Joey’s Italian Grill

Great food and great service. We’ve been coming here consistently for several years. The food is some of the best in the area The service is usually great although you can sometimes get a dud but they are usually friendly and attentive. The only strange thing is they serve frozen French frys. No real restaurant in NEO serves French frys that are frozen and poured out of a bag! I would recommend to anyone.

Always great service and excellent food. The hostess Marcy is very friendly.

A classic Chardon watering hole. Offers great specials, solid atmosphere, and good tv selection. They open with a strong complimentary basket of garlic knots. The group I went with was gluten-​free, so I ended inhaling nearly 2 baskets myself. Salad was good and the house dressing was phenomenal. Main course was the swordfish special and it was delicious. Definitely will be returning

This is a great place for comfort food. I’ve had several pasta dishes as well as pizza and mixed plates, and it’s all great. The salads are tasty too — well worth a try for those who have never been.

I am sure I will clearly sound like I am an Employee and or the like but I promise you that I am just a Customer! Yes I have had issues with the ‘lady at the front desk’ as other reviews have stated, I go there often enough that I just walk right past her and seat myself at the bar as opposed to waiting to be seated in the dining room. I come here to enjoy the Long Islands and to watch the TV’s while I have lunch or dinner either alone, or with my husband & family & friends. I am also the type of customer that if my service is lacking and or I have any issues with my meal or the service I am receiving I will watch for the Manager and make sure I let him know what said issues are. The Managers here are 1000% happy that you are dining there and will immediately handle whatever the issue is. I do not mean for that to sound like I hound them and or expect for them to comp my meal as each situation has its own circumstances. I have gotten to know the staff as I dine here so frequently is my point. That being said my review is as follows:
I eat here at least once or twice a week. Especially during Happy Hour. They have an extensive happy hour menu that includes meals in addition to drink specials, considering Happy Hour is Monday-​Friday 4 – 7 P. M as well as during Browns, Steelers, Ohio State, Michigan, Indians & Cavs day games it truely feels like it is always happy hour here. (Yes I have that memorized!) They also offer daily and weekend specials.
My favorite go to items are Joey’s Hand Breaded Chicken Tenders, Chicken Broccolini Alfredo, I add mushrooms, Ultimate Chicken Salad (all of these have full portion or happy hour menu pricing) as well as the giant Antipasto salad with house dressing, and I can not leave out the $ 4 happy hour ($ 5 regular price) Long Island Ice Tea.
Joey’s also has a Gluten-​Free Menu available for those that require it. They do however request that you notify them of any food allergies when you are ordering.
I love that Joey’s believes in local sustainability, so that means I support local farms and markets each and every time I eat here! This is very important to me as I favor local businesses over the chains every chance I can get.
I chose the price range of $ 11-​$ 30 as that would include me having 2 Long Islands with my meal.

It was really good, waitress and staff were good, attentive… just a good meal and experience. Had three entrees, cheese ravioli with meat ball, wings and a salad with salmon. Salad was loaded with salmon, had to take it home. Same with the left over dinner rolls… just the best food and people… frankly we were a little surprised. We’d go back here in a minute. We were treated like friends and, given that we weren’t in the best mood after a funeral, this place cheered us up.

Terrible service. The hostess was nothing short of rude. We ordered drinks while we waited for a table and sat down on the patio to enjoy. The hostess quickly followed us out to scold us for sitting at an empty table. We were happy to leave and order food from a competitor that was happy to accommodate a party of 6.

Once was enough.
Bad food, horrible service and too expensive… that’s not a good combination.
I’ve had better frozen Italian food and even my kids refused to eat their personal pizzas. I took a bite and understood why… The pizza was disgusting.
The worst part was the rude hostess who seemed burdened we were there to spend our money.

Pretty average. I got the wings while I was there and they were a little over cooked when I got them and the BBQ sauce I got on them was ok. I also tried the chicken fingers and they were also just simply ok. The only bad thing I got was a really watered down soda. The highlight for me was the trivia night that they host every Tuesday, it’s a lot of fun if you know the answers; you can also win gift cards and free beer. All in all this place is not really that great, but it’s not that bad.

Our Go-​To place. Have not had a bad dinner here. Love the pizza and grouper. Chicken tenders are fresh and hand breaded. Good family atmosphere. Know most of the waitstaff by name. There is normally a wait at peak hours but well worth it. Love Trivial Tuesday. Great specials. We go there often for family celebrations.

Foods alright best thing there is the pizza and Tuesdays nights is trivia which is a lot of fun.

We never go into eat at Joey’s because the 2 times we tried we were not acknowledged by anyone after being seated so we left. We however order takeout but when you call you have to be prepared because you never know what personality is going to answer the phone. Sometimes we call and the person is friendly, then other times they are very snippy and snarky. Also they will put you on hold almost every time you ask a question simply because they are not knowledgable about the menu etc.
We have alson not figured out why they insist on putting coleslaw in a meal box that is hot, it clearly heats it up and I personally do not like warm or hot coleslaw. We have asked that they put it in a separate bag and only one time did they oblige us.
The burgers, the fried fish dinner and the fried shrimp dinner are good. The rest of the food is okay. Portions are a little small on some of the dinners. The salads are hits and misses. We get them and sometimes we get squishy tomatoes and wilted lettuce and when we add cheese we have had cheese that was hard and dried out mixed with cheese that was fine. The blue cheese salad dressing on 1 occasion that I got was so turned it made my house stink so I started getting their ranch and its pretty good.

This place exceeded my expectations. We went in for lunch, not overly crowded, clean, great service and great food. We had the lunch specials and the food was prepared to our satisfaction. Also liked their kids menu– ordered a child’s pizza and it was bigger than I expected it would be– plus delicious pizza sauce. Definitely will stop by next time I’m in the area.

This is a joke. I am surprised that the Longo family allows this place to run like this. Second time I have been in there and waited over 10 minutes to be acknowledged by a server. This time after 10 minutes we got up and left. As we were leaving one of the hostesses said to the other «did you not give them a server?» We sat and had 3 tables sit down after us… Each of them were served within 30 seconds of sitting. Since This isn’t the first time this has happened… we won’t be back.

I tried this place for the second time today. It always looks busy so I figured the first bad experience was maybe a fluke. No… it wasn’t. First of all, there’s probably 500 cigarette butts outside the front door. Obviously a container of butt’s was knocked over but it has definitely been on the ground for weeks at least. The garlic knots came with a hair baked in one. They were definitely microwaved because after about 5 minutes they were so hard that you couldn’t bite into them. My daughter’s pasta with butter was more of a butter soup with noodles in it. My buffalo chicken wrap came out as a buffalo chicken sandwich with mayo instead of blue cheese. This place is terrible! The only reason it stays in business is because we have no other choices in Chardon. I will not go back to this restaurant.

Very disappointed today. Long time regular but today was horrible. Ordered takeout and was told 40 minutes. Got there after 35 minutes. Wings were cold and pizza was Luke warm at best. I will continue to go there and eat at the bar but will think twice about carryout. :(

Meh. Nothing to write home about. Food was just okay. I had the lasagna, which was alright, but honestly didn’t taste much different than Stouffers. Place is short on atmosphere, too. Loud and crowded together, no real décor in the room we were in. If you want better Italian, head over to Guidos in Chesterland.

Hey guess what? I am a fan!
Saturday dinner time, about 50% full.
* Free garlic-​y bread knots. wow. inhaled.
* I have balsamic chicken sandwich and side salad. House dressing was homemade. Or at least it tasted that way.
* Kids spag/​meatballs. Good portions
Place is clean; servers are tidy and attentive.
We’ll give it another go!

A great family restraunt for Chardon. The parking lot almost needs to be expanded as there are always tons of vehicles every night. Food was good — I had a grouper sandwich and it was the freshest I’ve ever had. The restraunt was busy and the server did a good job taking care of the table. I’d go back again and again.

Joeys serves food. That’s about it. The service is poor. The last time I was there with my daughter we waited over 15 minutes before a server greeted our table. The food is ok. Most of their «specials» I think came out of a can. Nothing is great. Bottom line: if you need to just eat and are willing to wait a bit and be underwhelmed by the taste then this is your place.
