Crabby Joe’s – Waterloo: Great Vibes, Decent Food, and Top-Notch Nachos!

I was on the lookout for a spot that served great beer alongside some good food, and Crabby Joe’s in Waterloo seemed like the perfect pick. We were a group of five and decided to go with two pitchers of beer, some nachos, and a variety of other dishes, including coconut grilled prawns and chicken items.

The overall food quality was above average – nothing blew us away, except the nachos, which were absolutely top-notch. Crisp, flavorful, and perfectly loaded – they stole the show.

Service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout. The ambiance is casual and inviting, making it a great spot to hang out with friends and relax over drinks.

Parking was not an issue at all – plenty of space, which is always a bonus.

One thing to note: the prices are on the higher side compared to other resto-bars in the area. So while the experience was enjoyable, it might not be the most budget-friendly option out there.

Overall, a solid spot for drinks and good vibes, especially if you’re a fan of great nachos and friendly service.

Grateful they were able to take our team reservation on a Saturday. Food was as expected. Unfortunately, (and too common in these chain eateries) it was a painful, time-consuming process to pay and exit. Cost many of us nearly an hour extra that could have been better spent with kids having more time prepping for their next game.

Food has gone downhill. Used to be my favorite place to go eat, now I don't think I'll come back.

Nice place. Food was good but not exceptional. Prompt and friendly service.

While the restaurant itself is nice enough, I found the restrooms to be in poor condition, both cleanliness and functioning order. I gave the food 3 stars, I found the price was great, portions was perfect... I only dropped a star here because I thought the boneless wings were just meh. I would stick to regular wings next time. The service was NOT the star of the show. There were only 4 table for the entire duration of lunch, but there was a lot of waiting. We waited a long time for our bills... and we had afternoon meetings to run off to. I would certainly not go here again if I expect to fit lunch in my lunch hour!

Horrible experience, ordered cauliflower buffalo bites and they tasted horrible, asked for a refund or at least another meal that was around the same price and spoke to the manager directly. Gave us no help or had any intention of giving customer service, told us that it’s our fault for ordering the food. terrible never coming back

The service here is so slow and bad…. The food is consistent which is the only reason it gets 2 stars. Service is truly horrible.

The windows and dividers were disgusting ordered a coke gave me diet coke asked for coke took my drink and took almost 10m to bring me another made an order for calamari took them almost 15 m to come back to me to say apparently they don't sell calamari anymore but have coconut shrimp. Gave my significant other there order and gave me my onion rings waited almost another ten min for the turkey bacon club Ordered couldn't even eat half of it the bread was super hard the lettuce tasted dirty. And my significant other was basically done there meal before I got mine. Didn't give any sort of compensation the manager didn't even come out let the waitress take the heat. Will never be back. Do better.

Can the owner please call me asap. I will also be contacting the police. Your manager bob just attacked us infront of the whole restaurant screaming about how their kids meals cost more then ten dollars but they only charge 6.99 meanwhile they’re actually 8.99 and then when I asked how long he’s Ben in this industry he called me racist and then said I was I bad parent in front of my children. I was so upset that I lost control of my emotions, my daughter was crying. I can’t believe that this can happen. All over a bun that my son asked for when ordering his chicken off the kids menu.
This cannot stand! I have never left a bad review in my life and come to this restaurant on a regular basis. I will never step foot in there again and I I will share my experience with everyone that will hear it. This was absolutely disgraceful.

This location sucks they have rules that are different from other crabbys. You have to buy a drink per appetizer for the half off deal and you are not allowed to get a take out box to take your food home on half off apps which is crazy. The service is very slow. You also have a seating limit when the UFC is on. 👎

Crabbys is not the same! Chucks all the way!
