids friendly, will not come back

This is a fun spot for dining with family or having a few drinks with friends. Whether you want to escape the office for lunch, not in the mood to cook dinner or looking to enjoy evening refreshments, Original Joe’s can provide you with environment to experience a good time. I think it’s one of the better restaurants located on the West Shores of the Capital Region District.
Everything I’ve ordered off their menu has been enjoyable & the staff is typically friendly & on point when it comes to taking orders & following up with you to make sure everything is going well. Looking at other reviews maybe this is only the case for regulars as my friends & I have never had any issues with the staff & speed of service.
It can get busy in here however this establishment is has been great at keeping the flow moving.
I’ve always had a good experience dining here with friends or even w/​the family.

Came in for a quick bite to eat. Took three waitress’s to finally get us a table. Service was slow. Two other guests got their food before us, the got seated after us. Food is ok, nothing to write home about. We won’t be back.

This is one of our favourite restaurants in Langford. The prices are reasonable, the food is flavourful, and the atmosphere very nice withcomfortable booths. One of the things I enjoy most is that one has a choice of 2 sides (I love side salads and hate eating out without good veggies) with certain dishes. Only once did i order a dish that I didn’t like, & the waitress immediately replaced it with another choice without me having to request it. I have never experienced any problems with the service. It has always been amazingly prompt. We are seniors & the food quantity is substantial, so I usually have left overs for next day lunch.

We stopped on a Sunday afternoon, waiting while our tire was repaired at Canadian Tire. Service was a bit slow, it was very busy, but one can see why. Portions are very large and the quality and choice is very good.

Food was okay, if you are looking for high cholesterol. Grilled Cheese Burger on Texas Toast. Luckily they offered a veggie patty, that was Meh.

My expectation were low. After all, this is Langford where White Spot constitutes fine dining.
I went out for Sunday dinner with my wife and 7 year old son and my first hint should have been that there were no kids even though the restaurant was full. Despite being billed as a restaurant, this is really a pub that serves pub fare. There is no kids menu so that means that junior gets to take one for the team.
The décor is earth toned warehouse with even the fancy «brickwork» being nothing more than wallpaper. The booths and seating looked like they were stripped from the local Pantry when it went out of business. There is one medium screen TV overhanging the bar so they get to call themselves a sports bar I guess.
The service was poor but they were short staffed as our server was all but sprinting between tables to try and cover them and there was no hostess. We were told to seat ourselves. The waitress asked me if I knew about the drink specials when she first came to the table and if we were ready to order. Since we didn’t have menus and nobody was around to tell us about any specials I was polite.
I ordered a pizza and it was so limp and soggy that even when I picked up the smallest piece it bent in half and all of the toppings dripped off. My wife had her appetizer and main course arrive at the same time and both were bland. Junior had the appy chicken strips and fries and he liked them, although that is pretty hard to screw up.
The place was full and most patrons had smiling faces and multiple empty pints of beer on their tables so I can’t fault success. We won’t be back any time soon but I am sure that we won’t be missed.
White Spot has nothing to worry about.

Another Cookie Cutter Pub Franchise. On the bonus side, the ingredients were fresh, and portions ample. For sandwich and burgers, you get choice of two sides. I ordered the Roundhouse, which is the original Joe’s’ spin on the club house sandwich. The contents of the sandwich was superb, but the burger/​Kaiser bun didn’t quite I thought a clubhouse sandwich should be. The prices of the appitizers seem were on the cheap side when compare to other pubs menu’s. The Service has to improve, It might be because it was a busy Friday night for a under staff bar, or could be the young girls who don’t seem to be experienced waitresses. But maybe there service will improve as the pub just opened.

For what it is I found it a reasonably priced meal. The choice of sides aren’t a let down either. Nice atmosphere varied menu, good portions, and a reasonable price. A few draw backs seemed to me that there isn’t enough organization. Tried to order: Pulled pork, they were out, ordered halibut, they could only sell me the three piece rather than the two, clubhouse sandwich came with bun, no bread. The poor busgirl was so busy handling being a host, taking names, clearing tables, that she didn’t know which to do first, which ultimately proves they have great staff, but they need to work on some stuff.

Had lunch with a group and I have to be fair that everyone else thought the food was fantastic. It was okay for me but I am not into huge burgers or massive beef dip plates at lunch… unless I can sleep all afternoon.
I had the Gyoza and Humus and Pita and they very nice.
My buddy next to me had a Burger and he loved it but could only get through half of it.
It is a open eatery style restaurant.
Bonus points for being one of the few quality restaurants on the Westshore.
