    Amazingly delicious garlic chicken. Pot roast was to die for. Great atmosphere. Stellar service. Cannot say enough good things. Not the cheapest meal, though. Love love love this place.

    The genuine waitstaff must have all had the night off on my recent Friday night trip to Joyce's. I had been dying to try this place for a while. It seemed so cute and cozy. And a warm summer Friday night with live music outside overlooking the river, what could be better?! We arrived and requested the deck. We were told a table would be ready in about 20 minutes. The waiter was friendly, but super frazzled. Rule number one, no matter how busy, never let the customers see you are so stressed. But we were fine to sit at the bar and have a beverage, I enjoy that. In the mood for a handcrafted cocktail, I looked over the martini list. I couldn't decide between two, so I asked the bartender which was better. His response? "I don't know, I don't do girly drinks" which would have made me laugh if he was at all joking. Trying to lighten the mood I jokingly quipped "Come on, real men drink girly drinks" and laughed, which only caused him to sigh loudly and walk away in a huff. Oops...I'm sorry, I thought customer service and playful banter with customers still existed. We were lead to a great table and we finished our drinks and were loving the live music. We sat and sat with empty glasses forever. Finally, after 30-40 minutes, I went inside and tracked down the man who had seated us. I told him nobody had been to our table yet, and he apologized. After about 10 more minutes, our waitress finally came. She apologized and took our order and brought more drinks. The food was forgettable, which was too bad because we were starving at that point. I'm never one to look for a handout, but having worked in the restaurant biz for over 20 years, at the very least I would have comped at least a drink after waiting for almost an hour without being greeted. I would go back to Joyces for a drink and live music, but that is it. And I would never again sit at that bartenders bar. Too bad, this place could be amazing.

    Joyce's brings another unique dining perspective and experience to the eclectic downtown of Hallowell. Its unpretentious dining atmosphere and unbeatable patio makes for a relaxing evening for any local or passerby. The entrees are forgettable, but the crab dip full of flavor. And the wine list is copious, providing 30 wines by glass and 60 by bottle. So come to Joyce's to raise a glass or two while noshing on the apps and listening to live music, but opt for dinner elsewhere, especially if you're looking for excellent cuisine. I love you, Hallowell!

    The bartender was rude and the wait staff was visibly annoyed that we decided to sit at the bar when we walked in. The BBQ chicken was too spicy - all I could taste was heat. They ran out out of the dinner special crepe? Disappointed.

    I'm really suprised at the negative reviews. I have been here about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had anything other than delicious food in a beautiful setting. I have only ever been at lunchtime though on sunny days and always sat on the gorgeous patio overlooking the river. The food has always been absolutely delicious and very nicely presented. I still have drooling dreams of their Baked Onion and Smoked Gouda Dip.

    My family, and I ate here twice during a recent visit to Maine. Their outside deck, overlooking the Kennebec River, was certainly worth a few stray mosquito bites. Our dinner waitress was outstanding, and our lunch waitress was pretty good. Their prices were reasonable, and all of our food was top quality. I particularly recommend trying their duck wings appetizer. My one serious complaint is that the lemonade which I ordered was totally artificial swill which left a bad chemical aftertaste in my mouth. It might have also been polite if they had made their tables against the riverside railing available on a first come, first served basis, instead of allowing their regulars to hog them with advance reservations. On the whole, my family, and I were quite happy with this restaurant. We might well go back there again when we are in the area. I certainly do recommend this place to others.

    Had lunch and enjoyed the crab dip and the thai noodle salad. Lovely atmosphere and great service. The salad was the perfect size and very flavorful with a nice medley of spice. The crab dip was to die for. Highly recommend.

    Best chicken pot pie in the state...lovely wine list and beautiful waterfront patio with white lights in the trees. I have had some of the smoothest red wines I have ever tasted here and enjoyed them with a cheese plate that is the perfect portion for a happy hour. Joyce's is my go to place for celebrating something special and I look forward to my next visit.

    Went there for the first time. Sat at a table for 15 minuets and watched 3 different servers talk to other dines and even look right at us, NO ONE asked us if we needed anything or were being helped. After the 3rd one walked by and looked at us we got up to leave. The restaraunt was NOT busy there were only 5 tables in use on a Saturday night. When I spoke to the guy who seated us, he acted like he could care less as we walked out the door. If they treat the tourists this way, thats one thing, but to tret local long time residents this way can lea to very bad word of mouth and we will certainly exercise that right. Stay away from these arrogant ignorant people who work there.

    Comfortable booths. Nice atmosphere. My wife had baked halibut which was very well prepared. I had a turkey dinner which was great traditional comfort food. Service was friendly and attentive. Too cold to sit outside, but they have some nice seating overlooking the river. Overall a nice place that we will visit again.

    Great atmosphere.. Much quieter and more relaxing than Slates across the street. We eat here 4 to 6 times a year. I think the food has improved since Joyce's first opened. Recently I had Thai noodle salad with grilled shrimp that was excellent. Then my husband and I shared a gigantic piece of warm raspberry pie with vanilla ice cream; it was fabulous! I look forward to summer when we can enjoy a meal on the deck overlooking the Kennebec River.

    We've been to Joyce's twice. Once where we sat on the deck which was quite nice and once inside. Joyce has a nice decor. The deck overlooking the river is beautiful. The only thing missing is good food. Last night I ordered a chicken breast with BBQ sauce. It was clearly store bought and not very good. Joyce's could be a great restaurant but they really need a new chef. Till then go across the street to Slates.
