    Every single time we come to Edmonton we stop here… we have been coming here for a few years only a couple to a few times a year… and yet Sarah still knows what I drink. Knows me by name too. The food is as always amazing. All of the staff treats us like gold. So happy to have time for wings on Thursday at Joes tap house and grill.

    This is our "local watering hole". The kitchen is always on point, never disappointing with any menu choice. I tend to come weekly for Wings & Shrimp but have ordered many items over the years. The wait staff are AMAZING, shout out to Janice, she is our girl. Always greeted with a friendly smile. Food is FAST and DELICIOUS. Atmosphere is great for sports games lots of tv's for your viewing pleasure. I have had many birthdays here, they can handle the large groups. Nothing but good things to say. Love it. Lots of changes with the Renos and name update, but the food and staff remain AMAZING.

    We ordered lasagna, cocktail, chicken wrap and chicken wings. I forgot the exact names of these dishes. The food tasted pretty good and it was surely worth the price considering the portion size. The cocktail came in a very small glass which was a little disappointing because other restaurants/bars have the same kind of cocktails and same price but comes in a much bigger glass. The server was nice and kinda approachable as well. One major extremely weird thing was that the chicken wings were served to us in a steel bowl and it looked like they mixed the wings with spices in that "ugly" bowl!! (shown in the picture below) Idk if they served us the wings THAT WAY by mistake or that's how they always do?!

    Stopped for lunch. Food was delicious and great value for the quality. The salmon sandwich really stood out. I will return.

    Perfectly fine dive bar. Food was very mid. I'm sure Tyler in the back makes great food, but if you want great food, you need great chefs. Service was as good as I expected. Drinks were refilled, but definitely not before they were emptied. Mushroom starter was phenomenal, but not top of the line. I know you guys could be great, I want you guys to be great. But at the same time, their just needs to be standards, held to that standard. I know you guys could be great. So prove to your patrons that you can be more than great. I love you guys. But you don't improve by being great. You be great by improving on the mistakes.

    A must try for any burger lovers. Hands down the best burgers I have ever had. The fries and gravy are also unreal. Highly recommend checking them out.

    My wife and I stopped in for our first time since it was O2's and I have to give huge thanks to Cassie who was our server. She was super friendly and attentive to our needs she did a fantastic job. The food was actually quite good and the prices were fair. I would definitely recommend this place for a great atmosphere and a bite to eat.

    Nice local neighbourhood pub with great deals and specials on food and drinks. Service is really friendly and they kill it on the food, it’s delicious! Just tried it yesterday and I’ll definitely be be back. Lots of TV’s and some VLTs available so you can definitely catch your favourite team’s game as well.

    Food was really good. Took a little while to came out but the waitress made sure our drinks were always full so it didn't really bother me. I'll be going here again sometime soon.

    Really good fries and burgers. The mashed potato spring rolls were AMAZING- I only wish there had been more 😂 I was impressed with the generous toppings for them as well. Our server was kind, accommodating and fast. The environment isn't my kind of thing with all the bright screens and the music was too loud but given that it's a pub, it's to be expected. Also, they can accommodate large groups and the chairs are comfortable! Will definitely be back again!

    Messa Joes sports bar has a wonderful atmosphere. Service is excellent and food is superb. Great place to watch the game and unwind. Buffalo chicken bombs are a house specialty. Wings always done to perfection with 15+ flavours. We try and stop and catch a game whenever we can. Check it out for yourself.

    Service was very good. However, the food we ordered were terrible. The spicy dill wings had zero dill taste and were nothing but saturated in extreme hot sauce. They were really small and didn't come with the vegetables it stated in the menu. We sent them back and ordered the herb and garlic wings, hoping for a better result. The nachos came out and they were fairly burnt. Upon eating them you tasted a strong burn taste. The toppings were minimal and lacking. The cheese was dumped on a pile and not spread throughout the chips. Meh!!!! after sitting for quite awhile, the herb and garlic wings showed up. We had sat for too long and were ready to go. They looked better but they would not allow us to take them out so we left them. We finished our beer and headed straight to Original Joe's. There were no disappointments there. Drinks, service, and food were amazing as it should be. The dill wings there were large, juicy, and tasty. Oh! Even on Wing Tuesday you can take them home. In today's time it's too expensive for people to go out to eat and have a drink or two and be utterly disappointed! We won't be coming back here anytime soon.

    This place is a true gem in our city. Nicely tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on the northside. Great for food games and just good quality service all around. This is my go to spot when I’m in the city and the workers treat their customers like gold.

    The owner walks over to our table while the waitress is taking our order. He interrupts the waitress and tells her to drop whatever you are doing. And get this guy a glass of water . Then he comes back again and tells her to serve the people in the vlts again when she is talking to us. This bald guy in the hat. Is a douche a lazy POS he made this waitress feel so small. Food is good Service was fantastic this manager is a joke because of him. Never go back what a douche!!

    Went for wing night with a large group. Waitress was awesome. Was on the ball for everything. Managed to get us served at almost the same time and was still hot. Tasted amazing. Kept our drinks full too. Name may have been Janelle?

    Had a great date night wife my wife . The food was excellent and the atmosphere was tame, no loud boisterous patron just happy people doing happy things. Great place to catch a game. I recommend you go and have a great time.

  • 5/5 Chris P. 8 months ago on Google
    I have been coming to this bar for 9 years now, the food has always been really good and the service even better. Just recently Joe added a bunch of new TV’s which is going to be great for the start of the Oilers season. This place is the best on north side for service, food and sports, will recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great service. PS JoJo and Desiree are the bomb request them when you show up.

    Relaxing Atmosphere. Might have been the crowd I was with but service seemed a tad cold...lol. Food looks good though. I loved the Pizza.

  • 5/5 Mara C. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a hidden gem! The renovations are awesome. As a single woman...the new upgrades made me feel welcome. The food is excellent, unique to the bar and flavour abound...its better than most high end restaurant chains...like Browns. Drinks are very good. Servers are attentive. I would love it if they would bring in live music or kareoke.. Other than multipke sports TV screens and VLTs it's lacking some entertainment.
