Joey's Italian Grill

Came up for a family reunion and stopped in with my dad, uncle and cousin for some dinner the night before. I've been waiting tables/bartending for 11 years, and I can honestly say I had the best experience as a customer I've had yet. HUGE shoutout to Mackenzie (sorry if I spelled it wrong) for the superior service. I had fun holding up Danny Devito for you!! The food was excellent, huge portions, especially the fried pickles and endless garlic knots. I had the Big Italian calzone (the one with the pepperoncinis). Could not recommend Joey's any higher. Well done, and thank you for the laughs Mackenzie!!

Found ourselves in Chardon and wanted dinner. Saw the positive reviews and decided to try Joey's. Not disappointed. On a Tuesday night they had a fair number of people eating. Families and couples. Nice looking place. Good size and nicely decorated. Lots of parking in the plaza. We sat and ordered some drinks and dinner. The server brought us 4 garlic knots right out of the oven. My partner had the appetizer meatballs and a side of fries. The meatballs were kinda small. I thought they'd be larger. You get 3 to an order. It's a good thing she got a side. They were a little cold she said. She likes her food piping hot. These were not that hot. But she said they tasted ok. I got the 6 hand breaded chicken tenders with fries and slaw. The chicken tenders were a decent size. Fries were seasoned, and the slaw tasted homemade. They were good. BBQ sauce tasted like bottled nothing special. Good portion. Definitely worth it. Server was good and fairly attentive. Dinner cost us about $30. Seems kinda high for nothing to drink except soda. But that's our world now. Higher prices all around. I'd go back and try something else. Pizza looked good.

First time visit here. Nice open spacing in bar/dining area as well as enclosed patio. Good balance of booths, table tops, and high tops;as well as bar seating. Wife had the chicken bruschetta pasta and loved it. Great flavor and fresh ingredients. I had the sausage and pepper pasta. It was ok. I think they forget the roasted red peppers on mine and the banana peppers seemed jarred. The sausage was very good. Both pasta dishes were served piping hot and big portions. Cheese pizza was very good. Friendly and clean place. Will be back to try some other items.

I seriously do not understand the appeal of this place and why it is so packed always. Food is just meh. Nothing special at. To be honest the pasta sauce was actually bland as well. Not what I was expecting or hoping for.

One of the best local restaurants, never had a bad meal here! We dine in and get take out all the time. The garlic knots they bring in the beginning are to die for and each and every dish is great! Last night, I got a chicken quesadilla and it tasted fresh and was cooked perfectly. The servers are friendly and they have a great happy hour. Very reasonable pricing and large portions of everything!

I love the ladies here, they are also very friendly and the service is quick. I appreciate them always catering to the large groups our family brings for gatherings and birthdays. Thank you for your kind smile and patience.

Little slow getting seated!! Penne Pasta with sausage was good!!! Rajan Cajun Chicken Sandwich also good!! Laura was good server,kept up with refills & bread!! Nice decor with television's!!! Pizzas are also good!!!

Bad service, wrong food. Ordered the California veggie calzone. The waitress delivered a pizza. She took it back and delivered me somebody else's meatball calzone. She took it that back and came back with the pizza I had just sent back asking me if I wanted it. I told her that nobody at my house would eat it. We didn't see her again for 45 minutes when she told me that they were making my calzone. I told her never mind that we would just take the check for my husband's meal. 30 minutes later she brings me a calzone in a to go box. It was still wrong. We left it there.

Amazing service! This lovely lady named Cheyenne served us and she was so kind and respectful! She was made me feel so welcomed and comfortable.. definitely coming here again

My daughter-in-law called Joey's at 4:30pm 2/25/24 to let them know we would be coming in at 5:30pm with a party of 11. When my husband and I arrived first, we were seated at one of two tables for our party. I asked if we could have the tables pushed together and was told no. I have been in there when they have pushed the tables together for large parties. I could understand if we just walked in and there wasn't the area to do this but we called ahead. The space should have been prepared for us. Then I pulled out my Joey's Fund Raiser card I bought years ago and never had the opportunity where I would need two or three large pizzas at a time. The card had no expiration date and I was told they don't take them anymore. I was getting a little upset and said if it was up to me, I would leave but it wasn't my call. The hostess asked if I wanted to talk to the manager and I said yes. He was unsympathetic to my concerns. He asked if he could do something to make it right and I said free dinners for the table. He said no and gave no counter offer and none was given. The rest of the party arrived and of course we were split up. They gave us kid's menus and no crayons. My granddaughter who is eight years old wanted a hamburger. There was no kid's hamburger on the kid's menu. The only burger on the menu was a Smash Burger (two patties) for $14. She didn't even eat half.Two stars for the food and service. The food was good and the waitress, Diane, went above and beyond. She knew I was upset and tried her best to salvage the evening. I will not return.
