Whole table of people had there orders messed up and the food was below par, 3 people got boneless wings and they were all cold and had bad flavour, and the rest the orders were not right, and on top we had to pay 15 percent tip on bad food

Wow, shrinkflation at its finest. We ordered ribs and wings and we got the smallest, half rack of ribs I've ever seen, 4 wings and maybe a dozen fries for $22. Obviously the new management is trying to skimp hard and provide the bare minimum. We left still hungry.

1/2 price apps Advertisement not accurate and when asked where it was written was no where to be found but was just told that’s the way it is and there is nothing that can be done. Food was mediocre. Server never asked if we wanted more drinks. Not recommended

A friend of mine and her son went to eat here Monday night. My first time at that location. It started out badly, very badly, the young, long haired, blond bartender was rude and unprofessional. Peyton, Bob and Theodora turned it around for us and with their eager to rectify approach helped turn a very negative experience into a positive one. Peyton was understanding, tentative to my concerns and genuinely wanted to help. Bob was amazing. He came to us with a genuine approach, listened to our issues. We felt heard and respected, in the end, found a reasonable solution we all were happy with. As we were leaving, Theodora held the door for us as she was coming into her shift with a bright beautiful smile, respectful and genuinely nice. These 3 are a great representation of amazing service that should be emulated by the ENTIRE staff, as well as IMO, a lot of establishment's are lacking. Thank you guys and I specifically want to thank Bob again.

Came with a friend of mine on a Saturday Oct 13th night. This is my third time at Crabby Joe’s grabbing some drinks, but my first time ordering food. I had my food to go. Since we decided to stay a little longer I opened my takeout bag at the bar to find this; (please refer to photos). When I asked the waitress as to where my fries were.. she responded that the portions were correct..

Started with the fried pickles which were quite good and then had the Joe's Feast planked salmon (25 dollars for salad, an entree, and tiramisu) and the ribs and wings dinner. Salad was large and fresh with a nicely balanced balsamic vinaigrette. Salmon was well cooked and served with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Ribs were run of the mill but wings were tasty. Pretty decent meal for the price. Server could have been more attentive.
Follow up: we have now become semi-regulars on Tuesday nights for their wing deal. Service has become consistently very good and the wings and fries never disappoint. Even a few decent beers available and usually a Jays or Leafs game on the many screens.
Parking: Parking lot caters to several busy restaurants.

The food delivery was absolutely atrocious. The bruschetta did not even look like bruschetta by the time it arrived. It also didn’t taste like bruschetta. My partner and I were having a takin out night to celebrate a special occasion and this was the most disappointing experience we have both had at any place ever! There was also a hair in our spinach dip!

Very fun place to go. Would recommend for watching sports games and enjoying a night out.
However I did get the deep fried pickes and the dough was very very raw and not appetizing.
Would recommend it for the atmosphere as I haven't tried many other dishes here, but I'm not inclined to either.
Edit: I believe there was an owner change. The service is beyond slow. It seems that they dont have enough staff, as well the servers do not seem to know their menu. Normally, I ask for a recommendation and get to enjoy things I wouldnt normally order. However, this time the response I got was that they havent tried most items, and dont know "its up to me". Same with drinks, the bartender didn't drink. Imagine not trying a single thing you serve.
They dont give you a wet wipe with wings anymore.
The crowd is still pretty cool, and they still play sports.
