Shoeless Joe's Sports Grill in North York

Amazing! Best restaurant to come and have some solid food and a couple bears with your friends.

We came in late, but they accommodated us Our server was lovely. She answered all my questions. We stayed past closing without the staff rushing us out...I thought that was very nice of them. Food : 4/5

Burgers look like they do in the picture! Unbelievable! tasted great too. Shrimp noodle bowl is too sweet and very wet, almost like pho. Wings are ok, sauces is weak but for $15.99 for a pound, absolutely not worth it. Got the penne sausage pasta. Sausage used was not good, tasted like hot dog. They need to use Italian sausage. Would not recommend it. Nice place to watch the game. Many tvs as well as a big screen. Servers were fast and friendly.

Excellent customer service. Limited gluten free option.

Galena is the best bartender/server in the city!

Great food and staff.

Came here for UFC 309, and even with a packed house they found a way to seat us so that we could enjoy the fight. Amazing work by the staff.

The food and service were excellent.

As a franchise you should offer happy hour. This is the only shoeless that does not offer the happy hour. Food : 1/5

Soggy fries, waiter disappears after delivering food making me go after her to get the bill not to mention the greasiest spinach dip I ve ever seen

Thanks to Shelby for the best caesar!!!

GIf the could ever get organized it would make for a great experience.. disirganized managers and owners havent got a clue on staffing and coverage

Only come here if Richard is cooking, otherwise its not worth your money to come in. Most of the staff is lovely and kind. But Richards cooking never disappoints

Perfect Sports bar. The manager Ronnie is really helpful with any questions or concerns.

Apparently, because this is a franchise, they dont have to supply milk or chocolate milk despite that being listed on the menu. We had two kids with us, so that was a HUGE disappointment for them. Our waitress was quite nice, but obviously over-busy with customers, so the service was not very good. The service was extremely slow, and I had to get up to get her attention twice because she apparently did not have time to visit our table more than once. The washrooms are terrible! It appears this location has declined a lot in the past few months. Will NOT be going back!

Awesome experience, this was my first time in Shoeless and Liz was the best server, she asked for a special sauce for us and it was super delicious I will come back definitely, she is the best

Thank you very much Liz, your service was very good and you always have a nice smile.

Wings and the taco salad were very good

Great service!

The service me and my friends received were not at its best. We had to stand up and walk towards to servers to receive service, and lastly they forgot an order.

Beautiful covered patio. Server was inattentive. Food was just okay. Beverages overpriced.

WENT FOR BESTFRIEND BIRTHDAY, WONDERFUL TIME,LOVELY PEOPLE

Perfect place to grab a great lunch Parking: Close to front door Food : 5/5 |

Went for drinks on Wednesday night. The person behind the bar was not paying attention at all. Very poor service. She needs to get better at her job. She is clueless.

Male washroom was extremely disappointing to say the least .

Love it and friendly staff

Amazing service and the bartender is absolutely lovely , I think her name is kalina

Good place to watching game , food good , dring margarita is the best

I went here for dinner with my family to watch the soccer game. Our server who is not named because she never introduced herself was not in a good mood, she never checked up on us, we ordered a poutine and chicken bites and we put the plates that we were finished with to the edge of the table for her to take and we kept our plate of chicken bites between my girlfriend and I. She took the plates without food and also took the plate with our chicken bites as well. I was stunned and didn t want to make a scene so I did not say anything. My family ordered two orders of wings and she did not offer OR bring us wet wipes for our hands. There is wet wipes available because I saw another table had them thanks to their server. I ordered two pints of Molson Canadian but she charged me for two Stella s. I m a server myself so I know when service is good or not good. My family and I will never be back and I will not recommend to anyone I know to go there. Thank you to the unknown lady with braided hair.

How racism this place!!! The girl working at the bar choose her clients and if she doesn t like you so she issue the cheques right away and will ask you to leave, I can easy sue you for that action and will most likely do that in the next few days, enjoy your not professionalism attitude at all team there and see you in the court

Im sitting in the restaurant for over an hour an nobody asks me my order, very poor and ignorant service

We had an amazing time watching the Columbia vs Argentina game! To the managers, I wanted to especially thank Sonam. She was wonderful to us the second we walked in the door. She accommodated us and made sure we had a wonderful experience. Her customer service skills are impeccable and she should 100% be a server instead of a hostess. She is truly an asset to your restaurant. Our food was amazing as well! We will definitely return!!

We have been long time patron of Shoeless Joes, This by far is the worst location. The service was poor at best. Our food was inedible. We mentioned it to the server and she went to the manager who offered us a free ginger ale. The one meal we did not eat at all because it was burnt and unappealing. They refused to redo it or take it off the bill. I doubt we will ever go to this location again.

Got a Canadian pint in a regular Blue Moon pint glass, 17 oz. Bartender Charged me for a 22.5 oz. I always tip but didnt this time because I know the difference between 22.5 oz and 17 oz. Shady. Food

Great time always. A great place to bring all the friends to grab a drink and watch some sports! Liz was amazing, great customer service! Food

Good food. We were 8 people and food was coming very slow. Very few vegetarian options available.

The Best Chicken Tenders with Fries I have Ever Had. A must stop. Also the Burger With Fried I ions and Porky Belly is a must. Nice staff.

went there for maple leafs game 4. would not let us sit in booth without reservation but there booths open the entire time.ticket time for food was about 20 mins. the hostess hates her job. disappointing

place was dope until they told us to get out, because we didnt order enough food even tho we paid 70 dollars and with no people outside waiting.

This place is literally only men over 40.

I liked the restaurant & the food is perfect

We always go for lunch so it quite quiet there. They have an excellent chef. The first time we went, we were surprised at the quality of their salads. The crispy sa$mon salad is divine, and expected in a sports bar. The other salads are also good. The guys said the fish & chip were excellent. Evening is apparently very busy since it is a sports grill and folks go to watch games and eat & enjoy a drink with friends while doing it. They have a screen in every booth, but lots of tables and high table through out the venue. It a large place. And the ladies bathroom is clean. Vegetarian options: Salads

Waitress was great . Food was good atmosphere a little out dated and run down . But had a good time

Food is very good, chef has gotten better. Waitresses are very beautiful,friendly, great service

The server came to our table twice and never came to checkup. THEY ALSO SERVE ADULTS DRINKS IN KIDS CUPS, so if your waiter doesnt come around every 5-10 minutes. Goodluck getting a drink. Money must be tight with budget cuts like that.

Rude staffs

I am very disappointed with the service here. We had our dinner here and were waiting for the billiard table but gentlemen close by the billiard table were the only ones playing billiards all night long. We went close to the billiard table since they were almost done with their game but the bartender yelled at us and told us that there s no space for us to be there. I am very upset as we came hoping that we could actually try playing with the billiard.

Great place to watch PPV and sport events

Provided excellent food and service for our corporate pub night.. Highly recommend!

Very dark inside. Food was made very well.

Great service

Food and drink were magnificent; atmosphere beautiful big space, one single billiards table so first come first serve i was happy i got to play at least one game

Place needs a renovation service sucks we waited over 30 minutes for our drinks and the place was not busy. Staff were sitting around and chatting.

Great service. Great waitress Kim. Very pleasant, always smiling and pleasant. 10/10. We love coming here as the food is great and Kim is always smiling and very accommodating.

The managers are next level when it comes to customer satisfaction,so happy with the service and the friendly environment! Shoeless Joes has really come along way.

Julia was a very sweet server! I d come back again

Its okay but I wasnt super impressed with the food. Service was excellent. Im sure it good sports bar food but wasnt blow away. I mean its probably more me than the food to be honest.. good sports spot with food

Busy for a Thursday night but service was not that great. We had a table of 10 with 6 kids and waited almost 45mins for our meals.

We went here for a couple drinks on my friend s birthday and we got seated right away and got great service, our waitress got our food and drinks out right away and made sure to check up on us and gave us a great experience!

Amazing service and great food.

Friendly welcoming staff Good food 1 pool table regular size Prices Toronto usual Parking: Outdoor with plenty space

Great Sports Bar with awesome food, drink & staff!!

Went with a group of 10 people. The server was amazing in dealing with everyones order. Amazing staff

Food is sports bar food...nothing special

Its an ok place, food is great, service not so great ( maybe because we ate at the bar), atmosphere is ok. If your looking for a lively sports bar this may not be it.

I had a really bad experience in this place, the owner is really rude, I would never come back.

overpriced bar food. ordered fully loaded nachos with ground beef extra charge. This is what i got, nothing different underneath.

Great food!

Amazing place for an outing with friends/family/ colleagues whether to just catch up or watch sporting events!!!

Coolest bar staff and servers in the city

Had a great time,

I m not one to write reviews and I do apologize for this, but the food was not prepared well at all. Both my partner and I had a hard time enjoying the food, there were people arguing with one another and a fight was close to happening. There was only 1 server who was doing everything on her own and cudos to her for holding it down. Just a poor experience overall.

Cant say nothing about the food as I waited more than 30 minutes seated in one booth with my family of 4 and no waiter o waitresses came to us to even ask for drinks. We ended up leaving and saw other people do the same thing. If you dont have enough staff to serve the customers at least tell us when we come in.

great food, our server yulia was delightful and the atmosphere is fun.

I like the atmosphere

We ordered a serving of shared nachos on January 6, 2024. There were more nachos than topping. See the pic of our leftovers. Not happy. Fries were good. Service during when the place is crowded is slow.

They brought our meals. The waitress gave 2 of us the wrong food. When we explained to her that the guest ordered honey garlic chicken and not parmesan she didnt care. After it was repeated she went into the kitchen and brought a container of honey garlic sauce and dropped it in front of him without as much as a sorry. I tried to tell her to fix the meal it was with no response. When my food came I explained that this was the other gentlemans food she had no interest in fixing things. I had to tell her a third time I dont want this I didnt order it. After the meal was over they finally came back to top up our drinks. We asked for the manager the waitress left came back the manager was busy but all she could offer was $8.00 off for the cost of the chicken he ate the rest. NO SERVICE = NO TIP. Will not be back and this was a company function.

Omg im still drooling

Very bad service

Kim is our go-to server. Awesome persona, even during snowstorms . Wheelchair accessibility: 2 spots Food : 5/5 |

We were asked to move our tables because our reservation time was up. The food & the service also wasnt that great.

Pub food. Decent. Service was not great

Not a really good selection on food

Came here for a company Chistmas party as we were in the area. Simply put - everything could be improved. Service wasnt bad - but definitely was not great! Took a long time to get drinks, food (and even then, the order wasnt taken correctly). There are not a lot of vegetarian options and nothing for vegans. Bar service was so so - lots of people getting attention sitting at the bar but it took forever (as mentioned earlier) to get drinks Tons of parking! I hope this was just a bad day.

When we arrived it took 30 minutes just to be asked about drinks. Once we ordered the food took forever. The food was very poorly made. My sandwich was all soggy and wet. We ordered a cookie for dessert that took over 30 min to come and it shows up all burned. We just couldnt bother paid and left. I ordered bottled water and wasnt even given a glass. The wait staff where doing there best as there were only 2 working. Dinner took over 2 hours. It was horrible experience wont be going back to this location for awhile.

Everything was perfect, good service, cold beer, perfect, it wasnt crowded.

At Shoeless Joes now. Our server has been distracted all night. She hasn t checked back on us. Getting a drink refill has been basically impossible. The only game available on the screen was the Junior hockey game so we could not watch the Raptors game. 2/10 recommend for a night that involves absolutely any business **In response to the owners response. I would take the survey to give you additional information but every time I click on the Dufferin location it redirects me to the google page. Double fail.

You ever go to Wonderland and wait 40 minutes in the line just for 5 minutes of satisfaction? Yea? Well then we re on the same page because that s all I got at this joint. It took 15 minutes just to be seated while we watched rolling tumbleweed. 2 years later we were offered drinks and a century went by and I finally got my water. The fish and chips needed more salt.

Absolutely horrible!!! Was here with my hockey team and we only got our food right when we had to leave, AFTER WE PRE ORDER. WE HAD TO WAIT OVER 30 MINUTES, also I asked for medium steak and they gave it to me very very pink and not at all medium. The whole thing was a big mess and we we re almost late to our next game. The manager was not at all helpful and should not say that they can accommodate such a big group if they clearly can not. The tables were also not big enough for all of us even though we said what size our group was many day prior. Our group had to rearrange the tables multiple times. There was not cutlery or water waiting for us either. There was also only 2 bill machines for over 60 people but at one point we could only use 1 machine. The manager was clearly only interested in the money and not service. Lots of families paid for food they did it even get because of the rush we were in. ALSO people got lots of food wrong and things they didn t even order. Over all DO NOT GO HERE especially with a big group!

The food was not bad, some dishes were a bit pricey based on the taste and quantity, however the late night 50% appetizers are a pretty good deal.

We reserved and they sat us down at the wrong table and then set up a makeshift table as an afterthought in a bad spot. Then we had to wait a very long time for our drinks/food. Do not recommend.

It was okay place. Food was decent for a bar. Prices not outrageous and its nice that the booths had TVs on them individually

RESERVATIONS DO NOT WORK. You will makr a reservation, show up, and tell you they arent taking reservations. Severely, and I cant stress this enough, SEVERELY understaffed. Wait times of 20 minutes to get water, 15 more to order, 40 for food. Plus, they limited the drinks and food menu to some items because of how badly they were swamped at the kitchen and bar.

Refused to honor an open table reservation and when they finally sat us, left us without a server, drink or menu for 30 minutes before we left.

Great

The food is normal bar food (recommend the mountain of nacho). The waiters are always amazing and friendly, Today Anna the waiter was great. Truly recommended for sports nights or get-togethers.

Quick and friendly service. The food was delicious. The environment was fun!

Went there with my gf at 9pm and sat there for 40mins with zero service. There was this girl said give her five minutes and no one came for half an hour and finally I went to the bar and ask for service to get someone to order for us and no one came and not even water for us Really really bad experience

Good service and food.

Fun atmosphere nice people

As a Latino I had the worst experience of my life in Canada in shoeless, lousy service and attention I feel discriminated against for being Latino. thanks Melissa

Recommend. Not loud. Good food.

Very poor customer service I waited over an hour for my food. The waitress didn t even ask if everything is ok

The usual as expected only the service was sub par on this night.

The service is a slow, but acceptable. The food is Bland and often tasteless. Most of the time this location Dufferin and Senlac, is empty.

There are many Shoeless Joes but this one is special. The service is great, the staff are friendly (including the bartender Galina whos here all the time and provides speedy and hilarious service) the food is good even for a franchise of a bar/grill and its a great local spot for everything from family gatherings, watching sports or even hanging with the pals and at the pool table. Highly recommend it.

Amazing service...Amazing staff...... Amazing food..

Good food

My waitress had no menu knowledge but acted like she knew everything

I was so impressed by my experience at this location of Shoeless Joes! I have many dietary restrictions, and the staff were extremely accommodating and helpful. My flatbread was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this restaurant and will return as often as possible!!

Food tastes good, and draft beer is fresh :)

Good atmosphere, friendly efficient staff

Food could be better.

Food is good but because there is a party happening they won t serve you in a timely matter iv been waiting with my husband and baby for more than 1hr :30 mins .. at this point we want to leave just pay our drinks .

Apparently on a Saturday at dinner time they only have one person working the whole restaurant so we didnt even get a table

I recently visited Shoeless Joes - Esplanade and had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with plenty of TVs to watch all the latest sports games. The staff was friendly and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, I recommend Shoeless Joes - Esplanade to anyone looking for a fun and delicious spot to watch the game.

Good place to go in a group

This is so worst service they have u gonna tired calling and calling the server

I have been coming here for years and received Phenomenal service by Alex who has gone above and beyond. Only 8 days in and she has caught my attention .. a big keeper, definitely will be coming back. Parking: Parking is free and very accessible to anyone Wheelchair accessibility: This establishment is prepared for walkers and wheelchair riders

Great eats, drinks, and vibe Dietary restrictions: More carbs, low carbs, more protein low or.hjgh protein, less fat etc the menu has choices Parking: Accessible parking is 1-2 spots only near the front door.

Fun place but a loooooong time between being able to order and then another looking time to at least receive a drink

I had a good time in this Place! Parking: Great! Food : 5/5 |

Absolutely smashing and friendly staff!! Amelia was our server and deserves a 15/10.

Worst resto chain. They dont respond to there company resto eedback forms and emails at all. Worst resto experience we had. The only thing they care about and respond to is after the fact when you have no choice but to write a well deserved bad review! There menu items is absolute garbage low quality and overpriced.

Always had a good time visiting here the chicken wings are out of this world highly recommended pretty cool spot

Great for Large Groups of Sports Fans

I had the wings and fries. They were good, standard, nothing special. My buddy on the other hand got a raw burger, sent it back and it took like 15 mins to bring a new one, and by that time he had already finished fries. The first round of beers we got was great, cold Heinekens, the 2nd round was absolutely flat. I dont know. All I know is Im probably never stepping foot in this location every again.

Waited 40 minutes just for water. Then our server completely forgot about us. Worst service Ive ever gotten. Never coming back

Did a team hangout

Stopped in to have a pint of beer and a quick snack. Restaurant very clean washrooms very clean restaurant smelled good. Wasnt very busy because its Sunday afternoon they had many sports on the TV. Exactly what I was looking for order some Deluxe fries I guess came loaded with ground beef and cheese and onions and all kinds of different things very flavorful very filling. Cant go wrong with draft beer service was great. Id recommend it. Diverse menu. Its not a fine dining place but its a great place to hang out with friends have a pint of beer watch some sports Id go back!

SERVER WAS EXCELLENT!!! SHE WENT ABOVE N BEYOND... Vegetarian options: Burger. N salad

Food is surprisingly good here for a sports pub. I had this steak bowl. Lots of TVs, nice looking ladies serving beer and food. Owners seem to be on top of things here so no complaints. It s a good place for teams, casual food, or just a beer stop.

Amazing food with amazing ambience

Sat there for 25mins didn t even bother to come and say we ll take your order shortly . The place was so unclean.

So not usually one to make post like this but this is the first time Ive been to this location of shoeless joes and have to say the service was terrible I asked for the drink menus and they have the appy place thats state $5 dollar domestic beer and $5 mixed drinks I went to order a mix drink and was told the owner told the server that they cant do that and cooperate is the one who put that in place but wasnt aloud $5 mixed drink when its right on there menu plus the fine print says nothing about not being available just dont understand why you have a drink menus with $5 mixed drink but when someone ask you turn them down and say it a lie and they cant do that then charge you $9 full price for a mixed drink is just ridiculous corporate put this deal in place and then owner goes behind there back and tell servers to not honor the $5 mixed drink when its on there menu then when asked to talk to manager or the owner was told hes never in and that not aloud just sad sad customer service also i gave them the benefit and went to a different shoeless joes and they served the $5 mix drinks so not sure what going on in thus location but is not legit and make up lies and will never be comming back or recommend this place to anyone just crazy experience still trying to get a hold of owner and servers tell me they cant do anything snd owner isnt in... take you business elsewhere

Ordered Nachos with shaved steak. Absolutely delicious.

Amazon Place, amazing foood. A guy name rounak served me. Good service.

Amazing food and drinks, we ordered nachos, buffalo cauliflower, margarita and moscow mule. Staff was super friendly and ambience is great with lot of TVs for a sport night. Would definitely recommend this place.

This is my second time at this location, let me tell you if I wanted to drink an eat my food in a freezer I would have , its 22 Celsius outside with a cool wind and inside was very uncomfortable having to eat an drink with my jacket on its not pleasant, my husband had ask for the air to be adjusted they did then next thing you know the air is back on, when we go out we like to enjoy ourselves we do not like to be sitting in a freezer very uncomfortable an unpleasant we will not be returning , we want to enjoy ourselves not having to rush out from a freezer.

Sam was great entertaining and engaging

The first time at the restaurant. The moment of entering, to being seated at a reserved area (because of team bonding and hangout time before a game), till leaving was a very appreciated experience. The food was great, the service was also good. I recommended going back again in the future.

Food was great and ready in a very good time, the waitress was very attentive.

Cold beer, great Nachos, and Julie was the best with a welcome smile and hello. There is plenty of sport on all the screens and sport minded customers. Family and friends with a warm atmosphere. CHEERS

Last week Saturday my co workers and I decided to eat here after bowling. I wish we would have looked at the reviews before coming here. I can see why they have a 3.6. This was one of the worst experiences I had at a restaurant . The server wasnt pleasant. We would ask her a questions, she would answer an run off , not waiting for our response. Throughout the evening she hardly checked in on us , and we were not offered or given water. Next the food: The wait time to get our food was horrible. We waited for our food for a long time. We were a table of 8. The server came with 2 dishes, 15-20 mins 2 more dishes , 15-20 mins the rest. No explanation as to why we waited so long or apology. 2 or 3 of my co workers ordered the goat cheese burger. They took one bite and that was it for them. They said it was not edible. I ordered half rack of ribs , mashed potatoes and coleslaw. Coleslaw was ok but the ribs and mashed potatoes..horrible. it was lacking in seasoning. The mashed potatoe tasted like it came from a package, no butter,salt,etc. The ribs were light in colour, hardly any bbq sauce, lacking in flavour. I had eaten to pieces of the ribs and that was it for me. The others said their food was ok. I will say the nachos( appetizer) was the only thing I can say tasted good. We complained to the manager Ronnie. He said he would discuss it and come back. First off,any manager I have dealt with was able to make a descion on the spot. Ronnie came back 20 minutes later. No charge for the burgers which was obvious and my food 10% off. That was crazy for two bites of horrible ribs and mashed potatoes. After complaining he took off 20%. Still not right but I paid and he said we didnt have to pay the tip for having a party of 8. I dont know if I would go to another Shoeless Joes location but I definitely not go back or recommend this location!

Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and customer service

Shoeless was another good experience though it wasnt too busy on a Sunday night, we had good service for the 7 of us everything came hot and on time none of us had any issues with our meals. The staff was good and took our orders well as well made sure he got all of our orders correct.

Brought the whole hockey team between tournament games food was good and fast, service was great!

Had to ask 3x to put on Leafs game.Waited 20 minutes for anyone to acknowledge Me on a NON BUSY sat night.waited another 15 min for tenders .will find another place to watch Leafs game Food

If the food was fresh it is such a good place to chill As a restaurant owner i suggest you to Clean under the table screens, change outside sign, make the food fresh, deep fry when customer order not in advance to serve it faster, otherwise you shouldn t have these much of 3 stars, 3stars means people like to come inside your restaurant. Also fix the kitchen problems and call inspectors or health ontario to come and inspect you again and give you green pass! Good luck guys

Came with my friends - 11 people - at 8pm and sat there for one hour with zero service. Nobody came to give water or to take our order. We waved one of the servers twice and she said she was going to get our server and still nobody came. After 1 hour we got up and left. Went to Red Lobster next door. Got seated immediately and received amazing service, water, refills and food from attentive server. 0 stars for Shoeless. Just don t bother. 5 stars to Red Lobster next door. Edit: re-owner request to fill out the feedback survey, would be happy to do that but the survey link is broken lol. It s broken through Google search too.

Go to red lobster EDIT: We went in as a group of 11, reserved well in advance. We came in and sat and was not acknowledged by any of the waiters, no water, all we had was the menus that were already on the table (which was not enough for the entire group). We waited an hour and then we asked the waitress and she said she would come. We waited another 15 mins and still no one came. We left. We went to red lobster, which for that day had similar numbers to shoe less and another large group as well. We had water as soon as we came, the waiter was really attentive and the food came quickly as well. This shoeless weve gone to as a group multiple times, as its the most convenient for all of us, and we have had similar experiences when we had a large group. This time it was egregious. We did not expect to be pampered but when it took over an hour to even recieve water or more menus, that is frustrating and bad service. Also the owner replied for a link to take a survey for the store. However, selecting the store for the survey doesnt work and instead opens a link to the Google page. Hence, I decided to update my comment.
