The JOEY Restaurant Group opened JOEY Uptown in 2021 on Westheimer Rd. The Canadian-based upscale casual restaurant has quickly grown in popularity since its inception. Known for its globally inspired menu that features menu items like sushi, steaks, and Cajun blackened chicken, the 10,000 square-foot space with a “living ceiling” patio offers a social vibe.
The hospitality group was founded by Jeff Fuller. Key concepts include JOEY Restaurants (urban locations like JOEY Kitchen University Village and JOEY Valley Fair), with expansion plans leading to new developments like JOEY Biltmore in Phoenix.
“Like most of JOEY management, CEO Jeff Fuller started his remarkable journey flipping burgers, washing dishes, and sweeping floors,” The JOEY Restaurants website reads.
“It’s called paying your dues, learning from the ground up, and understanding what success takes. ‘If there’s a secret,’ he says, ‘it’s hard work, unwavering commitment to the customer and assembling the very best people.'”
JOEY Houston is slated to open in City Centre Six at 920 TOWN & COUNTRY BLVD., STE. 124 by Spring 2027.
