joey mayfield

delicious and remarkably fast. being late likely helped (8:30 on a friday), but our party of two was seated very quickly by a lovely hostess. theservicewas prompt and friendly and she was knowledgeable about the menu. she wasn't afraid to make a recommendation. cocktails were quick. we ordered--baja fish tacos for me, rotisserie chicken for him--and our food was delivered in less than 10 minutes. that was a shock. so if you're in a hurry, those are quick options with the chicken and the mashed potatoes already cooked and tacos needing quick assembly. the tacos were outstanding, particularly the sauce. the chicken plate was enormous--half a chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus--and couldn't be finished by a big eater. he reported it was very good and very moist. the mashed potatoes were some of the best i've had in a restaurant (which usually disappoint). we were out the door within 45 minutes. nice decor, especially the patio, pretty people to look at (staff and customers), friendly staff. we'll go back.

have eaten here many times and it's pretty much above average when it comes to bothserviceand food. never had to wait long for a drink, or water. food is the usual bar yet upscale menu. i always get the hash on the side which is always the best with the cool sour cream. this particular time i had the ravioli with lobster cream and grilled prawns. i'm a sucker for cream sauce on pasta and this was not bad at all. 

sal says: just try it (3.5/5)

as colder weather hits #edmonton, its time to check out some indoor patios! joeys mayfield is a prime indoor patio! water feature, trees, and giant windows to let in maximum light and warmth. food and drinks are expensive but tasty. servicewas fantastic! a real patio feel even though you're indoors. definitely coming back.

one change: take a little water out of the pool so that there can be a fountain. the sound of water falling would take the ambiance to the next level.

food and drink: 7/10
ambiance: 8/10
service: 9/10

joey is a really nice chain restaurant, each location has its own charm. joey mayfield is no different! it has a beautiful atrium and a great ambience.

joey has delicious cocktails and food. i had a bellini, a sangria and the california chicken sandwich. the sandwich had a lot more bread than chicken but was quite good overall. both the bellini and sangria were flavourful and well made.servicewas good and attentive.

i would definitely recommend this joey location!

joey's in mayfield edmonton is truly a really great restaurant to go to for a first date. it's got a really pleasant atmosphere, even though it is (kind of but not really) a franchise; i've honestly had so many memorable experiences dining here. overall, it has a generally accepting atmosphere even if you are dressed to the nines or alternately wearing sweats. i mean, preferably you could choose to wear jeans or something as it has a nice balance between fancy and casual dress attire-but you could definitely get away with less.

generally speaking, i prefer cozy little unique family-owned restaurants that make you feel good inside about helping out a local business. with that being said-we all hit these types of restaurant "chains" from time to time, for a multitude of reasons. whether it's for a birthday dinner, a typical date night, or for the plain and simple fact that some people have no idea where else has good food besides the typical go-to places that everybody else has heard of.. and let's face it-might as well go someplace with generally attractive people working there-i've ended up at joey's a crapload of times.

the first joey's opened in 1992, and now there are a number of locations, with 3 currently in edmonton. i've frequented the mayfield location over the years, as well as the jasper ave spot (before it closed down in anticipation of its new location in bell tower).

while i wouldn't exactly rave over joey's, i'd have to admit all-around everything is comfortable and consistently reliable. which doesn't, of course, sound overly exciting but is nice to know you can count on feeling general satisfaction. the restaurant itself is spacious, with a generally upscale decor, but a classy laid-back atmosphere. i've always found theserviceto be the typical standard of most restaurants-polite and mannerly.

i have tried many dishes over the years and i find the food and drinks have all been satisfactorily palatable. i prefer the filet mignon, which is my personal favorite here-and i particularly love the fully loaded, crispy mashed potatoes. they remind me of spring rolls in appearance, and i find them an entertaining and delicious accompaniment. lately, they've featured a fair amount of asian-inspired fusion dishes which is intriguing, though i'd have to rate their "sushi" as passably mediocre at best.

overall, i'd say i enjoy all the joeys restaurants, though i'd have to say that the mayfield location is probably my favorite. the winning feature here is probably the patio, as it is technically still indoors, but has an outdoorsy feel with lots of windows. if you are in the west end and are looking for a place to eat-check it out for sure!

went to joey's a few weeks ago. we sat in the lounge. when we first arrived it was packed and the music pumping. the music was way too loud for the first 1/2 hour as we were having trouble talking/hearing our server. however the food was spectacular. we started with the korean cauliflower which was crispy, flavorful and and had just enough kick. i got the lobster & shrimp ravioli. it was decedent, creamy, rich full of flavor and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. my friend got the ahi tuna salad and a side of crispy mashed potatoes. both dishes looked really good. she devoured both dishes, so they must have been awesome. to top it off they have these amazing supernova drinks which are flavored vodka of your choice, soda, topped of with slush and a lime wedge. these are trouble. it was a little pricey but worth it if you want to treat yourself to a good meal.servicewas top notch.

enjoyed the food here. everything tasted pretty good.servicewas good and pretty fast. we didn't wait long to be seated even though the place was full of customers. would likely come back if i am in the area.

i feel like this restaurant is trying to walk the line between fine dining and a casual chain restaurant.  my friends and i had a reservation for 10 on a saturday night at 7pm.  getting there, i realized that this is a huge restaurant, and even has it's own fountain pool in the centre of the restaurant which is a nice touch.  the ambiance along with the dimmed lights creates a more relaxed and fine dining environment.  after being seated, we had our drinks and food orders taken.  i got the calamari to start, and had the prime sirloin.

the calamari to start was impeccable, perfectly seasoned with a spicy aioli sauce that was a little bit spicy and added to the flavour of the calamari.  after that, all the other food that my friends and i had were very average and mediocre.  i got the prime sirloin which came with a side of vegetables and mashed potatoes.  while the prime sirloin was good, it was relatively unevenly cooked throughout.  parts of it were red on the inside, and others were barely pink.  it probably ranged from medium rare to medium well, which i guess averages out to what i wanted (medium).  all the flavour seemed to be in one of the corner of the steak too - the seasoning definitely wasn't evenly spread out.  some other concerns my friends noted is that their steak and sushi only came with 5 thin strips of steak, and that at times our table seemed to be neglected.  water at times wasn't filled, and we were left waiting a long time between cleaning up dinner until paying.  that being said, when theservicewas there it was friendly and understanding, so that's a plus.  they also said that their kitchen was behind schedule, so maybe that's why it took them a while to do some stuff.

all in all, i wasn't ecstatic of my experience here.  i had higher expectations from others and reviews i've read, but i left the place feeling as if i had just gone to a fine dining restaurant and paid those prices but gotten regular chain restaurant food that is oh so common in edmonton.  i'd not be opposed to coming back with friends, but i wouldn't recommend or suggest this place to others.

prompt service, and polite and friendly staff. we only actually saw our server to take the order, when we got the food and for the cheque. so no extraservicethere. good was good though. reasonable portion sizes, and great tasting.

joey has got to be one of my favourite "fine dining" restaurants and one that i have been coming back to and at times, finding myself craving their food. as any other restaurant,  joey can get very packed at night with a wait but i have never had to wait excessively long whether it be a party of 2 or a party of 6. in the summer, they open up the windows in their patio. i would recommend trying to get a patio seating if available as it makes the experience even more enjoyable.

i have never had a problem with theservicehere. theserviceat this particular joey is exceptional. the staff are all very polite, friendly, and attentive. some servers even try to make your dining experience feel more personal by asking you about your day or your plans, which i believe all servers should try to do rather than making you feel impersonal and that they are truly just there to "serve" you. 

the food has *consistently* come out fantastic each and every time i've been back. i won't go into specifics about their food but i will name a few of my favourites: the herb crushed salmon, their steaks, the beef dip, and especially their yam fries. their presentation with the food is beautiful and you can tell that joey really puts a lot into how they present and make their food.  i even forgot, more importantly, their famous crispy mashed potatoes is a side dish you must try.

i love the food, experience, andserviceat joey and it is a place i will continue to keep coming back to.

can zeroservicebe called bad service?. the wife and i decided to go for a late evening meal last night. arrived at the restaurant around 10:15 and were escorted into the dining lounge. at that time of night the room was quiet with less than a dozen patrons in the room. we were seated, poured a couple of glasses of water and then forgotten. totally forgotten. it's as if we were invisible. servers stood around and chatted. other staff attended to laying out cutlery. we enjoyed our specially prepared city of edmonton water for 20+ minutes and then got up and left. nobody noticed or could have cared less. i phoned the manager this evening and from the response i got, his attitude must have been infectious. he and his staff deserve one another.

totally ignored, we were shown to our table we waited 20 min, noservicethen we walked out. and nobody noticed us walk out, we will never go back.

never enough. i find the portions small. usually i end up ordering lettuce wraps after my main instead of dessert because i'm not full. waitress suggested i have steak next time. i may give that a try. food is good, i would just like to leave full.serviceis always good. i'll keep going back. red racer beer is good also.

terrible service. i had been to this location a couple of times and enjoy myself, mostly during rush hour,
my friend and i went there after rush hour, place was almost empty

which we said coffee,

i really enjoyed the experience. the ambiance was great and the food was spot on! the food was really flavourful but it was a little but spicy. the ambiance was amazing relaxing, quiet and modern. theservicewas very helpful and they catterd to all of our needs. i definitely recommend for a late lunch/ early dinner.
