The food is delicious and the portion size was quite large. We had the solo plates of Fish and Shrimp and it was more than enough. We will always recommend Joeys.
I've been coming here for years. It is always a wonderful filling meal. The staff is great and the atmosphere is very relaxing.
Excellent food and quick service. We have a Novemburger and a chicken burger. Mashed potato and coleslaw as side dishes were great.
I had the fish and chips, it was really great! Deb is really great with dealing customers! Would love to come back sometime!
Amazing food and amazing service! My friends and I visited on Thursday. They offer a lot of specials around this time. I fully recommend the Endless Plate offer. You can customize your shrimp flavours/ ways of how it’s cooked( I had 5 refills) . Deb, our server, is so lovely. She made sure our table is well taken care off. Totally recommend!
Joeys was a sweet little joint for our family from Texas to stop in and fill our belly’s. The kids were shown a treasure chest to help incentivize their good behavior and it worked! Fish and shrimp were delicious and the clam chowder good. The adorable deserts at the end of the kids meals were much appreciated by the kiddos!
Best Chicken Sandwich in town. My Top 3 ever tasted. I keep going back every month, evening snack, my wife thinks I’m cheating, I told her I don’t like to share.
Food was fantastic! I loved the fish, chops and shrimps. It tasted so fresh and this is not my first time eating here but I'm glad I remembered to review today. The food is so delicious! affordable and the service is great plus it's fast. Our server was a wonderful lady who made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us. Also we had the special they're currently having which is unlimited shrimps. Oh my! We left there with our tummies truly full because they stayed true to their word so we kept ordering shrimps and it kept coming. This is the best place I get my fish and chips from and I'd never change it. I've gotten fish and chips from other places in Thunder Bay and I didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the ones I get here so I will only come to this restaurant for fish and chips! Well done to the owners for always keeping the service and food GREAT! :)

Great fish and chips in the town
Good food and endless shrimp!
I was visiting my mom and stepdad in Tbay. My stepdad was sick in hospital and my mom suggested Joeys as she has been coming here for years. This place was fantastic. Great fish and chips and service (Deb?). On the way out one of the owners (Sharon) asked where my stepdad was and she showed genuine concern about my stepdad. It was a very gracious and lovely gesture towards my mother and I.
The shrimp was slightly more cooked than perfect. The pollock was good and the oil seemed fresh.
Excellent food, excellent service. Will definitely be back!!
Great good and always greeted at the door with a smile. Parking: Lots of space to park for lunch Food : 5/5 |

Came with my wife for my birthday and it was delicious. Great food (which came out fast & hot) cold drinks and polite staff, even when my wife sent something back to the kitchen because it was to spicy and she thought it was something totally different lol. After 18-holes of golf today with the boys, this is exactly what I needed! Thanks for making my birthday dinner enjoyable Joey s Fish & Chips! Parking: Great parking! No issues :)

Amazing food Kid-friendliness: Great food Food : 5/5 |
I found this restaurant very blah for service . The fellow just said sit on that side and didn t show us to our table . Once the food came he said he would be back with ketchup and got side tracked and did not return . I spotted a waitress and we asked her for the ketchup and tartar sauce .we had fish and chips ..there was a table of 6 in our area and they got good service while we were left alone etc ..no extra water was offered nothing yet the other table was asked if they wanted anything else and desert ..I m sorry but the fellow who looked after us did not make us feel like should go back to this restaurant . I honestly won t as the service was not up to my standards at all ..
Food was great with all you can eat fish. A little side gravy for the fries. Parking: It s free! Food : 5/5 |
Amazing food. Really enjoyed every bite. So filling!!! Highly recommend for seafood
Food is very good and filling. Staff are good at suggesting food and rest rooms are clean. Mashed potato is my favorite.
Great ambience and delicious food tried for the first time, and felt good. Staff is friendly and efficient. Would like to visit again!
Food was wow! Tried for the first time and found worth the place, time and food. Will recommend for sure to my friends and family.
One of my favourite places to eat and the staff is always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the fish tacos!!!
Great place and great service
Love their fish and chips.
Worst fish and chips Ive had in many years. Chips were raw, not cooked. Fish didnt taste like halibut. Batter was damp. Through out the terrible tartar sauce. One year later (dont know why I did this again?) same lousy meal as above.
Great experience Parking: Good experience Food : 5/5 |
Stopped at Thunder Bay for some dinner. Was craving some fish and chips and found Joeys. There were plenty of parking and location was easy to find. The staff members were super welcoming, quick and friendly. We enjoyed the Chimichurro fish with custom truffle chips with the a large bowl of caesar salad. Dishes tasted delicious and in large portions. Found that they have many other locations and look forward to trying the other flavours they have to offer.
Excellent fish and chips for the price. Highy recommended. Food
This isn t the joyes we are used to . It was horrible this time
My first time there .We went Good Friday. We were sat immediately but due to the fact that there was a 100 plus take out orders and a full restaurant before us we had to wait 2 hours to eat. Fish was meh fries and coleslaw were great! The staff were incredible under such pressure!
I love the regular fish. I really do miss the corn bread it was so good.
Ordered the family meal , was super impressed , huge peices of fish , tons of fries and a big tub of slaw ! Definitely going back ! Same owners for 25 years , and still awesome food
Service and staff are excellent. It is seafood in the middle of Canada so not as fresh as dock side. Cooked perfectly.
Excellent value.
I absolutely love this restaurant! Excellent food/service and the prices for the quality and quantity of their food portions is incredible!
I found the fish very greasy. The coating was well done but the fish i side was not quite cooked. Parking: Good parking
The last three times I ve ordered Fish Tacos they have been very disappointing. Their image on their website is no longer an actual representation of their fish tacos. It seems like they are trying to cut costs with only using one fillet for two fish tacos and that leaves a small amount of fish in both tacos which they try to smoother with their lettuce mix. Honestly, I hate to say this because I used to love Joey s fish tacos but you re almost better off getting your fish tacos from Taco Time.
My Favorite Ever When I Can Get There ...Been Knwing Them Forever They Even Followed Me With My Weight Loss Surgery and Only 1 Of The Places I Can Eat At Where I Find Healthier ..Always My Go To ... Brenda .. Vegetarian options: Lots Of Options .... Dietary restrictions: I Ate There Alot After My Weight Loss Surgery Can Accomodate Well ....
Slow service
I usually get the fish and chips they are really good. But recently I tried the fish taco. Its really really good.
Food was amazing. Food was awesome...highly recommend Joeys seafood for all your cravings .
Just aweful. Dont go here.
We unfortunately chose the all you can eat night:/We ordered 3 x 2 piece dinners and two lobster and cheese. When we got home one of them had what looked like 1piece cut in half and the other 2 had quite small pieces so disappointing :(((
Hands down the best seafood . I would totally recommend this place over red lobster any day . Great service and Great food.!!!!!
Excellent fish and chip, a beautiful aquarium with beautiful big fish.
I enjoy the Halibut dinner so much that I drive from Current River to happily get some Halibut.
Best fish and shrimp in thunderbay :) bring back the share 5 :(
Best fish and chips in Thunder Bay
Amazing service with properly cooked and seasoned seafood.
Every plate we ordered was delicious, I especially liked the clam chowder and crab taco
Nice pub restaurant style restaurant. Their fish and chips are worth it. Especially their classic Joeys with the homemade dough, delicious fries and fish that melts in your mouth. The place is clean. For $15-20, you get a good plate that meets your hunger!
Great food and service, fish and shrimps are so delicious.
Food amazing. Employee attitude could be better, if it s 8 they ll stand over your head until you re forced to leave. Not very friendly guys
Service and food were outstanding!! Parking: Large parking lot Food : 5/5 |
the food was good, server should warm customer that sweet potato fries have additional cost.
Fries not cooked even after I asked for extra crispy. Barely any batter on the fish that was cold in the center. A waste of $50. I called to complain and she was very nice. I said I wasnt asking for any replacement cuz I was all ready in my pjs and nothing was offered.
The waiter did not even wait for me to sit down with my friends before he was yelling at me to see what I wanted. I always enjoyed eating at Joey s but being served on a tray as if I am in jail does not appeal to me. The French fries were not cooked or hot. Very disappointing. Wheelchair accessibility: Excellent
The Cape Hawk fish with its light batter was scrumptious. The staff Uthara was knowledgeable about the menus; soft spoken, friendly and attentive.
Some of the best seafood Ive had in a long time! I thought the ratings were unusually high but they ended up being better than I expected!! The service staff had a really tough day but they managed to pull together and encourage each other through a tough shift. Theres no score for that but good team work and leadership is worth its weight in Google STARS!! I had the fish and chips plus the best calamari Ive ever had (PERIOD)!! Go give them a try!!
Ordered through Skip the Dishes. They say the Fish and Chips does not include chips! I spoke with the manager. He blames Skip the Dishes. Im not sure who is responsible, but if you want fish and chips......dont order fish and chips (apparently)
I normally love Joeys but I had an awful experience there because of a waitress named Uthara R. Her customer service was terrible, she was rude, didnt seem like she wanted to serve us at all or do her job. We didnt ask her for much while we were there, we just expected the very minimum, at least a smile on her face and a kind hello could have made the experience better. And we ordered a lot of expensive items off the menu, we werent there just for something small. Yet she treated us like she didnt want us to be there and wanted us to leave. We asked her for the table at the booth because we usually feel more comfortable there and she said she couldnt do it because she already cleaned it. As if they dont clean between customers or something. I didnt mind that but her attitude the entire time we were there was unacceptable. While we were dining she didnt even come back to ask if we were okay, she only came back to try and nudge us to leave toward the end and to get us to pay. I truly believe this girl will make Joeys lose business. If shes ever there to serve us again Id probably just walk out without ordering anything.
Good quality food I would order from them again.
Deep fried fish used to be cripy. But not anymore.
Waitress were rude to us. We were a big group with kids. She couldn t hide her frustration toward us and kids and made gestures to us from the glass window to shush them, she frequently grumbled esp when serving orders. She wasn t able to serve the right order for the right person and expected us to guide her. I would say if you as a restaurant don t have the ability to serve a big group or dislike the presence of kids please let us know or put a sign so we find a better place! Absolutely disrespectful!
The fish and shrimp came with two sides and was so much food. Debra was super nice!
Great foods ! The endless shrimp was amazing and the staff was really friendly. Quick service ! Food
Great little place with delicious fish and chips! Good prices and selection of dishes.
Payed $40 and got a little cup of shrimp
I had an amazing server, same server at least 4 times, excellent service! Theyve been serving awesome food every single time Ive gone, and Ive never been disappointed! I recommend this restaurant absolutely!
Parking: Was ok
Fresh and friendly
Great take out service! Delicious meal.
Just went for lunch at Joey seafood, and it was so good! Me and my partner shared the 3 for $16 appetizers (such a great price) which got us the shrimp and lobster Mac and cheese, calamari, and mini fish tacos and we also got the 2 piece fish and chips. The fish tacos were to DIE for, so good, And the mac and cheese was super flavourful! The fish and chips were so crispy, exactly what we were looking for. We will be definitely be coming back!
Really great crispy shrimp with breading and AMAZING Calamari without breading (the seasoning is just so good). Tartar sauce is the bomb and so is the default pollock for the fish&chips-- no need to pay extra for halibut or anything. Wouldnt recommend the cilantro lime coleslaw-- the conventional slaw is much better suited for the food we ordered, including the SHRIMP TACOS
Excellent. The portions are huge
The best fish and chips o have ever had, made btw out of wild fish! Very pleasant personnel and tidy interior!
Service was friendly, and food was... okay. We just popped in for a quick bite-grabbed a few mix and match apps (which is a great deal). As a maritime traveler I was disappointed by how disturbingly fishy the clams tasted, but otherwise things were, as I say, okay.
Just had the absolute worst experience at this restaurant. We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 13 years, but will never come again. The waitress, her name was Liane was horrible and racist right to our faces. We came in with guests and were treated so badly. The moment we walked in she started rolling her eyes and stating I hate them. Just because someone wears the hijab and looks different from you doesnt mean you have the right to be racist. Will never come here again. The food was also undercooked and not edible. We left within minutes because the food and service was disgusting.
This restaurant is racist towards Muslims which is sad to see given the sizeable muslim community in thunder bay. Never going back to Joeys, which was a great place to dine in for us, not anymore.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is very delicious and tasty and fresh. I have gluten allergies and they have a variety of items to choose from or can adjust a dish for you.
It was Ok, i ordered seafood tacos and liked it. It was taking time to serve anything, even refilling my drink. But, the food is fine.
Delicious! I had shrimp, my darling had the fish & chips, it was perfect! I advise it.
Very good food
Beautiful place
Just left with my take-out order. Waitress who is looking after everything was doing a bang up job looking after everyone. Told me ten minutes, bingo. Got home, napkins, catsup, tartar sauce, etc. Hard to beat that kind of service. Thank you.
Excellent food.
As good as ever. Had take out, order ready at appointed time, friendly service. I missed coming here during pandemic.
Great hospitality. Good food. Friendly staff. Good prices for amount of food portions.
