Omg they have the best Fish Fry around. This is definitely a 10+. I have been all over trying different ones, but this is far most the best!!! Even the take outs are better then the rest. Fish was so big you couldn't see the salads and fries. Way to go Josifs Bar & Grill

Come-as-you-are, low-key dining with solid food and excellent service. Full bar, comfortable & casual atmosphere, outstanding food. Too many small town restaurants serve bland food. So nice to go somewhere that serves food you can actually taste. Friendly staff and clean. Fair prices with big portions. Underrated gem in a small town. Seafood, steak, and chicken are all excellent. First time here and we'll be back often. Update: 2nd time here was even better than the first. Cannot recommend enough.

Food has been amazing every time we order, we have done dine-in once but we get our food togo a lot because we have little kids and just prefer to eat at home while they are full of energy. It usually takes a bit longer for our food to be ready to go than we are told even when they aren't busy, but it's not a give deal, the food is always hot a tastes great, so it's worth the wait. Sad to hear they are selling but congratulations to Joe on his retirement, hoping the new owners keep the place just as amazing as Joe made it. I checked all of the options listed that we have tried and all have been fantastic. Amazing fish fry and we love the parmesan crusted chicken, just wish it was a regular menu item instead of only an occasional special.

We were a party of 15, and they couldn't have been more gracious. Tracy was our server...spot on service with a smile . Josif stopped by 3 times to check with us. We will definitely be back.

Passionfruit mules were delicious! Cesar salad was very good along with the deep fried mushrooms. My demonico was cooked to a perfect medium rare!!! My wife's broiled fish was overcooked. We will definitely go back!

Clean, friendly and dinner appropriate atmosphere. Food all felt house made, cooked very well and all came out at appropriate times (app, salad and meal) Cesar dressing had an authentic taste, appetizers were worth the $ and delicious. We ordered steaks, cooked to proper temperature, juicy and flavorful while the veggies were tender and potatoe texture was great. Definitely a hidden gem and worth the visit.

I do believe we had a wonderful time. Good food. Bit pricey but everything is.ok atmosphere. Never like sitting in the middle of a busy tiny room. Right in the traffic aisle. All the seniors seemed happy.
