| - I enjoy coming to this location, as well as the one at Yorkdale, both of which are extremely busy. Every time that I've come to this location later in the evening, there has been a long wait. You may be fortunate to catch customers leaving the lounge if you are persistently walking around. Before 6, there shouldn't be a wait, from my experience. This review will be a combination of this particular location, and the franchise itself.
Moxie's is my fave franchise. They have some classic menu items. I generally stick to what I know I like, unless I'm really in the mood for something else. Ever since i have tried their Sushi Cones, I have been hooked. For a small add-on, you can add a 4th cone. My favourite entree is the Ginger Teriyaki Rice Bowl. Everything about that dish is amazing. The rice is honestly the best I've ever had (what kind of rice is it... I have to ask next time..). There is a generous amount of chicken every time (at least I can say this for this location), so much so, that I always want more rice, and there is also a plentiful amount of delicious vegetables. It is one of the most satisfying meals for me. I would recommend getting the sauce on the side, because at this location I find there is too much sauce, and so there ends up being not enough rice. However, if you get it on the side, you can completely avert this issue.
I don't think there is anything I have tried at Moxie's that I have not liked. I don't expect all of the dishes to be as outstanding as my favourite ones, but Moxie's does a great job. I used to order the salmon sandwich, which was my favourite item of the time (I can also speak for other people I know), but sadly they removed it :( I was also crazy about the Pom Mango Mojito, which was also sadly removed.. Since that time, I have never had anything as out of this world good as that drink. One thing that I should point out that Moxie's also does right is their menu selection. The menu is well organized and substantial, catering to many different tastes and preferences. Online, you can also easily view the Gluten Free Menu, etc.
The desserts at Moxie's are always consistent and yummy, but I've had them all so much that I'm tired of them. They have removed my fave banana one, warm banana in a delicious pastry with vanilla ice cream and caramel. I like that they have special Holiday menu out every season, which spices things up. They also have a new brunch menu, which I will have to try.
One thing I really have to give kudos for for is the layout. The split between lounge (self-seating) and dining are (all booths!) is both unique and practical for the franchise. As well, if there is room at the bar, that is an option. The acoustics here are good as well, particularly the dining area. If I go to Earls next door, I can hardly hear the person I am with, unless it not peak hours.
Like I stated earlier, this location is always very busy. I have always had great customer service. One time I couldn't locate my server for a while, and called over the manager to place my order (not even complain), and he apologized and provided my wine refill for free. Some of the servers are really nice and make the experience that much better.
