Naked Blackened Chicken on a gluten-free bun
Linda J.

For some reason, this place is LOUD regardless if I'm there at noon or at 9 pm. They have a few gluten-free items on the menu. Whenever I tell the wait staff I have Celiac Disease, a manager always comes to discuss my meal, which I appreciate. I really enjoy their Blackened Chicken Sandwich on a gluten-free Care Bakery bun. I prefer my chicken naked, which is an option listed on the menu. Beware, though, they have paper straws, which you can skip unless you order a slushie drink like a Bellini.

Came to this Moxie's last month with a coworker for Happy Hour en route to a library y'all with Mindhunter Author, John Douglas. Our server was fantastic and got our bites and bills to us quickly when I let her know we had about a 45 minute window to dine and dash. Absolutely loved the bar here - loads of seating options with plenty of space. The $4 happy hour fish tacos were delicious and smartly served over a foil sheet as they will make a mess - maybe not a first date food ;-) The Tuna Poke at $9 also really hit the spot. Our fave drink was the $5.50 mason jar hard lemonade. The wings were so-so (not nearly as good as Central Social wings). I was surprised to find the washroom in disarray and quite dirty given the early time of day before supper. Overall a solid 4 stars.

I've been to this moxie's a few times. The main reason for me to go here is for the patio. The patio is gorgeous, big tables, with plenty of space between, there is open-air in 3 directions so one can pretty much always expect a cross-breeze. Even if one is sitting in direct sun, there's a breeze. The chairs are fabricy not leathery so one doesn't get stuck to the chair in hot weather. Theres lots of parking. I would concur with other Yelp reviews that the food takes awhile, there seems to be longish delays between bringing water, taking drink order, taking food order etc... Most recently we were there for after work appies and beverages. The beverage menu and specials are good. We had 2 sushi appies. Both were tasty, I would note that the one came with literally the tiniest helpings of wasabi and ginger that I have ever seen and while cute in appearance, i actually like to eat the ginger so I did miss it.

Girls night

As a discretion, I normally do not like to support chain restaurants. I much rather go to a family owned business. Not only do I think that usually family run restaurants do food better, but I also want to support local business and not some corporation. However, I do make some allowances. If you are with a group of girls that are unadventurous eaters, and don't like anything different but you crave friendship more than good food ...then sure. The other acceptation I make is older relatives and buffets. I love my relatives more than I can't stand the lukewarm trays that have mediocre food. I will eat that bland chicken drumstick for my 80 year old mother. So these things to me that I file in the I can always eat after this event portion of my brain. So when a someone pickier friend of mine suggested Moxies for a girls get together I went for it. First of all, it helped that we went on Wine Wednesday. Bottles were half off which is super reasonable especially if you are splitting between one or two people. I am not sure if they are able to recork the wine, but even if you are dining and drinking alone, this is a great way of trying wine. We split a few appies - Korean fried cauliflower - spicy gochujang pepper sauce, jalapeno lime dip, biryani chicken wings, and mosaic dip - goat cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, warm grilled pita, fresh white corn chips. Actually generally speaking pretty decent appies. My favourite was the Korean Fried Cauliflower. It was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and you could choose the combination of dip to spice it how you like. Definitely I would order this again. My friends like the biryani chicken wings a lot. I felt they were okay but actually having biryani in East Indian restaurants, nothing like the actual flavour. Too much sweetness to them. The mosaic dip was fine too. The mushrooms paired well with the red wine I was drinking, but lacked any overall flavour. Atmosphere was okay. I found that it reminded me of a movie that was trying to be trendy. However it was not too loud and so we could have a great conversation and lots of laughs without too much interruptions. Which brings me to service. Lukewarm at best. Not super attentive. This isn't my first choice ever, but if you want to make compromises try here. And you may not even have to eat at home afterwards.

Moxie's Kingsway location is busy at lunch. Their lunch selection is pretty much their dinner menu. ordered half beef dip with side Caesar salad for $11.50. My friend got the chicken tender with side soup. Both are very good. Once i5 hits noon it is very busy, highly recommend coming 15min before to beat the rush. Service is very good and friendly.

Bellini with chewy candy frog
Pamela D.

After a few hours in Kingsway Mall trying so hard to finish my Christmas shopping I realised I was hangry and needed dinner pronto. Luckily, Moxie's is on hand for these desperate situations. I got a bellini as a 'well done' to myself for even attempting Christmas shopping in November (go me)! It was the slushy, sugary goodness I wanted, super sweet with a chewy candy frog on the top! Yum. To eat, I ordered the Prawn Linguini. The prawns throughout were large and juicy and it also had half a lobster tail too. Lots of cherry tomatoes for some fresh bursts but what was missing was parmesan. I wished the server had offered parmesan or black pepper. I still ate it all - I was staving. I had my daughter with me and she had the chicken strips and veggies with dips. She loved the ranch dip and stole a lot of my pasta too! The kids menu actually has quite a few nice options. The server was nice but the food took it's time coming out and the crayon's were losing the appeal of my two year old. Still need to finish my Christmas shopping.

It is lovely inside with fireplaces, comfortable couches and seating. Reminds me of an elegant cigar room. I would like to come here during the summer, because the patio has one of the best views of the river valley. Service was great. Our server came repeatily to make sure that we were comforable and happy with what we had ordered. A breakdown of what we had HEIRLOOM PUMPKIN SOUP - coconut cream, toasted pepitas, plantain chips ORGANIC SALMON - Pan seared salmon, Thai Laksa sauce, tiger prawns, tender bok choy, rice noodles, crushed nuts and NANAIMO BAR MARTINI Custard cream, coconut crumb, chocolate ganache inspired by the traditional Canadian dessert from Vancouver Island Food was delicous. The standout was the salmon. Delicous Laksa sauce. Absolutely beautiful. The Nanaimo bar martini was good, but extremely rich. I would say if you are not a huge sweet fan try something else. However, if you love chocolate, this one is for you. For us this was fairly pricey so it would be a once a year treat.

Food came out slower than typical but it was a good use of our time to enjoy the space and our drinks. Food was good. For sure the burnt ends were the star of the show. But the mac and cheese was good and creamy and the fries were well flavoured and plentiful. Sliders were well constructed. come here for amazing drinks and snacks! And the food is an added bonus.

He than followed me and the two bouncers outside calling me a liar and every other name in the book. It was so obvious that he knew the liquor was half water because the second I said something he wouldn't even talk to me about it and instead had me and my girl kicked out on the spot. I am the farthest thing from the type to write reviews like this, so for me to post this I would have to feel extremely snaked out. Moral of the story is if you don't want any of this to happen to you don't attend 117 lounge. Overall rating is a very generous 2/10
