Original Joe's Restaurant & Bar

Very good food. Spicy really means spicy. My only complaint is that less than 2 sides isn't an option for online orders.nFirst order was worth going back. Second order sucks. No garlic on the garlic toast, steak was over cooked and last I checked steak sandwich has bread.

Clean floors and tables ,inviting atmosphere, friendly accommodating staff. The gravy is extra salty but the fries are hand cut and very crispy. The burger patties are nothing special just like regular frozen patties. If you want great fries this place is good at that.

I was there on July 21. My family and I stood at the front doors for 15 mins, and not a single person addressed us at all. Even to say just 1 min and we will be right with you to seat you. Nope, nothing. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere. We were not the only ones waiting either. Very poor service.

On a whim, I ordered the Butter Chicken. Having had authentic Butter Chicken before, my expectations were high. The photos I saw from reviews 5 years ago and on the Door Dash app looked promising. What I got wasn't anything remotely close to Butter Chicken. It looked like something a dog yacked up. The Imposter Chicken was literally just a boiled chicken cut into strips and smothered in a brown, flavorless gravy. I wouldn't feed something like this to my dog. They should be ashamed to serve this. I should have called and demanded my money back.

BEST SPOT IN TOWN!! Love this place. Located in downtown Cold Lake, this location is one of the best around. Whenever we go in there we are always welcomed by a friendly staff. The restaurant itself is always very clean and well maintained. With plenty of seating there are many options whether you would like something quiet, or something in the open. The menu is extensive and has something for anyone. The bar has a lot of options, including awesome OJs exclusive beers worth a round or two. Some notable menu items are the beef dip, butter chicken, wraps, poutines, burgers and always the awesome sides. The daily specials are always worth it. Take out is available. Overall you can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend making this the go to spot in Cold Lake.nThis location also has a pool table and multiple TVs for entertainment.
