This is by far my favorite Moxie's to visit, ever! The staff are all so energetic and fun. You can tell they're like family to each other and that they all have amazing chemistry with each other. The food is always perfect, and you can tell they strive for consistency with excellent quality. Kennedy is such a joy to see when I come in. She always lights up my day with her sparkling personality. read more

I love Moxies. I am a sexist pig but they are great at hiring waitresses everywhere. This one is no exception! We stopped in just for drinks and had nachos. They were really good, may have nachos more often at Moxies. The service was also very good. If you stay in the Sandman I would say stop by the Moxies for a meal or a drink read more

I honestly enjoy happy hour only because I can't eat large meals so their happy hour options was good enough for me. They offered guacamole and chips, Mediterranean dip, fish tacos, quesadillas, sweet potato fries and dip....all between $4 to $9. I ordered 2 fish tacos because I wasn't particularly that hungry. But it has so many toppings like pineapple, radish, cilantro and red cabbage slaw. The fish was a white fish like haddock or halibut and grilled. It came with hot pepper sauce you can add to your liking. I liked it spicy and even then I can still taste the flavors of all the toppings together. I really enjoyed it and it was just enough for me. It cost almost $9 including taxes. Loving happy hour. read more

We celebrated a family birthday with a large group of 17 (including 6 children). Moxies went way above and beyond to accommodate us in every way possible. The food was great, and our server Joey was AMAZING!!! Truly, one of the best servers we have ever had! read more

I took the two littlest munchkins for lunch here today because I had a gift card to use up. They love the idea of going anywhere to eat out for lunch because it's usually sandwiches at home for us, but today we had tons of errands and I decided to treat them. I picked this Moxie's based on location for us. When we walked in it was quiet(around 11:20 am) and they seated us immediately. The hostess set the kids up with crayons and we ordered drinks. The kids menu was typical and in our price range. Came with drink, entree, side and dessert. I ordered the chicken pesto quesadilla with a side salad. Our food was tasty and quick. Our waitress was on the ball keeping the kids drinks refreshed. I think it's a newer location and it was kept nice and clean. I liked the lighting and I was not made to feel like the kids didn't belong. My only issue is I cannot find the nutritional info online of what I had for tracking purposes, otherwise it was a great dining experience. read more

We had a real adventure at Moxie's this evening. In my humble opinion this restaurant should be totally restaffed. From entrance to exit it was horrible. We were greeted by the pleasant short skirted hostess and seated in a booth in a section with six tables. For some reason the waitress who was attentive to the other five tables declined to attend to us. Instead we were assigned a waiter who proved to be very inattentive - but I put the blame on the full staff. OK details: - no cocktail menu provided - no cutlery provide until after the meal was served - had a martini served in an old fashion glass because they ran out of martini glasses at 8 o'clock on a Saturday night - ran out of stuffed potatoes, but served a mish-mash of mashed and baked potatoes (we could physically separate the two potato types on our plates) - got thirsty waiting for water - wine got served after the meal was eaten - pretty sure that the two different red wines were served to the wrong person - we had to interrupt the waitress to find our waiter to pay. It made an impression on me so that I will never go back to a Moxie's. read more

Decided to come here despite the 3 star reviews, it is 3 star the most. Like all other moxies the lighting is dark, very dark. Ordered potstickers (it doesn't mention on the menu what the pot stickers are filled with, you have to ask), pulled chicken tacos (not worth the price, as the lack flavour and are dry), Penne Toscana (i asked the server to ask the chef to cook it al dente, his reply was that no, we don't cook it al dente, it will come as it comes and that it has been previously overcooked) the pasta was overcooked when it came...cook it less? how hard it is to cook it less. Bathroom... Water all over the floor which was very bad. read more

Pleasant atmosphere. Pretty decent food. We got the buffalo wings and Rustic Italian pizzas, both were good and a perfect amount of nibbles to go with our drinks. Friday night beer special beer was enormous. House wine was nice. Liquor drinks were much to be desired. Ordered a whiskey neat with a ginger back. Whiskey was a two ounce pour. (Was a bartender for years and can eyeball a four ounce pour in pretty much any glass). Ginger ale came in a cute little decanter but no glass. Friend ordered a whiskey sour. She mention it was weak as well though the sour was lovely. Tart and not overly sweet. Service was decent. Our hotel bar was closed so we came over. Would come again but stick to beer and wine. read more

A higher class Hooters, just as tacky but with good food. I do enjoy going to this place because the food is pretty good and it's right next to the Marriott Courtyard which serves microwaved food. However you can't help but feel like a creep going into the place. 99% of the staff are attractive girls wearing low tops and short short skirts. 99% of the patrons are overweight business men who like to stare at ass. Who doesn't? Right? I don't know. It's still creepy. read more

Recently while working at the "Samaritans Purse" outlet we stayed at the Sandman Inn which has a Moxie's connected. The food there was excellent as well as the service by Jesse. IF there was any complaint and this is for the majority of restaurants today is the LOUD obnoxious music....that I am sure the younger generation do not notice. Chef ABIceQueen read more

I've been here twice now and the food has been great both times but the service is extremely slow. We asked for our check and it took 15 minutes for the server to bring it to us and then another 15 minutes for him to come back when we gave Our cards. Drinks took 15 mins and Food took 30 mins to come out. When we told the manager he didn't seem to care. The atmosphere is nice and the food is great, but the service really takes away from the experience. read more

Not a fan of the new overhauled menu, thus the loss of a star, sorry. I was shocked when I came in an noticed several, (at least 10) of their regular menu items were removed, ie the kitsalano sandwich, sesame ginger noodle bowl which was one of my favourites, was no where to be seen, in fact there are no soft noodle dishes on the menu. Also, my favourite app, the bruschetta with warm loaf is gone :( its been replaced with an inferior bruschetta on crisps...boooooo With that we tried the new head chef, Alex Chen's, signature, rigatoni. It was good, it was pasta, it was just meh, nothing I would make a trip out for... and I found it really salty. My husband had the thai coconut barramundi. I personally found it underwhelming, it tasted really light but I did not like the relish, found it really didn't help the delicate fish. The shrimps in that dish also tasted steamed, no WOW, no seasoning, nothing to help the shrimp. Even their seasonal menu didn't bring back one of my favourites, the marsala chicken with seasonal root veg. I was at least hoping to have that, but nope...I noticed A LOT of items which incorporated ham, or bacon on the new holiday menu, I don't eat pork so I can't say I would be excited to try them. Two tarts, a couple of regular menu items, the rigatoni I mentioned earlier and no chicken on the features, what is going on?! Isn't a holiday or feature menu supposed to have new and exciting items that would make you want to try them? And why would you have two regular menu items on the feature menu? It doesn't make sense to me! That said, the pecan macadamia nut tart sounds good, keep up that caliber of innovation and you might win me back. Kudos for trying something new, now please with sugar on top, lets go back to how things once were...Good effort Alex Chen but sorry, this new menu doesn't quite make the cut for me...will probably stick to your lunch steak sandwich (and nut tart) if I did end up going again. read more

Came to Canada for a vacation (from US). Surprisingly Moxie's was very tasty! I got the broccoli cheddar soup and chicken enchiladas and they were so good! Our server was very prompt and quick, there was a slight mistake from the kitchen on one of our friends' food but they were quick to fix it and took care of the price of her meal and added a free salad. Not sure why Moxie's has bad reviews on Yelp though. I like the atmosphere and modern decor. I'd highly recommend. read more

This place is an upscale bar & restaurant chain with an excellent environment to catch the latest sporting event. I sat at the bar and was impressed with the décor. Everything from granite bar tops to embossed leather seats made for a nice environment. You could tell it had a woman's touch. My barkeep, Andrew, tends a hell of a bar. I saw him doing everything from concocting sangria from scratch to keeping an older lady patron happy with a few corny jokes. Their drink list is vast and they have a plethora of drink specials depending on the night for those on a budget. My meal was pretty good. I got the parmesan chicken and prosciutto sandwich, which was really rich and filling. The side sweet potato fries were not good. They were about as soft and lifeless as the kid that gets picked last in dodgeball. Moxie's had a great turnout for a random Monday night. I wouldn't hesitate to come back as the service, environment, and diverse menu made for a nice night out. read more

This Moxie's in in the middle of hotel airport land. It's right behind the Sandman Hotel & across the street from the Hilton Garden Inn which is where I was staying. We had a quick dinner here on a weeknight & the place was pretty busy. I had the spinach salad with champagne soaked strawberries & salmon. It was really good. The others I was with also liked their food. Service was kind of brusque as the waitress was really busy. But the music, the decor & vibe of this place is cool. It was an enjoyable dinner. read more

We were staying at the Sandman for 2 nights and the Moxie's was right at the hotel. We went for drinks and appetizers. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted a table at the restaurant, the lounge, or the patio. We chose the lounge and were seated at a table for two in front of the fireplace. We had some drinks and lettuce wraps. The food and drinks were very tasty and affordable, the lounge had good atmosphere and the servers were friendly and efficient. read more

After a while, these places all start to look the same: Earls, Moxies, Cactus Club, Joey Tomatoes. I think they must have the same interior designers. I'm not saying it's bad but it's just not that original. My friend was staying at the Sandman next door so we popped over for supper tonight. The place was actually fairly busy, perhaps because the hotel was full. I ordered the chicken ranch burger which was quite tasty. My friend had the mango chicken with rice. She said it was good and I'll take her word especially since she had it 2 days ago. The drinks seem a bit small and what I found really strange was that they serve margaritas, daiquiris and most other drinks in tall skinny glasses. It's impossible to stir a slushy drink in one of those glasses. Sorry to be so critical but the glass a drink is served in makes a difference. We decided to share the white chocolate brownie, even though I don't care for white chocolate. It was topped with both ice cream and whipped cream. And I actually thought it was good, not like most white chocolate I've had. More like a white dense cake. The service was pretty good other than our desert seemed to take longer than our entrees. You get what you expect at Moxie's. What more can I say? read more

Food Is always hit and miss, ordered the beet salad without greens, quite a bit of push back but it was excellent Then the beef vindalu , rice was gooey and sauce made it even more so , why not copy japan, rice on one side sauce in a seperate bowl or at least on the other side of the plate so you can blend your own read more

Great food, great atmosphere, extremely friendly and genuine staff. I really enjoy coming here with friends or sitting at the bar by myself chatting occasionally with the bartending staff. read more

Food was very good but the service was excellent! I had the best waitress that I have experienced. She was personable, friendly and very good at her job! She was very busy but still took the time to do a great job and very happy to do it. It made the evening for me. Sometimes that just makes the experience of dining out so much better. Thanks Edina for an excellent dining experience! read more

I've been to many Moxies before, from Ontario to Alberta and all places in between. But this location takes the cake. Our server, Edina, was the literally the best waitress I have ever experienced. I was out with my family (all adults) and we like to banter a bit with the staff at restaurants and she was witty and on top of our game. Food was expectional, serving time was quick and enjoyable. I don't think I will ever have the right words to explain how amazing the visit to the Calgary Moxies really was. The manager even visited our table to see how our visit was. But seriously, go there...ask to be seated in Edina's section and be amazed. She works hard and mutliple jobs and has every reason to be cranky but she is AMAZING! read more

So, moxie's is moxie's, if you've been to one you've been to them all. However, at the location in the sandman inn near the Calgary airport there is a bartender named Garry. Garry is hands down the best bartender I have had in years. Creative, inventive and willing to tweek a cocktail to your individuals taste I recommend coming here to say hi especially if you are travelling and stuck in one of the many hotels near the airport. Normally moxies's gets 3 stars from me, but it was Garry that makes the experience 5 star worthy. read more

Moxies - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Not bad, especially if your staying at a nearby hotel. Average food and average service. Decent sized drink menu, nice atmosphere, small bar top. read more

This week alone, my co-workers and I have been at the restaurant 3 times. The food and service are outstanding. Our waitress (Jasmine) did a wonderful job taking care of our table. I highly recommend the Honey Garlic Sirloin. The Butcher's Cut Steak Sandwich was really good too. read more

Great place for after work drinks!!! Went with my team last Friday for drinks and apps and will be going back again tomorrow!

Love love love. Went there for my moms birthday with 6 adults and my son. GREAT food GREAT staff. We at an appetizer and all got full meals. It was only $125. Great price. I can not express enough how good the food is!!! read more

I visited with a group and ordered fish tacos. I had informed my server that I have a severe tomato allergy and a manager even came out to speak to me about precautions they would take to prevent tomatoes from contacting me food. Then my tacos came with salsa, they professionally handled the situation and very quickly fixed my meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for their kind service and especially for individuals with allergies. read more

Stopped in on Monday for a late breakfast. Hostess was fantastic, as was the food. There were only 2 tables taken in the restaurant at the time we arrived. Waitress only came by twice, and then gave us the bill. She was nice, but basically the hostess helped us, got us more jam, Ketchup, and asked if there was anything else we needed. We were done eating when our waitress appeared with a coffee pot. I could see if it was busy but I couldn't even see her never mind finding her. So a big thank you to the hostess and the chef's as our meal was fantastic. read more

I've never had a bad meal here and I can't complain about the service either. However, Moxie's gets four stars in my book strictly because of their white chocolate brownie. I have joined others in road trips across town to various locations just for this. read more

I almost did not eat here but am I glad I did! The food and the selection of different items on he menu was outstanding. Very friendly staff too! I had the red tai curry bowl and it was great! I will be in Calgary for another week and I guarantee i will be back here. read more

I don't know why anyone eats at any Moxies. I think Calgarians have just become accustomed to the lack of decent restaurants and have accepted the blah, all-the-same food that is typical of all the chain places in town. However, Moxies is the WORST....They have just tried to dress up sub-par food with nicer decor. I have had the misfortune to eat here 3 times in the past year when my group from work goes somewhere to take someone from the group out for lunch. The menu is typical of all the chains in Calgary, but the food itself and portions are terrible. On the previous 2 occasions I had salad... Once the beet salad and the other time the "champagne" strawberry salad. It was like someone threw a SMALL handful of green in a really big bowl and tossed in a few other things. For $13-14 they're making a killing because they were both really small and nothing remarkable. The server who had our table of 12 was all of about 19 but thought it was cute or appropriate to call everyone (male or female) "hon" or "darlin". It just didn't work and she was too clueless to see that most of us either bristled or rolled our eyes at her silly pet names for complete strangers. So today I had the salmon sandwich. Disgusting. I worked as a server for 5 years when I was in university and I would never have brought this plate out to a customer. It was a SMALL (3 oz total) piece of dry salmon on 2 half-moon pieces of flatbread which were then folded over into a triangle, and a tiny saucer of iceberg lettuce greens. Lame. For $13 I could get better and cheaper food from a grocery store deli. In the sandwich was a piece of lettuce, 2 big slices of tomato on each triangle and the tiny piece of dry salmon. Because Moxies is obviously trying to make the sandwich look like more than it is, they put these giant, pale slices of tomato in. The server called us all darling or hon again when she out the food down. But what makes it even worse is that these slimy pieces of tomato completely SOAK the plain flatbread so that when you try to pick it up it all falls apart in your hands and is just soaking wet. Disgusting. I ate the salmon inside and abandoned trying to eat anything else of the sandwich. I picked at the "salad" but it was worse that a cheap salad in a bag kit from the grocery store. When the server came back at the END of the meal to ask everyone how it was, (whats the point? Everyone is finished so you will hardly have time to order something else) and I told her it was terrible, a soggy mess. She looked at my full plate and just said "oh, sorry about that". No more "darling" though. I felt I had to go along with the group and not cause everyone to have to change restaurants but I can say I will NEVER go to Moxies again. It's BAD food, WAY overpriced, and is basically anything you could make at home with a bunch of pre-made sauces. The server was capable but so annoying with the little pet names that just didn't go over. I don't know why anyone would CHOOSE to eat there. The staff should be embarrassed at what they have to put out in front of customers. Never again. read more

Food was good, however, service sucks. Especially the front desk girl with skimpy dress was very snobbish.

I've eaten here probably Ten times and the service is a little spotty, some good some bad. The menu is good and the prices are to be expected considering the type of restaurant. I gave only 3 stars because I had breakfast here once and it was horrible. But it's a 3 or 4 restaurant depending on the server and what you choose. Best thing on the menu is the tuna sushi! I wouldn't come here for breakfast again! read more

Went while staying nearby. Read the reviews and agreed with a previous reviewer saying give it a try. We couldn't have been more satisfied. Our servers name was Derek. He was fantastic. Had the Caesar salad and a Loaded Burger. Both excellent! The manager even stopped by the table to see if he could do anything to make it better. We left impressed with the food and service. So impressed that we stopped back two nights later. Unfortunately totally different experience. Our server was a letdown. She seemed uninterested and not around much. Getting iced tea and a beer took forever. The club sandwich was just okay. The beef dip sandwich was just barely warm and the meat was a small portion and undercooked for my taste. I think the pretzel bun gave it a weird taste too. We accepted that the server makes all the difference. Unfortunately she really disappeared at the end and left us standing out in the lobby trying to track her down to get the bill and get out of there! My advice, check it out but try to have Derek for your server. And if you get a cute girl with incredible eyelashes...switch tables! So five stars plus one dived by two equals three! read more

This Moxies location has been an annual gathering spot for me when I visit Calgary on business and its been consistently going downhill year after year in terms of service and food. I noticed a similar trend at their Vancouver location on Robson that is now closed. During a late lunch visit, I had to wait just under 5 minutes to get a hostess to greet us and the general feeling I got from the staff was they just didn't want to be there. They used to be on par with other mid level chains but they have really fallen hard. The food was mediocre at best with uncooked rice in my Teriyaki Rice Bowl and it didn't taste fresh. We also had a nightcap in their lounge which has a good decor and lots of tv's to watch the game but once again the service was incredibly bad. The server plopped menus on our table and walked away without even saying hello and the rest of our interactions were once again, as if we're doing her a favour by being there. This is my first bad review on Yelp but I was so taken aback by the poor service that I had to comment on it. read more

Barlow location. Great and eclectic menu choices. The salad was plentiful and I tried the vinaigrette and chipotle ranch -- both great! Main was the vindaloo with chicken instead of beef -- Excellent! The real prize her however, was the staff. Very friendly and professional. The star was Edina! She went out of her way to accommodate me and was extremely friendly, efficient, and attentive. She's a keeper, for sure! read more

Great food, the blackened burger was good. The beer super great. The only thing I was disappointed in was they gave my kids juice in a glass cup. Think God she did not break it. read more

We tried Moxies two times , fist time was great, Service , food , and drinks . Second time had a kale quinoa salad, very fresh , not overly dressed, poke bowl , was great with seaweed chips & dressings really made the dish, then the calamari was the best I ever had, nice meaty pieces, breaded perfectly, not greasy or chewy, again best calamari , would recommend. They are under some remodeling, but inside is nice, Service is great. read more

Well, as usual when alone and travelling, I ate at the bar. It was across the street from my hotel, but because I'm from the (American) southeast, and I hate the cold, and it was cold, I took a cab who happened to be sitting outside the hotel when I came outside. And went across the street. Cost me $4 to not have to spend 30 minutes warming up. Took a cab back too - had the hostess ring me one. It started snowing during dinner. That's just not ok. At any rate - down to business. They have a good selection bourbon, which is always a plus for me. Drink prices are a little less than downtown - bartender was great. He hates the cold too and perfectly understood. Had the potstickers. Meh. Good but not great. Ordered a new york strip. Now here's where I was a little surprised - that thing was fantastic! Cooked well, good cut of beef, nice char, real nice piece of meat. I really enjoyed it. Had, I believe, baby reds alongside - also quite nice. So if you're sitting at either of the airport Marriott's and thinking to yourself that you just don't want to go downtown, but want a decent meal and good service, walk across the street. Or cab it if it's cold. read more

I don't know what all the negative reviews are about I am a huge fan of this moxies location. The service is always consistent, friendly and helpful. The food is always amazing I have never had a less than great meal at this specific location. My boyfriend and I went there for valentines dinner last night and the food was on point. The place was packed and still under all the pressure the staff really outdid themselves from the hostess to the server to the manager who came to make sure everything was tasting good. I will always recommend this location as it is always amazing! read more
