About the restaurant

We accept limited reservations during Ice District event days (games and concerts). If you are not able to secure a reservation on Open Table, we do have plenty of availability for walk-ins; we would encourage you to arrive a minimum of 2 hours prior to the event start time in order to avoid lengthy wait times.

We believe in providing a mix of essential food classics and contemporary staples to create the perfect Canadian menu to be enjoyed alongside our beer. We have taken on the responsibility of localizing the beer experience by making authentic, fresh craft products that establish a new, truly Canadian beer culture.

Everything was amazing!! From service to food!! Kenzie served us and she was by far one of the most attentive waitress I have had. She went above and beyond, listening to our requests. She never rushed us and she always had a genuine smile on her face!! Everyone else there was friendly and helpful too. We really enjoyed ourselves!

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!

My husband and brother in law had the steak and shrimp special. My sister in law had the mussel and scallops with linguine and thoroughly enjoyed it and I had the grilled steak salad which was done perfectly. The Saskatoon berry dressing was the perfect compliment to the salad. We topped off with bannock bread pudding with Saskatoon berries. Absolutely great. My husband has had the Bison burger in the past and highly recommends it as well. The service, food and atmosphere are fantastic.
