Joe's Hamburgers in Richmond Hill

Must visit place in Richmond Hill

Just purchased a dozen of falafals at this medicore restaurant and it came with a very small tahini sauce and i was expected to eat 12 falafals with this tiny serving. I asked for another tahini sauce from the cashier and she tried to charge me close to 2 dollars, i explained to her that the tiny sauce was not enough for the 12 pcs of falafal, she looked at me liked i was asking too much. I asked the lady to call the owner and he didnt come to the front and he was by the grill and i explained to him the problem and he didnt care and told me that it only came with 1 sauce and that was complementary. When i buy 1 dozen of them from other restaurants they give a medium sace with it and hot sauce if you like. I always eat at this restaurant but i will never be back at that restaurant again. Worst customer service. For a 0.20cts sauce they lost a customer.

Its average food and expensive for what it is. They don t even toast their pitas

A nice cozy place that has character, the staff and Joe are amazing and friendly. Most of all the food is great, Joes Hamburgers is just to my liking in terms of flavour P.S. if you love french fries get them here!

Best Shawarma around and ceasar salad delicious..had burger before huge and awesome as well

Its my favorite place for a quick takeout dinner in the neighborhood

The food is too notch. Specially the shawarma

I had been going to Joe s for decades before we moved across the country to Vancouver Island. Sad to say, difficult to find a falafel place here, let alone one as good as Joe s! I do go back when visiting family in Ontario, but that just makes me miss their amazing food even more! The best falafel in Ontario, possibly best I have ever had!

This burger restaurant that has been around for over 20 years has been seriously neglected! Hope to be seen and paid attention to by more people!

Excellent food with generous portions, highly recommend the chicken swharmaa on Pita.

Food is amazing. The place is always busy until it closes because everyone comes back. The fresh taziki is amazing.

Great place if you want to be fat shamed for ordering food. Or if you want to wait a ridiculously long time for overpriced average or below average quality.

Been going to Joes for many years now. Never a bad experience and never a bad meal. The burgers, onion rings and shawarma pitas are fantastic but I cant ever pass up the shawarma dinner platter on rice. Joes shawarma is the best Ive ever had, bar none. Seasoned with his perfect recipe and cooked with its signature bark... It needs nothing else. I forgo the tzaziki and everything because the shawarma tastes that good on its own. Paired with their house salad, which is my favourite salad of anywhere I visit, I never leave unsatisfied.

Love their food, especially their Falafel sandwich, no other place makes it as good as they do.

Been a regular at Joe s for years. Absolutely lucky to have such a high quality eatery near by

Amazing food and service quality

The best of the best In 20+ years of eating at Joes, I have NEVER had a bad meal!!! 10/10

Joes is great. A true staple in Richmond Hill, with a Mom and Pop shop appeal. Their burgers are good and their chicken caeser pita with tzatziki and feta is the best. And this is their 1111st review that Im happy to make.

Still great from my first visit 15 years ago!

Pretty decent place for burgers. First time eating here, and the food was fairly good. Price was comparable to any burger place. Service wasnt too bad either.

Kid-friendliness: Very friendly and kind. Great service. Food

I order two hamburgers, they were dry. I asked for a refund however was told no when i ask the owner he refused and argued that it was not extremely poor customer service and rude. It cost 20 dollars would not recommend this place to anyone. Be ware you will not get your money back if not happy

Had food catered here for a family party and every one loved it! Portions are quite large, made with fresh, good quality ingredients. Staff is very kind, efficient and helpful. Definitely recommend! Vegetarian options: Falafals are yummy, especially with tahini and tzatziki! Parking: Parking is easy to find. Can pull up pretty close to the door, convenient if picking up a large order.

We just tried burger and felafel Hamburger was amazing Felafel was great and fresh I really enjoyed Food : 5/5 |

Uncooked chicken on the shawarma platter; hair found on the Greek salad; chicken kebab was tasty but three out of 6 people suffered gastro distress all night long. We wont be returning, and its a shame since they used to be a favourite.

Yummy food

This restaurant has done the impossible: got me to willingly eat a salad. Five stars for that achievement alone!

Yum come and meet joe

Had the chicken shwarmma combo Great portion for the money Food

Joes burgers is 10x better yum

Ordered the shawarma dinner and Joes big burger. Portions are great, and food is delicious. Staff is friendly and went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Joes Hamburgers.

Great food made fresh.

Awesome food

Good

Food is fresh, but overpriced.

Food is great, a meal will cost you between $15-20 but the portions are big. We tried the chicken shawarma meal and it was very good. Vegetarian options: There are falafel and beyond meat options

Joes is our go to restaurant in Richmond hill.

just tried the burger... was amazinggggg, perfect amount of toppings, sauce, bacon... just was perfect

Good cozy place for informal gatherings

Joes Burger is a great experience and a Richmond Hill tradition. Parking: Plenty of free parking spaces. Food : 5/5 |

The lady who was the cashier was very bored and did not care about the customer at all, and when I asked about my order after a long time (when I ordered, the restaurant was not busy at all), she answered me arrogantly. This neglect can be seen in their food too. In my chicken shawarma sandwich, there was a piece of meat shawarma, which shows that they dont even care about food and dishes too.it seems they use the same dishes for food At the same time, that s better that have pay a little attention to the renovation and change of decoration and hygiene of the restaurant. You think time has been standing in that restaurant for years.

Best shawarma.

The falafels at this restaurant are incredibly tasty, bursting with flavour. Joe, the owner, sets a welcoming atmosphere with his kindness and friendliness, making customers feel right at home. The staff members are equally helpful and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Overall, its a delightful place to enjoy delicious falafels (and more) and excellent service.

Very nice place. It became a bit pricey though.

Always consistently good food and service

great place!

Delicious food, warm and cozy environment and friendly and efficient team. Tried this place for the first time and will definitely be back. Had Joe s Big Burger with cheese, fries with gravy (gravy that brought me back to my high school days) and a chicken schwarma dinner with rice and salad. Great portions, yummy and if you like hot sauce, better ask for some - because it adds a kick and extra layer of flavour.

Sometimes is good.

Love the food here.

Great place for lunch. Always reliable and have never been disappointed. I have only ordered the Chicken Shawarma in a pita. Vegetarian options: There are some available Parking: Bit tight parking in the front. More in the back

Overpriced, absolutely mediocre burgers. Shawarma is very good but the $15 half pound burger i bought did not leave me satisfied at all, nice employees though.

Simply amazing. 16 years ago it was our first visit to Joe s and we saw the place grow. Joe and his amazing team kept the place at tip top quality, I would argue the best in York region ( and we have been to some ) and runner for the first place in Ontario as well. For his manner, for the food quality, and busy as they were when we visited ( and they all kept their cool) nothing was messed up or wrong, well organized, 5 of us with different requests all got exactly what ordered. Love the place. Parking: Could always find parking near the restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Our kids loved the place. Always a treat.

Amazing food. Been consistent for more than 20 years

The best in town hands down

Food is good but service is really slow.

An absolute hidden gem and possibly the best burger and fries I have ever had.

Love the service and awesome food..halal options available...huge seating area..

Great food, great portions, relatively great prices. Sure, a shawarma dinner is 18 dollars, but you get a massive portion of chicken shawarma, fries (or rice), salad, and a pita just for good measure! Taste is amazing, and youll want to make sure that you get extra Tzatziki sauce! Be warned, the hot sauce is hot!! Overall a great experience!

I started going here as I went to a therapy clinic in same plaza. I honestly never thought a small restaurant could produce good, decent food of such a large variety in an out of the way place in Richmond Hill as I come from North York. I have had several things from the menu and I have been very impressed with the taste and quality of the food. I bet with such large staff they could make anything they put theirs minds to make. Always a line up here that would make a take out chain jealous. I never thought an out of the way place like this would have a restaurant capable of producing so many dishes well. I am surprised at how big a staff they actually have here as well which indicates a steady stream of customers know they have good quality food always available. I have done take out only but they have a very large dine in area for customers. Parking: this is in a small strip plaza and there is parking all around the plaza and at the back as well. there is very limited Disabled parking with signage however so you need to use a regular space to park. Wheelchair accessibility: the doors at at ground level with no ramps or stairs. someone would need to hold open the door as no automatic doors but most people go out with others to eat.

The food is mediocre at best but way overpriced. 3 burgers and shwarma $74 with 4 soft drinks Food

Pretty solid Shawarma here, the chicken is very tender and the toppings and sauces infuse very well, not to mention the great pitas. Nice spot

I think it was like $18 for a chicken shawarma dinner. Ok price, maybe a bit high, but everything is now. Food is really good, fresh, with excellent meat quality.

The worst shawarma place.

always pleased with the service and quality of my meal! Joes is an institution

food quality has been dropping and pricing going up; no longer the place to go!

Visited Joes with my 2 kids for dinner on Saturday. Ordered the chicken shwarma with rice and 2pc fish and chips. I know this place is not known for their fish and chips but my son really wanted it. I tried a small piece of the fish and it tasted really fishy. But I didnt think anything of it. Later at night my son vomited all over his bed. He vomited again in the morning. Anyways, stay away from their fish and chips.

Recently ate lunch here. I had the falafel in a pita with French fries. The falafel was very tasty and had authentic middle eastern flavors. Highly recommend!

This place has the most delicious chicken kebobs! Friendly staff! Over all great food! Parking: Theres always parking

Good food

I would give this place a zero for my meal if I could... I get it that your specialty might not be a fish sandwich, but when Im charged $10 for one I expected a little more then a frozen Captain Highliner fish stick on a bun. Dont waste your money at this place!!!

The Best Hamburger with delicious sautéed onions, fresh tomatoes, mustard and relish and ketchup. Fries and a Pepsi go with it! And the salads are very, very good! If someone wants a salad try them , The salads are excellent.

Best swarma in town. Chicken swarma is crispy outside but still moist inside. Service always friendly and fast.

Chicken Shawarma in a pita was really nice

Been a decade of me going here, this is a Richmond hill staple!

Date night, always a treat, prices up but still well worth it. Thanks Joe and team Parking: Can be tight at times

Good food getting pricey.

The burger and hotdog wasnt anything special, but it was fresh, and i honestly loved their sides more than the food itself. However, I saw lots of people having shawarma and souvlaki, which I didnt have, and I will try next time.

Goated falafels and falafel pitas

By far the best falafel Ive eaten in Canada no words needed

Best shwarma Ive had. If its open go for it (it gets busy though).

Amazing food and amazing customer service! Thank you.

The name is Joes hamburgers but who needs to eat hamburgers when they serve delicious sharama!!! Every is there for their SHARAMA!! Tender, juicy and large portions. Expect a line up cause they are that good!!

Good food and tasty Needs some care Recommended dishes

Highly recommend Joes

A little gem of a spot! It may be called Joe s Hamburgers but I only go for the chicken shawarma and I recommend getting a Caesar salad with it. Personally, I have always had issues with their website, I m thinking it s probably my provider however, I always place my order via phone and they always get it right!

Amazing food. Highly recommend their plates

Hamburger was on the dry side. Chicken shawarma meat was amazing though

Pretty fair price for what they give you. I ordered the shawarma and falafel wraps. They come STUFFED which is awesome. They come in pita wraps rather than a laffa. Lots of options for customizations for toppings and sauces. I ordered online using their website and enjoyed being to customize the wrap to my liking. I found it a bit too saucey and my pita fell apart near the end, but Ill know this for next time and request a bit less sauce next time. All in all, definitely worth the money, I can see myself coming here again.

Ive eaten here many times over the past decade. Yesterdays 2 dinner plates cost $50, (just food, didnt even order a drink, not including tip). Costs have gone up for everything everywhere, but its just not worth it anymore.

Been coming here since I was in high school never disappoints when I want a juicy shawarma and burger

Waited a little longer than nessacerry for thectime day.

Food and staff are AMAZING, best place to eat in Richmond Hill! Only complaint is after covid, they added a wall separating the customers from seeing the workers and it makes the place feel more empty. If they remove the barrier it would make the atmosphere feel more alive for the customer and the employees. All around love this place though!!

Best shawarma in the Hill.

I didnt ask for bacon and cheese. I was not told it would it was extra either. I dont eat cheese. Verry disappointed with the cashier. I do no eat cheese and never ask for bacon on my burger. Should not be adding these item unless I ask for them. Any extras should be mentions. Not visiting this place again. Horrible service.

Great little restaurant with great food and large portions. Hope I get a chance to stop in again before traveling home to Alberta.

Excellent food as always. What is the secret to the chicken soulvaki? No other restaurant makes it so tender delicious mouth watering like Joe does. Yummy!!!!

The best burgers and shawarma around.

Loved my experience here. This place is run like a well oiled machine. It is also clean. It is also very busy. Constant stream of ppl.

I think I just ate the best lamb kebab in a pita ever. Have it with turnip pickles and ask them to put some of their special garlic sauce in it and omg. Delicious Alhamdulillah

I didnt get the hype food that everyone mentions in their reviews. I grabbed the falafel plate. Rice + falafel was good enough, great hummus but it was tiny and enough for like 2 falafels. Salad was below average, no choice of toppings. Meal was average size, not huge.

I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap with falafels and it was absolutely jam packed with deliciousness. And the girl who took my order was an absolute sweetheart.

Its a neighborhood burger and sharwma shop. Its nothing spectacular but tastes great.

One of the best restaurants in Richmond Hill and the portion is enough for two people. But the problem is it close soon at night. Food

Amazing Home cooked food

Low key family run restaurant. Long standing member of the community

Great food fresh and good portion...enjoyed every bite shawarma and falafel sandwiches are delicious definitely recommend this place

Great food

Excellent burgers and shawarma, the best in Richmond Hill.

Amazing shawarma and fresh cut fries.

I can confidently say this is the best sharwarma I ve ever had. The chicken pieces were juicy, flavourful, tender but crispy at the same time. It was delightful experience. Joe and staff are very attentive and offer great service from the moment you walk in. It has a homely feel to it and I can t wait to try their other dishes. 100% recommend

Reasonable prices for exceptional food. I had the shawarma dinner and it came out hot, fairly quick and was very tasty. The hot sauce they served with it on the side was very good and flavorful. Staff have personality and were great. Food

Burger meat a little dry

Best shawarma, period. If Joes is open - I wont consider going anywhere else. Great food, service, people, Joe is always there working hard no matter what, always a pleasure to talk to. The place still has somewhat of the good old world atmosphere which is great.

Big taste small portion. Chicken souvlaki dinner $29 including drink tax and tip at Zets needs 2 ppl to crush it. I crushed Joes and was stunned by the flavour but looking around for more food

Highly recommend the 1/4lb Cheeseburger. Definitely going back they have a shawarma spit with chicken that looks amazing

Definitely wont go back. 50 $ for a falafel and souvlaki dinner. Portions are so small. Live and learn.

an expensive restaurant with low quality the sausage sandwich is dose not have anything is come with a small bread and small sausage is 7 dollars

Ok, here is my experience today, 21Nov2023. Was driving with my daughter around and decided to check out this place due to a very good score on google. We came in at 16:15 hrs to eat at the table. Lady took our order, 2 Joes Big Hamburger combos, 1 sm. Greek salad and 2 pop drinks. I had to pay right away, $56!!! and tip options with a minimum 10%, which I did. We were provided with an order number tag to be placed at the table so they know where to drop off food. We chose a table, everything looked clean, well maintained. Went to wash hands, washroom looked clean, 2 sink, 2 sope dispensers but only one with the soap. While waiting 20 minutes for our food, off the street, the lady walked in and took a spot near up, at the party room area. Dropped half of her bags on top of one of the tables and started 2 cellphones, Herbalife sales like spicker on conversation. No food was ordered, and no one said anything. Our food finally arrived! They forgot that we ordered a combo, so I had to go ask for fries. ××Sales meeting next to us is in process.×× The lady came and asked to show my receipt for verification. ××Sales meeting next to us is in process.×× Burgers were large in size and well built. Salad, I found it way too small for the $9 charged. ××Sales meeting next to us is in process.×× Fries arrived 5 minutes later, tasty, not your regular fast food looking. We liked it. ××Sales meeting next to us is in process.×× Finished eating. ××Sales meeting next to us is in process.×× Its not the best experience for the price and tip paid. It looked like they were setting up for a busy evening with lots of take outs and deliveries. I guess it was our mistake to eat in and too early.

Kofta dinner plates are great! Food

I was introduced to shawarmas over 20 years ago from Joes. This place is still one of my favourite places to get shawarma. The food is always flavourful, fresh, and delicious.

damn good Pita sandwiches!

Been coming here since 1995! And its still one of the finest and freshest food joints in the GTA

Great Shawarmas! We usually order the shawarma on a salad, WoW! Greek salad with shawarma. Nov 2023. Soooo gooood! Dec 2023. Great shawarma on Greek salad.

Friendly service, generous portions and great food!

The shawarma plate is fire, good portion with lots of rice and meat. Comes with a pita too. The burger is just alright. Therefore, 4 stars!

Best shawarma on a pita in RH. Price is very worthwhile. Pita is packed with lots of meat plus the toppings. Its the only place I have lunch if I forget to pack my own for work.

Just wonderful! The best Falafel and Shawerma you could taste, thank you for excellent service.

Always great, thank you guys for serving us the best Shawarma! I am a regular customer and will continue to do so.

Tasty but really just at lunch try to get before 12

The place is called Joes Hamburgers, and although the burgers (and fries!) are great, they really shine with their Shawarma in my opinion! It was the first place Id ever tried Shawarma a number of years ago, and honestly, every other place I go to is compared to them as my standard (no one has yet come close). The owners are wonderful people who truly care about what they do, and it shows through the quality of their service and their food. Would highly recommend you check the place out if youre in the area.

The best halal burgers!

The best sharwarma in the GTA!

It was delicious :)

Not as good as I remember it from before COVID. Had the burger was just ok average. Parking: Lots of parking

Great burgers and fries, fresh quality food makes a difference! Shwarma is great, salad is fresh Everything is good, enjoy! Kid-friendliness: Great easy atmosphere with food kids love Wheelchair accessibility: The parking is a little tight but you can get a wheelchair in

Amazing food and atmosphere

Simply the best Middle Eastern food in town. Finest ingredients used to produce the freshest food. Prices are reasonable. Our family always orders from Joes for special locations and otherwise. Give them a try and I guarantee you ll always return

Amazing food, very clean and great customer service. Attentive to your needs and very professional. Enjoyed every bite, delicious! I highly recommend this place.

Food was ok portions could be a bit more

This place has the best and I mean the best Shawarma I have ever had. It s name is deceiving but trust me and try it. They also have a liquor license for those wanting a cold beer with their meal. The coleslaw and salads are also exceptional. Joe the owner is often on the front line serving and preparing .The restaurant is definitely a 10 in my books. Parking is free and readably available as is take out.

Poor quality and service

A Richmond Hill staple. Great food, great service and a great atmosphere.

Delicious, fresh, and high quality food Love their fries! Nice and friendly staff Price range : $$ - Follow me for more reviews My Instagram: @mortgagebyarghavan

We both had the chicken shawarma plate and became ill with stomach issues that evening. Not sure if it was caused by that food, but the symptoms were the same and that s the only food we both ate. Some of the shawarma was very dry and some looked medium. The texture was not consistent at all and it lacked flavour. Just wondering why they have put up that big ugly wall blocking the kitchen? It seems very suspicious to me. What are you hiding? I ve eaten there a few times with my son and it s been okay, but the last few times haven t been the greatest. I don t think we ll be going back.

Be Hamburger in town and Falafel Lastly Joe is Very Friendly and a gentleman Food

Heard good things about their shawarma and they werent lies. Very well cooked and delicious chicken shawarma and I would definitely go back.

My family has been going here for over 15 years. Last night was the last time, which is sad. I arrived there at 4:30 pm and it was not busy, maybe two people ahead of me waiting for their orders. Ordered food and the price difference between the menu that was posted and the actual price I was charged was considerable. They obviously have raised their prices(yet again) and have not bothered to update their menu that is posted by the cash (ironic!). My food took 35 minutes to be ready. It was a simple order for two people, with no changes, or substitutions. People who came in way after me had their food ready long before I did, including one person who had a huge order. It does seem that this establishment favours customers who are personal friends of the owners and they are given priority. My 15-year loyalty does not seem to matter. To make matters worse, I asked a woman who was giving food when ready to customers to check on my order. She never came back with an answer. I had to ask someone else. Really disappointed in how I was treated and will not be back.

Decent quality food at a great price

Very reasonably priced and friendly service. Popular place for takeout so Id recommend ordering in advance if you dont want to wait. They also have a sit down area as well. My lamb plate was very good with half rice fries and a pita - very filling.
