                We usually like OJs but the food this time was below par. We thought the beef was suspect and sure enough we both experienced gastric distress the next day. And chicken wings really were tasteless. Beer was fine. Server was excellent.

                The chicken club wrap - tasty The Jack Daniel's burger - tasty The vibe was fine. The service was very slow - especially considering the place had very few tables to serve.

                Waitress was accommodating to combine my reservation with my other group of friends, who just happened to arrive to my surprise, so we ended up sitting near the back with 9 of us. Good thing it wasn’t busy either or otherwise, it probably wouldn’t have happened. Food was excellent as always.

                When we arrived it was very busy. They had not saved a table for us. We were just lucky to get a table.

                Our server was great, and when I realized I’d ordered the wrong thing (and something I couldn’t eat), she promptly reordered what I’d originally intended to order, which was much-appreciated.

                I love this particular Original Joe’s venue because the staff members are always friendly and efficient. The food is tasty pub style fare. They were able to get our meals out quickly on a fairly busy evening to accommodate our theatre tickets.

                Food wasn’t good and the server seemed to be annoyed the entire time for what reason 🤷‍♀️

                Great service. Kind of a straight narrow alley of a bar so not a lot of ambiance but the service makes up for it.

                The Kona burger or any of the wraps are always excellent choices!

                Reheated, greasy fries. Our original, Grumpy server left and was replaced by a friendlier one.
