The service was great, and all the reviews that say the service is bad are crazy. Isabel was our waitress; Isabel, thanks so much for being so good to me and my son Kai! I’ll definitely be coming back, even if it was just to get Isabel again 😉😉

I'd avoid ordering from this Joe's, the quality of food and service has gone downhill. I put in an order through Skip and it was over 2 hours of nothing, even the driver texted me saying he didn't know what was going on.
When the new driver picked it up it was very cold, and the poutine didn't even come with any gravy, not even on the side to pour on it.
