Such huge portions for a reasonable price and is actually tasty. Got the chicken shawarma in a pita and it wasn't too dry. Got it as a combo and was pleasantly surprised by the fries. The combo kept me full for the full day. The Joe's big burger was surprisingly juicy and was correct when naming itself big. I'd come back to try their other items and try to dine in next time. This time we got take out and found the service a little slow, but worth it! There's a takeout counter or a dine in section which is casual and good for solo or big groups. read more

The burger was delicious ,Fries was ok.Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed with the presentation (served on a paper plate) or the service. The bathroom need attention and ambiance was ok. What was most upsetting, though, was that within about five minutes of leaving the restaurant, both my daughter and I became violently ill and had to rush home to the washroom. It was a very concerning experience, especially since we both developed the same symptoms at the same time. I sincerely hope the restaurant investigates its food safety practices so this doesn't happen to anyone else. I was going to give four star If we did not get poisoned . read more

If you know, you know. Thirteen years since my first review of Joe's. This place is still five stars. Here today celebrating International Falafel Day 2025. The falafel dinner plate was fantastic. So fresh, hot and tasty. And as always, Joe and the staff were a delight. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Delicious falafel dinner plate. - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Very tasty and cooked in front of you, with plenty of toppings to choose from. And delicious fry's!

Quality, service and cleanliness...how can you go wrong? My wife and I, having visited Joe's for over 2 decades went back for the first time in a number of years. OMG.....even better than we remember. We just ordered a burger, fries and a side of gravy. Took it home in a number of minutes and could not believe what we were eating. If you want the PERFECT burger, go to Joe's! I asked for tomato on my burger. It crunched like a tomato should....Incredible. I love gravy with my fries....who makes Joe's gravy?!?! Somebody who knows what they are doing. There are no words other than incredible, awesome, delicious, scrumptious, to name a few, okay there are numerous other words. We are not going to think about them, we just need you to know that anything, absolutely anything on the menu is over and beyond incredible....knock yourselves out! read more

Good food, nice hams, fine service, thank you guys, you are the best!!! I'll come back read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

I've been going to Joe's hamburgers for years. There's good reason for it. The food is delicious, it's predictable, and the staff are friendly. There is a Joe. He's a good guy who is concerned about his customers. Always a smile and some wise advice when he is in. Today, I had a shawarma salad. The Shawarma was nice and fresh, and the vegetables nicer and crisp. The nice thing is that they were able to make it gluten free for me also. The restaurant is a diner. Come in, get your food, maybe grab a table and eat. It's simple and effective and the food is good. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Shawarma salad plate made specially for me. :) - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Starting the year off with an amazingly good takeout from Joe's. Falafels never tasted so good in 2021. Seriously though. I've been going here for years and they never disappoint. The Falafels are AMAZING. Period. Came for takeout on a Saturday, not super busy - I hope their business is doing well. Staff were friendly and courteous as always. I ordered a falafel on a whole wheat pita. The pita's are incredibly fresh and soft. The falafels are honestly the best in town. There's so many toppings to choose from (lettuce, onions, tomatoes, hot peppers, turnips etc). And awesome sauces too (hummus, garlic, hot sauce - get them all!!) The portion size is HUGE. It's such a filling and satisfying takeout meal. I can't wait to go back. Try their falafels and you won't regret it. #SupportSmall read more

The food is always good. Great value and friendly service. Their chicken shawarma plate never disappoint.

Joe's Hamburgers - a hand holding a sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

A real hidden jam...The place called Joe's Hamburgers but thier Shawarma is fantastic. I ordered 2 Shawarma sandwiches with some fries, and it was delicious! The place may not look very fancy, but the service and quality of food are fantastic. read more

Joe's Hamburgers' burgers are pretty good... not the best I had but just watching my beef patty grilling in open flame... exciting!! 1/4 lb combo ($7.55) with a choice of drink. I got excited again when the nice man behind the cash said how about a beer?! Of course.. the drink is just a choice of pop.. My DC must be really hungry since he finished his 1/2 lb in lighting speed... and then start attacking all the home cut fries and onion rings....until everything is gone!! Maybe is the Cherry Cola he is drinking giving him this sugar rush.... The burger is quite enjoyable as the meat is moist and seasoned well. However, the Chicken Souvlaki with grilled marks looks a lot more tempting!! I definitely will be ordering that when I come back next time! PS They should definitely has the staffs wiped down the table frequently... seems no one ever clean the table the whole time we are there!! read more

Best swarma in town. Chicken swarma is crispy outside but still moist inside. Service always friendly and fast.

Who doesn't love Sharwarma & burger at the same place ?! Yessss pleaseeee! This cozy local restaurant hits both the sharwarma and hamburger sectors! When you first walk in, the place is pretty spacious and you are promptly greeted by the cashier. I LOVE the huge television screens! The furniture weren't the most comfortable but pretty decent for a fast takeout restaurant. Chicken Shish-kabob in a pita - the portion was pretty good! I managed to finish it. I LOVE how the kabob was made fresh! No food sitting in a warmer... just freshly made food! LOVE it! The chicken was very tasty and tender ! Love all the veggies which came with it. The tahini sauce was a good addition to the pita. The only thing I would add next time is some hot sauce. After that the pita will definitely be out-of-this-world! Overall, pretty good pita! 4.5/5 Service - it's a DIY system. You order then wait for your food. After you get your food , you sit wherever you want. Make sure you clean up after yourself! Everything is pretty much self serve which I didn't mind. The cashiers/chefs were pretty nice. Final verdict ? I would definitely come back again ! I love this place ! read more

To be honest, I only ended up here because my original plans of going to MiNe (a popular sushi restaurant next door) for dinner had failed. The wait times for MiNe were way too long and I am naturally a very impatient person... So I walked next door and was instantly drawn towards the chicken shawarma signs. And what an awesome decision it was to enter! Joe's Hamburgers was delicious and also really filling. I probably ended up spending a small fraction of what I would've at MiNe with the same satisfaction. I tried the regular hamburger as well as the chicken shawarma and neither of these dishes disappointed - both came in large portions and were very flavourful and fresh. This place is a nice and quick restaurant where you order and pay at the counter with the option of sitting in, as there are many tables all around. It could be great for a casual outing with your family or even a date! Would definitely recommend when you're craving for a juicy burger or a chicken shawarma. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Chicken shawarma plate + burger! - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Keep hearing about this classic place. The burger was good but not great. Typical greasy spoon burger. Fries are authentic and very greasy. Also tried the shawarma. Once again good but nothing to write home about. Want to try some other menu items but it was all just ok. I'll give it another shot. read more

Summary: schwarma done right. Good taste, big portion, solid value, amazing service. Downside? Chicken schwarma only (no beef), and limited parking can be an issue, but we've always made it work. Note to self: Sam, you gotta try the lamb next. Joe's Hamburgers is a mainstay for our ball hockey team after games, provided we don't end too late. It's a little gem that closes at 9, so we don't come as much as we want. The schwarma dinner is what I always go for, and that makes me unadventurous, I know. But it is fairly substantial sized, and makes for a hearty meal with rice, salad, meat freshly cut off the roast, and if you ask, a pita as well. Service is fast and friendly. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Schwarma dinner - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

1. Best falafel I have ever had 2. Fantastic onion rings, you can actually taste onion, no just deep fry. And no extra charge! 3. Toppings on burger - there are a lot to choose from and again, delicious Other foods tried were the chicken kabob, fries, babaganoush and green salad. Everything is a good sized portion. Cannot wait to come back to try their hummus and in general order all of the above again! read more

All the co-workers are addicted to Joe's, my colleague next to me has been in twice this week already. Bring an empty stomach and make sure you have an extra hole in your belt cause you're gonna need it! Chicken shawarma plate comes with choice of rice or fries, an enormous Greek salad with tons of yummy fet on top and tzatziki sauce on the side. I enjoyed this dish very much! Outstanding flavour, made to order! Prices I'm gonna admit are a little on the high side, however their food is five stars so at least they have that to back it up and I left with a full stomach. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Chicken Shawarma plate $13.75 plus tax - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Probably the most consistent restaurant in all of Richmond Hill. I am a big fan of the shawarma, as all the other patrons appear to be. The shawarma dinner plate is enough for 2 people. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and they cut it into chunks as opposed to other shawarma places which are thin, small flakes. The hamburger is also very good, as are the fries and onion rings. This place is a Richmond Hill establishment, and rightfully so as they are consistently great! read more

How in God's name have I lived in Richmond Hill my entire life and never ventured into Joe's for anything more than a shawarma sandwich? I included them in the hamburger issue of the weekly Yelp several weeks back because the lore of their famous burgers has stood the test of time in R.Hill for years and everyone who eats at Joe's agrees they've got it going on in burger land. Despite this impressive yelpo-mercial for their burgers that wasn't what I chose to dine on last night..I mean the 2, 4 and 8oz patties sound amazing BUT if I'm going to Joe's I'm going to have the Joe's famous burger that Edwin A sold me on in his earlier review. To accomplish that fear poppa is gonna need his Full appetite firing on all cylinders, not just a 9:30PM "I'm hungry and need to eat something that's not too filling." Kris you wimp - get in there and stop procrastinating... Ok ok self...I promise next time I've got an hankering for a greasy Burb-ger I'm hitting Joe's. But for last night's purposes I ordered the steak sandwich on a bun. WOW. Floored me! In minutes they were able to produce a perfectly cooked medium rare angus steak (made fresh to order) which they garnished with my choice of toppings (BBQ sauce, onions, pickles, and homemade coleslaw). Killer! That's all I have to say...will update once I've had a burger. read more

I was craving for a hotdog and my BF was craving for a shawarma, so we thought we'd try this place out, as it seems to be the perfect choice at the moment due to good reviews, and it's a family run business. When we came in there were quite a few people ahead of us, and when it was our turn to order, the cashier JUST LEFT THE CASH and started preparing food. So we had to wait for a few minutes before one of their staff saw us and took our orders. They are CLEARLY understaffed. I got the hotdog for $4 and my BF got a chicken shawarma. I saw them put the hotdog in the microwave and then later placed on the grill get have "grill marks". The chicken shawarma is huge and my BF can't finish it. Can't go wrong with their shawarma, as it's always good quality and you get a very good portion all the time. Whenever we come here, there is always such a long wait for food to be prepared, and I don't like it that most of the time, there is no one attending the cash. After I ate, I wanted to get another drink and I had to wait a few minutes for someone to notice me waiting at the cashier station, while the other staff just sat down and ate their own lunches, talk to their guests, and make food. I have always been disappointed at their slow service, and they pay little attention to the cash. If you want to get quick service, I suggest calling ahead, as you can't just walk in and out from this place, you will be here a while due to slow service. I will come back, but with much lower expectations on service. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Hotdog $4 - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

I met up with a friend at lunch today we decided to have us some burgers. She ordered a 1/4 pound combo I decided on the Joe's Hamburger (probably a 1/2 pound) :) After putting on the fixings it quite a towering sight! The toppings were standard affair (tomato, lettuce, pickle) except for the grilled onions. Moment of truth: I polished off my burger in less than 5min. The sesame bun managed to stay together halfway through but my mayo, ketchup, relish, burger juices was a tad bit overwhelming and caused the bun to explode. The patty itself was grilled well. The fries were made in house - fresh potatoes cut into flat rectangular shape with the skin on them not very crisp but they are good, the onion rings were also house made had that distinct home made flavour of batter. (the ones I've made at home taste the same) I like the place, the burgers, fries and onion rings were great. We saw some diners having souvlaki that looked very appetizing too. Something I'll keep in mind for next time I visit Joe's. read more

This restaurant alone makes me want to live in Richmond Hill. Staff are friendly, service is fast (for the amount of people that are in there!), and area is clean. The food portions make me feel satisfied and in love with life. I had the shawarma dinner for lunch and the salad was very fresh (I hate veg but I loved the salad), fries were delectable and I could eat that chicken for days! I love this place. So glad I work near here! Prices are definitely reasonable. read more

Joe's Hamburgers - Shawarma dinner. Def get - Burgers Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

This is the place I miss most since I moved from Richmond Hill to Downtown T.O. It is a quirky blend of burgers, greek chicken and lamb souvlaki, and middle eastern shwarma and falafel - but what a great blend it is! I love the chicken souvlaki on a pita - especially with the great coleslaw that is one of the many toppings. The falafel in a pita is also really good. The lamb souvlaki dinner is only good if you dine in... not recommended for take out. Like others have said, if you are doing take out at lunch or dinner, call ahead, the place gets busy, but that is because the food is great. And Joe is a sweet guy - it is great to see nice people doing well. Almost forgot - the lentil soup is really good too! read more

Whoever Joe is, he's seems done everything right. Walked into Joe's and found a small line up with customer waiting for their orders, despite that, the place was rocking and there was still a place to sit and eat so table turnover is quick. The menu is a simple 2 page card with all the favorite offerings of Shawarma, Steak, Burgers, Souvlaki and Falafel. I'd describe joe's as North America meets Greece type of menu. Walked up to the cash and ordered the Shawarma combo plate plate at a steep $15.50, based on previous menu pics, prices have gone up considerably over the past couple of years, some items have nearly doubled! (I've notice this trend from many popular places on here...because they can I suppose). There is no meat shawarma, that is offred as a pork souvlaki type dinner. The combo meal was offered with rice and either fries or salad, I opted for the salad (makes me feel like I made a good choice. I was given a receipt with a number and waited to be called up to collect my order. Sat down and took my first bite, the food was fantastic! The chicken was tender and well seasoned, it came with a small hot pepper spread and tzatziki side which went very well together. The rice was cooked to perfection (it was a yellow in color and flavored type rice). The greek side salad was served with feta, tomatoes and iceberg lettuce. Overall, it was a splendid meal, good food, almost on par with a higher end place. I hope prices don't continue to go up as I'd like to return with the family more often but trading in my youngest for a meal just doesn't seem right no matter how good it is. read more

Okay, so I've eaten in a lot of burger places over the last few years, and so maybe I'm just tiring of the formula. That said, I was still excited to see a place I've never heard of before, and was looking forward to my lunch. Since it was my first time, I thought I'd try their signature burger; Joe's Big Burger. An 8oz patty, with some fries and a drink. Both the burger and the fries were good, but nothing to write home about. First, the burger. It was definitely large, and so it lived up to its name! But I found mine to be a bit overcooked. Not exactly dry, but not exactly juicy either. Toppings were okay. I asked for extra tomato, but found they skimped a bit (only two thin slices). I also didn't understand the chipotle mayo that I got. It didn't taste like chipotle, and didn't seem to have any heat to it. Anyway, it was still good; just not great. I liked the fries well enough. A good portion, and they seemed like they were fresh cut, not frozen. A little on the crispy side for my liking, but that's just a personal preference, and I don't hold that against them. He staff were friendly enough. I was here in the off hours, so there were only a couple of other diners. There didn't seem to be a lot of parking outside, but at the time I went I had no trouble finding a spot. I think I'll try this place again, but next time I'm going to give the Shawarma a shot read more

Excellent shawarmas and tasty crispy fluffy falafels. Garlic sauce is delicious! Salads are super fresh. Fair prices pretty fast service unless you're ordering on a Friday or Saturday at dinnertime it can be a little bit busy and wait times are longer. Staff are friendly and courteous. read more

Been coming here for years. Don't let the name fool you, they are best known for their shawarma. The best in York Region, hands down. Super juicy and flavorful. When wrapped in a pita, it weighs a tonne and will fill you for the entire day. Highly recommended. Try it for yourself and try to disagree with me. I dare you. read more

I started to attend a new therapy place a few doors away. I was surprised the huge variety of menu items they offer here and they always seem quite busy. They are in a small plaza in the middle of nowhere and if I wasn't going to a therapy in the same plaza I would have never ventured into this small restaurant. The falafel and schwarma are actually quite good for a burger place. They make a decent Greek salad as well. They have a huge staff for such a small place and it is reflected in the number of people coming though the doors that they make decent food at a honest price. I would never have thought an isolated business like this could do a number of things well but so far they seem to manage quite well as there are always line ups at the cash register to order that could match any chain take out in the area. I would bet they could tackle almost anything they decided to feature here and make a very decent meal. read more

An amazing restaurant. An institution up here in Richmond Hill! Love their shawarma! Simply the best!

Me and my mother ordered takeout and brought it home. We had a Lamb Kebab plate, a Chicken Shawarma plate, a 4oz cheeseburger and Falafel Overall impression: Everything tasted good However I'm not really sure where everyone is getting the massive portion sizes from ? My lamb kebab plate was a tiny kebab with maybe 5 small cube pieces of lamb and a giant mound of rice to cover up for the lack of meat. For 20+ dollars after tax it was not worth it. Similar was my chicken shawarma plate, maybe a handful of chicken and massive amount of rice. Like yea rice is nice but I am not paying for rice, I'm paying a price in which I would expect a healthy amount of chicken. Burger was good, no complaints Falafel was good no complaints Dishes came with salads which were fine (who can mess up a salad) Overall everything tasted great but for what I paid and the amount of meat I ended up receiving, I was really frustrated. Ive paid 5 dollars less for shawarma plates and received I'd say more than 4 times the amount of meat on a consistent basis at pita golden pocket. I'd come back for the bigger burgers only if I was in the area or else not worth the money. read more

Best shawarma sandwich. Keep in mind when ordering, it's a big sandwich. Also, they are very professional with the service.

I cannot go through Richmond Hill without stopping at Joe's. The food is excellent. The souvlaki is super moist and tasty. Joe seems to know all of his regular customers and always takes the time to ask how they are. The place is always busy so be prepared for a slight wait; this is a good reflection of the quality of the food. Highly recommended. read more
