About the restaurant

Original Joe's Edmonton - Terwillegar is a place that welcomes all adults. We have craveable classics, down-to-earth vibes, and a friendly team looking to brighten your day! Our OJ's is located in one of Edmonton's most popular neighbourhoods since 2005. We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of the development and growth of this community. You can take in a few rounds of golf at one of the nearby courses before stopping in for an OJ's meal, or visit the Edmonton Public Library. We have a dog-friendly patio in the summer so you can bring your fur babies along for a pint on a hot summer day. Being close to South Edmonton and the Currents of Windermere means there are plenty of retail options and entertainment. With quick access to Anthony Henday Drive, Whitemud Drive and the River Valley, we are in the heart of the community. Come in, grab a seat wherever you'd like and we'll take care of the rest!

This restaurant has very good food and meets expectations for many similar Korean and Mongolian BBQ places. However, what distinguishes this from others is the atmosphere, the very friendly front and wait staff and the quality and helpfulness of the service! We enjoyed our experience and will definitely go back!

About the restaurant

Bodega Ellerslie, our first Edmonton location south of the River Valley, is just 15 minutes from the Edmonton International Airport, steps away from Blackmud Creek and surrounded by numerous hotels and head offices.
Our Ellerslie location is the perfect spot for a speedy lunch, drinks afterwork and a night out with friends. With just 60 seats, this space is bright, dynamic with all the little details our properties are known for.
This summer, snag a spot on the patio, and settle in - small plates and paella to share will transport you out of the suburbs and into Spain. This is a friendly neighbourhood restaurant & we kindly ask guests to observe a two hour dining experience on busy nights so we can host as many of our cherished patrons as possible.

For groups over 4, please phone us at (780) 884-5916
