Joey's Seafood Restaurants Crowfoot

My wife and I received the coupon by email buy one dinner get one for free. We live in Cochrane so we drove into the Calgary Crowfoot location. We stood at the front entrance with another couple for almost 15 minutes no one came to seat us. The other couple left. Finally, when the gentleman came to seat us, he sat us at a dirty table. There were six or seven tables with dirty dishes on them not taken away. After being sitting for 15 minutes no one came to greet us or drop off menus. One customer complained to him about the bathrooms having no paper towel. It went right over his head. This is one of the dirtiest restaurants I have ever been at. I guess we are spoiled in Cochrane customers are treated better. We got up and left after 15 minutes of waiting at the table.

I was excited to go back to this restaurant having been here many times as a child, but I can honestly say this is the worst fish and chips I've had in my life.

I'm sure the owner/staff are nice people. Unfortunately, it seems that whoever is running this joint (20yrs later) is completely disorganized and does not prioritize the food they are selling whatsoever, nor the service. Based on other reviews going back years, the short staffing is an ongoing problem

The fact that the door won't close fully without being forced and a constant cold draft comes into the waiting area should have been enough of an indication to not spend your money here

The fries taste like they came out of an oven along with being slightly stale. For instance, the fries at Costco you can buy and bake in the oven taste better and are far more satisfying

The fish was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. It's 75% batter and 25% fish (I'm not sure it's even fish that was inside some of it, just this chewy textured white stuff, see attached photo)

The portions are TINY. I'm talking the size of maybe a small chicken strip from Wendy's (probably even less actual meat to be honest) and mostly hardened batter with a texture I've never seen the likes of. More than half of it I had to spit out. I've never encountered anything like this at a seafood restaurant

On top of that, the restaurant itself was a complete disaster. 1 server, a room full of people coming and going (because they weren't being served), and a lot of people leaving with unhappy looks on their faces.

If you're going to run a promotion to bolster your business and attract new customers, and this is the result, I wouldn't be surprised to see this location close for good. I'm honestly shocked they're still in business. You could tell by the look on the customers faces who were leaving that they most likely wouldn't be coming back

I'm sure the owner will reply to this and attempt to rectify the situation with some free food in exchange for an updated review. Don't bother. You'll have enough complaints on your hands at the end of this that attempting to make up for it will only result in a worse outcome. Please take this advice, fix things, and then reach out when you're prepared to deliver! (If you so wish).

This was not the Joey’s of old.

I remember the brightly lit, in and out style of Joey’s, those days are gone. This was softly lit, had booths and invited you to stay, talk and enjoy good food. We were there for a birthday so taking photos was hard without faces.

The good luck cats at the front were cool though.

Next and full disclosure, we are vegetarian. This Joey’s has options. The Buddha Bowl and Bangkok Bowls with crispy tofu were fresh, filled and friggin delicious. Our fish eaters at the table gave the usual thumbs up. Fries were chunky and the Cesar salads with chicken went super fast.

Our server Sean was mindful, polite and let us celebrate our friend’s day.

Thanks Joey’s!

The worst service if only i can give 0 stars; i like their food but worst service. Why would you call yourself a restaurant if your server is also your cook! So one man show? ! Your food are just all fried, it should be a quick comfort food and yet we will wait for an hour before we can eat, when you only have 3 customers? !
It is because à restaurant should have a full staff. Dont open if you will not have enough staff! Close it!

Please do not serve lumpy gravy or make nasty comments about Edmontonians. We are human beings too.

Ordered online. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY. $25 "Shrimp Feast" is so pathetic its not even a meal. They didn't even send one of my sides and a tiny portion of shrimp. The "10oz" lobster bisque my hubby ordered is 6oz on the scale. Save your money and order elsewhere.

Came in due to a great recommendation from a co worker. Food as mediocre, not good enough to bring us back. What really made the experience uncomfortable was being able to hear the waiters talk about the customers, as our table was close to the kitchen. One waiter was saying how great the tip was on a take out order. Good enough for how ever much tartar sauce they wanted and according to the waiter, a "quicky out back. " They need to be aware we can hear what they can say and it makes things awkward. Not a good experience.

I really think your reply "sucks". Not sure a business owner should b advocating a "quickie out back" as something to be celebrated.

3 huge pollock tartar for each lots of fries personal friendly service
Worth the drive and short wait

The food was good, although it was cold by the time I got home (5 min drive). The restaurant seems a little run down but the service was great! This place could probably use a remodel as it wasn't very inviting had we been dining in.

Thank you for the great service!
