| - The delicious food, sleek décor, and prompt service always blows me away. I've always had a consistent experience which is why I've given it 5 stars. It's generally priced at $5 more than the typical Jack Astors/Kelseys/Pickel Barrel meal but the quality of the food is on a completely different level.
I've been to this JOEY an embarrassing amount of times. My wallet is not happy; I've tried too many items on the menu.
My go-to and favourite item is the Baja Fish Tacos. Last time I was there, all four of my friends and I ordered this. The fish pieces pack a punch: crispy yet juicy and flavourful. The guacamole, cilantro, and other sauces make for a delicious combination. Even with the fried fish, I always feel refreshed after this item, like I just drank a smoothie. While it comes with only three tacos and no fries, I always feel full every time. Highly recommend!
For desert, the molten lava cake is rich, with a crispy exterior, and perfect if you adore chocolate. Perfect with the vanilla ice cream.
Other items I've had, ranked in order of how highly I would recommend:
Spicy BBQ Chicken: This burger is delicious! I love anything with Bbq and this hits the spot with the pulled chicken and sweet & spicy Bbq sauce. The coleslaw that this comes with is tasty as well. With a lot of Bbq sandwiches, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and slightly sick after the overload of Bbq sauce but I didn't feel that way after finishing the burger.
Tuna Sashimi Salad: Dear those who (incorrectly) think that salad is just lettuce with some dressing, please try this salad. It's so different from anything I've had before. The dressing is delicious and pairs perfectly with the veggies that Joey has. The tuna is always seared perfectly.
Lobster Grilled Cheese: A delicious combination of creamy cheese and rich lobster. While the cheese has a strong flavour, it wasn't overpowering and I could still get the taste of the lobster. I wasn't blown away but it was very good.
Ravioli with Lobster Cream and Grilled Prawns: This item looks gorgeous! My friend posted a picture on Facebook and I knew that I would have to give it a try. However, the portion was really small but I guess that's expected with ravioli. It was delicious but I didn't feel full after it. Considering the price, I don't think it was worth the money.
Panang Prawn Curry Bowl: This wasn't anything special, just a curry bowl with rice and prawns. I can think of many Thai places that do a much better job with this at a significantly lower price. I'd recommend you avoid this item. I'd also stay away from the ramen and butter chicken even though I've never tried it as I'd assume that many ramen and Indian restaurants would have this item at the same or better quality for literally half the price.
