What I Thought of It

Joey’s Only Seafood, Motel Village

Joey’s Only Seafood Restaurant in Motel Village is nicely situated next to the pedestrian overpass from McMahon Stadium and just meters away from the Banff Trail CTrain Station.

The interior has a pleasant ambiance. It is a small space that manages to contain a good number of tables, and there’s a large aquarium in the center for your viewing pleasure.

Service at this Joey’s is always a bit rushed and not too friendly, but the staff do what they’re supposed to do, which is enough for me.

I have no complaints about the food. Joey’s Seafood has some of the best fish & chips - crispy, not too greasy, just enough batter. Go for the two-piece meal, because I can’t imagine anyone being able to finish three pieces of fish. Joey’s also has the best tartar sauce, which is supplied in a big squirt bottle at each table.

On Tuesdays Joey’s has all-you-can-eat fish & chips for $9.99, so if you’re famished you can fill up on tasty fish and fries for a bargain.

Sometimes Joey’s offers a fish-&-chips platter with one piece each of pollock, haddock, and halibut, so that you can decide which one you like best. In my experience, all three are delicious.

If you’d like a departure from regular potato fries, you can subsitute sweet potato fries. Joey’s does them very well - hot and crisp - and serves them with a lime mayonnaise dip. Joey’s sweet potato fries are so good, I could live on them.

Last thoughts: Joey’s is one of my favorite restaurants, and I’ve yet to have a bad experience in the times I’ve frequented Joey’s. It’s a cozy, affordable place for fish & chips and other seafood.

I like to visit Joey’s, and today I brought a friend to the one in Bragg Creek.

The serving staff were nice and got us seated at the table of our choice in no time. The decor of this Joey’s Seafood Restaurant was cute, with fish all over the place and even barriers between the tables that were shaped like fish.

The menu was not usual full Joey’s menu. It was kind of limited, but the important thing was that it still had their famous Fish and Chips.

The food was good, as always, and the portions were some of the biggest I’ve had at any Joey’s. Even better, they offered unlimited fries.

Last thoughts: There aren’t many food places in Bragg Creek, so Joey’s is a natural option. It is easy to find and has a great ambiance.
