Messa Joe's Taphouse & Grill -- Review July 16, 2026…read more From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a pleasantly cool and comfortable atmosphere. We were greeted by the same waitress, Jo-Jo, who had served us previously. She remembered us and even pointed out the table where we sat during our last visit. Her energetic and welcoming demeanor set a fantastic tone for our meal. We ordered Bellinis and asked for assistance with specific dietary requirements, specifically a request for no salt. Our waitress was incredibly accommodating. She arranged for the chicken breast and prawns on the Joe's House Salad to be prepared without salt or spices, with the peanut lime dressing served on the side. My Jerk Chicken Wrap was also excellent. Everything was prepared perfectly to our liking, and the staff even kept our take-out pizza warm while we were detained a bit. We deeply appreciated the outstanding service and accommodations. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

This was a fun place to celebrate Christmas! The ambiance is like Christmas blew up in there. It…read moreyou need some cheer, seek this place. We felt lifted even though we didn't drink any alcohol. Our daughter has been long term in the hospital and we needed a break from there. This place was a great distraction. Every inch of the place is full of Christmas Cheer. Super fun. 10 out of 5 for ambiance. Our server was prompt and friendly. He did great recommendations and made sure our waters were filled. Menu is pretty typical for bar food. We decided to go with the Christmas menu. I went with the ROAST BEAST BURGER - Hand pressed chuck patty, shaved roast beef, herbed cream cheese, waffle fries, caramelized onion mayo, arugula, onion crusted house bun, side of fries. While my husband went with the KRINGLE CRUNCH CHICKEN SANDO - Buttermilk fried chicken breast, buttery stuffing, Swis cheese,cranberry sauce, garlic sage mayo, arugula,side of turkey gravey with a side of fries. Both came hot and fresh. Bit we both agreed mine was better. It was super filling. Try this place, particularly during the Christmas season if you need some cheer.

I was staying in the area and went to this place based on the reviews. I to this spot two days in a…read morerow. It was walking distance to my hotel and it's one of the only bars on the strip close enough to my hotel that was open at 2PM. I tried the Cobb Salad! It was good but there wasn't enough dressing for the big salad. (I was only interested in the ranch not the other dressing that accompanied the salad). I asked for more ranch and I was charged $3 for it. (They never told me I was getting charged for it until I got the bill). They also forgot to put the boiled eggs on the salad. When I informed the bartender that the eggs weren't in the salad he gave them to me in a plate after I finished my salad, so it was a bit too late. I still tipped 20% but it would have been have been nice to at least get a small discount for forgetting the eggs. The first day I tried the roast beef sandwich. It was delicious but it could have used a bit more meat but other than that it was really good. Also maybe a bit more horse radish. I had the Ceaser salad as a side and it was superb. The fish and chips were also amazing! They perfected the batter. Chicken burger also amazing. The brioche bun tasted freshly baked. I would have given 5 stars if I wasn't charged $3 for a side of extra ranch dressing and forgetting the eggs which literally makes the Cobb salad. Good spot if you have never been the Whyte ave area. They had a great happy hour as well. If there were a few healthy options on the HH menu I probably would have tried something out.

We went here for dinner as a group of 7 (my boyfriend, his family and I). The place is sort of…read moredive-y and there isn't much to say about the atmosphere. We pulled together some tables and made enough room for all of us. The waitress was pretty quick to get to us and get our drink order. The food seemed to take forever - maybe we were super hungry, but either way, it did take quite a while to get our food in front of us. When the food did come, it was ok. It wasn't mind blowing, nor was it horrible. It was regular old pub food. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here (especially because it is super far from my house) but I wouldn't ever refuse to come here. The place was not packed and it was a Saturday night, so you can tell it does not get very busy here. Go and enjoy a burger from this neighbourhood pub, but don't expect anything amazing.

There are not one, but two patios, including one that is dog-friendly. Inside, it's huge, with bar, booth, and table seating. I enjoyed a steak sandwich one one of the patios recently. Prices are reasonable and the service was great. I will definitely be back when I am in this neck of the woods.

Way too much batter on the shrimp (left the hard part on in the batter) & scallops (which were small). Another thing to be aware of is the auto tipping.
