JOEY Eau Claire

“their weekend brunch is actually incredible - eggs benedict had perfectly poached eggs with yolks that ran like golden silk and the hollandaise was rich and lemony without being heavy. the mimosas were generous and made with good champagne”

“brunch service on sundays is painfully slow - took like 30 mins to get our food and the place wasn't even that packed”

“JOEY actually has decent plant-based stuff that's not just boring salads - their impossible burger was juicy and good and the staff knew exactly what could be modified for vegans without being annoying about it”

“for real teh vegan cheese on my salad was super rubbeery and didn't melt right which sucked since everything else was so well done”

“ngl the steak frites waas exactly what i needed - proper aaa alberta beef crispy fries adn a sauce that makes you understand why people rave about this place”

“menu has so many options it's kinda overwhelming for someone like me who just wants teh basics!!! so like took forever to decide what to order ha”

“finally a chaain that takes gluten seriously - tehy have a whole separate prep area and the server actually knew about cross contamination. the gluten-free pizza crust was crispy and didn't taste like cardboard”

“gluten-free dessert options are like just sorbet which feels pretty basic for a place like this adn the prices they charge”

“the tuna poke bowl WAS exceptional - sashimi-grade fish with perfect soy-citrus balance. for real this is why joey consistently delivers on thier asian-inspired dishes dead serious”

“look service felt rushed during dinner which honestly meant our server WAS juggling too many tables to give this quality of food teh attention it deserves”

“tbh teh crispy chicken bowl had incredible textural variety - crunchy coating then juicy meat creamy avocado and rice that was perfectly al dente not mushy smh”

“the coleslaw was soggy and over-dressed lost all that satisfying crunch that should contrast with the rich chicken”

“seriously teh plating is always gorgeous - plates come out looking like magazines with good garnishes and nice color stuff. their salmon dish looked especially good with those bright green herbs against the pink”

“the lighting can be kinda harsh for food pics especially by the windows at lunch - too much contrast and it washes out some of the subtle colors solid”
