Uncle Joe’s Family Restaurant

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a while. I went to this place recently and they have completely upgraded. It seems the new cook is amazing and makes great food. I have been multiple times now and have to say I love the environment, and the food is delicious.

Short Review: Do yourself a favour and avoid this place. It was the worst "steak" I've had in my life. Long review: Came here on a Friday night, we should have known it was going to be terrible by the fact that there was only 1 other person eating there. I ordered the Angus steak and I asked for it to be cooked rare. Please look at my picture, does that look anything like an 8oz Angus? This steak was cooked all the way through and it was completely well done and it was basically a dry thin slice of cardboard. It's also weird when the servers are just standing there staring at you while you eat. After letting them know my steak was fully well done and even showing them, they insisted that they're just following the temperature while cooking it. I was offered some desserts as a "compensation" but if your food is like this, I'm pretty sure the dessert will also not be great. I took about 2 bites of my steak and my dog is about to eat the rest of this. If you guys are looking for steak, have some self-respect and actually just go somewhere else. I can't speak for the other food items on the menu but holy am I disappointed. This place used to be good and one of the go to places for my family but this place has just become terrible. Tldr; This place is bad, like really really bad.

Not the same Uncle Joe from 4-5 years ago. Maybe they changed ownership. Maybe didn’t survive the pandemic?!? 1. Cheap steak beef; like really cheap 2. Portions are very small; not worth the price 3. Steak no longer served on hot iron plate 4. Flies flying everywhere even during winter!!!!!! (How clean would the place be?) 5. Steak didn’t taste good Don’t be fooled, don’t go to this place. It’s too bad, I used to love this place since 10+ years ago.

I truly enjoy the beautiful and classic decorations along with the relaxing ambience. This peacful place provides comfort and coziness. Not to mention about the scrumptious food and great service!

As usual. They offer the best service. Mandy the owner is so friendly. The Benedict is great. The Braised Pork Knuckle/hock is well cooked. French onion soup is great. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Our church has a luncheon at here with very quiet room for fellowship.

Cannot believe this is the first time I am trying this place when it has opened for like 20years. The decor is a typical cafe/diner style, nothing fancy but clean and tidy. The service is friendly and attentive as well.. I would recommend to get their grill dish, the steak, lamb dish that came from the grill are perfectly cooked with a nice char but not burnt and yet juicy! I really enjoyed the steak dinner there tonight. I definitely would go again! Forgot to mention, they have onion soup too.. it won’t be the best you have tried but for $6, it’s worth it in my opinion.

I’ve gotten the lamb leg dinner here multiple times as take-out (which is 5/5, I highly recommend). But tonight is the first time I’ve actually sat at the restaurant for eat-in. Great, friendly service and great food portions. Fries are crispy and not soft like many restaurants or diners I’ve been to. Grilled veggies are great and you know what I think I like the most? Their soup that comes with the dinner. Uncle Joe’s has been around for a long time and you can tell that by the decor, but what surprises me is how clean everything. You can tell the owners really put a lot of effort into caring for the establishment. I will continue to order the lamb leg dinner, but I’m pretty sure my family will be coming here for eat-in dinner more regularly as well.

Pretty good food!! Don’t be deceived by the fact that it’s Chinese owned. The food was great comfort food and the service was spot on. The portions were huge and for the amount of food you receive, I think the price is quite acceptable (you see it being pricey in the beginning until the food arrives). We had the lamb special order, which is shareable for 5 people and it was enough and I can eat quite a bit. Topped my appetite off by tasting some of my family’s food and just the right amount of fullness. My wife had the salmon and scallops and the scallops seemed a little dry and tough, but the salmon was delicious. Kids had the pasta and they loved it. Good job and awesome service!! Place did seem a bit outdated and could use an update, but it kinda matched the comfort food feel and did not take away from our experience. Parking can be a little cumbersome if you don’t come early and you would have to park in the back and walk around, which isn’t nice when raining.
