I'm also wondering about this location. OJ's is a student stable with various locations in Calgary. Their burger which has provolone cheese and splumbo's spicy capicola is delicious.

The place is constantly packed. Langford loves it.

It's pretty good food, at alright prices, in fairly big proportions. The atmosphere of the place is pretty laid back and casual, there's plenty of parking, and it's in a very central location for the area.

I cringe when I think of an establishment being called OJ's, but then many young people do not know of those times. I hope his picture isn't hanging on the wall.

Westshore Town Centre (or Can West Mall for those of us who refuse to let go) beside Marks Work Warehouse.

The Mrs. and I tried it today. We went at 1pm thinking that the lunch rush would be over and the place was full. We only waited for 5 minutes, so it wasn't bad at all.

I had their Sgt. Pepper Burger which is a pepper encrusted burger with Hot peppers and the works.

I have to say, it was one of the better burgers I've had in Victoria for some time. You could taste the charbroiled flavour and the pepper was very nice. Their fries were excellent as well.

Service was quick and attentive without being overbearing.

Great experience and will be returning.

Langford really needed a place like this. I go here almost every time I am out in the area and hungry. Their food is good and prices aren't bad.

I grew up just under a KM away from this place, but moved into town 3 years ago. I wish this place was here when I was going to Belmont. I would have skipped class for OJ's instead of the garbage at the mall food court.

It is just a shame though that they haven't been able to get a decent patio. They have some decent ones in their other locations.
