“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, hands down! The staff are exceptionally kind and welcoming for food orders. The food itself is delicious and very reasonably priced for the portion size; there’s a good selection on the menu for those who are indecisive, and plenty of customizable options to choose from for those who are not. I highly recommend visiting the place when you get the chance!“

“Nice all day breakfast!“

“Very good service thank you 🙏“

“Great service and good food and friendly staff. Very accommodating and fast“

“In a restaurant world dressed up with disingenuous marketing JOEY Yorkdale offers you a magnificent spot outside downtown Toronto that delivers what it promises on their home page, “Our guests, new or old, are not treated just as guests, but as if they are a good friend we are catching up with.” And this was the experience for me and my two close chums who selected this spot primarily because it was the midpoint between our diverse locations. From first arriving, the hostess took the time to offer a complimentary champagne glass and inquire if our visit that day was for a special occasion. It was a reunion and she graciously followed up with pleasant comments establishing a charming mood. When the waitress came to greet us, she also took the time to find out more about the nature of our reunion and only then flawlessly delved into the menu. I understand this is common practice at luxury restaurants; however, I would contend that, although there are dining establishments that treat patrons similarly, it is not simply about what you do but, rather, how well you do it. And this is the reason I am taking the time to write this review: JOEY does it very well. Having frequented several luxury restaurants in downtown Toronto I can anecdotally share with you that there have been far too many occasions when the host and/or server left a poor impression. Whether it is conceited complacency in their brand or even our own bigotry of unrealistic expectations, there seldom is a meeting point of both food, service, and overall impression. The treatment at JOEY was so genuine that it left an indelible impression. Each interaction with the server and hostess throughout complemented our dining experience. We were then surprised with dessert on the house presented on an expansive serving plate with the words “Happy Reunion!” written in caramel. Delicious, delicious caramel. Mmmm, but I digress… Over the years I have written to restaurants far more complaints than compliments and, in retrospect, this is unfair. It takes a team and a culture to create this magic and it can be quite challenging to get it right. When it comes together as well as it did on our visit, it is the sort of joy that can accompany you throughout your day. At JOEY they seem to have captured the right formula and I look forward to returning and catching up with “good friends” that understand that going out to eat today is about so much more.“

“Speedy, friendly service and tasty drinks.“

“If you like delicious food, then this is the place, as well as for vegetarians there is a large selection.“

“A very cosy uptown restaurant ! I have been several times over the years and it never disappoints. Was there again last night and have to say the veal scallopini was excellent. It was a tough choice as there are so many delicious things on the menu. The friendly and excellent service, food and ambiance was perfect. A big thank you to the staff for such an enjoyable evening. Look forward to going back sometime soon. Sue H“

“Our reservation was promptly addressed when we arrived and presented ourselves. As we were invitingly ushered to our cubicle , which by the by was appropriately adorned in the colours of valentine, we were pleasantly impressed by the quality of noise reduction the alcove offered. Our host Ger displayed the courtesy that represented your boasts. The food, especially, mirrored your exquisite cuisine menus, and tasted divinely delectable Kudos to the manager and staff of the Yorkdale “Pickle Barrel.”“

“We had a great experience at Hogan’s Restaurant & Bar last night. The food and service were excellent, and they did an amazing job accommodating our large group. Everything was handled smoothly, and the staff were friendly, organized, and attentive the whole time. They also have a really cool bar downstairs, and they helped make sure our whole group got in and was taken care of without any issues. Highly recommend for both dinner and a fun night out!“

“outstanding service & amazing food --great people to work with when planning for an event!“

“Love their breakfast menu. really tasty“

“I dropped by for my birthday on Sunday. I must say that I truly enjoyed my meal. The ribs were soft and full of flavor and the drinks were nice. Shout big out and Thank you to my server,Nia, his customer service was on par and excellent. Made sure that we got our meals on time and that everything was ok. I will definitely be visiting again.“

“Still waiting on my meal! When I asked my server what happened to my order she said “Oh, I forgot, sorry”. She was very dry in tone, and indifferent. I felt like I was bothering her by asking. I have never experienced this downtown or at the Mississauga location.“

“We truly enjoyed a leisurely lunch today at Kelsey's Richmond Hill. We need to give a lot of the credit and thanks to our server, Sarah, who was always there when we needed her. She provided us with some excellent suggestions for food and drinks as well as impeccable service coming from a warm and friendly person. While my wife was thoroughly enjoying a cup of tea and a hearty soup with salad and a sandwich, I was just beside myself with every bite of the mushroom melt burger. The burger and fries were prepared and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend that you try this burger, especially if you love mushrooms. Treat yourself. I was also introduced to a delicious refreshing beer called Muskoka Pineapple Ninja. I've never seen it before and it appears that if I can't find anywhere else I'll have to go back. All in all, this was a perfect afternoon. Also, we have promised ourselves that we are going to do this again next week.“

“The food, the atmosphere and the service are all top tier. I am ADDICTED to their Smokey Gar Par wings. They are the perfect balance of savoury and sweet. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. 12/10 Would recommend.“

“Great food, came with a big party and had great service!“

“Came for their 8th anniversary party and this place is a vibe! Great atmosphere and music the entire night. I was served by a very lovely bartender named Sefra. She continuously checked on us throughout the night, and her amazing energy added to the event. Would definitely consider renting this place for events.“

“Amazing Interesting burger choices were so yummy and huge.“

“Gabbys Danforth.... Rude staff and an even more rude owner... don't bother complaining about anything because you're just going to get cussed at... absolutely appalling behavior... the usual crowd are loud obnoxious and seriously over their limits. I've witnessed tables and chairs falling all over the place on many occasions because people are way too intoxicated to think. The owner acts like he's untouchable and says things like " you're in a bar what do you expect " . I expect to be treated as a paying customer. Never going there again. also... one of the servers is literally always drunk out of her mind... my very first visit she was crying about her ex... and almost every time I ordered wings SHE GOT MY ORDER WRONG....over and over again!! let's just say ive had many free wings and stuff from her as an apology... I gave them a chance. several actually. but after that conversation with the owner.... im done. DO NOT RECOMMENDED!!!!“

“One of the most wholesome breakfast places ever! Everyone in the staff is genuinely so kind and truly puts in so much heart into their craft. The menu options are endless and you can tell that everything is just super fresh and made with a lot of care and love. Highly recommend trying out their breakfast dishes whenever you are in Richmond Hill! Truly a gem!“

“We ordered a large order today for a party for kids nearby. The sushi was great, and the customer service was very good too. They had made a mistake with the order, and went above and beyond to rectify it and bring us the item quickly. Very thankful for the kind and thoughtful service!“

“Was there Monday September 29th 2025 overall was a good experience wife and I both ordered the 11oz New York steak only thing I can say is 4 different waiters kept comming to see how the food was first time a female waiter came litterally as the plate was put infront of me I didn’t even have my fork in hand yet steak was way to salty and extremely over done with pepper aswell the waiter Mathew that was behind the bar was beyond amazing guy he even made sure he could help with a sealed dads rootbeer to take home to put on my shelf of dads stuff lol“

Happy Hour
Coconut calamari $17
Thick pieces of squid battered lightly and topped with crunchy coconut slivers. Very good. Though a bit expensive but good.

Who doesn't like sweet peach slushy with alcohol? Pretty good. Would recommend if you haven't tried.

Happy Hour is a great option.“

“After a surprisingly difficult morning, Wlgin Mills Sunset staff made our day. Despite being completely packed, we weee seared quickly. Friendly smiling staff weee hustling.

Thanks.“
