Local sports bar for drinks & bite to eat

My Husband and I usually go here for a meal or a drink - food is average for a sports bar but the staff are friendly and helpful.
Would suggest you try the fish & chips and my husband had a good steak.
Could maybe do with a refurb a the decor is looking rather tired now but aside from... more

Bizarre Manager

Went to the Crabby Joe for a dinner with my girlfriend. Was sure to bring my Treasure Card for a good deal. The store manger paced the store giving patrons dirty looks and made my girlfriend feel very uncomfortable. A side from this the music was overly loud and took away from our diner conversation. Gave a nightclub feeling not... more

Lots of fast food joints are better then this

Came in for lunch with wife and two kids , kids had burgers, wife burger also and I challenged Rustic Penne pasta. Also had reheated from frozen, garlic bread.My wifes burger bun was rock hard, revived from frozen land as well, and my pasta seemed like it was precooked and sat in a pot filled with water all day. Paid... more

Skip it

I think there are better places to spend my hard earned money. There is nothing about this restaurant that is excellent and there are better chains for this type of food.

Mold

My friend and I went to Crabby Joe's for dinner before leaving for the airport. She had a sandwich, a simple clubhouse. I had finished eating when I looked to see that she hadn't gotten half way through her meal, I asked if it was ok? She replied that the bread was so hard she could hardly chew it and... more

A fine place for food, visiting and sports TV

My first visit to Crabby Joe's and I thought it was fine. A casual style restaurant with polite and efficient staff. I ordered a burger and it came exactly as I ordered it and was pretty darn good! They have a small bar area for folks that just want to hang out there. TV's all around so you can keep... more

Good atmosphere - typical grub

Our waitress Emilie made our evening. She was chatty and fun. The food was typical roadhouse/pub fare.

Dinner with a friend

Tried Crabby Joe's for the first time this evening. Our servers were helpful and friendly. I ordered the chicken stir fry. I enjoyed it and had enough to take home for my lunch tomorrow.
My friend had the chicken fajita's. It looked delicious.
Would definitely come again!

Always good food and fun

Always great wings, salads, sandwiches, you name it! Beer is always super cold, servers are super friendly. What more can you ask for!

A little disappointing

I used to love Crabby Joes, however they've gotta step it up if they're looking to compete at the prices they're charging!

This place is just OK

Food is OK, Drinks choice is OK and the staff is OK. Can't really rave about Crabbys. Prices are a little steep.

3 strikes you're out

Tried crabbys 3 different times, 3 different locations - each one as bad as the other. Food stinks so why bother.

Disappointing

Went with my family to celebrate my sons birthday. The prices were fair for the proportions of the meals served. But... the veggies tasted like frozen bulk and freezer burned, ordered my beef rare and was served under cooked and raw in the centre. The deserts were also poorly done. The Apple Crumble was frozen stock, (waitress admitted it), and,... more

Used to be better

I loved this place in the past because they served the bet ribs in town. Lately the quality of the food is just poor. It is still a acceptable place for having a cold beer and watching football. But do not expect to much.
Also the photo on tripadvisor doesnt show the actual place.

hhhmmmmmm

Wasn't the greatest, not sure why I go back, it is always mediocre at best. There were 2 of us and we each ordered burgers and the fries were limp, yes..limp. I wasn't too turned off by this because the burger was pretty good. The milkshake we had a long with it filled us up, and we ended up leaving... more

Poor Quality Food

Chicken Wings caused me the Triple D. Just terrible Food and the Service is just about the same. Save your money and have dinner somewhere else

A Place that Use to have Great food ,but after new mangement has Never been the Same

This use to be a favorite place of mine.They changed management a number of years back and were never the same.I have gotten hal-cooked ribs that were like rubber and some of the dishes they do not offer anymore.I even tried other locations and was dissappointed there too.

Very good food

Had the salmon which was the special and it was very good. Service was good and dessert was also tasty. Would go back.

Ok food, ok service....ok

Crabby Joe's is a "casual dining" experience. I find most "casual dining" experiences to be navy on the pre-made fare and light on the quality. CJ's is no different. Food is passable and selection is heavy on the meat so avoid if you like vegetables or cooking that features well prepared vegetarian fare. Service is pretty good if not a... more

Ok food, slow service and a bit pricey

Peanut allergies beware: they have lots of nuts at the bar area. I was fine in the dining area, but if you are very sensitive, I would recommend not going here due to the nuts.
My girlfriend and I stopped in here for dinner before the symphony.
The service was a bit slow, took 10 minutes or so before we... more

Tuesday is wings night

I've been here a number of times. Experience is okay, nothing special. We love their wings night every Tuesday. The food is not always consistent though, one time the pasta I ordered was so good, so I ordered the same thing again when we went back, this time the pasta was bland including the ice tea. :(

Slow Service

If you dont mind being ignored by bartended and waiting then you will be ok.

Great Food - Great Staff

Customer service was bar none here - had a very nice time

a beer or two

went in just for a beer, or two, throwing nuts around, playing pool

Good food

Personally I like going to this restaurant, but everyone else in my family says they're just average. They do have good drinks!

C@!p chain food. Only restaurant open late downtown

Awful chain food. If you like your food fast and bland, your beer cold and lager, and your TV loud and playing sports, then you'll have no problem. It's the only restaurant open late I could find in downtown Kitchener. I had some grey vinegary ribs. Beggars can't be choosers.

nice place

service was prompt and efficient portions a little small flavour was nice (needed more food)

We walked out

Wow, have never had such horrible service - we waited for 3 minutes at the door to be seated (other people had already been waiting). After we were seated, it took 25 minutes for the waitress to come over and say, I'm sorry but I'm going to be another 2 minutes - we didn't even have drinks yet. After 1/2... more

Disappointing. Waste of money and time

Went to dinner July 15/11. Order 2 Martini's-very nice! Ordered app. (nacho's) and dinner same time. Waited. Waited. Waited. No App. Main meal (salad for my wife nd salad for me; Med/rare steak for my son) arrives but no app.. They take salad's away to get app. They bring back salad's, still no app. Server goes to check - app.... more

We go there once a week or so. Usually we are served by Betty or a tall dark haired girl (Angela, Andrea, not sure of her name) and the service is good and quick, however, on our last trip, we were served by some other server who seemed like she was annoyed to serve us and mumbled when she talked. We could barelly understand what she was saying. Her service was awfully slow as well. I hope it... more

Terrible food and service

As if it's bad enough that they serve you frozen chicken like in a TV dinner, they don't even micro-wave it long enough. I was brought a cold and pink piece of chicken and it made me sick. I told them I wasn't paying for it, and they tried to make me. I had to... more

Worst service I've ever experienced

We decided to visit Crabby Joe's for dinner on a Saturday night. The restaurant wasn't exceptionally busy - we saw a few empty tables when we were seated. In the space of 15 minutes, four other tables were seated after us and four other tables saw a waitress and had their drink orders taken before us. My husband got up... more

New downtown location worst service ever experienced

My bf and I went to the new downtown location on Fri Aug 6th 2010. A blues festival was on so the area was floaded with people. My bf and I arrived, and the hostess seated 2 couples in front of us. She then asked us if we needed a table for 2. We said yes. She then proceeded to... more

unsatisfying pub food

I went to the one downtown at king and fredrick.
Funny name and all, I thought I'd give it a try.
It felt like a Jack Astors type of atmosphere.
Our server was nice, but the food just didn't hold its own.
My 'loaded' fries came with the smallest dollop of sour cream. Really. Tiny.
The buffalo chicken quesadilla should... more

The Sister Location Downtown Kitchener is BAD

My wife, daughter and I ate at this location an hour ago. My wife and I each ordered the Tuscan salad, mine without Feta. The salads arrived but mine with Feta and grilled chicken. We stopped the server right away, but the proper salad arrived eight? or so minutes later, after my wife had finished hers.
My rib/wing combo came... more

Wow

All i can say is wow......Me and my wife use to got to crabby joes kitchener all the time, until we got into an argument with the owner..The owner was cheap, rude and didn't have any customer service skills. The other day my wife and i decided to give it another shot...As soon as we entered we knew something had... more

Great menu and atmosphere

This restaurant is super clean and has a menu with great variety. We were only here for the weekend, but ate at Crabby Joe's twice!!!!

Always a good time

Crabby Joe's has a nice menu for a guy like me! Place was really empty when we hit it so service was good, although it did take them QUITE a while to notice we were waiting to get seated. They've gotten a bit pricier, I've noticed.

Great food,excellent service, welcoming staff

under cooked pink chicken wings - wait staff too busy with their personal life to pay attention - overall - a horrific experience - not recommended.

Great, fun atmosphere, not noisy & great service & great food

Great Service until overhearing the hosts saying "it's not like you can say thanks now get the hell out" but

Horrible horrible place

Horrible horrible place. The food is terrible, the service is worse. I've given this place 3 tries and its failed evertime.

I have gone there long times ago with friends I think

Good food, average prices

Good food, average prices

They never answer their phone if/when you call there for information and the waitresses are very neglectful and ignore you offering POOR service.

Crraby Joes is a good family restaurant when I was there I had there chicken wings 20 for $5, there licenced, the waitresses friendly. I recomend Craby Joes. It is still on farway and doing well.

Crabby's Joes is a good place to go, lots to choose from on the menu.

If you have kids it is a good place to go. The kids meals are nicely
priced and lots more food than you ever get at a fast food restaurant.

The paper covering on the table will keep the kids and the parents
busy while waiting for your meal to come.

Good thing about this place is for those people just coming from... more
