    Mac and cheese
    Jon L.

    Original Joes, You were one lovely surprise stop! As we drove to Alberta from Seattle we stopped in Kamloops for some lunch and found Original Joes. To be honest, we weren't really expecting much but we were very pleasantly surprised! Their hot wings could have used a bit more sauce and this is the only reason i took one star away from an otherwise perfect score... (you have to sauce the wings!) My fiancée tried the Mac and Cheese and my friend had a Poutine that was classic and both said they were damn good. All of this goodness at a reasonable price?! Joes is a place i will stop again anytime i have the chance!

    Drunken noodles with shrimp
    Tee E.

    Original Joe's is one of my typical quick dinner spots. The food is typically pretty good for a chain restaurant, decent service, a little expensive for what it is, but overall it's fine. I've eaten at this place many times and that's why the 4 star rating, but this last time the food was sub par. I had the drunken noodles with shrimp. There were lots of shrimp in it. But the shrimp was overcooked and bordering on rubbery. The noodles were fine, but the carrots were overcooked as well. It left the dish lacking texture. A sprinkle of peanuts helped a few bites, but definitely not enough. It lacked a little bit of sweetness to help cut through the chili soy sauce. Usually order the saigon sub, but couldn't see it on the menu.

    I'm a fan. Good food and good service. Try the Mac and cheese. Nice layout for a restaurant and there is normally a game playing.

    Waite staff is terrible. You can count on a solid meal at joe's. What saves this place is their dessert ice cream. Order two, or three....

    I think our waitress was high or drunk. Been here a few times and have always been disappointed with the menu and service. Not going back.

We were told that the food is consistently good and it come with a great restaurant vibe. We ate outside with lots of other people enjoying the many TV sets. Our very friendly server came over to the table to bring us menus and take a drink order. Our server was too kind and really help make it our visit there special. We started with some drink and moved into a light casual dinner / snack (it was getting late.) Chicken tenders... Crispy breading and moist tasty chicken breast. Chicken wings... Same thing, Crispy wings with a moist tasty fresh taste. Grilled cheese.... Those who had it, loved it. It's nice to go to a fun place and relax, eat simple and most important laugh. KUDOs to the team at On the Rocks Pub & Grill.

Upon seating ourselves we were immediately greeted by our friendly server and ordered a Golden Kokanee beer plus Taters Supreme. First off, I love the Canadian hockey cutlery and everything Canadian-branded. This is a great spot for a games night and the staff here are welcoming, friendly, and all around amazing! The taters supreme was served with a cute Canadian flag and is basically a tater tots version of nachos with cheddar cheese, ground beef, sour cream, tomatoes & green onions - delicious! First time to Canadian Brewhouse but won't be the last - there's a location in Richmond closer to my home.

This was especially funny considering the staff was allowing the children of nearby tables to crawl around on empty tables and scream. The entire time I was treated like I was loitering. Additionally, the hockey stick forks are uncomfortable to use, and the elderly couple next to me were given a dirty table and the wrong food. I've tried this restaurant twice and it disappointed both times.

I guessed either this place was good or there ain't much options in Salmon Arm. Why two stars? The food was not that good and the tables were quite tight. People kept bumping my chair when they walked behind me. Not sure why they could not walk on the other side of our table which didn't have anyone sitting there. It was quite annoying. The service could also be better. Our water glasses were not topped up unless we flagged down our server. I had the halibut burger which sounded amazing in the description. Poached in white wine and served with lime aioli. Unfortunately the fish was on the dry side and I barely discerned any wine at all. The saving grace was the yam fries which I upgraded for 1/2 Caesar salad and 1/2 yam fries at $3 more. Those were good. Very small portion of the Caesar salad though. My travel partner didn't like the fried chicken burger at all. The chicken was hard and dry. The server gave extra chipotle Mayo sauce but it didn't help much. Popeyes chicken burger was way better. Overall this was quite a disappointing meal. Maybe people come here for the beer only.
