Three words: Sweet potato fries. Seriously, I don't know how they do it, but this place has some of the best sweet potato fries I've ever had! Just the right thickness, the have a very thin, crispy outside that nearly shatters when you bite. Inside it's all soft, sweet, starchy goodness. They're light and greaseless and perfectly fried. I know, I know, sweet potato fries are always good, right? Sure, but Moxie's somehow raises them to a new level. The menu is what you'd expect from a fancier bar-and-grill/gastropub kind of place, but everything we've had from it has been good. Great burgers and the almond-crusted salmon comes with a delicious lemon and leek cream sauce. Prices are quite reasonable for what you get, and the service is very friendly and attentive. The space is sort of cavernous, and the tables at the booths are inexplicably high (or are the benches inexplicably low? I can't tell!) But don't worry, as long as you order the sweet potato fries, you'll be so happy and distracted, you won't even notice that the table is practically at your chin :) read more

Love this place! They have nightly drink specials & amazing desserts. The entrees are great, too. Some of our colleagues weren't as impressed, but we loved it. The second visit the service left a lot to be desired as they were VERY slow to wait on us. Funny thing is it was the same waitress both times.! read more

Moxies Calgary Downtown Restaurant - Banana Cheesecake Xenga - Canadian (New) Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Not a lot can be said about Moxie's that hasn't been said before. Pretty standard "upscale urban hipster-casual" is what I'd call this place. Not super fancy, but just fancy enough. Prices are a bit high, but I suspect because they are attached to the hotel upstairs they get away with it. I paid $18 for a Cob salad that was actually a "wedge salad". They just cut half a head of iceburg lettuce and piled some stuff on top. It's not that it wasn't good, but it wasn't great - and the size was not an entree. It was a starter at best. I ended up eating again when I got home. =( Drinks are great when they are on special, but expensive when they are not. I've been back since and they made my "Old Fashioned" with lemon instead of orange and served it in a Martini glass. When I asked what was up I got a terse "that's just how we do it now". huh. Points lots. My wife's Singapore Sling was made as a frozen cocktail and didn't taste like a SS. Service is good, but somewhat slow for the amount of people that are ever in this joint. I've been on a few different occasions and I never see any more than about 20 people dining at once. There are far better places to go for food, but if it's in your budget and it's close it'll fill the void in your belly. read more

This location ignored us for over 20 minutes, and only came to take our order when we went to go get a server. Parking is a joke, and we were all left with a dissatisfied feeling with the chain. Update... It has now been 2 weeks, and management has yet to address our concerns. I highly recommend avoiding this location. read more

Had a great dinner! The 4 of us all had a great dinner. Was a little worried as it was not busy for a Saturday night, but service was good and so was dinner. Definitely going back. read more

Ordered appetizers bruschetta and potstickers. The bruschetta was delicious with really good goat cheese and the potstickers were really good but the sauce wasn't anything extraordinary. A good deal for the money you are paying overall. Main course was Honey Garlic sirloin and one of the best steaks I had. Really juicy and delicious. Didn't dry out. A little bristly in the centre (my order was medium rare) but I don't mind that. The baked potato was good too. Their white chocolate brownie dessert is a must everytime I visit Moxie's. Service was great. They are always polite and eager to please you and the place is not really that fancy. Overall - 8/10 and would recommend going for their everyday deals like I did. read more

Food was excellent. Even better than other Moxies. Service however was inexcusably bad. Dining alone tonight, I elected to sit at the bar. There were about 5 of us being served by a woman who may in fact be the slowest employee I've ever met. Once the delicious burger arrived, I had to specifically ask for a napkin. Not a busy night, but terrible service. Definitely won't be sitting at the bar again... read more

Was there tonight. I had a really good visit. Service was friendly and attentive and the food was great. Another reviewer posted some pics but they did renovations and the place looks great now. Super bright, open concept and modern. Order the Steak Frites and Ramen Bowl - you won't be disappointed. read more

Good casual place for food or drinks. There is a lounge upstairs and the menu is fairly extensive. Prices are very reasonable and atmosphere is relaxed. Service is friendly and in the over 20 times I've been here I cant recall a bad experience. Not the place to go if you are looking for a more formal dining experience, but for a casual meal/drinks its perfect. read more

The food and service we're on point until a shift change happened during our meal. We sat for about 15 mins with no service, when we did track someone down they deferred us to someone else. We will chalk it up to bad timing as I have enjoyed Moxies for years. read more

One of the things that always makes me come to this location over others in the city is the diligence, dedication, and detail-oriented service offered by staff like Travis at this location. If my friends and I are fortunate to come to the restaurant when Travis is working, we know we can truly relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that Travis' quality of service will never have us waiting for orders or even to order. Given its proximity to downtown, this is a great place for after work meetups but it's truly staff like Travis, who remembered favourite drink orders after only a few visits that make the best impression for this location. read more

This is a review for the lounge only. I've eaten here a few times weekday lunch and you can't beat it for timing. The other pubs downtown are crazy busy and slooooooow at lunch. Moxi's get's busy but they seem to have a system because you get your food and you're out in an hour. Menu selection is the same as downstairs, service is a prompt and prices are fair. Had this fish tacos this time which you can have grilled or fried, I went fried and fries (yes I was bad) and they were very tasty. Decent sized pieces of fish, tangy sauce, crunchy lettuce and fresh tacos. Good portion of fries as I couldn't eat them all. Good, quick lunch spot. read more

one of Moxie's staff (a young (?)gentleman, small in size, dark hair) yelling at a homeless man outside during his smoke break. Another Moxie gentleman came out to help verbally attack the homeless man. The Moxie's staff were insulting him, yelling at him, causing a scene etc. I heard the homeless guy say 2 words during the whole ordeal and he was standing on the street by the lights. Not on their property. Bad taste on Moxie's end as they were in work uniform. Classy. Feb 6, 2020 20:30 read more

Great restaurant with a wide variety of options to choose from the menu! I love the enchiladas and dessert options. The lighting is a little dark but gives a more private and intimate setting. Service is great and overall one of my fav places to eat in Calgary! read more

What can I say. It's Moxies. Only average. Decent food, and good cocktails. Usually just visit the Market Mall location

This was the worst experience I've ever had at moxies, service was horrible food was cold it was my bday at they sucked soooo slow and loud shoe girl expected me to eat cake with my hands ??? read more

Had an appetizer which was great but the service was so very sub par. We waited for 10 minutes before I had to go inside and get someone to hlep us. Took another 10 minutes for our 'draft beer' to be delivered. Waited another 15 - 20 minutes for our bill. Being in the DT core of calgary not many of us get an hour and half lunch sooo..Moxie's - BE BETTER. read more

I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but this particular one has nice venues and their staff are usually friendly.

Was at this location earlier for lunch on our way to bc! Krista was our waitress and she was very attentive and social! Made our stay at the sandman even better! We will be back xoxox read more

I went in recently and was seated but the no waiter ever came to take my order. After about 15-20 min of waiting I left. I have eaten there before and the food was good but the service sucks big time. read more

I used to love Moxies and was very much looking forward to lunch. Not sure if it's the location or the chain itself but my experience was dissapointing at best: -We were seated in the most awkward booth. Servers could barely reach us and it was very difficult to have a conversation. -They no longer have my favorite item on the menu that I have been getting for years! Part of the reason I actually went there for lunch. -My burger was not worth $14. The fries were cold!!! The ranch-house chicken burger tasted okay but I couldn't bite through the bacon, and the chicken breast was not completely trimmed. -Service was pretty good. All in all, I was dissapointed with the food and atmostphere. I felt like I had to overpay for the quality of the experience. read more

I was there with my bachelorette party and the waiter Patrick was absolutely horrible! He told one of the ladies you bitches are drunk ! And we didn't do anything mean or rude !! The service was horrible and we had to wait forever . He also spilled water on one of the girls .. I would never ever go back there again .. it was a horrible experience! read more

Stayed at the Sandman so Moxie's was convenient. Ate there twice, having the rustic pizza with grana padano, pulled short rib, caramelized onions, prosciutto & pancetta. Very good. The next days sweet chili chicken was just okay. But.. I've become addicted to their Blue Zen Martini. Now to recreate it down here... :) read more

this place is a living hell the service was absolutely terrible and i am not very happy with this at all. i feel attacked personally. the food was alright but still man. come on. 2 hour wait? wow. read more

Generally, at best passable service and absolutely the worst nachos in the province. If you go, don't ever order the nachos. Ever.

This place is pretty good. The ambiance and interior of the restaurant is nice. The food is good although a bit on the pricy side. The staff is quite friendly and attentive. Good place, very typical American type foods. read more

I am a flight attendant and I ate at Moxie"s, and I will never eat there again. I ordered chicken wings, they came in a small bowl that held about 10 wings. Probably the smallest wings I have ever seen. Although the price for these wings are not small. 12 1/2 . The restaurant and service staff were good but the food was not worth the price. If you're hungry better go some place else. Oh, not too many more choices, that's why they can get away with it. Competition is the only thing to fix this problem! Sorry but I do not recommend going to this place to eat. John read more

Food was fine but poor service. Waitress made a bunch of errors and took a long time to fix the issues. Also ordered a grilled cheese from kids menu which was described as having whole wheat bread. Came with white bread and cheese only half melted. Sent back and ordered different item, assuming they wouldn't charge us. We were charged the full $9 because manager 'couldn't do anything about it'. Get a clue guys...it's called the SERVICE industry for a reason. read more

I had made reservations at this Moxie's for group of 9 for a bachelor party. We were seated very quickly and had plenty of room. We were seated in the lounge. The waitress took quite awhile to get our drinks even though the bar was quite dead but she was pleasant and friendly non the less. We all ordered our food along with our drinks and the food was good! Came out warm and in a timely fashion compared to the drinks. While we were eating the manager came up and introduced himself. Ryan was his name and thanked us for bringing the party to the lounge and proceeded to give the groom a $50.00 coupon for food and a free dessert and was very accommodating to any other requests! We truly appreciated his generosity and hospitality to make sure the table was taken care of. I would highly recommend this restaurant as a great supper place to go to before heading out on the town! Drinks and food were a little bit higher in price but really good! read more
