Moxie’s Grill & Bar

We tried this location of Moxies and were very disappointed with the service, not even a refill of water or ice tea. As for the meal, Sue ordered the «unforgettable» honey garlic sirloin steak with stuffed potato. When the server asked if Sue needed anything else, she asked for butter for the potato which never came. She’s comment on the «unforgettable» steak was that its forgettable.
I enjoyed my Madagascar peppercorn steak however the service is terrible so we will not be coming back.

i had a steak sandwich. delicious and quick. my server Courtney who looks like a Persian was very nice. she recommended some fruit flavoured beer, which i really enjoyed.

By all means, if you have a craving for salt… come to this Moxie’s! I smoke, yes tsk tsk, hence I use more salt than most so I was shocked they could so severely over use the seasoning on EVERY part of my dish. The waitress showed little concern at my peril as she took more than half a meal away (I was starved and tried my best). No I’m sorry, no discount, no thanks for coming! I’m not one to hunt a discount, and on the rare occasion I receive one I make sure the total difference goes into the tip so it not a scam, but really, they couldn’t be bothered to offer anything? (My bill was close to $ 40) Lesson learned… I should of read the reviews!
With all that said, I have had amazing food AND service at both moxies in shawnessy and across from willow park… please drive a few extra minutes and go there instead.

Normally I do enjoy Moxies.
However this Moxies was SMALL. Our service was horrible. Out of us 4 only 1 order was correct. Definitely won’t return to this Moxies in the future

We went for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Were hoping to sit on the patio and enjoy the sun, but this location’s patio is pathetically small, no décor/​plants and immediately adjacent to parking lot. We opted for the lounge instead.
Service was reasonably quick and friendly — although there were only a total of 3 tables with one server & one bartender working — kinda hard to mess that up. My only complaints were that we had to ask for cutlery, and she didn’t come back to see how the food was or check up on us until we were done eating.
I ordered the chicken quesadilla with a Caesar salad, which had far too much dressing. The quesadilla was tasty, but lacked any veggies (I’m glad I’m opted for the salad) and was a little too crispy. Salsa was interesting — probably in-​house made based on the unrecognizable/​unique tasting spices, so that added a nice touch.
My friend had the classic burger with added bacon and raved about it. I had a bite, and I must say it as pretty good! Definitely had a good size patty and a nice sauce. Fries were a little soft and nothing special.
Overall, a pleasant experience but we won’t rush back anytime soon. I think we may try Shark Club next door — looks like they have a nice rooftop patio. Hmmm…

Ordered chicken rice bowl, and dessert. It took 2 hours to start to finish. Food was good but the service was EXTREMELY SLOW. Also they were out of chicken wings I suggest if you’re going to compete in the food industry with all the choices that consumers have make, at least have the basics, good service and the basic foods. So now keep can say we have been to Moxies twice, the first and last time.

So far, service in the lounge is horrid… and to continue with this thought, took 15 minutes to get a menu. 20 for a drink.
Food was ~ my god, I can’t even smash it that badly because it was only nachos. How do you screw up nachos? If you would like to know, go to Moxies.
Had 3 Caesars, asked for extra spicy. Even said «look, I mean really spicy, I’m not being a jerk, but every time I order spicy in this province, I get nada». Server giggles and laughs and says that I’ll get spicy.
Did not whatsoever. On round 1 or 2.
We were over a barrel that day and had to stop — it was that or starve because the equal food casualty «Shark Club» is the only other resto there.
There were actually only 3 people at the bar. Us two, and two tables of four. 3 people on duty. Mymymy.

Another Moxie’s review. This one was a little better than last time. I met up with a gf of mine, and we chose this location as we live on opposite sides of the city. I have never gone to this location before, but it was a good choice. We got there at lunch time on a Friday, but we were seated right away.
Had a very pleasent server, I ordered the tandori salmon salad without naan bread and my friend had the curry rice bowl. Both of our meals were delicious, and we over all had a good time.
If you are in that area, and want a good meal, it’s worth checking out for sure.

Its new, modern and its really good food. Not many people know about it, and getting in during suppertime is usually right on in. Last time I went during the supper rush the parking lot wasn’t even full!
We were able to mix and match what we wanted, and even got apps for full meals at apps prices.
All in all fantastic.

Welcome to Moxie’s newest location in Calgary. It’s warm, it’s cozy, it’s a little in your face, but most importantly it’s all good.
From start to finish the service was excellent. My parents and I were seated immediately, had drinks on the table quite quickly, and though it took longer than it should have to get our meals, the server was on top of our table to explain the delay in the kitchen.
I had a citrus-​y, slushy sort of a drink (can’t remember what it’s called) that was somewhere between a margarita and a bellini. While it wasn’t quite to my taste the drink was well made. I can’t knock it because I didn’t like it right?
I had a steak, medium-​rare. The meat was cooked to perfection and the baked potato was excellent. My only complaint about the meal was the veg. it was a chunk of broccoli. At that it was like $ 0.10 worth of broccoli (check out my picture). It really cheapened the experience for me.
The bathrooms are nice and I always appreciate when a restaurant has a Dyson airblade installed. I like that I don’t have to stand for 5 minutes for my hands to dry while my drink is sitting on the table betting warm. Also, I’m a legend; or so the bathroom mirror tells me. Good to know.
Normally chain-​type places like this always end up with a three star review from me, but Moxie’s, and this location in particular, just seems to be a slight step above the rest.
Side note: This location is in the Sandman Hotel. Why is there a hotel in Heritage Meadows Shopping Centre? It doesn’t make sense to me? I guess Ikea lovers can enjoy sleeping across the street?
