Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill

We travelled here from out of town for a hockey tournament. We were excited to see how organized they were when they instructed us to pre-order food for the kids to minimize in-store chaos. Or so we thought.. Food still took more than an hour to arrive and my server forgot about even taking my order for more than 60 minutes. I didn’t eat. A member of our group had to go get cutlery for the table, everything was crazy slow, and there were zero table checks to see how people were making out. I’ll find some food on the drive back to the hotel, I guess. The experience was so bad that I need to find an alternate before heading home! That pretty much sums it up. And it is NOT due to the restaurant being busy.

First time at Shoeless Joe's. Plate of fish and chips was not worth the 18.99. Portion of fish was tiny and burnt. It should be golden brown not chocolate brown. Fries were okay. Coleslaw felt like it was bagged. Pop it in a blender to chop it up more or make it more creamier. Not overly attentive staff. Food repeated on me later. Not a good sign. Sorry, I just can't recommend this place.

Food only looks good, tastes pathetic. Serves half cook food, server was nice though. Disappointed and dissatisfied with everything. The only thing that we really enjoyed was Sangria!

Went on a Friday at lunch- only 1 server on staff. Owner/Manager hosting and nothing else. Food was absolutely sub-par… Buffalo Cauliflower soggy and inedible, Buttermilk Chicken sandwich was a flattened quarter chicken breast about 1 oz of meat on a bun with sauce and some pickles?!? Burger was so dry. Last time we ever come here- the owner/manager clearly does not care about his customers or his staff. This location with it’s ambiance, massive 4 screen TV and huge patio rare for Brantford has so much potential, but the uncaring and lazy owner/manager is driving it into the ground. I will be surprised if this location stays open much longer. Shoeless Joe’s corporate needs to get involved before this location damages the brand further.

We have been to this place a couple times. Service is good and food is delicious especially the new limited time offerings. We really liked them and hope the management will keep them on the menu. The restaurant is very clean with TVs all around and also at the booths. There is ample parking. Again, very much liked the atmosphere and the quality of food and the service.

We gave this place a few tries and won't be again. It was dead tonight - three or four tables including ours and 5 people at the bar. Our food came ice cold, never had any sauce...on the Buffalo chicken wrap... And we waited over 20 minutes for anyone to ask if we wanted the bill despite making eye contact and standing with our costs on. Definitely not worth the money, let alone the long wait for food or service.

Great dining experience from walking in the door, being greeted, seated, order taken and served. Don't have to wait a bit. Service and management was highly professional. Nice atmosphere with TVs all around. Meal was served hot and tasted excellent.

It's simply not a 5 star restaurant and in terms of stars it's probably not even a 4 in the grand scheme of things but will I go back, Yes. Was it good food? Yes. Was it cold beer? Yes. The atmosphere is "road house" and on par with its direct competitors. If you want good food, a good menu variety and a good Atmosphere then yes, definitely go.

The atmosphere is nice, clean, and pretty however food has no seasoning, and my mashed potatoes came cold, charging $20 for chicken ham Swiss and not tasting swiss or the bacon in the middle is kinda sad. Maybe an off day but will not order the chicken again.Food: 2/5

Quality of food was pretty bad. Ordered nachos for the table with chicken, and cobb salad with grilled chicken on it. The chicken was so overcooked and dry, it was barely edible. I left over half of the chicken for the salad which I paid extra to add to that salad and when I told the server about the quality, she barely acknowledged the complaint and did absolutely nothing to resolve it. I was still charged full price. Table checks were slow. We waited 20 mins after our dishes were removed to have our checks delivered to the table.
