As someone who has been going to joeys out west and here for approximately 6 years. Getting the same thing every time (with a couple modifications, but nothing crazy) I expected this to go smoothly, however we were told the menu shouldn't be "modified"... if your paying 13 dollars a drink, it's very simple.. The server went "missing" every time we ordered something for like 20 minutes at a time. Finally we asked a hostess to get our bills after waiting 30 mins and we still couldn't see our server. It was the worst service I've had in years of being at a joeys. I hope this improves due to making customers happy as that's the most important part. Aside, food and drinks tasted great. read more

I went to Joey Markville on a Tuesday night for a girls night out and we had an awesome time. We didn't make reservations so we had to wait for a table. After 20 mins, we were seated. The service was excellent, every hostess or servers we saw/met were extremely friendly. I ordered the Steak and Mushroom Demi as the entree and asked it to be medium rare. I was very impressed that the steak was actually cooked medium rare, just like I asked. Usually at lot of times, restaurants tend to over cook steak... but not this Joey :) I would definitely come back again! read more

Visited on Feb 15 for a 7pm reservation. We were seated promptly with a server attending to us within minutes of being seated. Service was excellent, decour was splendid, food was superb, bathrooms clean, and to top it off manager Melissa sat with us for a few minutes conversing with us to get our thoughts on the service among other things. Waiting area was packed.... My suggestion is if you plan on visiting make a reservation to avoid lengthy wait times. I would give this restaurant a 4.5 out of 5. Reason for the score being slightly below perfect is that our server gave us the wrong description for a meal. To her credit she realised before us finalising our order. Apart from that slight hiccup Sasha (server) was great and gave excellent suggestions for dessert. Her suggestions for dessert was very exciting to the palate..... We are still smiling read more

Love the room A wide open concept that is classic with a touch of fun. We sat in the lounge and truly enjoyed the seating and the quality of the furnishing. Food was a little slow but of good quality and somewhat unique. The Beers on tap are of a good variety. The only thing that I was surprised with was the overall price. read more

I love this place. Great atmosphere, food and drinks. The bar is big and open so you can go for drinks or sit and eat in the dining room. We had to wait a few minutes for a table of 2 on a weeknight. Our service was a bit slow, we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to see us. The manager ended up getting us drinks, but when the server got there she was very nice and pleasant. I had a sangria and butter chicken to eat- it was amazing! My date had a steak and said it was cooked perfectly. Will definitely be going back read more

I really enjoy this restaurant in other locations and its a great date night. Wonderful atmosphere. I have not had a bad thing on the menu. The Markville location can get really cold with all the windows slid away. Are there twice when this was the case and it really ruined the experience. read more

My GFs and I frequent this location often as it always has good vibes and it's a great place for happy hour. Best place to sit is at the bar (if you can find seats) as the servers are more attentive and easier to flag down. I've been a fan of this chain since the locations opened in Toronto. Worst part is that they change up their menu and some of my favourite items such as the donuts got discontinued :( I love the protein style burger here. It tastes exactly like a healthy Big Mac! Also a big fan of their ahi tuna salad, fettuccine Alfredo, salmon entree, lettuce wraps with chicken or shrimp and most importantly, their key lime pie... I usually don't eat pie but this one is to die for! The tangy and sweet is just perfect with a pie crust that is just the right amount of crunch. The whipped cream that they top it off with is made in house and it's so fluffy! Must try! read more

JOEY Markville - Key lime pie. Best ever! - Canadian (New) Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Very nice place to eat. Came here for company dinner. It was fantastic. The steak was so good, the environment and service of the restaurant is also very good. Utensils are really clean. It's definitely a 5 star experience and I would recommend for everyone who come across looking for a good and high class restaurant in Markham. read more

It was fine. I guess. The food was good. The service was excellent. The portions were on the small size. Why does this chain exist? I paid $20 for the ahi tuna club with yam frites. Come on. It was good. Just not $20 good! My girlfriend had a $13 glass of wine. Just a single glass, not a half litre. These are Toronto prices, in Markham. There are so many amazing non-chain restaurants nearby. Can't say I see any reason to return. read more

Holly and Alex, the most fantastic friggin server and hostess combo ever made possible, a match made in heaven! Came here to celebrate a special occasion for a very close friend of mine and Alex and Holly took the best care of us ever possible! Treated our entire party with the upmost care and passion any living human can ever ask for. Got the favorite Ahi Tuna sandwich and tasted fantastic as always! The Japanese gyozo appetizer was delicious with the sauce, and it was just an overall amazing experience at Joey's Markham that I'll never forget. The atmosphere was superb, and Joey's Markville will be the location I will ever come to in the future. Alex and Holly, if you're reading this, I know I keep mentioning your names but you two were absolutely amazing and no amount of words can ever express to you both how grateful I am for the highest level of care tonight. Thank you so much! read more

Loved the service and the food. Fun place to hang out. They were super sweet for my little boy. That always scores extra points :) Food was delicious. I had the chicken peanut salad. Yum read more

Been here at times for some drinks and dessert but ate here once for dinner and wont do it again. Dinky tuna, microscopic lobster grilled cheese, chicken with wantons, why waste money and time here. Buying the atmosphere way too much and the servers not too friendly. Wont be back for dinner. Maybe for drinks. read more

This place just has a great way of disappointing me, over and over again. The food is mediocre. There's really nothing else to say about it. The food at the other Joey locations are better. As for the service.. anyone who has been here can attest to the hair pulling, drive you nuts lack of service. However, if you come with a man who looks like he has money to spend.. you'll get decent but annoying service. I have come on several occasions with women and every single time I get the same terrible service. It takes half an hour for a girl to come and bat her eyelashes at me. She spends five minutes telling you how your order is amazing and how it has some magical ingredients. Cool, go put my order in. Then she pulls a magic trick and disappears for an hour leaving your food at the window. When you FINALLY get your food.. they forget something crucial like cutlery or an accompanying sauce. You then have to go on a mission to track down one of her friends to get it for you. Finally, you eat and another hour goes by and she's no where to be found. When you finally track someone down to pay your bill, she magically reappears! She tries to make you feel like she hasn't deserted you and cares for you to get a big fat tip and rolls her eyes in anger if you give her the nothing (or little to nothing, i'm not cruel) she deserves. If you come with a man who looks like he has money, get wait to see another side of these women. They will flirt, upsell, compliment and talk just about anything to make you think you're her number one customer. She will spend all of her time checking up on you and refilling your drinks and telling you how awesome your table is and eventually she will come with the bill and compliment you more in hopes that you'll give up your lifesavings because she is pretty and you're a man.. and obviously a fool. Maybe I am too harsh. I can't generalize for the whole restaurant.. but hey.. I have been there a lot and had this happen every time. This is not worth spending your money on. Even Pickle Barrel is better. read more

Good for a chain restaurant. Came for lunch today. Staff very friendly and accommodating to us with a toddler. They had a lobster type of clip on chair for my daughter which worked but it's cloth not sure how clean it is. We started with some torched sushi which we were impressed by and wouldn't have thought its from a chain restaurant. They had a plain cheese pasta for my picky child which she ate. I had the crusted salmon which was nice and moist. My husband had the tacos which he thought was good. read more

My boyfriend and I consider Joey's our go-to for a nicer local date night, but have been somewhat disappointed lately. Last night we had a reservation for 8pm and knew the second we walked in the door that we would not be seated on time- the place was packed. After about a 10-15 min wait (despite the reservation) we were seated at a table directly outside of the kitchen. Not a great setting for the nice dinner we were hoping for. I will say that the service was great, our meals were both delicious, and our waitress was awesome. Lately it seems that each time we come to Joey's there is some room for improvement. The time before this, our waitress was totally unprofessional, and the time prior to that we waited for our meals upwards of 25 mins. Hoping to see improvement at this location as it really is so convenient and the food quality is consistently good. read more

Seriously this place have the worst service. The staff need to go get retrain or get a new job.

After last night I won't be returning. I've been a pretty regular customer up until now. Joey Markville is not a good option for group functions. The staff was not accommodating. We waited 3 hours literally. I understand that there will be a wait for a large group without reservations, but the amount of attitude we received before being seated is inexcusable. We saw plenty of groups being seated before us. 2 hours in I asked the hostess to split our group into 2 smaller groups so we could be seated sooner, the hostess responded "your table is billed". I asked what she meant, and she responded "your table is billed". Then I said, I don't understand what you mean, and she said "the table.. you're going to sit at... is billed". All the while the hostess beside her was laughing at our conversation. I didn't find it funny. I don't understand why no one wanted to help. Over an hour later we were finally seated. By the time we got our seats I was already in a bad mood. I asked for a medium rare steak but received raw. I hadn't eaten the whole day after working a 10 hour shift- the last thing i wanted to do was send my food back... I was starving. My friends convinced me to send it back because it wasn't edible.. after getting it back my appetite was gone. The staff kinda embarrassed me by making a scene. They asked if my steak was ok, I said yeah, then they wouldn't take yeah as an answer because I wasn't eating anymore.. I practically had to shoo them away. The food was fine, my appetite wasn't. A couple of my friends also were upset with the (lack of) service. Everyone's food came out except for two people's. Their server forgot what they ordered so they had to order again. Anyway I'm not coming back. I was really excited because Joey is one of my favourite chains but i'm guessing I was only into this place when they had the temporary staff from Alberta. Those girls knew what they were doing and it showed. read more

Horrible service every time. The food isn't bad, but for its price point, I expect better service than the swiss chalet across from it. The Joeys at Don Mills is much more pleasant and welcoming. Been here 3 times, once was impulsive, so my party was there in tees and jeans. We were greeted by dirty looks and crummy attitude from the moment we got there, as if we were peasants not worthy of eating there. Another time I went with my bf. The waitress got his order wrong, give him steak and sushi instead of steak with mushrooms. Was extremely rude and accused us of saying steak and "shrooms" which lead to her mishearing. When our actual food came after another 20mins, instead of letting us eat, she tried to engage in random irrelevant chitchat, in hopes to save her tips. Not once did she apologize. In all honesty, the food is not bad. But it isn't special enough to make up for the horrible service when there are comparable options 5mins drive away. read more

Not as big as the Don mills location but the servers are polite and friendly and the food is just as tasty. Can't go wrong here. The vibe the ambiance and the atmosphere as a whole is always pleasant. It's a great spot to catch up with friends or come out to after work. Almost all the seafood dishes are great read more

I came here for the first time for a birthday dinner with my family this year. First off, this place is modern, classy, and downright sexy and they seem to carry this trend over to their hiring. Honestly, it was a little intimidating walking in, so dress appropriately I guess. This surprised me a little because it's attached to Markville Mall and the average mall shopper would probably be underdressed. The food is plated and presented wonderfully, but didn't match expectation in taste that it created in presentation. I had a rib and roast chicken meal and while the ribs were fine (honestly nothing special though), the chicken and mashed potatoes really underwhelmed. The chicken was flavourless and greasy and the mashed potatoes were bland and boring. Some of my guests had steak meals with the 'crispy mashed potatoes' which looked awesome (think spring rolls filled with mashed potatoes), so why wouldn't these come with the rib combo? Weird. Anyways, overpriced with an amazing presentation, but not necessarily the substance to match. read more

Not a bad Joeys location. Though there is no entrance directly from mall so you have to exit mall to enter from the parking lot entrance. Wasn't too busy during dinner time so there was no wait for us :) read more

Some friends and I were there for my birthday tonight and overall it was okay. But because of certain circumstances, I don't want come back... Would be 3.5-4 stars... At the end of dinner, they brought out a dessert for me that said happy birthday on it. It was the butterscotch thing, it was too rich and the texture and flavour wasn't my cup of tea so I didn't end up eating it. I also wasn't up for dessert at that point but it was nice. However at the end of the night, they had added the dessert to my boyfriend's bill. My boyfriend didn't want to make a big deal about it on my birthday so we left it. But with that, I don't think I would come back to the restaurant. It's the principle of the thing. If we were going to pay for it, I would've preferred to pick for my dessert. No one at the table had asked for it either. So it was very frustrating to see that happen. I've never been charged for a birthday dessert at any restaurant ever... Service: 4/5 My reservation was for 13 and at 6:30, my party wasn't completely there until 7:30 and they were very patient about it. I apologized several times, and they assured me it was no issue. The only thing was the wait took a while but we did get all the food at once so it wasn't that bad. They were considerate and very friendly. Food: 3.5/5 For the food, it's nothing special but it's tasty for what you get. After eating there multiple times, the menu is pretty decent. It's good for a chain restaurant. Things are generally well seasoned, a little overpriced. read more

One of the best restaurants ever hands down. Always like the atmosphere when I come here and the service is top notch. Food is always amazing can never go wrong when u order something from here food is always cooked right and tastes great. Excellent job guys keep up the great work. read more

I never have a bad experience! Always friendly and efficient service. My top menu recommendations: chicken tandoori flatbread, Mezze plate, any of the salads (seriously), rainbow roll, VEGGIE BURGER OMG, lobster grilled cheese!! read more

Well...I started off liking this place until I found someones gel nail extension on my dessert. Pretty disgusting, so take a close look at your food when you go here. Good luck. read more

Our fav spot for date night! Sushi and steak is our go to! Their apple pie with maple ice cream is so good! Cocktails are great here, one of my fav is the elderflower Collins. Service is always great! read more

The atmosphere of the place is great. The waiters/waitress are extremely nice. However, the food is on the higher price considering the food you will receive. The steak and sushi was around 30 after tax and tips and an average girl like me wouldn't even get full on it. You get a few pieces of the steak with sushi on the side. The steak was super salty and no where to my likings. I also got the sweet potato fries priced around $12 after tax and tips which would be considered on a higher price since you do get a really small portion. Overall, I would say that their food are all on the saltier side and I might consider going back just to try other things but for now, searching for a better restaurant seems better priority. read more

Always came here with families to enjoy their steak. This time we ordered BBQ salmon rice, it was sweet and sour one, a little bit spicy but mixed together very delicious. Cesar salad with yum fries match so good as well. Service was friendly as always, will recommend to folks. read more

We wanted to try Joeys in Markville because all the other Joeys told us they have a 50 yo 90 minute wait. We still had to wait but it was a bit less time . It was 30 minutes. The hostess service was a bit clumsy because they must be new at this , they were courteous. We sat at the bar area . Our server was not too prompt to get our water .. We ordered sliders for appetizer and ordered fish tacos and toasted grill cheese with lobster sandwich and a side order of Caesar salad. The appetizer was good ..a bit heap on the potato chips. The fish tacos was okay but the grilled cheese sandwich was horrible, Sadly it was salty and we could not finish eating it. The Caesar salad is a scam because it is the size of a 4 oz bowl. It was $8 dollars and it had not Bacon bits or Parmesan slice. It was salty and soggy. After the food was dropped off, we did not see our server. Maybe because we don't drink alcohol, we get bad service. It was a Busy Friday night but joeys at york dale or don mills are much better. We observed that another table had much better service. Maybe they think Asians don't tip but what happened to equality of service. We tip according to service. So their tip is the average 15% . Our server never asked whether we want dessert, we got the bill after we ate and left. Overall, bad expensive food with mediocre service. I will wait at yorkdale and don mills any time read more

Compared to all the Joey's around the GTA, this one is by far the worst. Nothing is consistent here. We saw a table beside us order the same dish, and they were both plated completely different. The ambience and layout of this Joey's does not compare to any of the others I've visited in the surrounding areas. For the prices they charge, you might aswell go to Swiss Chalet across the parking lot. Do yourself a favor, and drive to the Shops at Don Mills instead, if you want the full Joey's experience. read more

Honestly, this place sucks. I've been to the JOEY'S in downtown and it can't compared. The dishes were lukewarm and the tacos were drenched in salt. We had to drink two cups of water just from that dish! My friend got so sick after eating their pasta. She spent all night in the washroom! Luckily, I had only had a little bit of the pasta since it lacked flavor. I felt like the pasta was steamed in oil and the tomatoes and arugula were just decorations. There were hardly any pieces of chicken. And they called it Chicken Tatalligate The kitchen needs to improve on their plating speed too. I watched the guy let our food just sit there. It certainly wasn't worth the price I paid for .We were better off at a hk style cafe or even PICKLE BARREL. I was extremely disappointed. I guess if I ever decide to go to Joey's again, it will be the one near EATONS. read more

Awesome staff and really awesome foods. It is pricy but worth every pennies. Any Ahi tuna dishes are excellent. The tuna fish is so fresh and it does not leave you any bad fishie taste. I also recommend their veggie burger + yam fries. I was highly surprised by how good it taste. I tried alot of veggie burgers (Toronto) and this one has a good ranking. The patty has this beautiful favour, and texture. I heard that this place is always pack, but it was not too crazy when I went (Sunday night). I want to give complement to all female waitresses. It is part of their uniform to wear heels on job. They have to bear all the pain to serve us. BRAVO! read more

The manager was kind enough to provide a gift card due to a previous experience that left a lot to be desired. The second time I came in, during happy hour, the service was consistent, the drinks were cold and food was delicious. If you're a sushi fan definitely try the seared salmon, you won't be disappointed. Definitely a better all around experience. Will be back. read more

Met up with a bunch of friends for a farwell dinner since they were heading for China. Didn't have a reservation but they got us in and seated super fast. Waitress was there in less than 5 minutes taking drink orders and checking in. Table of 8 and everyone had something different. The food was great, the service was up to par and on the whole the entire event was a great way to send off friends. I'd go again without question. read more

Why do ppl compare Joey's to Pickle Barrel? Of course Joey's is better, it is a up scale version. Higher end chain classier theme. Both are from the same corporation, the food at Joey's isn't any greater then PB. It's all about the atmosphere that make chain restaurants food taste the way you want it to be. If everything in the kitchen is done from scratch..(not prepackaged) it's worth reviewing. Food 3/5 Service 2/5 read more

My charming boyfriend and I went to Joey's Markville with my friends for a going-away dinner. The food was alright I guess. I had the Sashimi Tuna Salad ($18.50) and my boyfriend had the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo ($18.50). I forgot what my friends had, frankly I don't care :P We shared a couple of appetizers. We had the Ahi Tuna Tacos, which my friends enjoyed. I just prefer soft tacos so I didn't have any. I really enjoyed the Yam Fries ($9) as did the rest of the table. For dessert, my boyfriend and I shared the Baked to Order Apple Pie, which redeemed the night. The only thing I recommend is the Apple Pie ($8.50) with Maple Ice Cream, which was quite tasty. read more

Typical higher end restaurant. I ordered the steak and sushi and we barely full. I think it's a cool chill spot to go for drinks but not so much for a real meal. read more

This is my go-to place for my girlfriends' and I to catch up and chit-chat while having dinner and drinks. I love the ambience, food and service of all the Joey's location and because this is close to home, it's an added plus. Every time I'm here I am immediately greeted by hostesses that are very welcoming and seated immediately without any wait time. I've came here a couple times and I've never been disappointed. I like that they have daily drinks specials and that this location has a patio area, which is especially nice during the summer. I love coming here on Saturdays' as their drinks special for that day is their summer Sangria, which is red wine based (I'm not usually a red wine drinker) but it's the most delicious Sangria I have ever had. Absolutely a must try! The last time I came with my girlfriend I ended up getting my usual, Tandoori Chicken Flatbread which is made with chutney, red onion, cilantro, yogurt. The chicken is always tender with the right amount of sauces and flavours, and surprisingly filling. This is about the only thing I've ordered from this particular Joey's but I would definitely recommend it, even though it is an appetizer I usually order it as my main course. I'm waiting until my next visit to Joey's so I can try a different dish. Overall, I would without question visit this location next time you are in the area or just finished shopping at Markville and need a bite to eat. read more

Food is good. Service is meh. When the drink takes longer than the food, I assume something is wrong. Waitress seems to ignore me when I call her over. read more
