My daughter fell over outside the restaurant (no fault of the restaurant) and the chef saw her crying and came out with some chocolate for her. We decided to dine, food was good, no complaints. Asked for extra ketchup, it never came, but overall a good experience.

First time trying Joe's Garage Ravenswood. Ordered online for delivery. Easy ordering process and good photos to see what you are ordering. Delivered exactly on time. Delivery guy was lovely and helpful. Food was hot on arrival. Most importantly food was delicious. Had smashed potatoes, chicken burger, Flatbread and JFC. Everything was great.

We were at Joes Garage on Friday night. They were very very busy but gave exceptional service. They were attentive and welcoming. Our table got mainly lone star meals and were so impressed. Shout out to Gary the chef, always consistent and delicious! And the friendly staff. We will be back!

Top tier Joe's garage, all of the staff were amazing and the eggs were the best eggs I've ever had. Never ever had a bad experience at Joe's garage anywhere but this one has to be the best. We are pro Joe's too so we have been to a few!

Love Joes at Ravenswood. Good food, and they don’t mind when you’re a bit picky. Always helpful. We were there for Sunday brunch and had great friendly service from everyone, I’m impressed by the young guys, good work ethic. Sue.

I absolutely love it here! The food is AMAZING, full of flavour, and served with a smile. The drinks are also great, and also always served with a smile. I've been to Joe's Garage several times, in a few different places with family, and we've all always had a great experience no matter which one we go to. It is a great place to share a meal with family and friends. The staff are always friendly and super helpful, and make sure you have a good time. It is a little pricey, but it's so worth it! Great place to go for an occasional treat.

Epic meal, fun evening. Charles was on point as our server, we were really well looked after. Other staff who helped were also excellent. The food was great; JFC burger and sweet potato fries. Handy location and everything you hope for on a Friday night!
