We were wait listed so had to wait to get seated, and the service was really slow, even when they didn't have that many tables to serve. I enjoyed the shrimp and fish tacos, but it's a very small portion for the price, and the hot sauce …
One of our favourite restaurants in Toronto! Superb quality of food and great service (even during the last minutes)! Thanks for always providing us with memorable experiences!
Good service; good attention to Covid protocols. Tasty food and lots of menu choices. 5 star restrooms????
Extremely long wait on friday, and do you seriously call this Steak Frites? Looks more like a nugget. We've been here several times, the last is the worst experience, definitely will not come back
Great food, and great customer service. Thank you! I order beef sliders, and steak meal with potatoes and asparagus. Well worth a visit.
I like this location and I usually go there with friends. The burger is good and it comes with lots of fries and I love it. Last night I tried their apple pie with maple ice cream and it was delicious and loved it. Although I don’t like very sweet and next time I’ll ask them to give me the caramel sauce on the side. Our server was very nice and caring. His name was Amir. He did his best to make sure we are happy with our orders and it was impressive. The atmosphere is good and their chairs are comfy too. Recommend:)

Our time was delightful!!! The service was very good! We asked steak frites and Bombay butter chicken, both amazing.The cocktail was superb, I ordered New Manhattan.
The food was good enough and better than what I expected, nice environment and very friendly staff. The service was fast and everywhere was pretty clean. I have added this one to the list my favorite restaurant
Food is excellent. Drinks are good. Service was great. A little on the pricey side, but aside from that everything was very good.
Bombay curry chicken with the perfect amount of spice and presentation ; very good service. Maybe a larger selection on drafts......
Visited Joey for lunch at this location with a group of friends. The service was swift and the food was good.
Dinner
Love their Happy Hour Menu!!!! Love the atmosphere, perfect for a Saturday night out..delicious food!!!! Try the California chicken burger YUMMY!!!

This place is fine. Food is good, but way overpriced. Even for happy hour, youre still paying $17 for the equivalent of a Wendy-sized hamburger.
Atmosphere, staff and food all good
I don’t normally give bad reviews but my experience from last time I visited was close to the worst If not the worst food experience and quality I’ve had in any restaurants. First off let me say that I’ve been to joeys on their many locations many times in the past and they have been fairly consistent with food quality and great services. People will/may take this review negatively and try to defend the great quality and experiences they’ve had with Joeys. As I said they’ve been fairly consistent in my past visits. But the last one was just terrible. Service wise (Eliza) was bang on amazing with her professionalism and attention. She did an amazing job.What I could not really take was the food we ordered. It had a rotten meat smell that you only get when a defrosted meat from the freezer had been sitting out for a couple of days. It had this spoiled stench when I bit into that chicken. It was appalling. I had stomachache soon as I got home. I hope that this review in some way better the food hygiene, storing and handling in the future so that no one would ever experience what I had experienced.
Such a great place for dine in. beautiful interior, friendly staff and AMAZING food. I can say we tried EVERYTHING on their menu and we had no complain what so ever. Love their pasta so much. their burger is one to die for. their appetizers were all amazing. can't wait to go back again
Nice staff and beautiful place. Chicken sandwich and steak were good but hand pressed burger wasn’t good.
Amazingly delicious food, nice and kind staff, comfortable place, the music is always soooooo damn good!!! I really love this place!!!! ❤
My first visit and first impression of the service wasn't a good one. Lighting was a bit too low for my liking as was difficult to read my menu or see my food. Starter was nice, however our waitress came with mains whilst my starter plate was still infront of me and couldn't find space as we were a big party group in a tight space. My food looked great but the fries were extremely salty and my steak was cold. Asked for my steak to be redone and was told to eat what's on my plate until they could do me a new steak, to which I waited another 30mins for fresh steak. Steak came out and was delicious with some additional sides. I couldn't eat it all as I had eaten what I could on my previous plate. I may visit again but in a smaller group.
Had the veggie burger it was delicious!!! One of the best in house made veggie burger I've had. Place was nice and great service.
Excellence service by our waiter Josh. The salad was delicious but they could of added some more chicken pieces.
I really liked this place but since the experience I had tonight... never coming back! I went with my friends and waited too long for our food. I was having my first bite that I noticed there was a LONG HAIR on the steak. I called the servers they took forever to come and see what’s wrong(their service was very very poor) they didn’t apologize or anything and took the food and said to wait another 30 minutes until it gets ready again. All of my friends finished their food and were uncomfortable that I wasn’t eating and I ended up eating after everyone! I went to the washroom and there wasn’t a single clean toilet(worst restaurant washroom experience). They didn’t check up on our table, they didn’t apologize, it caused everyone being uncomfortable and having a bad time. Honestly next time I would go to another nearby restaurant
Me and my wife came here around 10 pm in the evening for diner. Was getting late so we tried out this place. Got seated quickly and ordered our food. Great food, hoping portions would be bigger for the price. Would like to try the larger steak next time. Orders came out very quickly but this service is only good during the night 1hr before closing. I will surely try this place when its more busy to compare, but for now its a 4. Other issue was the waitress ask if we wanted refills but it appeared that she forgot about it. We kept quiet and just ask for our bill. Recommand this place for couples and groups.
Dine in
The food here is amazing, I ordered the katsu chicken salad and it did not disappoint. Drinks however are a bit expensive, and they do not offer any pitchers of anything. Service was good, but instead of using debit machines they are using iPads for “contactless” payments- and you end up touching the iPad way more then you would a debit machine.
Overall a good restaurant to have a delicious meal. For the price, I would hope for a bit larger portion. It doesn't feel like good value for what you receive. The service was excellent. We were greeted immediately, the hostess sat us quickly at a table. It was a slower time, and no wait list. The atmosphere was great. I had the steak and crispy mashed potatoes. The steak was alright. I asked for Medium and it was more medium rare. The portion seemed tiny. The crispy mashed were amazing. Overall the food was good. My only complaint, if it's even a complaint is the price to portion. It seems like the prices go up, and the portions shrink. It's a great place for a nice upbeat atmosphere, but you are paying a premium for it.
I hate writing this review because I’ve dined many times at joey’s and have enjoyed their food. I’ve had two awful takeout experiences with them and will not be ordering takeout from them again. I ordered various dishes last week and the portions were extremely small, the food was cold (expected with delivery) and the patties in their sliders were burnt :(. I was really not expecting this from them and wished my experiences were more pleasant.
Had the most terrific time at Joey’s DON MILLS last night as I hosted my daughter’s 18th Birthday Dinner Party to which the incredible OLIVIA NASSAR helped me organize and execute so beautifully. Our food and service was beyond amazing.. …
Make reservations if you want to eat here for lunch or dinner - it is a BUSY location. Food is delicious and staff is friendly. Curbside parking is sparse, but there is valet parking out front and a parking garage within the Shops at Don Mills complex, diagonal from the restaurant. Bathrooms are up a long flight of stairs.
I always have a great time when I visit Joey restaurant in Toronto. The food is good and the atmosphere is chill with a good vibe. The restaurant is very classy but not too expensive which is amazing. My favourite dish is salmon seared sushi. I wouldn’t recommend the burger but the other dishes are decent.
Excellence service by our waiter Josh. The salad was delicious but they could of added some more chicken pieces.
How do you celebrate a beautiful sunny day? You go to @cfshopsdonmills and make a reservation @joeyrestaurants For appetizers got the #CalamariFritti …
Went there on a Friday evening with a party of 5. Steps of service perfectly followed. Food was timed and tabled properly. Quality checks followed. Food is delicious. I tired the salmon with veggies and mashed potatoes. The crispy mashed potato was a nice touch . Veggies made perfectly. Would visit again for sure.
One of my favourite restaurants! Always a good choice and what i like about Joey is that the food is always consistent no matter which one you go to. First, the salad it was yummy then the steak was soooo tasty, and of course the dessert was great too! Yum yum ???? Staff were very friendly. All in all we had a great meal, the place was great, people were great, and the food was terrific!

Had a great time at Joey Don Mills. Elected to sit on the outside patio and selected the hand pressed burger. Our server Juliana was delightful; she provided great service and made our experience very enjoyable. If you are at Shops at Don Mills this is a wonderful place to eat. I hope to be back soon.
Food is always delicious but some staff training is required. I know it is difficult getting staff right now! But, please do not take away plates until everyone is finished eating! A large pastry requires a dessert fork and a dessert spoon to eat it. It is not a cafeteria ( or cafeteria prices) so please don’t plop couple of sugar packs on the table…..and yes I realize this is a small complaint! Twice our server was told it was a birthday dinner……no candle, nothing! Not their usual action. They were extremely quiet last night and enough staff, but our waitress was indifferent.
The food is amazing and I would come back just for that, but the service here is simply outstanding. Our server was on top of everything, always checking on us, making sure we were okay and satisfied with our food. On top of that, I feel like the servers and hosts have a secret language, as they would all work together to make sure the clients were okay. Someone would refill our water, someone else would clear an empty chair so we would have more space, someone else would bring our food, etc... Again, the food is great, but the service is wonderful and something that not many restaurants have to that extent. Whoever is training these guys is amazing, they're always on top of everything, and I've been here numerous times and it is always the same. They always go out of their way to make sure you are perfectly satisfied and comfortable while enjoying your delicious food. Definitely recommended, and I'll keep coming back!
Happy hour from 3:00 to 6:00 PM; one cocktail and a burger (with cheese) $21 (including tax). Really good food, good service and wasn’t packed... it was perfect.
We celebrated a friends birthday on Sunday and the entire experience was amazing. From the time we entered the restaurant to the time we left your staff was friendly and accommodating. The food absolutely delicious and arrived to the table hot. Our server was what really made our experience exceptional, Charlotte was one of the nicest people I've ever met...great hire! This was my first time at Joey and I will certainly be back. Thank you very much and Happy Holidays to you and your staff!!
Had a wonderful outdoor patio experience in winter at Joeys! The food was delicious - here are steak/lobster ravioli, truffle fries. If outdoor patio season where to continue, I would like to see more heating and / blankets offered (or encourage guests to bring their own).
The employees are super friendly. It's almost always full in peak hours, so if I'm going there i would reserve or go atleast an hour sooner. The parking is vast and free. It has to stories, and one patio. The patio is famous among customers Good for dates, casual business meetings and friends gathering
I've never had a bad experience in joeys. I went to this one with a large group of people and we had a fantastic night. Atmosphere was awesome. The food was excellent. Bbq salmon was incredible. Also having friendly patient and accommodating staff definitely made the experience so much better. I'm sure it isn't easy handling table of 22 people but they did a great job. Absolutely recommend this place if you in the area
Nice looking trendy restaurant. Food was pretty good. Only 3 stars because lunch service was awfully slow and kinda mediocre for what you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber (and price point). Positive - friendly staff and waitress suggested some additional toppings for the sliders which made them yummy.
An upscale casual restaurant with lots of space, style and ambience. A great menu with delicious food and good selection of wines. Sports a rooftop restaurant as well which was not functional when I was visiting. Over all a great place to meet friends and family. Most importantly professional staff!
Joey's is great because everything on the menu is tasty, but this location gets 5 stars because the service is AMAZING ! Thank you ????
Good food, beautiful ambience. We had a welcome drink as we enter which was delightful! Our server, Jaime, was sweet!
I was actually disappointed this time around. We entered Joey's and there was already a guest at the counter. While we waited to be served, a couple of ladies walked in. When the guest was done, the other lady pushed ahead of us and started telling the staff how many people she had etc. There were three staff at the door, one went with the first guest. I tried to get the attention of the staff but either we didn't look rich enough or maybe the fact that we had a one year old on our hands didn't seem to render us the same amount of attention as the other ladies. When the staff did get to us, I was visibly upset, but there was no apology or anything for that encounter. They are lucky the wait staff upstairs were so pleasant that I didn't give this review 1 star.
Loved the atmosphere, patio, light music, delicious food and lovely stuff. Romantic :)
Nice staff and beautiful place. Chicken sandwich and steak were good but hand pressed burger wasn’t good.

Been there so many times and love their food and drinks. The staff are so friendly as well. It's a bit pricey though. But I like the atmosphere.
First outing post covid so it was going to be fun no matter what. Ordered the Korean cauliflower, and sliders for starters. The cauliflower was ok, very lightly battered and the cauliflower was pretty raw but the sauce was nice. Sliders were good, as there are no kids meals so we gave our 2 year old that. I had the peppercorn steak it was average, but the crispy mashed potatoes were a nice surprise. The steak was 50$ so at that price it was disappointing. Other dishes on the table were the crushed herb salmon, veal Parm, and a poke bowl, they all seemed to enjoy them. Server was great as well. Would come back for drinks and apps only next time.
This restaurant never disappoints you. it's my to go place and i'm a big fan of their pomodoro pasta. Service is great, staff are friendly, and the location is very convenient.
My fiancee and I shared a great rooftop patio dinner in a booth with safe social distancing and lots of air flow. Service was very accommodating, pre-dividing all our orders so we could share everything, even dessert!
Service was a bit slow but it was a busy night. The food is always good, especially during happy hour ????
This restaurant is kinda fancy which I like it. the quality of food is excellent, you should try the Mediterranean bowl. The staff was very helpful and always available. We had 30 minutes waiting time to get seated, they treated us with a piece of sushi that was appreciable
Joey Don Mills was one of our favourite Joey’s restaurants before pandemic, so coming to visit now in Phase 3 when patio is open, and you can dine in as well was a must! We chose a nice table at the patio and it was a pleasant experience to be outside in nice weather. Don’t sit next to the plants if you would like to avoid annoying wild bees. As far as food goes, it is what you would expect from Joey’s! We had one of my favourites - Yellowfin Tuna salad and it was great, with enough tuna and with great salad and just right amount of sauce. My friend said that Tuna Poke Bowl was exceptional. Sangria was a special of the day and that complimented our meal well. Keep it up Joey Don Mills!
Both food and service were really good. I loved that the egg on the cobb salad was not hard boiled and it was just the right texture and consistency.
Dine in
Absolutely no complaints. The menu has something for everyone and looked and tasted great. Our server was superb.
Great bar and grill spot inside shops at Don Mills. They have a nice outdoor roof patio for dining in which I highly recommend. I have came here a few times for lunch and had no complaints about the food or the service. The few times I came before I had the California Chicken Sandwich and the seafood tacos which are delicious. This time I tried their classic 7oz steak with crispy mash and asparagus. The "crispy mash" is very creatively made! It is inside of like a wonton wrapper with sour cream and bacon! Everything was very wells seasoned and the steak cooked medium was very juicy and flavorful. For the prices on the menu, you are getting good quality food for it and the overall experience. Everything is wheelchair accessible accept the steps to go into the bar. Also this is a bit nit picky but I would appreciate more pasta options :)
Great service and the food was absolutely the best! Steak was not tough and the lettuce wrap was amazing! 100% recommend.
Delicious food. Lovely atmosphere. Friendly service. Music was a bit loud for conversing.
We visited Joey's for my sister in laws birthday. I've visited Joey's in the past and I loved the entire experience. This time around I just found our server not present, she was not attentive. Didn't try to make connection with us or go above and beyond. I enjoyed the food, ambience is good.
Good starters but mains were disappointment and fountain drinks were really really bad
One of the overall nicest Joeys locations. Great place to come for drinks and exceptional service. Awesome upstairs patio in the summer. Highly recommend the chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer or the chili chicken. The yellow fin tuna salad never disappoints as well.
It was my first time at this location. I came for my friends birthday dinner. The place is nice and i found the staff friendly as well. No complaints about the restaurant. I would recommend that if you do make reservations here, based on the time, please do come earlier because parking is a bit hard to find.
Service
An amazing restaurant for have a fancy but chill meal. The options on the menu are mainly steaks, which are their specialty. The cocktails are amazing. Is a little expensive compared with other restaurants, but it totally worth it
Great atmosphere and good food. Overpriced but a good place to take family and friends out to celebrate and break bread.
Meal type
Booked my staff party here, and all I can say is that Jordanna and Karleen did an absolutely phonemonenal job taking care of my party of 25. Karleen was always on top of everything and honestly probably the best service I have ever recieved in a restaurant. Thank you so much Karleen for everything you did today, you taught me how to be more hospitable. Thank you for the royal treatment and taking care of me and my staff so well. You made all our nights!!!!
Ordered budha bowl, salmon bowl and crispy mashed potatoes. I would give them all 10/10. The presentation and taste were great. Had a good time there and enjoyed our drinks. server was friendly and nice as well and our wait time for a Thursday night was around 15 mins. Prepare to show your proof of vaccination and ID.
First time at Joey's, I went during happy hour and ordered the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wraps. I loved the second floor covered patio, and the food was terrific! Plan to go back and order the same meal.
We loved our experience, the atmosphere was fresh and filled with a young crowd. The wait staff were friendly and attentive.. And last but not least the food was delicious. We had the pomme frites and lettuce wrap chicken. We've heard so many good things about about Joey! So glad we could visit and can't wait to come again!
I rarely write restaurant reviews, but we encountered a waiter that needed to be recognized publicly. Hassan was the waiter, and he was incredible. He gave me an experience that made me want to return a million times. He was understanding and patient with all of my dietary requirements. He went above and beyond to ensure that my requirements were met. Come to this specific eatery if you ever visit Joey's. The property was immaculate, and you could see that everything had been well-managed.
I would highly recommend their lettuce wraps and panang curry dish!
Food was good and server was really nice. The wait time was decent for the food to come out. I was a bit disappointed with the hot wings but the rest of the food was good. We had the mushroom cheddar burger with yam fries and Baja fish tacos!
Had an awesome lunch today. Service was great. Food and beverages were awesome. Highly recommend the Baja Fish Tacos and the Molten Chocolate Cake. The location was a little busy to start with, but gradually emptied out after lunch. You need to show proof of vaccination.
Love Joey's. Please bring back the lobster grilled cheese and shrimp flat bread! Happy to be back after the pandemic. The BBQ salmon bowl came with brown rice, some fresh veggies and a tasty dressing. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The fish tacos were better in the past, not sure if the recipe changed or it's just a new chef. Shrimp sushi cone was great. Great atmosphere, love the rooftop patio and location. The lady at the front was super friendly although our server was not.
I usually go to the Yorkdale location but today I decided to go to the Don Mills location. I wouldn’t usually write a a review, however I did not have the best experience here. The service in the front was absolutely horrible! We were seated but nobody came to take our order for about 20 minutes. Another waitress saw that our waitress was no where to be seen, then took our drink orders first. Our waitress finally shows up and throughout our meal she barely checked up on her tables. Our food was good but our waitress was more interested on talking to her co workers. There’s nothing wrong with small talk, but we barely saw her. We were going to get dessert but then she disappeared, and that definitely ruined our mood for dessert. Thankfully the other waitress was there to help us and get the bill so we could leave. For what we’re were paying I would’ve expected better service. The Yorkdale location is definitely the one I will be going to over this one. This was very unprofessional.
Two words: Happy Hour. Between 3-6 offers cheaper drinks and a variety of good eats. I've always thought Joey's menu is inspired by Asian flavors and it's the same here whether it's a selection of poke bowls, tandoori chicken on flatbread, or gyoza. They even have chopsticks on the table. The poke style bowls were good but the yam fries stole the show. Not easy to make them crispy but they managed to do so here and it matches well with the spicy mayo. We found everything to be tasty. Modern chic vibe to it with a few screens to watch the game albeit the screens are on the tinier side. Large windows surround this location bringing in lots of light. Good service. Good place for a quick drink or to just hang out over some good food. Also a nice rooftop patio!
Had lunch at joey don mills. They didn't have our reservation but we're able to accommodate us without issue. Waitress was very nice and came back throughout our meal to make sure we were happy. Food was presented nicely, portions were good and tasty. Shared a bunch of apps - would recommend the calamari, hummus and flat bread. Had the ribs and chicken. Ribs were tender but wasn't that fond of the sauce. Chicken was great. Mash potatoes too.
Lunch
Dinner
This was definitely the first place my girlfriend & I wanted to go to once patio's opened up, and we were not disappointed one bit, let's start with the food, which was amazing (like always); but it tasted extra special tonight for some reason, steak (seasoned perfectly, asparagus was pefectly cooked, crispy mashed potato's (extra crispy). Next, the service, as a former cook in the hospitality industry, I understand how hard it was for all of us during these times, and our server Deardest, he's the man! He was super friendly, he was there to greet us at the table promptly, he was attentive, and most importablty, he was being himself, I would want him as my server every time.The manager at this location should be proud to have someone like him on their staff!! ENJOY THAT TIP MY MAN, YOU DESERVE IT!!!
Went to Joey's today for lunch with my Husband and had a great meal and really great service. The cobb salad was wonderful, love the way the bacon, chicken, and egg were done to perfection and the presentation just great. Also, we had the apple pie for dessert it was really great the crust thin and flake loads of apple. We hope to be back soon. Thank you so much!!
Never disappoints. A relaxing atmosphere and great selections. Try the happy hour items.
I am really impressed by the service I received here. The restaurant was full but the host found a table for two of us in less than ten minutes and we were ordering our food in less than 15 minutes. The waitress was absolutely lovely and …
Dinner
Came at around 9:30pm on Monday, and was shut down entry by the two girls at the front. They told me the limit per table was 4 when I was with my family and every other restaurants limit is a family of 5. They seemed more interested in what was on there phone to be able to provide any type of customer service. This really turned me off from this location, would not return.
Awesome time with good company! Great music (old school early 2000s lounge sexy hip hop and RnB) the entire dinner service. But the most amazing part of our dinner was Floris. He provided exemplary customer service throughout the night, his recommendations were superb and he guided us through the JOEY experience with absolute ease. He's a star and a great asset to their team. Will back soon and look forward to his future recommendations. Great Wednesday night spent!
We ordered the herb crushed salmon with the crispy mashed potato from Uber Eats, the packaging was neat. The food tasted as expected, and was made perfectly. The truffle brownies were complimentary and tasted decadent, they made well for the added touch to our meal. We'll be ordering again!
We ordered two chocolate cakes for to go and the waitress got the order and we paid. She wanted us to wait beside the side door so we were waiting. It was late night so not many people and just simple order of two chocolate cakes but it was taking forever. So we asked another server who was cleaning the patio and another guy came and asked our name and what we ordered. Then he came back with our food, and we asked about what was going on and it turned out the waitress who got our order didn’t tell them we were waiting outside and just left cause her shift was over. Seriously, they didn’t even put forks and stuff and we found it out later. We were so upset and and disappointed, we even tipped her ☹️ (The cakes were fine)
Great place to hang out with friends after work. You will enjoy the appetizers and serving is a good amount.
I have been there a lot of times, it is good, especially apple juice, fries, dumplings and chicken fingers are good, the food is yummy.
We had takeout and it was so good. Nicest food we have had in a long time everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious.
The vegetarian burger here was pretty good. The service was amazing and there was no wait time for a table. I loved the ambience of the restaurant and it was not over crowded. Would definitely recommend this place if you want good food and do not have any reservations at any of the other restaurants.
Good food but service is slow. Party of 6 on a Saturday afternoon at 3. It took 1 hr from sitting down to having staff return to our table to place our order.
Incredible experience here! Sienna is fantastic highly attentive, she needs a raise. Ryan is also amazing. If you are a fan of the godfather cocktail have him make you one, you will not be disappointed.
The rooftop patio has the roof and the wall.. feel like sitting in an indoor bar. disappointed.. the food was okay and the bottle of wine was cheap. the service was very slow..
Really love the atmosphere and ambiance. Visited third time with my friends. This place never let your expectations go down. Enough options for a vegetarian person.
Experienced the happy hour specials when I went in yesterday, was impressed with how good the menu is. Would recommend going there between that time to try some of the tasty, appetizing dishes they have to offer. My personal favourite were the sliders!
Besides the occasional crazy lineup/wait times, this place is great. Decent variety, quality food and good service! I always get the Yellowfin Tuna Salad. It's delicious and the perfect amount too.
I’ve eaten at the various Joey’s thought the GTA for years now and they’re always consistent. I haven’t been to one in several months tho. Yesterday I ordered the Panang Curry Bowl & it’s quite smaller than it use to be (to me at least). It still tastes delicious, however had I not eaten prior to dinner, I would have been hungry after LOL. My sisters ribs were alright, not the best she’s had (she’s obsessed with ribs). My other sisters had the crispy tofu bowl which was extremely light. And my other sister had a steak but got the wrong one. She wanted the NY strip, a classic favourite but ended up getting the filet mignon. Joey’s changes their menu and items a little to frequently and I wish they’d leave old menu item the same. Other then that, it was great service and good atmosphere.
We went for 4pm and stayed for hours. It was busy but had extra tables so no pressure to leave which was great. Food and drinks were great.
Had a dinner at JOEY Don Mills, and the food was great. This location is well designed and had a pleasing atmosphere with friendly staff and services.
Had a great time at Joey Don Mills. Elected to sit on the outside patio and selected the hand pressed burger. Our server Juliana was delightful; she provided great service and made our experience very enjoyable. If you are at Shops at Don Mills this is a wonderful place to eat. I hope to be back soon.
Have always loved Joey Restaurants and was lucky enough to be served by Jaime last night. She gave us professional customer service and the best vibe - one that will have us coming back for sure. Thank you Jaime for your hospitality and for an amazing experience. ????
My second time at this location and as always very good food and environment. There was a bit of wait to sit on the deck my inside no wait. Food came with a reasonable amount of time and delicious. I recommend.
Food tastes good and is consistent. You can feel that they are trying after the pandemic. Good service and ambience!
Comfort food. Everyone is happy. Rooftop rosé. Service super friendly.
The service was good. Food was tasty and ready efficiently
Visited this place on my anniversary. Food was amazing. Ordered Ribs and they were falling off the bone and blackened chicken was delicious too. Must visit for a special occasion.
The food and the experience was amazing! I had the peppercorn steak striploin, rare and it was great. The apple pie dessert was a nice twist, it was more of an apple peacan tart but it worked great with the maple icecream. Our server Jaymie was fantastic, kept our drinks full, and made sure we were never looking for her. She also had a great sense of humour which was the cherry on top of the evening.
Good environment and service. Food is always great although bit disappointed as they took off some of the best menu items like flat breads. Had Baja fish soft tacos and herb Salmon, both were absolutely amazing. He service was OK but can be improved for sure.
Had the most terrific time at Joey’s DON MILLS last night as I hosted my daughter’s 18th Birthday Dinner Party to which the incredible OLIVIA NASSAR helped me organize and execute so beautifully. Our food and service was beyond amazing.. Even more amazing was our waiter AMIR. AMIR was friendly, kind and courteous. The way he spoke to us and served us, you would think we were royalty. I want to thank AMIR for such amazing service, his kindness towards us all and his love that he carries for each and every customer as if we were family to him. HE WAS SIMPLY AMAZING ????
Went there on a Friday evening with a party of 5. Steps of service perfectly followed. Food was timed and tabled properly. Quality checks followed. Food is delicious. I tired the salmon with veggies and mashed potatoes. The crispy mashed potato was a nice touch . Veggies made perfectly. Would visit again for sure.
Such a memorable experience we had for our friend’s birthday! ???? When we arrived, there was a beautiful table set for us. The staff were amazing and nice. All foods were absolutely delicious and fresh. I fell in love with my cheeseburger and fries ???? Great location and fast service. ???? Price range ????: $$-$$$ My Instagram: arghavans_appetite
We came here for lunch and had to wait quite a while for a free table. The wait was absolutely worth it. The staff was amazing and very helpful, they helped us move tables and we felt very comfortable. It was happy hour so we got drinks, they were a little too sweet for our taste but overall delicious. My wife got the Cali club and I got the poke bowl. My bowl was amazing! My wife's burger had a bit too much sauce and the bottom bun fell apart. Overall a great experience!
Nice environment and food along with fantastic customer service. The prices are a little on the higher end for some items. Many attractive people work at and visit this location. The parking and valet are free.
Excellent food and service. Food took very little time to arrive. Recommend the lettuce rap. One small detail: the staff seem very reluctant to let people sit on the rooftop patio at the moment.
Super consistently good food and drinks. Fast service and fast seating. Very friendly staff. Clean restaurant and bathrooms and good music.
I've been to Joey a handful of times but never this location. Beautiful patio, but visors would be nice. The food and drinks were awesome, I just wish the salmon portion in the BBQ Salmon Bowl was a little larger. The service left little to be desired.
Super nice. I got the tuna bowl, very nice environment, excellent service
It was an amazing feeling to see so many people coming out to have some good time. So we chose Joey’s for lunch @shops at Don Mills. They ticked all the boxes when it comes to cleanliness and Hospitality. As we were on the healthier side was happy to know they have vegan and gluten free options. Love that everyone’s back to business. It was overall a satisfying experience. Definitely suggest to my friends.

Called to place an order over the phone. They have reserved section for order pick up. Once you reach there you call and inform them. The order is ready and waiting to be picked up. The burgers were delicious. The pandemic has changed the way we eat from restaurants.
It was good atmosphere, a bit loud though. Can hardly blame them as it's holiday time and restaurant is packed. Staff was great and very accommodating. We were a large group and our server handled everything very smoothly. A wonderful surprise was that they have half price wine bottles on Wednesday. That was such an amazing deal. Food was also superb. All in all, it was a 5star experience. Will go back again. Convenient valet service was also a great plus for a very cold evening.
I love this place. My wife and I go there ALL THE TIME. We’re there every other weekend and it’s always a great experience. They’re very consistent. The food is always top-notch, the service is always great and the portions are generous. It’s a little expensive, but totally worth it. You get more than you pay at this place. My favourites on the Menu: Sushi Cone, Lettuce Wrap, Baby Back Ribs with Crispy Mash Potato, and of course the burger.
I rarely write restaurant reviews, but we encountered a waiter that needed to be recognized publicly. Hassan was the waiter, and he was incredible. He gave me an experience that made me want to return a million times. He was understanding and patient with all of my dietary requirements. He went above and beyond to ensure that my requirements were met. Come to this specific eatery if you ever visit Joey's. The property was immaculate, and you could see that everything had been well-managed.
I was surprised how good the sushi is here. My family and I really enjoyed our meal here!
Indoor dining now available! They still got it! Gotta love Joey's!
The food quality is just great! As the prices go up, the food portion size goes down. Not very attractive in that sense. The seating is tight for the party table adjacent to the bar, I could not get out of my seat without struggling much, and I am not a big person.
Great bar and grill spot inside shops at Don Mills. They have a nice outdoor roof patio for dining in which I highly recommend. I have came here a few times for lunch and had no complaints about the food or the service. The few times I came before I had the California Chicken Sandwich and the seafood tacos which are delicious. This time I tried their classic 7oz steak with crispy mash and asparagus. The "crispy mash" is very creatively made! It is inside of like a wonton wrapper with sour cream and bacon! Everything was very wells seasoned and the steak cooked medium was very juicy and flavorful. For the prices on the menu, you are getting good quality food for it and the overall experience. Everything is wheelchair accessible accept the steps to go into the bar. Also this is a bit nit picky but I would appreciate more pasta options :)
Amazing! Never disappoints! Excellent service and flavourful food. You know exactly what to expect and they deliver.
Food and service was great. The Watermelon mocktail we had just had lemon juice and ice and a Watermelon piece ???? as garnish! A garnish cube doesn't make a drink guys. Management should look into hiring bartenders who know what they are doing to get 5 stars.
Misa who is the server are sooooo nice and help me at the very end order, her recomendation is really good as well, should try the sushi here
Came to this location for a birthday celebration. Food was on point ????. Ordered alcohol beverages but they didn't have much on stock. Had to exchange my Moscow Mule for something much better. Something one of the servers suggested so thank you ????. Also only had 1 dessert so that was disappointing. Waiter was amazing at first then when we kept wanting to order we couldn't find him.( they were a bit busy though and seemed under staffed for a Friday night). Hope to have a better experience.
How do you celebrate a beautiful sunny day? You go to @cfshopsdonmills and make a reservation @joeyrestaurants For appetizers got the #CalamariFritti tempura vegetables, spicy aioli and #PestoShrimpFlatbread whole milk mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, chipotle aioli. Damn delicious!While nibbling on #appetizers , why not wet the pallet with @joeyrestaurants cocktails of their #Sangria (white & red) , #moscalmule and their #peachbellini #CHEERS ????????????The #maincourse from @joeyrestaurants was their #RotisserieChicken + #BBQRibs mashed potatoes, today’s vegetables, sun-dried tomato gravy. Ask the server to switch out their Herb Crusted Salmon for their #BBQSALMON with lemon butter sauce, crispy mashed potato, today’s vegetables. Lastly, I had to get their #Ravioli With #LobsterCream & #GrilledPrawns micro herbs, fresh dill. Top notch choices! 5 star ???????????????????? (I apologize for the pictures as I screenshot a video)

Ordered budha bowl, salmon bowl and crispy mashed potatoes. I would give them all 10/10. The presentation and taste were great. Had a good time there and enjoyed our drinks. server was friendly and nice as well and our wait time for a Thursday night was around 15 mins. Prepare to show your proof of vaccination and ID.
Gotta love their patio. Otherwise, it’s still amazing to see people dress up and go to this restaurant. I mean, you’re going to JOEY’s - not LIV
Gluten vegan free butter chicken was absolutely above and beyond. I would have never imagined vegan butter chicken to taste so delicious. I did substitute the tofu for real chicken for dairy allergy reasons im not a vegan. Compliments to the chef and staff!
Nice environment & tasty food ! We had a nice dinner there last night ... the server completely forgot our wine bottle though .... we had to remind her and finally she served it after serving the food ! I think it was only a mistake & will not be happening there often as the staff looked nice & trained ...
Dine in
Fun... dined before lockdown. Big enough to offer social dist tables. Luv their lettuce wraps.
Went to Joey yesterday for the first time and can’t wait to go again, yes the experience was that good! Exceptional food , great service and perfect ambiance ! Our brilliant and exceptional server Shernell made it the best restaurant experience we ever had! Attentive, poised, efficient and the list can go on, she made sure we were comfortable, always checked on us… The dishes were delicious! We had the Szechuan Chicken Lettuce Wrap- the dish was finger licking good even the lettuce was so crisp and fresh , Sushi cone, Herb Crush Salmon(Best dish) - an exceptional dish! The salmon had a melt in the mouth texture, the herbs and the sauce made it intoxicatingly good! This dish came with the mash potatoes but I wanted to try their crispy mash and Shernell made it happen and it was literally the best, Baja fish tacos - both my husband and I never tasted a taco so good! Soft, melt in the mouth feeling, it came with fries that were great. The finale was when Shernell and another sweet server person surprised us with a molten lava cake with ice cream with happy anniversary plated excellently! And glasses of champagne !!!!! Joey is an experience we will never forget! P.S the drinks were great too I loved the Signature sangria more
Good food and atmosphere despite COVID protocols. Dined indoors and staff were friendly and attentive.
Is this what we called “lobster?”???? so how big a shrimp should be like.
Nice restaurant, great food and friendly staff. The only thing was the length of time we had to wait for the server to come to our table to take our order.
I would give this restaurant 1 star, the wait is super long I mean like they don't even take reservations I ended up waiting a long time only to be disappointed with the food! Mine was alright but my husband whom is not a picky eater and I mean that he didn't eat his food and being with him for 6 years this is the first time I seen him not eat because the taste was so terrible!
I've been coming to this Joey for many years and had a really bad experience the other night. I sat down at a relatively empty bar, my beer was empty and the bartender clearly saw that any didn't ask if i would like another one. Even after asking for another one she proceeded to make drinks for other tables and went to talk to her co-workers then came back to pour me one. What made this experience even worse was the Manager was also making drinks behind the bar the entire time and didn't once ask me if i was ok. When a couple sat down however she attended to them right away. I've been to many restaurants over the years and this the worst experience ive ever had. This is the last time ill be coming to this location.
I love the ambience and maple ice cream of joey’s. ????????????I wanted to dine in there for a long time as Joey is my all time fav Character. ????❤️???????? . Will try some more items soon. ???????????? Price is average. Overall it’s good for family, friends, couples or alone as well.????
A good place to catch up with friends and family. Good happy hour menu as well if you can make it within those time frames
Used to be a regular there, but after reopening, had a nightmare experience there today. Despite been put on waitlist for 40 mins, there attitude was very uptight and made us feel like they don’t need our business with outrageous demands of each person ordering main meals… not gonna visit again!
We had takeout and it was so good. Nicest food we have had in a long time everything was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious.
Purposely make you wait for a table when clearly there are a few tables available. Ordered fish taco for kids ...stuffed with fried shrimp. Couldn't see any Baja fish. Asked for aoili or spicy mayo dip for the fries and surprised to see it was charged in the bill. Tried the ahi tuna Burger for the 1st time here. It was not bad. Staffs are not friendly.
Food was good. We went during happy hour to select from the happy hour menu. Atmosphere was very modern and elegant. Service was good as the waitresses always stayed positive and welcoming.
Food was delicious- patio was clean and had a nice view. The waitresses were attentive and friendly. It was an overall enjoyable experience for my mom and I. Despite the 40 minute wait for a table- which was understandable due patio season just commencing, I had no issues.
We were wait listed so had to wait to get seated, and the service was really slow, even when they didn't have that many tables to serve. I enjoyed the shrimp and fish tacos, but it's a very small portion for the price, and the hot sauce that came withit wasn't spicy it was sour. The pita that came with the hummus was burnt. Everything was just overpriced for the actual food and service we got. I don't think it's worth it.. maybe it was just that night
No words to describe the satisfaction everytime I come or order at any of the locations of Joey's restaurant. The restaurant itself looks beautiful, cant wait for restaurants to open up to dine in. We order quite a lot, the pasta pomodoro, blackened chicken, herb salmon and seared sushi was especiallyyyy amazing and everything else was excellent too! I ordered over the phone and I think the girl who helped me was Rachel and she was very nice! Def recommend the place. We can all the way from Oshawa just cuz it's soooo good!
Butter Chicken is amazing!! Staff are pretty friendly but waitresses seem to be gone for extended periods of time. Ambiance and food was good!
I used to love Joey’s. Came to this location for a Saturday lunch, the chair that was given to us wasnt even wiped from the last customers, there were bread crumbs all over it, so we asked our waitress to clean it. Ordered 3 drinks, they came without a coaster and the lady slipped our drink on the table, then barely damp it down with a tissue (i had to call her to properly clean the table later on) Our food came so very late after drinks!! and then they’ve decreased the number of crispy potatos from the dish and the entire attitude when I asked for another one was off Overall I was very disappointed! joey’s was probably my number 1 go to casual place but highly disappointing this time. I won’t be coming at least to this location! and i’ll make sure all my joey’s lovers friends know about this.
This is one of my favorite go to restaurants, I love the Butter chicken and wife loves the steak & sushi. Really quality items. Try it you wont regret it ????
I am really impressed by the service I received here. The restaurant was full but the host found a table for two of us in less than ten minutes and we were ordering our food in less than 15 minutes. The waitress was absolutely lovely and she explained each menu item completely and precisely. The food was prepared fairly quickly and it was just superb. The steak was made as I loved and those Royal Sliders were really tasty. The desert was my favourite. Definitely will come back soon, and I will recommend you to pay a visit to this place... You won't be disappointed ????
Went to Joey's Don Mills for a friend from out of town. My friends rotisserie chicken was very tasty and juicy which was surprising as most of the time they're dry. The steak frites I ordered was supposed to come out rare but instead came out medium rare. The waitress took it back but then it took another 15min to cook a rare steak only to find out that they made it medium. At this point I was too hungry and decided just to eat it. Careful for those of you who want steak as they don't know how to cook it rare. Other than that service was fine and the wait staff are gorgeous.
Amazingly delicious food, nice and kind staff, comfortable place, the music is always soooooo damn good!!! I really love this place!!!! ❤
Came at around 6:30pm on Wednesday, and added my name to the wait list that was supposed to be 1 hour but after one hour an half still no available table and when asked to talk with manager. the manager was a teenage girl and she was very rude and rejected us without any respect. we ended up to go somewhere else after 2 hours and would not return to this location anymore.
"Szechuan Chicken or Tofu Lettuce Wraps" tried the non tofu one and it is honestly so good! I wasn't sold when I read it or saw it but my oh my what a flavorful bite in your mouth! The hand pressed burger was average at best, truffle fries on the other hand were pretty decent! I'll be back!
In love with this place. Good covid protocol. Atmosphere is amazing. Service is amazing. The food is definetly worth the price ❤️
Great food, and great customer service. Thank you! I order beef sliders, and steak meal with potatoes and asparagus. Well worth a visit.
Very pleasant location. Attentive servers, delicious food. Burger was excellent and fries just the way I like it. Tacos are amazing as well.
One of my favourite restaurants! Always a good choice and what i like about Joey is that the food is always consistent no matter which one you go to. First, the salad it was yummy then the steak was soooo tasty, and of course the dessert was great too! Yum yum ???? Staff were very friendly. All in all we had a great meal, the place was great, people were great, and the food was terrific!
My only complaint is food proportions are too small compared to their prices. I love going there during their happy hours, drinks and cocktails are priced great during those times. I'm amazed by the amount of sushi related stuff they have, I definitely go there with people who don't like sushi (ahem my fiance ahem) because they have burgers and sandwiches too.
Chicken sandwich and salmon are amazing, they never miss, straight fire ????
Meal type
Can't beat the happy hour prices for food and drinks from 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm, especially since the quality is always great. I always have a great dining experience at Joey's ???? Was back again today (Oct 21st, 2019) after work for happy hour, and once again Joey did not disappoint - great food, great service - just great everything :)
Great service and good food. Only concern was the rooftop patio was leaking. We moved the table several times but just kept dripping water on us and our menu after moving a few times we gave up.
The food was good. Great spot for large groups. Nice and friendly servers. Overall a nice atmosphere for a group of friends to have dinner.
Service
Friendly and courteous sercice staff and good place for a family to dine in. Food I ordered though was not upto a standard of the name. The asparagus was very woody and chewy and this was replaced by similar quality. Salmon was a bit dry and overdone.
Service
Came to Joey's twice in a week. Tried their apple pie with ice cream and it is just okay. There is too much pecan or nuts in it and the crust isn't flavourful. Their cocktails are delish, and the waiters are really good at accommodating your adjustments. Mine had too much mint so they were able to accommodate. The chicken burger and their veggie burger are really good. Very saucy and crunchy and definitely not like these fast food joints. Their spaghetti is also very yummy with a distinct sauce taste that doesn't require anything extra to be added. They rooftop is the best patio they have with a great view. During the opening of patios it has been long wait times. We waited 4 hours and they didn't do a great job at ensuring people sat for their designated time. We noticed a table that was there for the entire 4 hours we were waiting and when we put our names down they told us you only had 1hr and 45 mins due to the volume of people. Gave it 4 stars for that reason.
Dine in
Nice restaurant with good service. Nothing fancy, you still get paper napkins, small portions with elevated price tag. The calamari was a bit bland, the salmon was tasty, the paella tasted like it came from the microwave and the burgers were good, so overall decent meal.
Service
Ordered thru UE and I couldn't have been more pleased. I had the Classic Steak with crispy potatoes which tasted like heaven on earth!! Ended my birthday dinner with the Key Lime Pie in a jar. I'll definitely be ordering again!
We went on a Saturday night and it was busy. There was a long wait but we were able to sit at the bar untill our table was ready. We decided to hang out at the bar and eat there. The bartender was great! The food is always good. One of my favorite restaurants over all.
Food and service was as expected from a place like Joey's... It was alright. I tried the new chicken sandwich and it was tasty but on the salty side. The crispy spring rolls are always a win though! I definitely paid extra for that... A whole $3.50 was a bit much but I was craving it. Keep an eye out for the new chicken sandwich if you want to give it a try... Definitely beats the California club sandwich.
This is my second time at Joey. There's ample of space of big gathering, variety of food choices and the service is amazing. Try their Malaysian shrimp curry.
My friends and I went here for the first time, and it didn't disappoint us. Servers are nice and friendly. Service was quick, food taste great, we love the pressed salmon.. steak and sushi plate is a good combo.. the drinks were really refreshing.. I'm thankful they have zero alcohol drinks other than pops. I recommend this place..
Wow the drinks were amazing and everyone enjoyed their food. I had the lettuce wraps with chicken I can't get enough! Definitely sit on the patio for some great pictures their their lighting. And love that the washroom has a huge mirror for some classic washroom selfies.
Had the dumplings for starter and ribs for entree. Both were great. Service was quick, when we first got there the host said we had to wait 45 minutes to get in but only waited about 10 minutes before being seated. Staff were supper engaging and friendly with us. They really were COVID Safe during our stay as well.
Must have been a rare night because there was no waiting before being sat. Service was excellent and the food was equally as good. Typically busy with its upscale casual dining experience. It was enjoyable.
The first time I dined here last June, I tried their paella dish and it was incredibly amazing! When I went back recently with my kids, I was sad to see it was no longer on the menu. However, we enjoyed some delicious fried calamari with asparagus, beautifully made sushi, and mini sliders. The chicken and ribs were also quite tasty. Can’t wait to go back!
Food is always fantastic. We have been loyal customers since in opened. Today we tried to get the Lava cake promo but sadly it was expired. The great staff sent us a cake anyway... along with this sweet note. Thank you Joey Don Mills!!!
Happy hour options are great and reasonably priced for both food and drinks. Highly recommend the chilli chicken and yam fries. Service is mediocre, though we were seated quickly and served water to start, the server took forever to return or ask how things were shortly after the food came.
Came here last night (Friday evening) and it was super packed! The wait list was quite long, but Jasmine at the front did everything to accommodate us and made the start of our night amazing! The food was great. We will be back :)
If my experience happened 2 years ago, I would have given 2 or 3 stars. But I understand that most restaurants are working with less staff and new staff, while working under unprecedented constraints. First the positives. All the meals ordered at our table were delivered in a timely manner, were hot, and delicious. The drinks took awhile, but were also delicious. The negatives, the hosts seemed a little unorganised. I was told a table was ready for me upstairs, when I got upstairs there wasn't a table available. While hosts were figuring out what to do, a horde of people built up behind us and there was ZERO social distancing. The hosts were pleasant and accommodating though. After we were sat, a busser dropped off water but it took 30 minutes for a server to appear. And it took 45 minutes for our bills to be dropped. But our server was nice, funny and knowledgeable about the menu. Another odd thing was when we asked for physical menus (5 of 6 people at the table were over 70 and didn't have cell phones on them), we were told they weren't suppose to give us menus, but eventually we were given menus. Would give this location another chance.
Used to be my favourite restaurant ever and I went at least once a week. Never going back again... The food quality and service is so much worse now. Ever since the pandemic they are not the same. Everything tastes below average for above average prices. Also, they have taken so many good things off their menu. Oh also, they replied to me saying to email them and i sent them an email explaining the situation but THEY IGNORED!! So so so disappointing. I wish they could go back to their old ways. Used to be great service and great food, now its the worst of the worst.
Best dining experience and service. Excellent menu!!
One of my fave places in toronto. The ambience, the food and the drinks are all awesome. A must to come if u ever visit toronto A must have is the lobster grilled cheese sandwich, the ahiu tuna club, their great assortments of drinks and the apple pie.
Very good restaurant. Order many times and alway maintain good quality.
