Crabby Joe’s Tap & Grill

I was not at all impressed when I stopped by here on a Friday night. First of all waited FOREVER just to be seated. When we finally sat down took us about 15 – 20 mins for someone to take our drink order. Then when my drink finally came it had a hair frozen into the ice cube! I was disgusted, so I had brought this to our servers attention. They replaced the drink but yet still charged me for it. Food was okay, nothing special. After my experience here that night I will not be going back.

I would give this place less than a star if this app would let me. Service was crap, the bathrooms were a death trap and the bartender/​server had to be asked 5 times for a glass of water. Don’t bother with this place. Go to McDonalds or anywhere else.

I totally should have read the Unilocal Reviews before coming here… This place is 2 stars at best and it needs a total makeover. The owner really needs to look at his business and make some drastic improvements when it comes to everything in this place. Décor is too dark, Servers are on their cell phones instead of tending to customers, and the food takes forever to come out.
I came here on one of those «Im hungry and just need a place to eat» moments. I ordered the chipotle wrap with a salad and my friends ordered a pasta and a burger. The food took awhile to come out but when it did it was not bad tasting. However, while we were waiting for our food one their patrons stood up and walked out of the door due to sheer frustration that their server was paying more attention to their cell phones than their customers. As he was walking oit he yells «Crabby Joes Sucks!!!» which is exactly what the reviews say…
Anyways, Im positive that I will never ever be back here and Im pretty sure this place will not be around long if they do not drastically improve or do a complete restaurant makeover.

Food takes soooo damn long. Went here on a friday night and it wasnt even busy. It was actually dead. The food that we ordered were just appetizers and took more than 90mins to actually get served. Twice that happened. I have a feeling they will close soon. Permanently.

Should be a great place; very good location at a busy intersection. Inside though it’s dark, staff aren’t customer focused and there were some «interesting» clientele in the bar area.
Lacks character in terms of a vibe, lots of window dressing but usually attitudes like this are from top down.
Staff cell phones get way more attention than customers.
However beer is nice and cold, timely refills. Not sure about food because I wasn’t offered a menu.

Customer service training is needed!!! Food was extremely slow to come out. Didn’t taste so great and wasn’t hot! Below average. I wouldn’t pay for this again. The place looks decent inside but I don’t plan To go back

Trust the reviews that your read here about this restaurant. We sat down at a dirty table with dirty and wet menus and all of our menus were either covered in sauce, sticky or had food in the crease. We were situated beside the kitchen and at one point while we waited to order we watched one of the cooks from the line walk out and scratch his ass and walk back into kitchen. I’m not usually a picky person but i expect a certain standard of cleanliness above everything especially when I am paying good money to eat their food. I don’t want to feel like what I’m eating is going to make me sick a half hour later. We ended up leaving without ordering because after watching all this I pretty much lost my appetite.

Took wife and kids there had steak and wings for myself. Love it. Wife had shrimp scampi also tried hers too and that was also great. A bit too spicy for my 9 yrs old son. My daughter had kids pasta. We all love it and had left over doggy bag for breakfast. Definitely will come back

If I could not give this place a star I would.
The food was really bad we had to send the burnt food back and then it came out burnt again The manager could have came out and checked it himself but he or she was no where to be seen. Drinks were not replaced
I would never come here again. Stay away

Absolutely awful! Went on a Sunday when kids eat free and the waitresses were dresses like we were eating at a strip club! We have a crabby in our town and we enjoy going there and consider Sundays to be a family day. Seriously one waitress didn’t have underwear on (I could tell cause her shorts had lace down the sides) and her butt checks were hanging out… very inappropriate! Not a place to bring your children. The food was nothing worth commenting on, boring. Crappy joe’s should be their name here. Wish I had been able to read the reviews before going there!

I personally felt the service was horrible, our waiter barely came to see us after being seated, our food took a really long time to come and on top of that the food wasn’t
even that great. We had empty drinks for a good while till she came back, and even then we had to ask and wait anouther 10 – 15 minutes for drinks. I liked the drink menu but aside from that nothing too great. I have been here on a couple occasions for casual meet ups with friends or birthday dinners and I have never left feeling that satisfied.

I’ve been here several times for dinner and also drinks/​dessert. The service is good but the bartender doesn’t always make drinks properly. Food is nothing to rave about.

The food is okay. Nothing super special. The fully loaded baked potato was awesome. The drinks were really on the mark. Wine selection was okay. Sangria was the bomb. Server didn’t know the menu or liquor selection. This place has the bones to be good, but needs work.

Although our server was really pleasant and quick to bring our food & drinks, I can’t recommend actually eating anything here. We ordered the fish & chips, and despite the signage everywhere touting «fresh quality ingredients», it was obvious this meal came pre-​made in a frozen box. The fish was a good portion size, but the batter was so hard and had the consistency of cardboard from a cereal box. The tiny bowl of fries was laughable… and insulting considering the prices they charged. 2 pints of beer, 2 orders of fish & chips came to $ 43 including taxes but no tip. Complete waste of money and we won’t be back of our own volition.

Was here back when the NHL was actually playing hockey and not in meetings. I’m from the states and a hockey fan so I wanted to check out a Leafs game at a local bar to see what the fans were like. Great time and when hockey is back I will be back. Great food I had wings while I was there… great drink specials too. Excepts American Express.

Went back and was not impressed. Got the same special. This time the fries were cold and soggy and three of the six chicken fingers had unchewable bits of connective tissue inside. The soft drinks are over priced but free refills. While eating and hanging out I ended up getting two refills. When my glass was empty after that the server asked if I wanted another, I said I’m ok for now. She said «Good, I was gonna say that’s a lot of pop». WTF? Don’t judge my beverage consumption habits. After we were done eating nobody came to check on the table for 45 minutes. We contemplated getting up and finding the server to pay but she was MIA. The place wasn’t anywhere near packed. It’s a good thing I apparently over-​consumed the soda or I might have died of thirst waiting for her to come back with the bill.

Dropped in as a «plan B» and was not impressed.
Crabby Joes seemed to be just about average in a sense of food quality, and below average in a sense of service.
That’s one combination I find annoying — when waiters are friendly, positive, smiling, talking to you and so on — but completely ignore your needs as a customer.
I really want a server to notice when there are forks or knives missing, or that clients are sitting in front of an empty table and patiently waiting to make an order — especially when there aren’t many other customers around.
Other than that, think about Crabby Joe as a second grade Lone Star or Montana’s version, and you would be just about right in your expectations.

Crabby Joe’s? More like Crappy Joe’s. Ooo yeah, I went there.
In all seriousness, I’ve been to Crabman’s a few times already, and every time I always feel underwhelmed when I leave. The last time in particular, where the flies were so bad in the dining room, that I actually wanted to leave because it was so annoying.
The place itself is nice on the inside. Nice and roomey, with a decent bar area as well. Think Jack Astor’s, only if they had a psychotic break, and started taking everything way too seriously.
I’ve never had a complaint with the servers. They’ve always been very nice and helpful.
The food itself was always really bland. I don’t know, maybe it’s because it’s a little pricey, but I never really feel like the results really justify the bill.
Located in an area where you can always get better food for less with Sonny’s, Burrito Boys, or even Denny’s and Boston Pizza a little farther up Queen… I hope the Crabster steps his game up.

Was staying at a hotel nearby, and this was one of the few dining options within walking distance.
We should have expanded our search radius.
This place was bad. Food, drinks, service… everything. After a long day of driving, several of us felt like having a pasta dish (more of a meal, rather than a sandwich or ribs or the like), and while we all had only modest expectations, they still didn’t come close to meeting them.
The service was awkward and amateurish — our primary waitress seemed to struggle with my perfectly neutral American accent (wtf?), and the server who helped bring some of the plates to our table loudly announced twice she didn’t know what any of the dishes were. Really nice.
Because none of us got sick and the prices weren’t too bad, I’m going to be generous and give 2 stars. However, make no mistake, if ever again in the area I would never return here.

I had lunch here with my colleagues today. I hadn’t been to a Crabby Joe’s in years.
The service was good … our server was very attentive.
I ordered the baked chicken parm (lunch size) and it was delicious.
