I finally tried this location, it was busy and I saw many servers moving at a fast pace. My server was busy, a bit forgetful, & never check if I needed more coffee or got me the water I requested.

I like the mushroom omlette, with hashbrown and toast. I was full for the entire day, and left satisfied.

I prefer the Denman location, friendlier service, calmer environment and you see more residents than tourist at that location.

Food is good here, but if you want attentive service, try Denman Joe Grill.

I wish this site would revise their rating system. I hate putting "outstanding" for breakfast fare, but 3 stars seem a bit paltry for "solid", and "outstanding" seems a bit much...

Went to Joe's on Saturday around lunch after doing the 'Grind. We had to wait a bit for a table to be cleared, and it took a while for our order to be taken, but they were busy and when the waitress did come, she was very friendly.

As I said, I wouldn't say scrambled eggs and bacon to be "outstanding", but it was hot and the hash browns were one of the best I've had in a restaurant. Bread was supposed to be sourdough but tasted just like wonderbread, so not sure if I got the right bread.

One thing I don't understand about brunch restaurants around town is, why they never taste good. Scrambled eggs and bacon are hardly difficult items to cook, yet so many taste horrible. This place at least cooked it right and tasted good.

So, although I wouldn't actually say it was mind-blowing and outstanding breakfast, it surpassed almost all other breakfast-y places, and for a plate full of food for $6, it's the best value around.

Since moving out of the west end recently, I still crave my Joe's Grill breakfasts. Whatever you order, be it eggs, pancakes, omelettes, eggs benny, or a chicken avacado club, it is always great. They also make their own hot sauce which is excellent! The decor is simple, functional, but the food and service are the real deal. It often gets quite busy, but the servers never rush you out of the door as soon as you are done. Thanks for the many great breakfasts and lunches Joe's. I will visit again when I am downtown.

I happen to like waking up early just to have a good breakfast at breakfast joints, but in westend, there is unfortunately a dearthof good breakfast joints. Joe's grill along Davie is one pretty good one. Food is not spectacular but is solid food, egs are fried right or scrambled right, bacon and sausages are okay. Their waffles, french toast are solid. Their food is admittedly nothing fantastic to write home about but it is done right at least and taste good too. Solid food. The service i have to say is amazing, the servers are just friendly, and timely with the food and coffee. I will recommend the Banana pancakes to anyone who goes because it taste great. Great value for money as well. And i agree with the previous reviwer, you can sip your cup of joe with newspaper in your hand and its allright.
