| - Original Joes is one of my favourite places to eat for pub food. We tried to eat here a few weeks back on a Friday. 5 of us arrived at about 7:45, 3 of us ordered food within about 20 minutes. We asked the server for our food closer to 9 because it was taking forever and they weren't that busy. By 9:15, my 'hot wings' came out at room temp with a dash of sauce. I asked our server for some additional hot sauce and she wanted to send them back to the kitchen because she knew they looked like crap. When they came back out 5 minutes later, they were the same wings, colder, and with a side of hot sauce. I asked if my wrap was going to be out soon, since it had been well over an hour since we ordered, and she came back and said she had no idea how long it would be, but it would be more than 5 minutes, so I cancelled the wrap. My wings were comp'd which was good because I would have been super unhappy paying for those. We finally left at about 9:45. It was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Our server was apologetic, but I think she should have warned us ahead of time that they were short staffed in the kitchen. She should have recognized it took a plate of wings, nachos, and dry ribs over an hour to get to a table, rather than us having to bring it up and ask multiple times. Even after cancelling the pita, there was no manager or anything to apologize for the terrible terrible service and quality. OJs is usually our first choice when my husband and I have our date nights or want to go to a pub with friends, but I think that has changed since that experience.
