6 of us went out for my Daughters birthday. It's my first time here. Don't hesitate, just go. We had a variety of meals and a few apps. The portions are huge. The food was delicious. Very helpful waitstaff. The garlic bread is amazing. It's more like focacha. It was very crispy outside a softer garlic middle topped with small but perfect amount of crispy cheese. It disappeared from the plate fast. The sweet potato wedges were good. The outside was sweat with a kind of nutty taste soft and perfect inside. The calamari was excellent. A few to many pepers in it for my taste. Meals were all very good. Fettuccine Carbonara was filled with bacon, flavourful, and filling. Fettuccine Alfredo was very creamy and delicious. Pasta marinara and penne with vodka sauce were simply amazing and reminded me of my time in Italy. The salmon in lemon butter sauce was cooked to perfection. The Rissoto was very creamy and offset the broccoli on a bed of garlic. My husband had the chicken piccata with a side of broccoli and rissoto. The app of wings that my youngest had for her meal were cooked well and tossed in a barbecue sauce. My daughter demolished them. All in all, it's an amazing meal. We had a few cocktails as well. I had the Elderberry gin fizz. WOW! The Elderberry flavor was strong yet balanced perfectly. Two of my daughters had cocktails as well. They both found them well balanced and flavorful without being too strong. I highly recommend going to try it out yourselves. It was not just dinner. It was an experience. Our bill was approximately 250$. But divided by six people with app salad meals and drinks, it was reasonable. They have an online menu. We waited about 10 minutes inside the large foyer for a table. ( it was pouring rain out) Plenty of parking. The lot in front of Joey's is somewhat difficult to navigate, so we parked directly beside it in the very large mall parking lot.

Although the food was great, this review is concerning customer service. I have 2 children, and 1 has issues that are easily solved if she is engaged with something to keep her mind occupied. When we arrived, I asked our server for the guest wifi password. He told me that he would get back to me soon. The restaurant wasn't extremely busy, so i'm thinking that he would return with it shortly. When he did return, I asked again. I would guess at this point that a short chat with another coworker would gotten the answer. He left and returned with our drinks without any response to our question. I went to the hostess and asked for the password. They told me what it was, but this didn't work. I went to the bartender to grab the password, but the bartender was gone. After a short time, the waiter returned, and i told him that i had gotten the password, but it was wrong. He responded with the acknowledgement that it was wrong and left. From there, i simply gave up. So... the food was good and worth the stop, the cost was reasonable and well worth what we had, the customer service was just not there at all. This would go a long way. 1 full minute of time from our waiter would have changed my child's experience tremendously. She doesn't like the place as much as we do, and that really plays a part in picking a restaurant.

We had a good experience coming to this Joey’s Garlic location. Service was great the staff is very nice and welcoming. We started off with their new Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and they did not disappoint they were delicious my husband and I devoured them! Then came our salads which were also fresh and delicious! Now For our main course we were a little disappointed I picked the chicken parm and I did not like it the sauce was way too sweet in my opinion and not much flavor, the portions are huge which is nice you get to take some home but I was disappointed with the flavor! My husband picked another plate with crusted pork I believe I don’t remember the name and he said it didn’t even taste like pork he thought it was chicken so he was disappointed as well. Finally we tried the Italian ricotta donuts and those are delish def. Must try! I’m not sure if we will come back because we were not impressed by our dinners, appetizers and desserts are not something that will bring me back, but I hear the pizza is good so maybe in the future!

Yum! Tip: Wear elastic pants : ) The menu has SO many fabulous choices, you'll want to get one of everything! We went for pizza and beers, so we had our mind set. (They sell beer by the bottle or pitchers). But, we have to go back for the ginormous grinders and then another visit for the meals. We looked at other tables orders and everything is large portions. You'll leave with a doggie bag, for sure. The prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you receive. Parking is plentiful and a separate section for pick up orders. Just pull into your spot, and they'll happily bring your order right to your car. The dining room and barroom have plenty of seating, in a comfortable yet classy environment. The servers are excellent and attentive. We've driven by numerous times and finally decided to stop in. It definitely won't be the last. The hardest part will be deciding what you'll want to order! Luckily for us, we already knew what we wanted, otherwise we'd still be there deciding 😉

This was the best pizza we have had since moving to CT, their gluten free pizza was especially great!! We came here to celebrate my birthday week. The restaurant was really spacious with big comfy booths/tables so you didn’t feel crammed next to strangers The service was really quick, but the food was super high quality and tasted delicious. Our server Kim did such a fantastic job, she even brought a separate little dish of ice cream for my wife since none of their on-menu desserts were gluten free that way I could have a lava cake but my wife could safely have dessert with me! And she even brought it out with a candle so that I could make a wish, truly a very thoughtful gesture and was so appreciated by us. We will absolutely be back here at Joey Garlic’s again!
