    Now that I have started eating here more often, I think I am building an addiction to their Chicken Shwarma. Sooooo good! Everything on the menu by our experience is quite good. Wife loves the souvlaki. With the burgers and fish added in, there are plenty of choices to keep the whole family happy. Very friendly staff, and lots of them to handle the rush. A busy place.

    Joe's Hamburgers' burgers are pretty good... not the best I had but just watching my beef patty grilling in open flame... exciting!!

    1/4 lb combo ($7.55) with a choice of drink. I got excited again when the nice man behind the cash said how about a beer?! Of course.. the drink is just a choice of pop..

    My DC must be really hungry since he finished his 1/2 lb in lighting speed... and then start attacking all the home cut fries and onion rings....until everything is gone!! Maybe is the Cherry Cola he is drinking giving him this sugar rush....

    The burger is quite enjoyable as the meat is moist and seasoned well. However, the Chicken Souvlaki with grilled marks looks a lot more tempting!! I definitely will be ordering that when I come back next time!

    PS They should definitely has the staffs wiped down the table frequently... seems no one ever clean the table the whole time we are there!!

    I met up with a friend at lunch today we decided to have us some burgers. She ordered a 1/4 pound combo I decided on the Joe's Hamburger (probably a 1/2 pound) :)

    After putting on the fixings it quite a towering sight!  
    The toppings were standard affair (tomato, lettuce, pickle) except for the grilled onions.

    Moment of truth:

    I polished off my burger in less than 5min. The sesame bun managed to stay together halfway through but my mayo, ketchup, relish, burger juices was a tad bit overwhelming and caused the bun to explode. The patty itself was grilled well.  

    The fries were made in house - fresh potatoes cut into flat rectangular shape with the skin on them not very crisp but they are good, the onion rings were also house made had that distinct home made flavour of batter. (the ones I've made at home taste the same)

    I like the place, the burgers, fries and onion rings were great. We saw some diners having souvlaki that looked very appetizing too. Something I'll keep in mind for next time I visit Joe's.

    Absolutely love this place, used to go every weekend. I've only stop as I am not long in the area for 2/3 of the year and I know just how bad this food choice in terms of healthy eating.

    If you are looking for great shwarmas and falafels this is one of the best in the GTA. I have yet to try the rice plates, but one of my friends make that his main order.

    They offer both whole wheat and white pita bread and customizing your fillings is extended beyond what you can see in the main assembly area if you take the time to ask.

    The prices are on the expensive side if you have become accustommed to the prices offered downtown T.O, however considering the quality of the food served I'm not complaining. The falafel starts at ~5 and the Shwarmas are ~7.

    The environment has been through an expansion so there is always a place to sit which is great especially when I have asked for extra hot sauce which seems to seep through the pita really quickly (not a fault of Joe's)

    Great for a once in a while treat if you are watching your health, but definitely a treat that should be taken in.

    This is the place I miss most since I moved from Richmond Hill to Downtown T.O.

    It is a quirky blend of burgers, greek chicken and lamb souvlaki, and middle eastern shwarma and falafel - but what a great blend it is!

    I love the chicken souvlaki on a pita - especially with the great coleslaw that is one of the many toppings.  The falafel in a pita is also really good.

    The lamb souvlaki dinner is only good if you dine in... not recommended for take out.

    Like others have said, if you are doing take out at lunch or dinner, call ahead, the place gets busy, but that is because the food is great.

    And Joe is a sweet guy - it is great to see nice people doing well.

    Almost forgot - the lentil soup is really good too!

    I kind of love this place.

    It's a kind of fabulous mash-up between a diner and a fingerlicking falafel joint. I've never tried the burgers here since the Pitas and Dinner plate combos are immeasurably delicious, but the fries are pretty crunchy if you're in the mood for American.  

    Although evenings can get weirdly busy, they are well staffed and you can be sure to get your order between 5-10 minutes. I agree with Eric about the tables being randomly dirty, however, in their defense Joe's is very busy for a secluded diner and there are plenty of tables to choose from.

    On my visits, I've tried the Chicken Shawarma dinner plate ($11, with fries and greek salad) and the Falafel combo ($8, with fries and pop) and the portions are gigantic. The chicken was tender and soft, and my falafel was very fresh. I found that my food was less greasy than your usual diner fare, and much more fresh.

    No wonder there's always a line up.

    "Joe's Hamburger" I didn't suspect it would be Lebanese food! I love persian/arabic food, but this restaurant is more of a generic persian/arabic fast food joint with a few "American" items, i.e. hamburgers, fries, etc.

    The service is not the best, walked in to dirty tables, a take-out line up and a jumbled menu. One item on the menu is "Shawarma 6.95" I actually had to ask someone how it is served (usually served as a meal with rice and salad).

    The food was very greasy, the salad was messy and the rice was plain. I'm thinking they serve more on quantity opposed to quality because the mound on my plate weighed 5 lbs!

    I would most likely make this a last resort, but there is no way I'd eat at McDonald's over this!

    Great Diner style restaurant.  Fast service, tasty food, good portions.  Honestly i can say the Best Falafels in the Greater Toronto Area, you have to try their falafel sandwich.  I go there at least once a week for lunch from work, it's about a ten minute drive but worth it.  I used to live in Dearborn Michigan which is a city known for their lebanese/arabic food and Joe's Falafels are much better then anything i have had there.  burgers and shawrmas are good too.  Don't expect 5 star dining experience, expect good fresh food at a good price.
