    I am so impressed. The food here is exotic & presentable. Flavors are right at point! Cleanliness is very good. The manager visited us and made sure that all good allergies and the food choices were being chosen accordingly. The staff is very friendly Keep it up you guys.

    Disappointing bland food and drinks were nothing special. The desert was not great as well. Had the poke bowl. Very little dressing or flavour. Has the lavender drink and could barely taste the alcohol. Same for the white Bellini. Wouldn't recommend. Staff was friendly but totally didn't check in on is very often.

    Came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. Our server Amy was very friendly and attentive to our needs. We got nachos for the table which was the perfect portion size. Kids cheese pizza was perfect size, as well. I got the chimichuri steak salad, medium rare. I do wish they didn't use so much dressing. My lettuce was swimming in dressing towards the bottom of the plate. The steak was more medium well than medium rare. I like the pink line. The flavours were great. We finished with the famous white chocolate brownie. It was amazing in every way possible. We ordered coffees and teas. They accommodated my request to have oatmilk but forgot to give us all a spoon to stir. Minor detail - luckily, I had a clean butter knife left still to use to stir. The atmosphere in the covered patio was very nice.

    We came to watch the NBA All Star Saturday at the bar. Ordered 2 drinks and a dessert, the bartenders were friendly and checked on us every once in a while if we needed to order more drinks. The Mini Toffee Pudding was good.

    We enjoyed our time at Moxies but found the food and drink did not live up to the cost. I had the crispy chicken burger with hot sauce which tasted mostly like vinegar and was not very crispy. I requested no cheese but they added it anyways. We had a peach cocktail and a hard lemonade and both were good but not very much alcohol for the price. However the service was fast and friendly.

    I had an incredible experience here for Mother’s Day. The food was good but it was definitely our server Lauren, that made it amazing. She was just super on the ball with everything, and definitely one of the nicest servers I’ve ever had. She made my families experience amazing with her upbeat personality, energy and just overall kindness. Thanks Lauren and Moxies team!

    Had gone for dinner , this was our 1st time at this location, even though we had no reservations, we were given a table right away . We were 4 on our table, the sever not sure If she was new, got us only 3 plates when we were 4, For starters we ordered calamari and wings ( 2 types) hot and sweet and spicy, not sure what happened there, we got only one type and that too not what we asked for, when we asked the serve ,she said this is what we had ordered, not wanting to spoil our dinner we kept quite, for dinner both me and my husband asked for well done Steak, mine was well done, but his was not. When we were done she just came and left the bill on the table where the table was wet.totally not satisfied and disappointed with the food and service..Will never go back. We still left her a tip ..and she did not even say Thank you.

    The food, drinks and staff were amazing! They took care of the allergies.. Caitlin served us, such a sweet young girl! The mains and sides all tasted perfect.. they even gave us a hot sauce on the side! She also changed a drink because the one we ordered was too sweet! They even gave us a free Toffee Pudding Dessert which was delicious was to end the night! Don't miss out on their Happy Hours! 2 to 5 pm or after 9 pm.. they have their own in-house DJ too.. Must try their Lavender Lemonade!

    Late night White Chocolate Brownies always slap 8/10. Solid dessert. Update (June 01, 2023): The manager at Moxies Pickering just responded back to my initial review. It's funny because I was just there again late last night grabbing the White Chocolate Brownie (With extra chocolate sauce) AGAIN! 😆. For anyone curious, it's definitely worth the try for a quick sweet craving, go for it!

    Remarkable service and atmosphere at this moxies. I really enjoyed the entire experience, every single time I visit this location. This time I got the tuna poke bowl, which was both flavorful and packed with yummy ingredients. It's a great keto friendly option for those going out to eat. My friends received fast service on their drinks and food as well. The servers were very helpful and accommodating which was great to have. Looking forward to coming back here!

    Dinner was delicious, I enjoyed calamari with shrimps to start, then steak as a main course. Perfectly prepared and enjoyed to a full tummy, with left overs. Service was excellent 👌

    A great place comes with lots of seating and good ambience. It is closer to highway 401 so it is located at a very convenient location. We were group of 4 people who decided to sit out in the enclosed patio area as the patio was full on Sunday evening. We tried the spicy mexico tequila drink, mojito and watermelon lemonade. They tasted really good. For starters, we ordered Calamari - it had some textured on it so not a big fan of it but it came with a yummy dip which I really liked. We got Chicken Rigatoni - this was too rich with butter and we couldn't enjoy it completely. BT's spicy crispy chicken burger and Bacon Cheeseburger were good. Sweet potato fries were amazing. To finish it off, white chocolate brownie was the best of all.

    4 stars as my daughters burger was not good and since she didn’t tell me until she tried 3 bites, I didn’t think it was fair to return the dish or complain. (I am not sure what’s expected, esp. with burger as for young kids is at least couple of bites before they actually try the middle of the burger). Rest of our food was amazing. Tuna poke bowl, blackened chicken burger and beyond burger! Loved their One bite brownie !

    When you enter you QR scan at the entrance to leave your contact tracing info, which was quick and easy. Nice patio space. Lots of umbrellas up for hot afternoon sun. Service was great, greeted us right away and super friendly. I had the blackened chicken sandwich with fries which came with bacon and cheese. Delish!

    We went to Moxies for Mother’s Day dinner and the place was jam packed. We were seated in about 30 mins so recommend to get a reservation. The kitchen was busy and the food did take time to arrive. Moms got a complimentary drink. We like the lettuce wraps. The streak and cheeseburger could have used some more seasoning. The kids chicken fingers had very hard breading for our two year old to chew. The service was slow and lot of the cutlery was missing. They even forgot to give a steak knife. Overall decent experience.

    This burger was not worth $24. Service was acceptable and fast. Burger needs more size and flavour especially since it was only one patty. Un could have been crispier on the outside as well.

  • 5/5 Cindy N. 8 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Probably the best of the local watering holes. Consistency and seasonal menu additions make return visits a treat. I had the guacamole and chips and the chicken lettuce wraps and fries. Very good. No complaints. *I really loved the lemon quinoa they used to have. I would order multiple portions at a time. Really hope they could bring it back - the ancient grains are really inconsistent and lacklustre.*

    Took a friend there for his birthday. I’ve been there many times, and the food is always good. We sat in the enclosure by the bar and Farrah waited on us. She was great! She knew the menu, was fun to chat with and was very timely. Thanks Farrah, for making the night great! We had a blast!

    Came here to unwind a couple of days ago. It wasn’t too crazy but the kitchen was very busy. Took a while to get our food but our waitress Katelyn (sp?) let us know it would be a while so we were okay with the wait. I ordered the lavender lemonade drink (pictured with the cucumber on the rim), and my cousin got the Mexican bulldog (can never go wrong with this one). The lavender lemonade tasted okay, a little soapy because it’s hard to get lavender into a proper flavour in food and drinks. After this, I ordered the pineapple basil margarita and it was GREAT! To eat, we shared spicy beef nachos, and chicken wings (not pictured), then my cousin had the steak frites (her steak looked a little too small but she said it was still good), and I ordered my usual chicken tenders and fries (not pictured). We both made our fries truffled. The food was good, most of the drinks were good, the bartender was amazing, so friendly and nice (I didn’t get her name, unfortunately). Overall, great experience here. 10/10, would visit again.

    Order a couple of apps and the mango chicken. They were all good. Place is clean. Stay is friendly and helpful. Mind you it was not busy inside. Food was good. Drinks could use more alcohol as it is very water down and the amount of ice cubes they put WOW! It’s like 80 % ice cube, 20% water down alcohol drink.

    Nice place to enjoy a birthday!!> best steak ever. recommend the steak New York style. all food in balance with the best price along with a excellent customer service which surprise us with a Happy Birthday brownie. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Jillian D. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food and great service. Portion size was also pretty good we tried The salmon, double cheese burger, kids burger (which is huge), kids Alfredo. Beef vindaloo which didn’t disappoint and the mango chicken! Okay I’ll definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Sujeetha M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was excellent. Presentation was really good. Our waiter was good at what he does and very friendly. Our favourite dishes were the coconut curry soup ( featured soup of the day) and the Chimichurri Steak Salad was delicious. Only complain is about food flies. We spotted 2 around our table and we didn't like it.

  • 4/5 Methushaa S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were pleasantly surprised at how good this restaurant was! we got a last minute reservation and had a wonderful time. the hostess was so friendly and accommodating. the food and drinks were also very good, the hostess recommended a really good wine. We weren’t expecting an asian fusion menu but it was a good surprise! The only thing I will say is that it did take some time for the food to come out and they also ran out of wine glasses, but that may have just been because it was busy.

  • 5/5 Kahalia F. 1 year ago on Google
    I will start off by saying this location never fails me!!! Each and every time I come to dine here I’m always greeted cheerfully and treated respectfully throughout my entire experience. Some restaurants give you a rush feeling when ordering food but here they allow you enough time to go through the menu and make the best choice. Pictured here is the Chicken Madeira Rigatoni( Can never go wrong with this option) and their Chicken Alfredo pasta The drinks are Peach Bellini, and new stand out of mine their Mexican bulldog drink- honestly I do not like beer one bit but this drink gives it a nice taste and doesn’t leave you with that carb taste in your mouth. I highly recommend it. Of all of their locations I feel this one will provide you with the best experience. Quality to Price: Can be a bit on the pricier side compared to other places but the quality is always present; food is always hot and fresh. If I had any suggestions possibly to reduce the amount of sodium in some of the dishes I love the rigatoni but it is but on the saltier side compared to other dishes

    I have not been at Moxies for a while and this experience did not disappoint. Our server Ana was amazing, knowledgeable and accommodating. We had asked for some adjustments to our food and were welcomed with understanding. Michael, the manager, came to our table and personally had checked on our preferences. Then he advised that the item will be taken off our bill as well. Very impressed. Thank you so much for this great experience!

  • 5/5 bu b. 1 year ago on Google
    Always want to try here, finally I could be the boss (as the birthday girl). Love the food here. Happy hour food is really a good deal (before 5pm) Kids meal burger is huge. Got a complimentary brownie dessert for me. Very gummy. Will definitely come back again. Only part I don’t like is the menu is all plain words and small. Hope could have some pictures to help the selection. Even though I checked these Google reviews and found some yummy dishes, but still so hard to find them in the menu.

  • 4/5 Megan C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, service could improve. My plate was left in front of me even after it was put into a take out container and stayed there till we left. Other then that I would say it was a great experience.

  • 3/5 Jan Bode w. 2 years ago on Google
    My guy booked a group of us to celebrate my birthday. The food was delicious but it would have been better if a hotter temperature. Conversation was difficult due to the bass booming in whatever "music" was being transmitted. It seems to that Moxie's has become somewhat of a sports Bari!!?? I would try it again but would check the noise level before I placed my order.

  • 2/5 Hailey V. 2 years ago on Google
    The burgers were not good at all and their menu is way to small. Also dont go in groups cause at least 1 person will be waiting 45minutes later than everyone else for their food. The staff were very kind and hospitable, but everything else was far less than good.

  • 5/5 Reviewz by J. 2 years ago on Google
    Edited ~ Amazing customer service from the manager on July 29th! She went above and beyond to ensure my dietary allergy was managed safely by the kitchen so that I could enjoy my desired meal for my birthday celebration. I so appreciated how seriously the staff took my health issue and that they didn't mind making adjustments in the kitchen to accommodate me. The manager especially was so friendly and wonderful. The food was delicious! The decor was lovely and we didn't have a wait for a table which was nice, despite not having a reservation. The only issues we had was that our table was sticky and didn't seem to have been wiped down, the music was a bit too loud, and the prices were pretty steep for the portion sizes. (ex. we ordered sweet potato fries as an appetizer for the table to share for $10 but the order was the same size or less that you'd get as a side with your meal. They were good but way overpriced.) I was also given the white chocolate brownie as a complimentary dessert for my birthday which was much appreciated! However, the brownie wasn't heated and it wasn't the normal large square size, but just a tiny sliver. I had been looking forward to the dessert for a long time so it was disappointing that the brownie was cold, tiny and hard. I had ordered the regular size brownie without whip cream but was given the one in the photo attached. Overall though we had a wonderful experience and loved our dinner celebration. Thank you so much for a great birthday experience at Moxie's!

    Took one of my work team for our lunch. Our server Emma provided great and friendly service to us. Food was fantastic. I had the ginger soy tuna salad and we shared the truffle parmesan fries which were delicious. First time at this location but won't be the last with pandemic rules opening up

    Wonderful bathroom with rooms instead of bathroom stalls. Food was great. Was not too overcrowded as I was originally anticipating. I love that there are so many different sections at this location

    Benton at the bar was extremely helpful and friendly. He went above and beyond. Took a bit to get my order taken but the calamari and mushroom sirloin were great!
