Moxie's Grill & Bar Reviews

Food is always underwhelming, service is so so. Not worth the $20-35 for a meal.

The immigrants in the back don't know how to cook.

Terrible service too, I saw a table leave waiting to be served.

I was there with friends this weekend and we had a bad experience. 4 of my friends got sick after eating. The service was horrible, we have to ask 5 times if we need something, the server was confused, mixed our orders. The kitchen chef was playing with balls and there is possibility of food contamination.

Food is too salty. Menu options looks good, but can be deceiving.

Ordered a white chocolate BROWNIE, expecting to be treated to a BROWN dessert, instead I was faced with a pale, eggshell-white, CAKE that they dared call a BROWNIE. I've never been so embarrassed in front of my kids before. My wife even contemplated leaving me after our dessert wasn't BROWN. Other than that it was pretty damn delicious. The only good thing on the menu.

Very friendly staff and super tasty food! Also cheap drinks during the happy hour!

Nice and clean. Service was good. Fries are the best. Great food.

I hate giving low star reviews but my biggest pet peeve "do you want some change?"
"Please give me my change and I'll decide what to tip thanks very much"
It seriously takes away the feeling of giving you a gift. At the end of the day a tip is a gift, it doesn't matter what the culture is and it doesn't matter if they tip out it's still a gift. I think the gm of this moxies will agree with me in saying "I'll be right back with your change."

Nice hotel bar, good food, reasonably priced dronks

The first impression was good - a friendly welcome.

Our waitress was not so focused - she didnt bring us a wather.

The prices seems for me fair.

The atmosphere is allright.

The food was good. - pretty allright place to be.

Nice server and great taste of food regardless of the long wait

Overpriced, small portions, sub par Alfredo. $16 for this much.

Never been there before. It seemed McDonald's was the better. By far I was wrong.

Do not have steak At this place. First of all they do not know how to cook a steak properly and the quality is terrible.

ordered a water that never came then had to reorder it 45 minutes later. waitresses were friendly tho.

please never get rid of the beef vindaloo and bring back the med bread. those are the best things !!

Went here with a friend for my birthday and the food was good. The service was a little bit slow but overall good service

Great atmosphere but very slow service. I like this place but the staff need to be more "on the ball".

A great place to have lunch and what you typically expect from these types of restaurants.

Had the miso ramen with pork belly and would suggest sticking with their other items on the menu. Ramen noodles tasted like instant noodles

It was beautiful. Nice waiters, nice dishes and nice lighting for pictures most especially.

I only go to Moxie's on Mondays. Why you might ask? Wing night after 4pm. It is only $0.29/wing so you'd only pay less than $10 after tax and tips for 30 wings! I usually order 50 wings, eat half and take the rest home for another day, the wings usually heat up alright.

I had the steak and it was cooked how I like it. Our server seemed to cope well with our table of 13. The place was busy and had a nice vibe to it for a lunchtime.

This place is quite decent. Near to c-train. Have a fairly number of choices. Have some tasty low carb choices. Portions are medium, which suits me or whoever works downtown sitting in an office all day long. I think I like this place.

I love it here! One of the best restaurants and bars downtown.

Michelle was great behind the Bar.

Great spot for a chill late night brew.

Matt was also a great host... see u guys next time

Came down to the moxies lounge for a quick bite and a glass of wine. Emily s prompt service was fantastic and the loaded burger came out just right. Thanks, Moxies!!!

Our soccer team was looking for a good meal before heading out to enjoy Calgary's night life on Friday night, so we decided to go the Moxie's restaurant in the hotel we where staying. The waitress came very quickly to take our drinks and food order the manager even came out to make sure everything was okay, but after that the service want downhill fast. Half of use got our food while the other half had to wait 3 hours for our food, and when the food did come out it was cold. Even our drinks started not showing up. We found out later that they had one waitress for the whole restaurant.

It's a pretty nice place with some good vibes, but everything is pretty pricey outside of happy hour.

Awesome place. Thanks to the team.koodos to master chef Ashish!!!.Very sharp ,professional and Handsome

Great food, coffee and atmosphere. I can't wait to have them reopen at the end of this month.

Amazing service from EVERYONE! Was on crutches & unable to get around well, especially yo the UPSTAIRS washroom and the staff was so accommodating and sweet! Highly recommend this location!

Yummy food, very lovely staff....hotel bar but atmosphere improving with the new decor:)

Crappy service - skinny blond waitress looked like she was hung over. Waited 15 min to be seated in a restaurant that only was 20 % full.
Than it took 25 min for a simple Eggs Benedict dish. No offer for a re-top up of coffee. The Benedict sauce at least tasted nice!

The service was exceptional and the food hit the spot. After a day of walking around it was good to have a nice place to eat at. I had the arctic char, it was excellent. And I especially liked how our waitress made small talk with us and recommends something good. I know I ll be back again.

Terrible service 20 mins to get my beer still waiting

I'm a person that requires comfort food when I travel and Moxie's has some terrific buffalo wings. The service is really nice with personable staff. I really enjoy a quick meal here when I visit Calgary.

Some of their staff are racist. We were a group of Asian tourists who were staying at the Sandman Hotel in Calgary. At breakfast we went downstairs at the Moxie's Restaurant, which is just on the ground floor of the hotel. We observed that the staff are rude to us Asians and were nice to other Caucasian guests. They were giving us attitude and very bad service. If you are staying in Sandman Hotel, Calgary, avoid dining in the ground floor restaurant, which is the Moxie's.

Great place to chill out with friends in downtown. Awesome dining & drinks menu with sports bar to unwind & relax. Tip - There is ample parking available in basement. Beware don't forget to lock your car - we didn't and our laptop was stolen from back of the seat :(

One of the top 10 burgers I've had and the drinks were good too.

Friendly greeting by the hostess! Location has a unique seating environment, ideal for lunch and/or dinner casual work meetings with clients and colleagues alike.

Do not come here unless you are wearing something super expensive and fancy, or else you will be judged by the waiters and waitresses. The person greeting us was so incredibly rude and and kept glancing me and my groups way nervously for whatever reason. It felt so uncomfortable while we ate.

Excellent staff and very accommodating for parties.

Foods ok. Don't expect much from the bartender. Bartender has no skill.

I came in here friday night with a couple friends to watch the Flames game before going out downtown for my birthday. I didnt get the girls name that we dealt with but she was super accomodating and even got me a couple free drinks for my birthday which was definitely more than what any other place has done (usually places dont offer anything).
I didnt get food but my friends did and it looked very appetizing and they said it was good.
The drinks were quite tasty and they have fresh pressed hard lemonade which was fantastic.
Its rare I feel a place deserves 5 stars because Calgary is notorious for poor service and/or food but this location was fantastic

Food is great here but the service is not. There does not appear to be any urgency is greeting you, or getting you a drink, when you are first seated. Servers will look at you, walk by you, without ever acknowledging you. This is while the place is not busy. Not the place to go for a quick drink/bite . If time is no concern, the food is great. The lack of speedy service is why I giving this a 3 star.

Nothing special... my server was so disengaged. Bill was well over 200 for 2 people at the. Day that I went in the place was very cold temperature wise and service wise. Would not be back.

Food was delicious aside from the hair in the pasta, by the time the replacement came out I was done my main course. The service was extremely slow waited 20 minutes and paid $11 for a grilled cheese. Brought out garlic bread after the pasta was already finished. Waited 10 minutes for our drinks. Food was incredible but the service ruined the experience.
P.S the white chocolate brownie was incredible.

This store is very dirty . Flies all over the store and found one in our meal.

The trout, or the fish? that is the question. The Shakespearian ambiance of the lobby made me think of Rome in Autumn. The waitress who greeted me, smiled with the light of a thousand Twinkling Bald muskrats. As for the food... Atrocious, i asked for the scallops and she gave me a greek salad with fried Yoda choda that she claimed was avocado. I hate pickled onions so i didn't order them. If you like steak, you've come to the right place. They bring out a live cow and slaughter it in front of you're pigged eyes. Woop Wooop. gooooooo moxies.....

Ordered large take out order and commented on an issue in response to their feedback card they provide. No reply provided. Ordered ribs twice and they are dry and poorly prepared. I do not recommend this location as they do not care about customer service and quality is poor.

beer lines were frozen all the upgrades and this is a issue

Went in what we believe was the entrance. Nobody was there to greet us. A server/moxies worker pass by without making eye contact and just ignored us while we wait to be seated? Waited there for a few minutes, confuse if maybe we should just help ourself grab a seat. But i dont think moxies work that way? Or its just the bar open at 4pm on a friday. Idk i love moxies but not coming back this branch. We went to old spaghetti factory instead and had a great time.

The waiter was super funny, polite, and all in all super enjoyable, along with the amazing food it's a solid 5 stars from me

I live across the street, so I'm glad it's always quick, easy, and delicious.

Good food but long wait. Nice ambiance and friendly customer service.

I came in a group of 16 for lunch. The staff was great and service was super fast- In and out in an hour.

Server was awesome had great suggestions and quick. Even fun and easy to talk with, food was great presentation was spot on. Even during Reno s was a decent good crowd. Well done.

Service is quick, food is high quality. Ambiance is great.

We preordered their Mother s Day brunch. The staff here was incredibly friendly. The food came out hot, and delicious. They made our social distance brunch a breeze.

My son and daughter-in-law picked up Mother's Day Brunch from this location and brought it over on Sunday and I just had to leave a review. It was wonderful! They very kindly split the order in two so that we didn't have to share food (pandemic distancing). There was a lot of food; we will get three meals out of it. And everything was delicious. You could tell it was freshly prepared. When our son got there, they had to wait about four minutes while they finished the order off, so you know it hadn't been prepared hours before. There was everything from sweet (fresh fruit, pain au chocolate, French toast) to savoury (gourmet sausages, hash browns, the most delicious quiches). All of the extras were included (ketchup, hollandaise sauce, a warm syrup with berries). Plus I got an adorable little bottle of Prosecco & oj. I was also impressed with the packaging. No styrofoam or plastic bags in site. The food came in really good plastic containers that I can use over and over again and it all came in nice paper bags with handles that can be re-used. We were very impressed. Well-done Moxies and thank you for a lovely Mother's Day brunch during this strange time in our history.

Great customer service, highly recommend this location! We had been told by the manager that one of our dishes had been dropped on the ground and that we might have to wait another 15 minutes and offered us free desert for the troubles. Great experience!

Expensive. Took a while to get servers attention in a completely dead restaurant. Food was decent if I was paying 30% less.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. LOVE their 1/2 price wine bottle Wednesdays, fantastic variety of wines

I have been to this Moxies a few times and havent been overly impressed, however, this time I had an OUTSTANDING server named Raven. She seriously made the experience so much better! I recommend asking for her section!

I went to the Market Mall Moxie's and Im not sure if this is standard for all Moxies, the Servers did not have their hair tied back. If your hair is shorter I get it...But one of the servers had hair that was down the middle of her back. Every time she went to a table to clear she had to grab her hair to hold it out of the way. She brought over my fathers burger and her hair touched his fries...This is absolutely disgusting and Im pretty sure it is against health regulations. I am not sure why these restaurants get away with this. Not to mention wearing high heels to work a full shift in...Its dangerous and not good for their feet...Can someone explain to me the reasoning? I have been in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years and find this appalling.

Kind Regards,

As far as Moxie's goes there are better locations out there for sure.
