I've never seen such clueless people own and operate a restaurant. Waitstaff are treated like slaves, and the owners have a bed in the back office where they lay and watch the surveillance cameras. Super creepy and gross.

The chicken wings are good though.

Looking for a place to watch the champions league final, me and my girlfriend ended up here, we got there 20 min before the kickoff and it was almost full, so we got lucky that we could got a table. As it was a special event, the bar was crowded and the service was very slow. We had to ask for the Menu and when we were ready to order we had to jump over a waitress to make the order. In the end... more

It's shoeless joes ..... Don't expect much. They had good service, good drinks and OK food. The server who waited on the table was helpful in ordering and checked on the table often. Good for a pre-drink or watching sports games.

Bad Service and Bad Food - Moth found in Salad.

Yes you read that right, my friend was having a salad at this fine establishment and found a huge moth in it, which she almost ate. We brought this to the manager's attention and he did not even offer an apology.

Stupidly we decided to go back again, it is close to work, and there is a nice patio.. we order our food at 12:05p.m. we get served at... more

The service was nice but the menu was outdated and my burger was overcooked. Even the Sangrias weren't as tasty as other locations.

Clueless staff!!

My coworker who is a regular here ordered the chicken fajita wrap but instead was brought some chicken appetizer. He pointed this out to the server when the server brought the wrong dish and the server replied 'no, you did order this'...um OK awkward. It was then brought to the attention of another server and the owner that the wrong dish was served to my coworker and again... more

Well I've always loved this place. It never fails to amaze me. Last time I had a burger and omg was it ever good. The wings are
To die for. They have some of the best sandwiches.

I just want to start by saying that this review is NOT based on the food, my husband had pasta and I had a flat bread pizza, I'd probably give 4 stars if it was based on what we ate however, we had the single most ridiculous restaurant experience ever here last week. I'm copying the e-mail we sent to Shoeless Joe's (and never heard back from) in an attempt to summarize this ridiculous... more

Went here with my football team after a game. Had great service by our server Owen. It can be hard serving large parties but dude had swag. Gave us free chips and dip because he knew we would be drinkin mass pitchers. Turned the music up, jammed with us a bit, split the bill of 17 pitchers no problem. Good service is hard to come by esp with large parties. Props to Owen.

Didn't even know there was a Shoeless Joes here but it's conveniently located as I have ball hockey nearby as well it's close to the Liberty Goodlife.

There's lots of TVs all over so whichever angle you sit at you'll be in clear view of a TV, so great for sporting events.

Not sure if our ball hockey league had a special deal but we got free nachos with 2 pitchers of beer.

On the down side it... more

Gord and I had supper this evening at Shoeless Joe's before heading to the Bruno Mars concert (it was on the way to the venue).

This restaurant is in our 'hood but we rarely go there. We like the food but we're not fans of the restaurant itself ... it's not a cozy fun spot.

There were people on the patio. We sat inside where it was cooler.

Gord and I both wings. Gord has his wings dusted... more

I had been to this location several times before the renovation and was disappointed every time. Just went for the first time since the renos and was actually surprised at how much it's been cleaned up. The space is much more open and comfortable. Tv's at every booth are a nice touch for sports fans. The menu has expanded considerably and improved tenfold. Choices are great for a night of... more

All the waitresses wear low cut tops and the food is pretty good. There's an Asian guy in a baseball cap that runs the show. I don't get it, where's HIS low cut top? It's weird because this is a sports bar, but it's not Hooters so why is every waitress so well endowed?! The chicken tenders and sweet potato fries are out of this world and I didn't notice any weird smells like other reviews have... more

went here for late dinner & drink with a friend a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised at the new decor ... not such a dive anymore with new booths, lots more seating and updated washrooms
however my friend is pregnant and we asked the waitress about virgin drinks to which we were told they don't do that, or they can but the price is the same (ridiculous) ... so I asked about a kid... more

I've only ever been here for drinks. It's a grungy looking sports bar, but it is always packed on the patio in the summer.

Service is ok, I've experienced WAY better elsewhere. Haven't tried the food so can't comment. The beer available is so-so, not a big selection. If you have no where else to go and are looking to wet your whistle, then stop here. If you can wait till the next bar, I... more

Terrible. Smelled liked a locker room (guess it's fitting?). For some reason they had the heat cranked. And whatever they pass off as food is despicable.

Our waitress was horrible, took 14 minutes to bring us a second round of drinks and then came back and explained that the printer wasn't working. Last time I checked you didn't need a printer to pour a pint of beer.

The place is sticky and... more

I was there during their grand opening, and thought it was pretty amazing. I had their Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and it was huge and delicious. I ordered it the next two times I was there, and every time it was completely different... and each time the quality got worse. Two of the times I was there was for farewell work lunches, and our group was big! Maybe around 15 of us or more. It is hard... more

I've been coming to this Shoeless on-and-off again for several years, and for my money, I'm watching it in a slow decline.

The servers have always been friendly, relaxed, professional, and fun to be around, but the food is another story. Over the years, portions have been reduced by a large margin for the price, and that's a major disappointment.

Not stellar, but their wings have always been... more

My buddies and I ate here last night. We are from Atlanta and are one a business trip. We spent over $200 at the restaurant and then the waitress loses my friends credit card. She just did not bring it back, we addressed it while she was still standing there. She fiddled around for a minute, looked around and could not find it. The manager on duty would do nothing to help. The owner called... more

I work in the neighbourhood and Shoeless Joe's has become a regular after work hang out for grabbing food and drinks. I even go there for my lunch break sometimes.

The food is alright, typical for a sports bar. I really like their blackened chicken salad though. The service varies; there have been good nights and bad. Overall, it's a decent place to hang if you're in the neighbourhood.

The key to this place is the number of TV's and selection of sports. They show all the fights, from UFC to Boxing events to Soccer. Don't come here for the food, come here if you want a place that isn't mega packed and you want a seat for a sporting event.

The food is your typical bar grub, nothing special. The service I experienced was quick and friendly.

Next time I am in the area and watch... more

This place gets 3 stars just for being one of the only places in the entire city that actually plays HBO Boxing PPVs. No cover. Arrive early or book a table. Lots of tvs and 2 large screens.

Food is average bar food. Some okay drink specials. Service has been okay the 3-4 times I have been here.

Nothing outstanding, just your regular sports bar.

My friend was in from out of town, so I had picked out Caffino for our dinner. Apparently I should have called ahead before we were there and starving because the restaurant was reserved for a wedding. I'm not overly familiar with the area, but I didn't think there were many options so we settled on Shoeless Joe's next door. Definitely not either of our preference, but we were hungry. I try to... more

Ended up here with some friends to watch the Mavs-Heat NBA game, and we were greeted by really friendly servers and a pretty warm, fun vibe at the restaurant. We got some good seats, were informed about the Thursday $4 drink special, and proceeded to order. I had the smoked jalapeno with honey glaze chicken wings, which weren't bad, and a couple slices of my friend's meat lover pizza (pretty... more

Great bar to watch soccer especially when Toronto FC is playing, bar is sortof headquarters of a big supporter group of the club. Also great atmosphere for UFC events and hockey. Big UFC events or the ones where GSP is fighting really make the place go crazy

I only ever go here to watch PPV sports, but it's an awesome place for it--the food is cheap, greasy, and plentiful, and despite the crowd, the service is prompt and attentive. Besides, watching the fights isn't fun unless everyone's into it.

Go early to get a seat, though--there's always a couple of moochers who show up at seven, occupy a ten-seat table, and drink colas all night until their... more

went there after rock climbing in Joe Rockhead's. Location is perfect to go to after a work out in Joe's.
the atmosphere is very sporty. Feels like all the guests are sports' fans and one of the games just finished and ppl came to celebrate and discuss the winning of their fave team!=)
lots of TV screens around showing all kids of sports also adds to that feeling.
in general very positive... more

Went here before MLS Cup 2010 at BMO. First off, the nachos are not big enough to feed 4 people and a small child. Second, the food is small for the price no matter what you order. The place was packed with TFC and FC Dallas supporters and our waitress did a good job on coming back to us. I'd go back again, if I'm in TO and I'm headed to BMO.

My friend Andy performs at Medieval Times. He is one of the knights. We used to be roomates years ago and we always went to Shoeless Joes for a drink and to play some pool.

They have great food, excellent service and a place to eat inside and outside.

Good as a sports bar with tasty food, meet the stars of Medieval Times (they hang out there ALL the time)

I have to disagree with Sam. If you are looking for a bar then this is a great choice. It's on a quiet part of King West where there is a ton of street parking right out front and the screens couldn't get much better. You can get a good view of the game from any seat in the house.

In terms of the food, it's bar food. Having said that, it's better than most comparable places. Serving sizes are... more

Last night, we took Shoeless Joe's up on their deal where we got 10% of the value of the meals that we had eaten there. It turns out that we only got 10% of the value of the FOOD that we had purchased in the past, not the alcohol... which makes sense... I'm just not sure that was the way it was presented to us when they told us about it in the first place (i.e. it could have been just 10% of... more
