The service was great. Mussels with curry was delicious. It was not overcrowded the night we were there and enjoyed the experience. We would go back. read more

Chicken park and herb encrusted salmon just perfect. Appetizer was hummus, delicate and full of taste, great service!

Very good food and service. Only negative is indoor music much too loud and keeps repeating on a short loop.

This is a very busy location for a restaurant given that is right beside Eau Claire Mall which is a very popular destination in Calgary especially during the summer well really during any time during the year. This is specifically because it's close to princes Island Park and in the winter in the summer whatever it is a very popular destination for runs and blocks of any kind really especially for charities though. The one that I did in June and that I do every June is the MS walk. After the MS walk myself and my team of 10 wanted to grab a lunch to celebrate the completion of walking 10 km. We decided to come here as does many other teams that were participating in the MS walk. So it was not only our idea. Given where this location of a restaurant is though I feel that when there is a walk happening in the area they should know and they should be prepared to accommodate large groups because right when the lock ended they did not have enough staff for this day they were not prepared it took a very long time to seat us and I was pretty upset about that. I just feel that if you're a business in this area you know that it is a very busy and popular area and therefore you should be prepared and know when all the events are their start times there and time so that way you can accommodate people much quicker especially when it's a group of 10 etc. because you know that it's going to be a big bill and a big tip for the waitress or waiter and the facility itself. read more

Great Food, Disinterested wait staff. I always make a point of going to Joey Eau Claire whenever I'm in Calgary on business. The food is consistently great. I had the Spiced Basa followed by the Apple Pie and my coworker had the lobster revioli with the chocolate souffle to finish. Again - great food. Well prepared, well cooked. I hope the chef is well compensated. On the downside this was the first time we got poor service there. We were there for 15 min before our server came to take our beverage order. She didn't really come by to ask how the meal was or chat with us. Normally the friendly staff is the hallmark of Joey. She didn't want to really chat until she brought the credit card machine. I still believe in tipping based on service. In this case my tip reflected it. I'll likely show up on one of those poor tipper websites. read more

I absolutely love JOEY. I first came here a couple months ago, and I absolutely loved it. Steak and sushi. Can't go wrong. I came back again a few days ago for a nice dinner, and it hasn't changed. Excellent food and service in a trendy location by the Bow. They've got an excellent outdoor patio for gorgeous summer Calgary days, and a nice lounge/bar area as well if you prefer indoor seating. This time around, I asked for some recommendations. I was heavily tempted to just go with what I know - the steak and sushi, but the paella seemed to be calling out to me. I hadn't had paella before, so I thought now would be a good chance to try. I realize it's probably a very non-traditional one, but I went for it all the same. No regrets. Great combinations of fresh flavors, colors, and textures. Toasted/burnt rice at the bottom of the pan mixed with silky glutinous rice. Large shrimp and small shrimp mixed with the rice provided sweetness contrasted nicely with chorizo. Fresh peas added nice color, and the tomatoes, cilantro, and lemon added a great bright acidity, sweetness. All in all, a very well put together, enjoyable dish. I think I need to come back here again real soon! read more

Great options for food and drink menu. Service was great and didn't wait too long to get my food/drink. Was disappointed they didn't have Molten Chocolate Cake but the Apple Pie was still good. Definitely would come back again! Seeing the bill at the end when I noticed the Mojito was $11 was quite surprised and if I had known wouldn't pay that much for a drink. read more

Was in town giving a speech and decided to stop by here. Very cozy atmosphere. Extremely friendly staff. The Waitstaff frequently stopped by our table and hung out with us. Very friendly. Yes, the place has some selective hiring policies. Food: Sliders - Very good. Hot. Hit the spot. 5/5 Tuna Tacos - high grade chunk of tuna with some flavor. 4/5 Chili Chicken - crispy, crunchy, spicy, and unique - This was my favorite app. 5/5 CAB Sirloin - Very soft, very tender, and cooked as ordered. I like Calgary beef, but nothing beats Texas Ribeyes. Sorry. 4/5 Overall, this place was trendy and relaxed. I like the selection and the friendly folks. read more

My food took 40 min to come out. I texted my friend at 11:35 that i had ordered. Food arrived at my table at 12:15. And it was only the tempura roll appetizer. Something that shouldn't have taken long at all. I felt very disrespected as I was dining by myself. Tempura roll was awful, but tandoori flat bread was amazing!! Had my meal with some punto red wine and overall had myself a decent time. Ill never get over those 40 min tho. Wish I didn't have to pay for the shitty appetizer, But I ate being as hungry as I was. GUESS WHAT! They actually came back with my bill saying the rolls were on the house for that i give them 1 more star. Thank you Joeys for coming thru read more

Friendly service and pretty good food! You could do a lot lot worse than a burger here. But a pretty interesting multicultural menu! read more

I went for happy hour drinks and snacks at JOEY Eau Claire last night and had an amazing experience thanks to our server, Nicole. She was so friendly and kept our wine glasses topped up at all times. The gyoza and yam fries were delicious, and the Le Fou rose was so good we had to order a second bottle. The manager, Chelsey, also stopped by our table to say hello, which was a really nice touch. I'll definitely be spending a lot of time on the JOEY patio this summer! read more

The cream rises to the top when faced with adversity. The atmosphere does not smack of pandemic but of hope. The staff are genuinely happy and optimistic. So naturally the food follows. Masks off to the Mgmt and staff for making the world feel normal again. Love it!! read more

What's not to like? Great service great food. Awesome house salad and chicken souvlaki was excellent. Maybe a little thick on the pita. Yam fries were awesome. Servers had a great attitude and very friendly. Glad I tried this place read more

Joey is probably my favourite of the "upscale chains". This location in particular is great. You can park in the lot or one of the side streets most days. The nice thing is that Eau Claire is a little bit quieter than the downtown core itself. It's a good place for all of my meetings, whether business or just personal to hang out. Service is consistent so I know we aren't Likely to have issues when I schedule lunch meetings, for example. They keep a focused but varied menu. I haven't tried it all but most of it is quite tasty. Bonus points for the patio when it's nicer in the spring/summer. read more

Things have changed over the years. Joeys -Earls and now "Joey" plain and simple. This after work place for the well-employed is appropriately over-priced and plies and equally over-tired menu. The menu matched the service -- tired and uninspired. Our server was "uninspired"  yet consistent. Every 7 mins she'd swing by and ask if the drinks were good... eye-contact was kept to a minimum which was cold. Our server introduced herself as Jannette --- but never once did she look anyone at the table in the eye. Is no stars an option. Bill total 55$ 5$ tip. read more

Had dinner here, and I have a gluten allergy, and have a pescatarian diet. They messed up on the order accommodated very nicely, gave us a gift card and made us feel really really great and appreciated. Even though they made a mistake will definitely come here again. Vibes are amazing. Played amazing music all night and took care of us. read more

OK I don't usually like going to "chain" restaurants but I have to admit the food here is reeeeeally good. We tried the calamari and sushi cones to start and they were both fantastic. Some of the best calamari I've ever had with a tasty batter and dipping sauce. I ordered the Katsu Chicken Peanut Salad and was surprised to find that the salad was topped on a large piece of chicken. Very different! You have to cut the chicken piece with a knife and fork as you eat the salad. The miso ginger dressing on it was the best part so tasty and went really well with the thinly sliced fresh veggies. read more

We walked by the patio on Canada Day after the Lunch rush and wanted to stop in for a drink. Many long high tops were open yet there was a 1/2 hour wait. Not necessary lots of better patios around who want the business. read more

Went here last week with my kids, had a wonderful meal! Can't remember the name of our waitress but she was very sweet and attentive. Will be back again! Parking was a little tricky due to location, but we are downtown! LOL read more

Service was incredible! They have a menu specific for gluten free or vegan which made it super easy to choose what to eat. The server was very well informed on all ingredients that could contain allergens and would advise accordingly. The food that all of us ordered was delicious, cooked to order and hit the spot. I would highly recommend and their prices are very reasonable for the service. read more

Yummy steak! The mashed potatoes were in spring roll wrappers! The veggies were so good I ordered more. Staff was cheerful and I had pleasant conversation with the hostess The laitte was a nice finish., no room for dessert:) I like this place and will come again. read more

Our Team had to work one Saturday, but there was still time for a leisurely late Lunch on the Patio at Joey's. It was a warm Indian Summer day and who knows how long it would be until the weather would "Fall Off the Cliff"? Service was friendly and attentive, the Lunch conversation was stimulating, and my Lobster Grill Cheese sandwich was delicious. Life is Good! read more

Just like the other reviewers said: delicious food, but horrible service. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with dirty rice and it was phenomenal. The service though, sucked bawlz. I was there with my bf and his uncle, and the damn waitress kept looking at my bf the entire time she was talking to us. Never mind when she's taking my orders, she glances at me for a split second, and smiles at my bf for 5 minutes. Come on now, can we be less obvious here? "Anything to DRINK?" she screeched, looking straight at my bf who was already drinking Coke but I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed she was talking to ALL of us, since I had NOT YET ordered anything. On top of all these shenanigans, when I harmlessly commented that the carrot in my bf's salad tasted pickled, she tries to make a quasi-joke calling me a "CRAZY GIRL!!!". Ummm I'm pretty sure that to be making jokes with me you have to have first built some rapport with me, no? Very annoying. In conclusion, if you're a dude, go there. Food is great, and the waitresses will practically give you a lap dance. If you're a girl, you can still go and enjoy the food, but be prepared for all kinds of stupidity. read more

I really like the mood of this place. It is located right in the hustle and bustle that is Eau Claire. As a result, it felt lively. It was seat yourself and really laid back. I ordered the house salad and added chargrilled shrimp. It was such a fresh salad. So I decided to order the Apple crisps as a dessert because of course dessert pairs really well with salad! What I loved most was the maple ice cream that came with my dessert. Overall this was a really good meal. read more

This place is okay. The table we got seated at that had salt (or sugar) all over it was okay. The service was okay. Props to their site design for their menu *not* being a .pdf file. The simple green salad was delicious and filling, loaded with almonds and craisins. My brother asked for eleventy billion changes to his Viva Salad and actually got everything he ordered. I like that Joey's has quite a few vegetarian and vegan options. No corkage at this place, so don't bring your own wine bottle like we did ;). read more

This is a pretty solid place for a lunch meeting. The management seem to have the place running like a well oiled machine. Consistent service and food comes out quickly. Unfortunately, the food, while good, is nothing to write home about. The beer menu seems to have shrunk a bit and the prices are starting to tip the scales. But you can't go wrong for a business lunch. Great patio, too. read more

I gave this place a pretty bad review the last time I was reviewing because the service was sooo unacceptably terrible. I ended up getting a half assed message from a manager there about coming in for a another go. I called back several times to follow up on that and got no where. Le sigh. None the less, I do happen to still go to Joey's at least once a week (if not many more times) simply because they are close to my office. I have to say, their menu has come a long way. They have some uber delicious dishes that satisfy my health-conscious needs, which makes me very happy. Their fries are unreal, their lettuce wraps are amazing, the salad list is so creative, and let me tell you about their drinks: 10/10! Best in the city in my opinion! They've really done their homework on what makes a really fun cocktail. I always just say "surprise me" and am never disapointed! Colorful, fruity, alcoholic (key!), amazing. This is really why I keep going back. My favorite drink: Raspberry/Blueberry Super Nova Voda Soda. Yummm. The reason I'm giving them a 4 star is because unfortuntely the service still blows. However, I did have an amazing server for the first time when I was unsuspectinly there on Saturday enjoying their patio. Maybe that's the trick, come on the weekends to get good service. Typically i'm there for the week day lunch rush and it's a painful process. First of all, they don't take reservations which drives me insane. Second, you have to be there by 11:15 if you want a table, another thing that drives me crazy. But I guess why should they care since clearly they are full. Anyways, we get there at 11:15, and the servers just seem to be so overwhelmed that it even stresses me out!! None the less, their food and drinks keep me coming back!! read more

This is actually a 3.5, but that is a minor detail. Joey's is like Earl's is like Moxie's etc etc. Decent food, for a decent price. I tend to go here to meet my old work crew for drinks on Friday. They have lots of yummy drinks, most are way too sweet for my taste, but none the less, there is always wine. I had a good salad, typical, goat cheese, strawberries, candied nut sort of thing. I don't have a lot to say, as noted, it's good, does the trick, nothing fancy. read more

I only come to Joey's for their burgers and I must say that their burgers have almost made me cry on occasion. I don't think I've ever had a better burger anywhere else! I DREAM about these burgers and dedicate poems to these burgers, and my boyfriend even got me a giftcard for Joey's so I can eat these burgers. WOOHOO I LOVE THESE BURGERS!!!!! read more

Went for lunch. Service was quite good. Food, although not outstanding, was adequate. What did get my attention however were 2 things: Every server and host/hostess was under 30, slim and attractive. I asked about their hiring practices, however was given very evasive answers. Makes me think they are likely highly discriminatory. Second observation was server s hair. Many had long hair, hanging over food plates.i even witnessed one servers long hair go into a water jug. Was very off putting. Kinda, really gross. Servers hair should be pulled back. I certainly do not want it hanging over my food. read more

Came here first for dinner then twice for lunch. Great food ordered apps fried cauliflower-a bit too spicy & gyoza- simply delicious. Service was ok not great.
