Joey's Fish Shack - Medicine Hat in Medicine Hat

Excellent take out offer...delicious food

I love fish and chips so I usually do take out from here as I live an hour away and use my air fryer to reheat them

Husband and I had a great supper tonight with great service!

Did take out, a little pricey for amount you get

Love their haddock and chips. I wish they would put the tartar sauce in the bottles on the table so you didnt have to bother the waitress for more. Very yummy meal though.

My wife and I both had the 2pcs (pollock) and chips with coleslaw. The cost was $16 each. The portions of fish on my plate were a little on the smaller size and kind of skimpy on the fries. However the fish tasted fresh and was cooked well not overdone. Just an update (2023) we have ordered the Take Out special of the 10 pcs 4 times during the past 6 months and I do not believe there is a better value out there. The food was fresh and tasty and good quality.

Great Fish and Chips.

All you can eat fish and chips on Tuesday. The Fish is Pollock nicely breaded in batter and deep-fried. Served with home cut fries, this meal was da bomb! Good prices and friendly service made for a nice meal out..

Went for all you can eat and was pleased that the cod was cooked perfectly each time, enjoyed my meal, back a second time, still very good.

This place is awesome the new owners are amazing and very friendly. I haven t been in years and this new version is beautiful. I love the coleslaw and the cod is always done right and quick. It s a very good deal for all the fish. The fish and shrimp combo is to die for with the Cajun spice! Will be back!!

They are first class people that operate it. The food is first class, the staff is first class and the atmosphere is first class. Run not walk here

The food and service is always good, and the prices reasonable. Going to Joeys is always a treat.

Fish is not as big as before and no coleslaw. For the price I think you should get bigger pieces and coleslaw. And better chairs they are so hard

Staff very rude on the phone when asking to speak to the owner and aggressive id like to sit down with the owners and talk about the behavior of the one staff member

Great food ,nice staff. Fast service.

Service is gone waitress score dates, instead of serving all customers.

Enjoyed our fish fest with ample to cure the growlies

I love it here

Excellent service...friendly staff.... Good food. Cold drinks quite expensive- $3.50. Would order water next time.

We havent been here in a few years, the food and service was fantastic. The kids and myself loved our fish and chips!

Great place to eat...

Lots of great memories of the grandparents here, will visit again soon

Great place to eat! Great food, awesome staff, and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend it to everyone!!

Great server. Fish was great. Fries and gravy need work

The place is more flashy than it used to be, less homey, but the fish is as crisp and tasty as it ever was. Best in the country!

Order was ready the staff polite unfortunately one piece of fish the other old and tough

It is a great place to get fish and chips are done fresh and hot.

Although this may seem to be a small issue. Customer requests extra lemon wedges, also no malt vinegar in the order. We did not receive what we asked for. Didn t mind paying extra for the lemon or vinegar. We are paying for a service and you fell short of our requests.

Always good and a fair price

A really nice waitress served us, we decided on fish tacos. Arguably some of the best fish tacos Ive had, and most definitely the best tacos Ive had in Alberta. Vegetarian options: A fair few vegetarian options

Great fresh food, good value and nice and clean. Our server was sweet and worked hard to provide a good experience. We will definitely be back.

Not too big on seafood but I love tartar sauce. So Joeys on all you can eat Tuesday is the place I like to go. One of the best gravy in town

Excellent meat and great service

Very good takeout!!!!

missing the homemade coleslaw for sure. Ive been here a few times now and fish is always hella greasy, maybe it needs to visit some sort of a drying napkin before it hits the plate? super super greasy. it should taste more like flaky chicken than a deep fried soggy stick of butter. they also used to make the Caesar salad per order, now it seems like it might be sitting in the back for a while. the quality of food went down while the prices went up. cant believe Im actually saying this but mouros battered frozen fish might actually be better. and cheaper.

The place got a different vibe now compared to what the old one was it was like dark dungeon but now the new 1 is very bright and good music and great people and good food and good service

Cmon

Great tacos

Food was great and service was even better

Fish was tasteless, fries old, gravy was disgusting. AC out on a very hot day. Chairs hard to sit on. Crowded eating area. Cramped in setting. Nope, not going back.

Fish and chips was amazing and the service was great!

The dinner for two is my favourite. Always fresh and great tasting

Food was good. Service friendly and accommodating.

Very good nice food good

Great place to get fresh fish and chips out here on the flat land . The new staff have turned this place around and 110 % cleaned the place up .

Amazing garlic fries! Def my go-to in Med Hat for fish and chips!

Reopened a while ago. Great food and very friendly service. Will stop again for the garlic fries!

Good food ... Great service ... Only problem ... The music is to loud, difficult to have a conversation with your table partner.

What a great experience. The new renovations are definitely interesting. Much less like a cafe, and much more fun and modern. The new menu appears to have fewer items, but more creative and interesting menu items. The service was simply incredible. Servers were pleasant, helpful, friendly and prompt. Overall a great experience! My only slight critique might be the coleslaw which seemed to be missing a little something. But very happy with my visit.

Newly renovated, new owners, new updated menu items, and new staff!! Been there numerous times since the updates and it has been a great experience. The food has been delicious, the staff has been friendly, great customer service, nice clean establishment and good price for the amount food you will be served! If you ate here before the new owners took it over and were displeased, please give it another try now! You wont be disappointed! Definitely made my top 5 places to eat in Medicine Hat.

I would give a minus 5 star if I could. Order online and you find your phone locks onto the monaris pay section. Took almost an hour to get control of my phone. Call the store to complain and they hang up. No offer of reason. Clearly have no idea of their system and no access to resolve issues. They have good food but I will never use them again nor will I promote them.

Totally incredible... Loved it. Not greasy just delicious and the portions are big. Definitely going back.

The menu has definitely changed. The food is well cooked and plated.

Amazing food and staff. Very welcoming and helpful staff. The food always looks better than the pictures. These tacos are Instagram worthy.

Love this place excellent fish and chips, highly recommended.

Would be a higher rating IF they actually had Halibut.

I had the tofufish and Greek fries. Well, it was totally delicious!! Hubby had fish and garlic fries ... very garlicky lol he really enjoyed it. Will definitely order again! Thank you !

I got my order from Skip so this is based solely on the food itself. I got my bag and of course they included a lot of the fixings for my fish and chips including an individual small cup of ketchup, tarter and there was vinegar and salt in the bag. I love salt and vinegar on my fries, and the fries themselves were so crispy and perfectly fried. They were my favourite part of the meal. However, as I got to the fish things got pretty depressing. The fish was battered, and the batter itself was very delicious and crispy. I would have enjoyed it if the fish wasn t so dry, rubbery and tasteless, it was like gnawing on an old sandal. There was also a few bones in the filet which was kind of disturbing. I stopped after a few bites and had to discard it. I was starting to get nauseous from that fish. To be perfectly honest I probably won t order from here again based on the performance of the fish. This was my first time ordering from here and a place that boasts their specialty best fish and chips and fails to deliver like that, it s pretty damning. I haven t sat in the restaurant yet and actually had the whole experience of the restaurant, but if I had I definitely would have sent this meal back still, and asked for a properly fried fish. I love fish and chips, especially when I don t have to make it myself! But this was kind of insulting and really a waste of money for what might have been an expensive cut of seafood. But once they fried the life and taste out of it value was lost. I would be ashamed to spend money on that.

The food was amazing but we were forced to give a extra 10% just cause we were eating with another family on the same table. This was very very disappointing. Customers should never be forced to pay extra just cause there s six people.

Great tasting fish tacos and the ahi tuna avacado toast was amazing! Service was super and the only reason I didn t give 5 stars were the metal chairs, not made for big bottomed people

Best seafood in the city

I am very disappointed that they cannot take the time to do home made french fries. Now that would make it a fish and chip shop and fantastic. The prices have gone up for the quality of food. the only thing we like and go in quit often for is the fish. We get the two piece and the fish portion is great but as I said the fries are disgusting and the coleslaw is not what it should be. The staff should have a dress code. the girls in their short shorts do not belong in the family fish and chip shop. They belong in a bar. But of course we will continue to go just for the fish.

The food is amazing

Love the fish. Thanks

A dependable meal. Fresh hot fish and chips were tasty. We were hurried along because they were closing early for a staff meeting (???). However we didnt intend to linger for the atmosphere anyways.

Bagged slaw, no halibut, just extra grease.

Nice place for dinning

Wow this must be the end of Joeys, their new Reno is to make sit in really small as their fish and chips must have no sales and their new direction is to lose the fish side and concentrate on the street eats side

Fries were cold ....gravy was cold... cabbage salad had no flavor....clam chowder didnt need deep fried clams..do better

Food was overdone service so so. Overdone fish is really sad

Ordered 3pc cod and fries to go. Fish was greasy,fries were under cooked, coleslaw was dry and flavourless.

Good food but service sucks there

Very clean place,very friendly staff but the frys are not fresh cut ,frozen stuff how disappointing

Thrilled I had the chance to stop here on one of my runs thru Medicine Hat, As a trucker the sit down service was quick and friendly, I had the crispy chicken sandwich and sweet patato fries. It was to die for!! Can t wait to get sent thru again!

Hubby and i were quite excited to try our Joeys shack. Atmosphere was great, place was clean, service was good, but we were disappointed in the food. The fish was very greasy, the fries were minimal and the price was EXTREMELY HIGH. We could of gone for a steak supper for about $5.00 more. Sorry but wont be back for awhile.

Our first visit since the reopen was today and I was very impressed with the food and decor updates. Excellent service and eats. The kids meals also had a decent amount of food for the price. Heads up though, there is less space than before so if you want in on All You Can Eat night show up early!

So yummy!!!

The food was amazing service little lacking

This is the best fish and chips shop in Medicine Hat.

Good food, and swift service!

Love Joeys!! Amazing food and not to bad prices. Tend to go every other Tuesday for their all you can eat.

Good food

Service wasnt great. Food was good

Cost here has become too much to eat here any more. They dont carbonate the pop, its always flat. My son ordered the fruit bowl with his meal and it was a bowl of pineapple with a few melon bits in it. The fish is delicious, but wont be back as the cost is too much. A lunch for myself and my 4 yo exceeded $30 without any appetizers or adult beverages. Im very sad to leave this review, as I do really like the fish.

Good portions, and the service was good as well. The down side is it needs to be updated badly, looks very old and run down. The fish taco is good and you cant go wrong with the fish n chips.

my fiance and I had a great time :)

Great tasting fish.

Went in and was served right away. Fish was good size and the fries seemed freshly made. Service was very quick. Less then 5 minutes. Wish the slaw was a larger portion for what you pay. Nothing really outstanding about the taste of either the fries or fish. Maybe Ill ask for some Cajun spice next time. Kinda bland. Fish battar was crunchy, ill give them that. 5 stars for the service, 2.5 stars for the fish. Fries werent anything special. They were hot and crunchy but pretty ordinary for taste. Was told the fries are unlimited but Im watching my diet so I didnt take advantage of that.

Good

The food was good though the share could of had more information we werent sure how much of each we were getting. My little brother in law had a piece of plastic in his carrots. But they did give us 50% off his meal. So that was good.

Great as always.

Food was good but service could have been better

Very good resturant if you want good fish and the service is fast and freindly!

Great food and prices. Awesome staff.

The female manager up front of the house is horrible...... unfriendly and horribly rude ...... find a new job please so I can get my fish and chips back please

First impression wasnt appealing. The restaurant is outdated but the food was great! The server was okay but thats probably because she was the only one there

They have the best fish tacos.

Goooood

Tuesday are the best day to go. The calamari is really good too!!!!

The veteran waitress just kept on keeping on tables and people after they closed. The cook was having a temper tantrum the entire restaurant could hear.

Good place to eat

No flavor to the food.

Great service.

I enjoy Joey Seafood Restaurants - normally. My visit this time was a big put me off. I sat watching the waitress standing - looking at the computer screen when another customer got up from her table and approached her asking if she could take her order ! She took the one ladies order then went back to computer screen watching. I was aware of two other tables that were waiting to have their orders taken at the time so decided to give her two more minutes to at least take the other table orders - she didnt so I got up and left. No I very much think Joes in the Hat will not be visited by me again.

Good service. Delicious clam chowder.

Great fish and chips but needs a makeover

Always great #!

Great service, always get treated good

Fish and chips were very good, service was quick and good

Great food. Staff are very friendly

Beautiful fish and chips. Top quality and generous servings. Customer service excellent.

Love the fish. Staff could be more friendly.

Good food decent portions

I hadnt been there for a few years, so I was in the mood for Fish and Fries and decided to go to Joeys! Lets just say it wasnt the same I found the fish was way to oily and the SERVICE was very poor, I was the only person in the place so you would think that they would get my order right 3times before it was! Needless to say I will not be going back!

The food was ok...it was not very clean and they allowed someone to bring their small dog into the restaurant. It was not a service animal.

I was really surprised I received fantastic service! Very friendly staff super fast service and the portions where huge and when it came time to pay I was very pleased with the price! Will be back soon in the future!

Fish cooked to perfection and very fresh. Some other establishments could learn how to cook fish to this standard.

Food was no good.

The worst service I have ever had in a restaurant. The thing is their service is terrible at all their restaurants. Tried it in Calgary and Medicine Hat and the the staff are rude not professional

Very good portions and clean. Friendly prompt service

The food is great, But their service not so good.

Great Fish! Thanks

Very greasy place..they do not clean properly

Great place to eat on Tuesday all you can eat

Good food. Clean. Frengly no ever emyty drinks.

Joey is very good

Horrible food, horrible service. First time back in over a year and it was no better. Wont go back.

Good food. Fast service. A little bit cramped quarters, but when you get fish and chips and the fish is almost hanging off the plate, it is worth the money.

It was okay.

Good fish tacos for the price.

Great food. Awesome service

Fish is always DELICIOUS

Great value

Great food, would give a 5 stars if its wasnt for the service..

Service wasnt very good

Pricey and food greasy

Great place good service!

Havent been there in a long time . It was an all around mess . Waitress couldnt speak English nearly at all and couldnt follow basic instruction . I sat in a booth and the seats are worn to ribbons . The fish is not what I remember from years ago . It was 2 inches wide , 1/4 inch thick and 8 inches long and tough , so freezer burnt ? Comical . I asked if there was a lunch special and she said NO . Came home , looked on the website and there is . Good one ......

Customer service is kind and prompt. The food portions are generous, the dishes however should have more flavor than it does. I have been to to restaurants that dont specialize in seafood and enjoyed the flavour much much more.

A bit dated and rough looking but the food was great and the service was wonderful....

Good food but filthy house keeping

Tasty as usual. Good service.

I speak plain English and required a translator so I gotta ding them for that but the food was good.

Fast service. Fish and chips were hot and tasty.

Great food!!! Unwelcoming staff..... go here quite often but its definitely not for the service. What they lack In etiquette they make up for in yummy fish ^_^/ Perhaps the staff need a raise? Or their management is terrible? Do they even get their tips ? Retail and the service industry can drain a person (believe me I know), customer after customer, so much demand for what seems like such little reward....but its hard to want to visit there, its hard not to take it personal, its definitely harder to leave a tip ( but do ) hopefully in hopes the attitude can some what change.... Burn out is all too real, and although I can sympathize, its harder on the business. Not many people are as forgiving ... Either way these poor servers hate you the minute you sit down and it shows ..... We just really love the fish

Fish & chips Yummy

This is the second time that I ve tried to go for all you can eat. Both times I walked away WITHOUT ANY FOOD!!! Last time was because they decided to change their closing time, and it was 7.30 so they weren t serving any more. (Where most places will still take orders up until the time that they lock the doors). Tonight we were told that it wasn t all you can eat because apparently one of their fryers were down (they were still selling 3piece fish for $15, you just weren t allowed to get all you can eat?!?!). I won t ever be going back. What s the point when you always walk away disappointed!! *I would have preferred to give only half a star, or possibly a negative star, but that wasn t an option*

The food was decent. The basa tasted good. It was my daughters first time at a Joeys and she loved the fish. She wanted more but only one came with the kids meal. They gave her a huge bowl of fruit which I mostly ate for her. We were both full by the end. It was good.

Great service! Awesome food!

The food is good and the service is great. Our waitress was a hoot.

Great fish coleslaw out of a bag otherwise would of been a five star

This was my second time going for the all you can eat fish tacos on Thursday. After the first time I was skeptic to come back given how poor the service was. The food was incredible both this time and last, however unfortunately there didnt seem to be much change in the service. Great price, great food, definitely worth five stars, but front end manager really brought down the experience.

There wasnt much of a wait and it was relatively busy when we arrived. The actual space is simple with booths and tables. Food was a 4/5 but the service was disappointing. If you get the dark haired waitress youre in luck, as shes not bad! If you get the front end manager, sorry for your luck. She was fighting with the owner and it didnt stop there. Its quite obvious she doesnt like her job... Disappointed!

Over cooked and greasy fish. Never again

Menu is limited to what it was years ago...I hadnt been to Joeys in over 15 years. Tables were sticky and the place seemed a bit...tired, but not terrible. Food was average for average cost, but our server was great!

The fish tacos are nice and crunchy. Great for lunch.

Honestly its a good thing the food is good! The staff and restaurant environment do not feel welcoming at all. The menu kind of sucks, if someone has an allergy to some ingredient avoid this place as they cannot make customized orders. This even goes to ordering the family platter, unlike ANY OTHER restaurant they will not make any substitutions for the coleslaw. I suggest the restaurant looks into making substitutes and customized orders. They would then easily get 4 or 5 star rating.

Great fish..great service..hot and crispy..

Fast service and good food

Where to start. Terrible service sat there for almost 15 minutes without even drinks(no one was in the restraunt). Food was terrible Ive had a better burger from a gas station . All I can say is dont waste your time or money on that place pathetic.

If they had some of the menu items not all but most and the service was nice

Staff here is very nice, and remembered us every time we came back. We moved away but we will miss this Joeys!

Good food and good staff
