Joey's Fish Shack

The staff are always super polite and sweet, service is very quick. There's always a cute joke and drawing on my take out bag that makes me smile! My fish and chips are always hot and crispy, and my deep fried mocha mud pie is always delicious and a perfect treat! I love the layout of the dining area, and washrooms have always been clean during my visits.

Our first time "back" to Joey's since they shut down for 2-3 months. Familiar faces welcomed us. Reno's are simple but clean and nice. Now the kitchen is hidden with extra partitions closing it off. Food is fantastic as always, service us friendly with a smile and consistent throughout our meal and the menu is fantastically better. Great family meal options with crab, muscles, shrimp and scallops. As it was before, solid value for your money. Now that's fresh!!

Love it! Family vibe. Keeps ot basic. Get the fries any way you want em. Awesome!

My wife and I went last night for dinner. Despite the A/C not working we had a great time. Food was delicious. Probably the best fish and chips we’ve had. Big thumbs up to the cooks and servers. Even had a free dessert, which we weren’t expecting for our anniversary. Thanks much. Job well done, will definitely be back.

Joined the Mariner's Club and have received two awesome digital coupons!
Enjoyed this fish and shrimp combo at half price!

Very beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. The shrimps and fish were too nice and the taste was unbelievable.

Fast, efficient and attentive.

On the Twelfth day of Christmas my true love gave to me~ An unforgettable experience at Jo-eys!

Been here over three times since they opened, so faced with a spare moment I penned this review to accommodate the opening.

Never once had to wait long to get a table, having had to "wait" less than a minute each and every time.

With fish being their trademark, the Snack Shack would be expected to serve wholesome and delicious seafood, and indeed, Joey' has no issue meeting expectations.

For price-to-taste ratio, I'd rank their Classic Famous Fish as the greatest buy. Having tried their Cod fish, I'm unable to recommend it over their classic fish. While the taste may succeed its predecessor, the texture threw me off, along with being a third more expensive.

As for the highest class of fish (that they serve), the rare and exclusive Halibut, while certainly delicious and deserving of its acclaim, is far from cheap (nearly three times as expensive at the classic variant). Of course, if price isn't an issue or you’re celebrating, then I'd recommend their halibut over all others. Otherwise, it’d suggest the classic Famous Fish. However, if you have a companion traveling with yourself, it’s a great dish to split.

As usual, you can a side with your fish. Having tried a few of them, I'd sticking to the tried-and-true classic: Fries. Not to say the others aren't much trying, Caesar Salad's pretty good, but the fries are a great accompaniment to some delicious fish. Paired with ketchup, gravy or even vinegar, they're great no matter how they're served.

As for some... Cons... I'll list a few.

If you enjoy coleslaw, you may be disappointed to know that they charge for it ($2). Granted, it’s a decent portion, and it comes in a cute miniature cast-iron pan, but it feels expensive when it could be free of charge (with your fish).

Personally, aren't a fan of the aesthetics. The booths are constructed what looks to be wooden planks and looks too "Ol' Timey" for me. While I'm sure its intentional, this particular style is lost on me. However, the booths are lined with fabric that has padding in it, so comfort isn't an issue.

The table and chairs being strung out in the middle of the restaurant feels off to me, little privacy and feels like everyone can see you, but for now, this is a non-issue with the seating restrictions. Perhaps they'll change it up a later date.

Though I'm actually mixed about it, as opposed to previously, they don't serve the food on plates, but on metal trays. While before I did think plates looked better and found it unnecessary to swap them out for something else, they've grown on me since. They're actually bigger than the standard plates, and it grants a sense of uniqueness, so not so bad in hindsight.

On to service. They've always been polite and friendly and attentive. Some of the fastest at bringing orders to the table, and never slow to top off a drink. Doesn't take long to get a bill and, so far, have been able to pay at the table each time as opposed to the counter (getting to stay off your feet for as long as possible is always nice). They even you give the rare and exclusive luxury, apparently referred to as a “straw,” when you order a drink! And, get this, its biodegradable! So, not only do they retain their form and stay together and not fill your drink with paper flecks, they actually help you feel like a stand-up person as the straw can be recycled, and thus not end up negatively effecting aquatic life in the Pacific. For such a great cause, you should order yourself a plate of shrimp or perhaps even a halibut, and devour it in the straw’s honor!

Overall, if you’re a fan of seafood, I highly recommend Joey's Fish Shack.

Reliable and always good food and service. Plenty of parking.

All You Can Eat Fish N' Chips night was to die for. The batter was delicious and fries kept coming! We had a new waiter but they were very friendly and kept the pops coming! Thank you very much!

Friendly staff and great fish&chips!

Fell for Joey's back in the 90's and decided to bring the wife there tonight for date night . We had not been there since covid hit and were pleasantly surprised by the makeovers of the dining room and the menu. The owner Alisha was in the trenches with her staff and was eager to answer any questions we had ( very personable and professional) as well as our server Brandi . Good food good atmosphere and they are watching their prices instead of just marking them up as they please 👍🏻

Had an amazing meal here on Wednesday. Mussels were the best I’ve ever had, and the fish was so delicious.

Thank you to the waitress who took my special request ♥

Yummy.suuuper yummy!. great service in the restaurant!

I did an experiment to see how well the fish would freeze and reheat.. fabulous!! I bought extra fish to take home and stuck it in the freezer.
Pop in the oven for 10 minutes and it is still is crunchy. So happy about that. I shall always keep some in the freezer.

Very good service. Family friendly.

This is the mai place my wife and I go for our date nights. We absolutely love this place. The staff are all amazing and the food is great. I myself am not a perso who's big on fish but I will always eat there no questions asked. Good job guys thank now and always.

Very upbeat, pleasant seafood restaurant. Food ordered was hot and tasted quite yummy! Waitress was attentive, checking back several times during our meal and was pleasant, wearing a wonderful smile while serving us. Was very happy with this restaurant's food and service, during our brief stay in Grande Prairie.

I have got dinner here twice for my wife and I. Both times we got their dinner for two. 1st time they seemed to have missed a box, the coconut shrimp (super good btw 10/10). After a quick phone call I had the shrimp on its way, the had even did a fresh double order on the house! Tonight we got the second order, and the woman on the phone took note that my wife was pregnant, and even tossed in free brownies for us, saying "Something sweet for the new mom". I am very happy with our service and how kind the staff seem to be. 11/10, would eat again.

Service was great. We ordered 2 piece halibut and hand cut fries, cole slaw.
Fish was battered and fried to perfection. Fries were good. Coleslaw very good.
So happy we went to Joey's for supper. Thx for a great meal.

This place has great fish and chips. The place was very busy with satisfied customers. If you want fish and chips in the prairies this is the place to go. Generous servings and reasonable prices.

Everything was fantastic! It was a late supper with my parents before they go south for the winter and had to catch a 6 am flight. Had my two little girls as well. The service was top notch and efficient as possible. The food was great and when the server noticed my sandwich was a bit burnt while bringing it out she told me another one was on the way. Lobster bisque was full of lobster chunks and the rest of our meal was delicious. Will return with my family again for sure!
