Ths food was great. I had the fish and shrimp platter. Shrimp cooked perfect. The fish was flakes and batter was crispy. I would recommend. Definitely come back.
Karen was a delight made the whole experience amazing. I will definitely be back. Very inviting atmosphere. I will spread the word. Thank you.
First time in and will definitely be back Food amazing, server was the best, we haven't had the kind of service in a very long time. Hope you are paying her enough so she stays. What ever you are doing, keep doing it. It works.
The food was delicious. The never ending meal was amazing. I ate sooooo much shrimp. And my server was so good. She kept bringing me more shrimp and I always had a drink. She was so friendly. I would totally come back if I lived in Lethbridge. Will definitely stop by next time I pass through.
Fabulous new decor, makes you happy to be here. It’s so bright and modern feeling. The food specials were amazing. The service…was excellent. Nice to be served by someone who actually enjoys her job.
Awesome food and service, great menu and in dine experience, would recommend
My hubby and I went to Joey’s for an early lunch for our 26th Wedding Anniversary AND Valentine’s Day - they happen to fall on the same day!! Joey’s is a great place to eat. The food is amazing, the prices are very reasonable for fish and the place (recently renovated) is really nice. Just not big enough! We’ve loved it every single time we’ve been there. If I happen to have leftovers, it’s a fight at home as to who gets them!! That’s a sign of great food!!
The service here was pretty good. The food was vey standard, I wish it had been hotter when it came out. My son enjoyed his sliders and fries. I had the fish and shrimp and it was very tasty. The location is nice with lots of parking and the interior is tidy and clean.
Its a long wait. Other customers come in later and get served, and we have been almost an hour already and still waiting for our food Service needs to improve for the prices they charge. Service
The food is great. Service was great. Very pleasant atmosphere. Parking: Lots of room to park any vehicle Food : 5/5 |
My Joeys fish tasted like rubber, my add on coleslaw was maybe 3/4 cup of dry cabbage extra $3.00. I will not be back any time soon. Very disappointed.

Great renovated restaurant and the best fish & cops and breaded shrimp
All you can eat fish yummy. The newly renovated restaurant is very fresh. Very neat. Very very updated. Management and staff are incredible. This business is locally owned and operated. Love Joeys. Have been a customer for years.
First time at this restaurant since the renovations. Menu is now incredibly limited and I realize this is a fish restaurant but you d think they d have chicken strips or something for non seafood eaters accompanying their family. Meals are served on metal trays that made the amount of food look pathetic and also it was just awkward to eat off a tray. Ordered battered shrimp and it was nothing like I ve had in all of my previous visits. Hardly any batter at all and very greasy. Was served some fries that were luke warm and had to wait for the rest of the serving, those arrived quite a bit later but at least they were hot. Gravy was lumpy and cold. Used to love this restaurant so overall it was really disappointing. Would not recommend and will not return.
Recently renovated and looks beautiful! The food is fantastic with some fantastic deals and the staff are absolutely the sweetest, inviting you in with a smile and warm welcome!
Friendly n clean Parking: Plenty of parking Food : 5/5 |

This experience was very disappointing. I went with friends. I used to love the food and was really looking forward to this. It has been years since I was here. It was Joeys only. The restaurant was clean and inviting. We were greeted. It was a bit of a longer wait to receive our food but not bad. I only seen one Chef and they had other orders. He was doing what he could. Upon ordering, there was a gluten free fish order. It came out on a separate, lets call it platter, along with the reg battered fish. It was brought to my attention and said to take it back and fix it please. I suggested to redo it as arts of yhe meal would get cold. His wife said she would take it so they have it to her instead and didnt fix their mistake. He ended up eating a reg fish which didnt compute why they would order a special meal. The presentation wasnt up to par. It was served on a small cookie sheet with brown parchment to line it. The fish was dry. I tried the indian infused batter. It was bland. The Mango pickle tarter sauce was inedible. I wont be back
Overall it was a pleasant experience. Friendly staff who were prompt and knowledgeable. Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere!! Wheelchair accessibility: Very open.
Very cozy and family oriented place with excellent food and very friendly staff. Highly recommended!
Wheelchair accessibility: Not much room to park a walker. Food
Great food, great service, we come here lots because it is so good!! Parking: Easy parking Food : 5/5 |
Love the fish and chips!! Spendy, but worth it! Food
The fish has gotten so thin and over fried, while the fries are under cooked. No more coleslaw with all you can eat. Slow service. Wife had a bad tasting piece of fish last night and now has food poisoning. Sadly our favorite fish place since I was a kid in the 80s and a place I worked for in calagry is no longer what it used to be at all. Wont be returning.
Always a calm atmosphere. It s hard to find better fish in town. Kid-friendliness: The kid menu has lots of options. Food : 5/5 |
Excellent food, excellent service, we like the new decor and friendly atmosphere
Good service and provided me with deals and meal options.
Cajun pan seared fish very good.
Good as usual, been a while but good
The service here is always very good. The food is fresh. The fish is great, and therere a selection of tasty menu items if fish isnt your favorite. I eat here with my family because they really like fish and its generally not my favorite, but even when I decide to try some here, I have to say, its very good.
It was the first time my wife and I ate here. Service and food was excellent. We will be back!

I came for dinner with ny mom and granny. And the hostess was so nice she rushed to the door to hold it open for us so I could bring my granny in with her wheelchair. And they where very accommodating of us needing a table for her chair. :)
We had a lovely meal and a sweet little waitress who came out and helped hold the door for my mom in her wheelchair. The food was great and the service exceptional. Thank you
Service was awesome!! Very friendly and kind, we had the coho salmon and it was delicious. We always come back, thanks for the good service and great food! Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating, offered my daughter something to colour and crayons. Thanks
Place was A breath of fresh air after going since the renovation. The place was clean and the food was excellent ( had the 3 piece joeys own fish and fries) which was seasoned nicely and cooked just right.
Traveling through from medicine hat going to Cranbrook and this is the first place I seen off the highway amazing food amazing atmosphere amazing service amazing food I would come here again

Joeys Only is freshly renovated. Parking is adequate. Access is people -friendly for all ages. Seating is comfortable. Best fish and fries ever!
Always a good time at Joeys! I love how accomplished the staff are for requests and the cheesecake is the best!
Had a nice relaxing evening. Food was great. Service was wonderful. Cheesecake was divine. Best therapy ever! See you in 2 weeks !
New renovations look amazing!! Food was great and fresh tasting. The cheesecake was spectacular as it always has been!!! Service was terrific.
We went the Joey s Fish Shack on the 21st April and it was not worth paying $60.00 as the service was lousy, food wasn t the best. Won t go there again!
Great food! All you can eat Tuesday.
I ve been to Joey s Fish Shack numerous times. The food is always fresh, hot and ready in a reasonable time no matter what I order. The renovations make this a great place to come to. The staff are busy, friendly and efficient. There s never anything to be concerned about when you dine at Joey s in Lethbridge. Great job Candace! Parking: Always lots of parking.
Had the best shrimp taco tonight!! Love Joey s, and the new look is such an amazing transformation. Thanks for the amazing service guys
Always great food at Joeys. The new renovations create a bit of a bottleneck at the front counter though during high traffic times.
Not a great return. Well we returned to give Joeys a second chance since the renos. Well the place does look great. The food went down hill. We ordered the halibut 3 piece 2 pieces were raw. Such a turn off. We will never return now. Our server was very gracious and discounted our meal.
Great food at great price! They know seafood so why go anywhere else!
Nice renovations done. Looks very nice. Food was good.
Since renovation, I ve only done take out but it looks great at the Lethbridge location. Fish is always light and crispy! Even with take out, just a few minutes in air fryer and fish n chips are kitchen fresh again. Great staff too. Parking: Ample parking at strip mall location
We went to Joey s after the new renovations, and were pleasantly surprised by the uplifting and attractive decor! We ordered calamari and clam chowder for appetizers, and both were excellent. We had the fish sandwich and chicken sandwich as mains. The plating is innovative, if a bit restrictive. The meals were good enough, but the buns were a tad burnt, and the brown rice a wee bit dry. For desserts, we ordered the non-baked lemon cheesecake and the deconstructed carrot cake. Both ideas promised more than what was delivered, mind you. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience. We will go again
The renovation is very nice and was much needed. We like the higher booth,feels a little more private. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla ,it was bland and on the cold side. Wasn t impressed with it ,won t get that again. My wife ordered the street tacos which she usually loves but they also where on the cold side and not as tasty has had been in the past. Seemed like it took longer than usual to get our food
My husband went and picked up an order of fish and chips last night I rarely ever give reviews but I must today They were the worst fish and chips we ve ever had in our 65/75 years! So very disappointing There was NO fish at all!!! The pieces were less than 2 wide !! We measured them I m including a picture My husband wanted to head right back and if it were not for having to babysit our grandsons we would have ! Needless to say we won t be going again and that s sad because growing up in the Maritimes we love Fish and Chips!
Great food quality and everyone is extremely hospitable ! We had such a lovely time here , and our waitress Kaily was so lovely ! Highly recommend this Joeys location for a good bite !
The building is renovated . Looks fantastic .. however the staff and very slow and 18 minutes for 2 piece fish . On all u can eat Tuesday. . And forever for fish refil ... wont be back .. to many chances given . Know is Time to voice my opinion
Great Fish Experience
Love the new look and the food is awesome.
The new reno is absolutely beautiful. I really like the design elements! The service was really friendly and prompt. Our meal was delicious! I was nervous about the gluten free pan seared option but it far exceeded my expectations. We ll be back! :)
Parking: good location friendly staff Food
Great place to eat . Food is very fresh all the time and friendly staff . Love this place.

Great sea food. Parking: Close proximity to Restaurant. Food : 5/5 |
Food was awesome, service was great.
My girlfriend and I both Seniors went back again tonight for supper. We had already been last night for their 2 for1 special & were so impressed with the renovations which were recently done, the all over cleanliness, the friendly staff, the service but most of all the quality of the food. This was the last night to enjoy the promotion of the 2 for 1 & we again had the Haddock, 2 delicious & large pieces of fish with homemade fries for $22.00. Will be going back again for sure. I would recommend Joeys to anyone. Thanks Joeys for a wonderful supper 2 nights in a row. See you again soon. Parking: Big parking lot. Wheelchair accessibility: I use a walker & it was very easy getting in & out.
Fish is always good, great staff, friendly and helpful. What can you say about the atmosphere, the smell of fish with the appropriate decor. Kid-friendliness: I see children in the restaurant, must be welcoming for them.
Very good food. Enjoyed it as always.
New decor, great food, fast friendly service, reasonable prices. Parking: Lots of free parking Food : 5/5 |
The new place looks marvellous clean, bright and comfy. My fish and chips were delicious. I hadn t had Joeys for awhile and I really enjoyed it.
best fish place in lethbridge Kid-friendliness: cater to young ones Food : 5/5 |
This place was newly reopened. At 4PM, which is about the time seniors go out for dinner, there was only one hostess to sit people and she also set up the tables with water, etc, leaving other guests lining up. Also, the music was way too loud. People had to scram at each other to be heard. Parking: No
Love the renovations, so much better! Service was great, especially at the front counter. Food was fantastic as always.
Very good fish & chips. Although the last time we went service was very poor. Restaurant was about half full. 2 waiters up front- one came by once when we first got in to give us menus- we had a coupon so we already knew what we were getting. We presented the coupon to her and assumed she knew what we wanted especially because she didn t come back to the table for 20 minutes. She came back 20 minutes later and asked us what we would like to order. We both looked at each other and laughed because we had been sitting there for 20 minutes and we had already presented the coupons you d think she knew what we wanted or if she didn t she would come back sooner to actually take our order. I understand mistakes happen, she obviously forgot about us lol.
Best place in Lethbridge for fish and chips. The renovations are fabulous.
We went on Valentine s Day and the service was amazing! Our server Lauren, was friendly and efficient! The halibut was outstanding. Will definitely go again
I went for lunch with my mother. Very nice waitress. The food was delicious as well Parking: Big lot easy to park.
Great staff.. Everyone is very friendly.. Especially the cooks.. Great place to be with friends or family.. And really tasty food.. Absolutely Loved it! Recommended!!
Everything was awesome Parking: Lots of parking. Food : 5/5 |
A coworker and I have ordered from here twice now. Both times our food took forever and was cold when we got it.. The same lady had told us they were busy. But only had two small tables..
Candace and her staff go above and beyond. The food is always delicious and fresh. Also reasonable prices. Highly recommend.
Need a better telephone system. Its hard to get through. Frustrating! Further -- you need to put your phone number on your take-out menu. Food
This place has sure gone downhill. Dirty. Small portions. Staff lacks training - unorganized, loud conversation and obviously no dress code.
Emma was an all-star. Super sweet and friendly!! Will be back for her service.
Was good delicious dinner had shrimp with Mac and cheese and fish tacos. Place is clean, friendly customer service.
My partner had ordered the pan fried snapper a month ago and we were sat right near the kitchen and heard the staff asking if they were still subbing the pollock in place of the snapper, which the manager agreed. No one came to the table to confirm the change was okay. I guarantee at that place you are NOT eating what you think you are. We walked out after canceling our order prior to getting it. The manager claimed he did not know that pollock and snapper were different fish.
Update 2023 Really glad Joey s has survived the last 2 years. It s still one of our favourite places to eat in Lethbridge. Great food and service. This Joeys is always busy because their food is excellent. Its the only Joeys Only that has never disappointed. Went again. Tried the tempura green beans and a special treat from the owner, a deep fried pickle. I couldnt believe how delicious the pickle was! The beans were also very good. We are always treated very well by the owners and staff. The food is delicious. I dont recommend other Joeys but I highly recommend this one. The atmosphere and seating are much nicer than others weve been too. The food is hot fresh and so good. They were more than happy to let me brew and make my own sugar free iced tea. We had the fish and chips for 2 for $20. Includes endless beverages a huge pieces of their battered fish...more than I can eat at lunchtime with chips and their yummy coleslaw and you get to share any dessert from the menu. We chose the kit Kat cheesecake that was excellent. We also took advantage of the 3 appetizers for $15 deal so we could try some new items. Everything right down to the dipping sauces were well matched and perfect accompaniments. I had to get half of my meal and dessert to go. It was enough for supper. For fish and seafood the prices are quite reasonable with something on special each day of the week. You wont leave hungry. We have always been very happy with the food the selection new menu items the service and the bill.
Took my Aunt out tonight to celebrate with my partner and I gotta say what an extreme disappointment this was. The service was okay not the best by any means. The food was terrible and that s putting it nicely! It came out on a tin tray! Honestly reminded me of prison food! I was absolutely in shock and embarrassed that I took my Aunt and partner here. The food presentation was a joke and especially just slopped onto the prison tray ! Last time I ate here they used plates and bowls! The food came out cold and just overall didn t taste very good! I actually sent mine back and it came back the same if not worse but I tried my hardest to take a few bites and had to call it quits! I wouldn t feed it to my dog! Nothing was compensated ! I love paying for terrible food and bad service! I should have known by how disgusting the bathrooms were just to leave at that point! I could only imagine how the kitchen looked! Also I had the chance of overhearing the waitress saying to another waitress that nobody has been cleaning the tables! I would never recommend coming hear ever! Completely avoid it and I will never come back!! $70 for trash! | Editing this review id give this now a half star because this was 2 months ago and as you can see the manger has commented below and did email me but since then has done nothing to help with the situation or anything! I even emailed back to see what could have been done and nothing from them. They obviously just comment on here to look good without actually fixing anything! NEVER RECOMMEND THEM AND NEVER RETURNING!
Awesome food great service, however the older male server told me that the next I come, Ill have to show a vaxx code. I told him, not on your life will I do that. He smirked at me, and I left. I met with the owner regarding some excellent business, but never heard back after a few texts. All good though, I still enjoy the fish. I may go back one day for sure
floor was sticky, tables werent cleaned. Only two people working a cook and a waitress, one more person working would have been nice to at least clean up after people leave, wiping down tables.
Very very disappointed theyve changed their menu the fish is very thin you dont get any sides with it now I am very disappointed and will not be back0
The food was amazing and the service was epic
Horrible music very dark and too loud...female washroom toilet seat busted,not very clean...drink glasses not washed properly my glass had lipstick on it...cooks no hair net no beard cover... kitchen staff rude..no utensils given had to ask for them.. I dont like giving bad reviews..Joeys where is your pride...
Poor service. Like they barely acknowledged us and then we sat for 20 minutes with no menus none of the tables were very clean, they had a cook in the back with no hairnet on his beard that s a obvious health violation. We just got up and left. I will be complaining to their head offices about it too cause that s just ridiculous.
The food was excellent as always. The service was very good. The restaurant was busy, but we still got our food quickly. Our table had the fish and shrimp combo with sweet potato fries and coleslaw, fish tacos and calamari rings . The portion sizes were huge! Good thing we shared. The food was hot and fresh and very good. For dessert we all had the deep-fried mocha mud pie, which was very good. We missed the 5 for 25 off the old menu, but were satified with the food we ordered . We missed the instore homemade cheesecake, but still enjoyed our meal so much. Looking forward to returning for our therapy night on March 31st. Parking: Excellent parking, lots of room
Food was good but the restaurant need a serious update the beach seats are worn right out kinda gross looking
Food was really good. Went with all our kids and everyone loved their food we had 0 complaints. Server and cook were also very friendly. Not sure why theres so many bad reviews but we had a lovely time here and food was decently priced as well.
Awesome service...friendly and prompt...will recommend and return!
Delicious , friendly, fast &
The food was good the service was terrible. When we walked in we were told to sit and waited over 10 mins for a menu. They were not busy. We ordered appetizer and got it after we had a our supper.
We ordered Fish and Chips through Skip the Dishes. When our meals arrived, the chips were cold and limp, the fish was soggy and did not come with tartar sauce or lemon as promised on the menu, the coleslaw was bland. I could not finish my meal so into the bin it went. I sorely regret that I spent $30+ dollars (including tip) on something that was so unpalatable.
After were a bit disappointed on Sunday, because they were closed until 12PM, we got us fisch and chips on Teusday. Not much of fisch it was more doughy but the fries were good. Too bad because I use to love Joeys. Food
We had a good family dinner, it took a bit longer than usual to get our food but was fresh and good tasting. Staff was friendly
Another dying restaurant of lethbridge, service was slow we received the meal before drinks and had to remind the server about it he said sorry but he was just really busy.... only 4 other tables at that time. Tartar sauce was horrible tasted off or maybe it was just a new recipe. Hopefully this place gets better staff
I loved the place and one of the most humble staff I have ever met. I saw some bad reviews but found nothing like that, everything was very good. The best seafood restaurant in Lethbridge.
Interior very shabby, needs updating, no atmosphere. Food ok Food
Good fish and service
great food , good service
The food is amazing, I have only ordered take out and has been an excellent value and delicious food!
Bad experience. The prices change when you get to check out. 2 for 1 wasnt available at checkout.
Away great food and great friendly service
