Joey’s Seafood Restaurants

Portions are small for $ 20. Halibut is dry. Service is not very good. My 6 year old ordered a kids meal and got completely different order and almost forgot her dessert. Would not recommend!

If there was a lower rating than 1 I would give it to this restaurant. I called for takeout and ordered 2 pcs of Cod and chips $ 16.90. Now I know fish is expensive so I expected that. I picked up the order, drove home and the fish is so freaking small they are the size of perch. Absolutely ridiculous. I phoned the store and told the cashier she said «ya, I really can’t comment on the order because I didn’t pack it. I can’t control the portions.» I asked for the manager and she said «no, they have gone home». Unbelievable. Total waste of money. I will never be back.

Very poor service watched an elderly couple ask for milk three times before they received three small cups of milk our food the fish was falling off soggy gross and nasty tasting.
This was a Sunday dinner time the young female server was talking bad about other customers TO OTHER CUSTOMERS!!!
she also said to us sorry for neglecting us but it is because we had chosen a table in the corner (OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND!!!)
HORRIBLE NEVER COMING BACK SO DISGUSTED ALL AROUND

I really like joeys. I usually get takeout at lunch time for work. I either get regular fish and chips or fish tacos. When I call to order, they always ask the exact time I will be there so it is ready fresh and hot. Always lots of condiments as well. Good tasting and good value for lunch.

I went to the restaurant on Friday night to pick up something that seemed good. When I got in, I chose the 2 piece haddock and fries. I then took it home. It was awful. The batter was still gooey and soft inside, the fries were the usual restaurant knock off chips. For a fish and chip shop (ANY WHERE THAT SELLS FISH AND CHIPS OR IS IN THAT GENRE OF RESTAURANTS… USE POTATOES!!!)
In terms of their «chips» (which the don’t call chips they are fries) This was the same as going to Kelsey’s or Jack Astors. I would expect it to be something like a good fish and chip shop. The fries were hard and tasteless the potato was all fried out of the fry.
The fish portions for a place like this were the same as captain highliner. For $ 16, I would suggest that ppl find a real fish and chip shop in Brantford and go there instead or make their own at home. If u like their version then fine. But go to England and have real fish and chips or to a place where it’s actual fish and chips like Heritage Fish and Chips… so much better.

The food is deep fried and typical for a mom and pop shop. It’s only barely edible. It’s very greasy. The portion size is okay, just not a lot of flavor.

We go to Brantford at least once a month to visit family, and have always been curious about Joey’s (the little yellow cartoon fish is cute). Unfortunately, we have to report that’s it «meh», at best.
The food itself is edible, but not particularly flavourful — it’s like it was made to appeal exclusively to old people with greatly diminished palettes, which might explain why we always see the place peopled, sparsely, with an older clientele (the night we actually ordered, there were two tables of middle-​aged to elderly patrons — it was a Saturday).
Ordered the Basic Fish and Chips (meh), and the Salmon Salad (also, meh).
Not sure how they can afford to pay the half-​dozen staff that we saw «working» there that night. Service was not good — very distracted and obviously NOT interested in providing any kind of assistance to people who’ve never been there before. LOTS of socializing going on at the front counter where they have an open window to the kitchen (all among employees and none with Customers, of course). Seriously, you’d think they’d kind of want to be extra nice to/​professional with newer, younger faces that arrive on their doorstep.
Usually, price is the last of my concerns, since I’m more than happy to pay more for great food and good service, but I have to say they overcharge for what you get. Over $ 40 for a smallish Fish and Chip plate and a tiny salad with chopped up bits of salmon.
Really don’t understand how this place stays afloat.

little take out and dine in seafood joint in brantford. 1 person handling cash & tables makes for slow service. Fish and chips and calamari were ok. Nothihg overly special. Wasnt bad though the deep fried batter was cooked properly. lot of times you’ll find it over or undercooked with deep fried foods. I would come back but hoping they have another wait staff to handle the customer capacity. The chowder soup sounded tasty on the menu.
