Original Joes - Cochrane

Pretty decent for a chain. Food was good, service was prompt and not too expensive. Have been a few times and it never blows my mind, but never disappoints. The dragon boat starter wraps were really good.

My wife and I, along with our adult son called in for dinner recently and found we had a 'not such good experience'. After ordering wings as a starter it we waited, and waited, and waited but never complained. I did see meals being brought to other tables but hadn't taken notice if they had ordered ahead of us or not and so didn't give it any more thought. After a little longer the server came over and apologized. It appears the order was lost by the kitchen. However, they did comp the wings without any prompting from us. These were nice but then our entree arrived (haddock and chips). After eating this and then talking about it later we felt as though the meal had been cooked long before we got the wings and then left under a heat lamp to keep hot. Certainly not the most enjoyable meal we have eaten there. Might give this place a rest now and see what the other new places in town are like in comparison. We just like it here because there are no minors allowed.

We went for Mother's Day and had a great brunch. The breakfast tacos are always very filling and the banana French toast is always excellent. Nice atmosphere, quieter as no children under 18 allowed. Lots of sports on tv, some of the music choices are questionable.

I visit Cochrane frequently to spend time with my family and we always go to Original Joe's at least once. The food is great, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is modern with a sports flair. I had the beef dip, the fish and chips are always good and we loved the truffle salt and parm chips. Enjoy!

Called in last night on way home from Hanna. Service was really good. Food was of a high standard. The place was clean and appealing.
