The food tasted average and the portions are very small. I ordered a plater which was around 25$ and you can see the portions in the image. Not worthy as priced!They staff are friendly and the service is good. The ambiance is simple and I would recommend this for a casual meetup.

Food was ok, at par with similar competitors, but it had a strange vibe, almost a negative vibe. Workers didnt seem happy.... and how about some air conditioning??? Its warm and muggy in here... also, a warm beer mug is a real no no for people who enjoy a cold mug of beer. Overall it was disappointing.

Went here for half price apps and had a great experience! Mariam is one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had and she’s still really new there! She was so friendly and joked around with us, was always ready to make sure we had everything we needed, brought everything to us in a timely manner, and was just a really great waitress! The food was so good and you could actually taste the alcohol in my Bellini. I will definitely be coming back! Ask for Mariam if she’s working and make sure to tip her well if you’re just as happy as I am with the service!

We went to Crabby Joe’s on Thursday June 9th around 10:40pm. We got sat why someone named Vanessa or Victoria or something (short server dark hair) … We got sat by her and she started off the conversation pretty sure by saying I GUESS you can sit here. Then left, so we looked at the menus and were talking amongst ourselves… we waited for 20 minutes to be approached by someone, she walked past us multiple times and when she realized, she came up to us and “oh shoot sorry I 100% forget you were here”. That was our first red flag. She got our drink order, I ordered a virgin Caesar and my partner ordered an ice tea and she comes back with a coke and a Caesar I couldn’t drink because of how much Worchestershire sauce was in it. Took a picture and it was revolting how much was in it. She takes our order and forgets my partners meal… we wanted to speak to a manager but she was never around to ask for one… she didn’t check on us once until I was visibly angry with the fact that she openly was rude to us and completely messed everything up in our meals… we left very soon after getting our meals… while we were paying that was the only time she decided to try and talk to us for the tip… I tipped $4 but I wish I didn’t tip at all…

Good food but they give lost of salad and less cheese and dressing, cool atmosphere lots of TV to watch from but one server didn't even try to ask to see if they can play the Raptors game. You would expect the only Canadian NBA team playing tonight would be shown on TV but instead they're showing college basketball and no one was watching. That was Lame, who wants to watch the guid channel and college ball

I totally left hungry this evening. My $18.99 meal was so small I had to ask where the rest of my meal was. It was extremely disappointing the bowl was so huge you would be shocked. I also had to pay for mix in my drink. Pineapple juice and rum is a drink and you shouldn't have to pay extra.

We took our friends, family of four from Australia, to this top-notch restaurant and sports bar this evening and we got excellent service, great food and drinks in return. Bob and Patrick (co-owners), and our server Nosheen, were superb hosts and hostess, as usual. Also, our friends were impressed with the five-star service and cleanliness of the facilities. Will definitely come back soon and bring more friends with us for a taste of true North American hospitality and cuisine.

Not a bad place but had an interesting experience today, I went there with my friend and we ordered 2 beer and bartender asked us if we want to order some starter or main dish or something, we said we are good for now. Then after about 20 min she noticed that we didn’t order anything to eat, she asked us if we are done and want the cheque? ( we weren’t even done with our beer yet)we kinda figured that she wanted us to leave. So we left.other than this, it was peaceful and nice ambiance.

Issues over out of province vaccine receipts regardless of local bylaws permitting it. Refused entry. On previous experiences complained about food. Told it comes frozen and there is nothing they can do about the quality. Had a hard time getting a refund even though I ate nothing. Left unsatisfied and really upset from customer service to everything

The manager didn't let us in because we didn't have the RQ code but we had the proof of vaccination on hand, I think nobody should go Here they being very unreasonable, I can't understand if we had the proof on hand how is that not enough?? What's the point of getting vaccination proof if they don't take you seriously, they just lost 3 loyal customers from this location. The manager was just making things up, crabby Joe's gonna go broke if they keep treating customers this way, with actual proof on hand.
