Right in the middle of Scarborough City Centre, near the Highway of Heroes or the Macdonald-Cartier Freeway, Moxie's is the perfect family friendly restaurant to enjoy a great meal and is only a short walk to the movies or a transit station.

Moxie's is a great restaurant to take the family, friends or business colleagues for a delicious meal. We have something for everyone; steaks, hamburgers,... more

Close to home with a different environment

I have to say the one thing that separates this place from Keg, Milestones or Montana is the environment inside. And I am talking about the staff uniforms. The food menu is a combination of what The Keg and Milestones would serve which is alright and pricing isn't too expensive for their dishes.

We came out of a movie a little hungry just as the mall was closing but were saved by Moxie's being open late. We came for *the* white chocolate brownie. Our waiter, Aba, was a really cool dude. We asked for the dairy additions (ice cream and whipped cream) on the side but the kitchen sent out the fully assembled dessert. He was almost at our table when he realized, let out an audible curse,... more

Nice ambiance and convenient location, but that's about it.

Sat down at our table for 10-15 min and no server came. Turns out server was only paying attention to the 10 people party behind our table and completely missed us.

The food was mediocre and only slightly warm.

I dined here with a friend prior to a movie at the adjacent Cineplex. I'm a regular visitor to t dot and Scarborough in particular and had yet to dine at Moxie's. My friend doesn't have the most adventurous palate, so when he suggested here, it sounded fine to me.

July 14, 2018 - When we arrived we were greeted and seated soon after. We requested to be seated in a booth. Which they gave us no problem. Only issue was my friend was 9 months pregnant and couldn't fit very well there. So we then asked to be moved to a different table. When we sat down the seats were comfy and felt softer than the seats at the booth.

Best steaks for the price: Nicely seasoned. Thick cut and cooked properly on a real grill. Way above any other chains or steakhouses. I believe the steaks are 4 weeks dry aged and wet season aged after.

Pastas are bomb: Try the Rigatoni with Madeira Sauce. Out of this world. Alfredos cant be beat.

Sides are on point: The fries, roasted veg, sweet potates, stuffed potatoes, even the salads and... more

The staff here is really great, and the service is prompt. We ordered the tuna salad and spicy tuna roll, which were both dressed nicely. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. It's probably the best option of the restaurants around stc, if you're looking for a place that's classier than jacks and taster than Milestones.

I ordered the fish tacos (which comes with fries) for $15. Honestly the tacos were pretty average (not bad but nothing special either). I was a little bit surprised that I only got 2 tacos, considering the fact that this costed $15.

I have not been to moxies in a while but decided to go with a friend this past Fri night. I had the lobster and prawn linguine, it tasted fine until I ate the piece of lobster that was already pre removed from its shell (even though they left the empty shell in the plate), I just thought it was the sauce on the lobster that I did not like as the prawns tasted fine.

SURPRISE --- Moxie's does survey breakfast/ brunch on Sunday morning. Not busy because they do not advertise breakfast online ( no menu shown ). Even the opening time is different than posted online. Strange for a big company .
Service at 10:30 was good but sparse as was the number of clients on March 11 ( only 4 tables) . By 11:30 that number was 8 tables. Food was good.

We started off dinner with nachos and wings. The nachos were great but the salt and pepper wings were over-seasoned. They were cooked well though (crunch was good and meat was moist). The sirloin steak (medium-rare) was still a little more tough than I'd like, but the flavour was good. I got it with the baked potato and veggies. The potato was good and the veggies were alright but I don't... more

Moxie's has only one trump card among the plethora of other restaurants at STC: it's inside the mall. When you don't feel like trekking through rain and snow to Milestones, Jack Astor's, and/or Scaddabush, Moxie's is the next best option. By no means is it the higher quality option. It is the go-to for the average lazy diner who wants something of a higher pedigree than food court fare.
