Came for a day trip from Seattle and stopped in for a bite. Our server was darling! The food was great and not overpriced. Reading the sad reviews on here, doesn’t sound like the same place! We will be back.

started off as "meh" last year and now is incredibly good the last 5 times I have been here. Great beers on tap (try their house honey brown), good specials every night and a perfectly stacked Guinness if you want it. Why are more people not eating here? The Truffle Parmesan housecut chips are insanely good, and so are the Greek ribs, the ACE burger griddled to perfection, and the zesty chicken lettuce wraps. Service is warm, friendly and professional. Awesome selection of sides served with your burger, too. Never too long a wait, comfortable half-booths and always a good time whether I'm on a date, out with my friends or with our toddler in tow. Next up I will be trying is there tempting brunch menu - hard to find a good brunch place in Richmond. I mean, this is a place that serves cookies and milk! That's just thoughtful! ;)

Great place to go to for some solid pub food. I went on a Sunday evening and it wasn't too busy. They have drink & food specials for each day of the week. 

On Sundays, they have $5 caesars and $1 off tankards. Our server also mentioned that they had "steak puppies" which includes a 6 ounce steak served on a brioche steak and a side for only $12.95. When I heard that I was like hells yeah! 

So we ordered an order of the steak puppies with fries on the side. You also get a choice of dip for your fries between either gravy or their dill sauce. I selected the dill sauce and my partner on the other hand got the beef dip sandwich which came with two sides. He chose the fries and garlic brown rice along with a side of gravy as the sides.

The food was great, staff was attentive, and for a pub, the music was not too loud. Quiet enough to have conversations with friends. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area with greasy cravings.

Ace cheeseburger was really good and I like that they come with 2 sides. Server was nice and brought more rounds of drinks frequently which I Like.  Great experience. will be back.

Their Kona burger is delicious!! I really like how their burgers come with 2 sides since I love variety. We came on game 7 of the basketball championship so the place was packed. Even so, it didn't seem to affect the speed and service. Their greek wings are also a must try.

I had a great BBQ Jack Daniels Burger on special the last time in. It was awesome in all its pretzel bun glory.
Last few times in, nothing but good food, beer and service!

Great beer selection here. Lots of choices. I hate going places and they all have the same menu. Two sides with your burger. Wow! Lots of tv's. Decent food. I couldn't finish the grilled cheese burger. Too big!

Not a bad place to hang out. I checked out the Original Joe's in Richmond and all in all its not a bad place to have a beer or too. I had a full rack of ribs with mash potatoe and caesar salad. The paprika on the ribs is kinda obvious which i'm not used to so I know they used a dry rub on the ribs. I also ordered calamari which was a bit dry, it was pretty crunchy couldn't really taste the squid. The service was not bad, the server pretty much left me alone the whole time except when i needed another beer. The other thing i noticed was that the place was empty, there were only 5 people when I came in including whichis too bad. pretty quiet and with the nhl lock out, it will be even more quieter in the upcoming months.

I like the fact that they have lots of big tv at every corner of the bar so it doesn't matter where you sit, you can catch all the action. Plus they have free Wi-Fi.

So overall I would give it 7 out of 10.

So if you live around the area, you should check it out.

Free wings deal got me here. I got a hold of one of those free wings for a year coupons they were giving out when they opened in richmond...that was what got me here!

i really enjoy their selection of flavouring for the wings and the french onion soup is YUMMO!

There burgers and sandwiches are pretty good, but stay away from their wings; they are too dry and lack taste. Overall, a great place to go.

This place has the sports bar formula down to a science. The Eichmond one is nice and new, spacious, and comfy. You have a good view of the whole place, and always can see at least two giant tv's. I think the burgers here are pretty good, and one of the best ideas is letting you have your choice of two sides (out of 8 or 10 options), because sometimes I don't want fries or a caesar salad. They also have a good beer selection, including some exceptional local brews on tap. I like this place as a burger stop just before going to a movie at the Riverport Theatres.

Pretty good. I've eaten here twice, it was decent both times. I like that you get two sides with a burger, the service was friendly, there basically wasn't really anything to dislike.

the hamburger patty was mediocre, but definitely edible. my sister really, really liked it, however.

I will go back.

Now when my friends asked if I wanted to go to Original Joe’s for lunch on Sunday, I had no idea what they were on about. "Y’know, that bar that opened up in Ironwood awhile back.”

Original Joe's is decent bar to family restaurant food. They have variety of poutines, burgers and pastas as well as a few salads, and entrees. The burgers and poutines are good with their all need burgers taking the lead. Service is usually very quick and staff are friendly. Bathrooms are clean. You can watch sports here. Parking is pretty good as they are part of a mall. They are on two bus routes and their are bike racks.

Great beer, great atmosphere, without a doubt a place not to be missed. Food was great, service was quick & staff awesomeness was very much present. Not your average bar. Clean, tidy & was a pleasure to visit. Big kudos to whoever runs this establishment. I have visit many restaurants/bars whilst in Canada but this one gets a gold medal for a chilled out place to eat, drink & very attentive staff to your needs. Gonna visit again tomorrow.

Really like the atmosphere and our waitress was the best. Quick service, excellent food, and good location. Right off the freeway & near Richmond ice rink. Thought we took a risk, but ended up one of the best meals during our trip. Parking was quirky but there is additional behind the building.

We stopped in here after a very long day in a couple airplanes on the way out from Philadelphia. My wife, two kids and I were here for dinner on a Friday evening. The place was probably about 3/4 full and had a nice buzz about it. It's decorated well, the music was playing at a good level, but still allowed conversation, and there are a few TVs if you want to watch a game. There is a nice selection of local beer on tap and a full bar. My wife had a fish special, I had a burger with a side of poutine, and the kids split a chicken finger dish. We also ordered an appetizer of nachos, and it was way too much food, but that's what happens when you order overly hungry. The food was all very good and cooked perfectly. The server was attentive and friendly. We were in a bit of a rush because we had to run back to the airport to pick up the other half of our party flying in from another town, and the server expedited everything to allow us to get there in time.

I ordered the Mac & cheese and or was the best I ever had. My friends ordered the Tacos and my friends really enjoyed them. So the food was delicious. The service was great and the staff was quite helpful. They deserved the large tip I gave them.
