Great healthier dinner, fair prices and quality service. The band was a little odd and pretty loud for the setting though but still a good experience just hope they get better live music. read more

We used to love going to Josie's... food was good, staff was friendly & efficient, nice atmosphere. But now, it usually smells like sewage. Owner is rude & always drinking/drunk. He's run off all the good staff. At our last visit, we wanted to order food, but the kitchen staff left early & didn't even tell anyone. The owner didn't care because was outside drinking, of course. No social media or marketing info, so never know if any band is playing there. We won't be back, and I do not recommend Josie's at all. read more

Not sure what this place was in the past but what it's not now is a restaurant featuring Mediterranean cuisine. Is now a good-ole-boys-beers-after-work hangout with f-bombs galore. Menu rivals Fazzoli's. All pasta or bread heavy sandwiches. Not what is posted on their website. Disappointed and can confirm previous comments regarding owner. read more

We didn't eat here, but we did have some amazing drinks. This is a great spot just to go with the girls and listen to some live music. read more

Stumbled into this place by sheer hunger :) It didn't look like much but WOW we were so impressed the food was on point. We ordered an array of foods. Pasta piccata, Mediterranean pizza, Greek salad with grilled chicken, French onion food, and fried ravioli. Everyone licked their plate lol. Thank u John our server. Definitely coming back :) read more

Food was pretty good. Service was not great. Especially didn't love seeing our waitresses outside smoking while they weren't serving our table. Probably won't come back for that reason. read more

We always look up restaurants that we may be interested in eating at before we get there. Because we were attending an event across the street we chose Josies. The place was wonderfully clean, cozy and a fun atmosphere! We started off with the Greek salad and it was perfectly proportioned. Lightly dressed with a mild vinaigrette again perfect! We ordered the chimichurri steak frites, wings, and fries. The steak frites was amazingly cooked to perfection and the pesto sauce complemented so well. The wings in the hickory sauce was excellent and the fries were served hot! We decided to chance one more time and see if they kept up with the perfect score and we ordered the baklava - you guessed it - amazing!!! This is a 5 Star restaurant!!! read more

Second time I've eaten here. Food is average, at best. Wine was disappointing despite hefty prices. We like to patronize non-chain businesses so decided not to eat at Moe's or Mellow Mushroom across the street. Mistake. Will not return despite friendly service. read more

Really good food. It was our first visit. We had a time deadline but so wish we could have stayed longer & listened to the band. It was Rob and the Red Beards, and they were really good! We hope to hear them again sometime. And we will be back to Josie's very soon! We had Chimichurri Steak Frites, French Onion SoupMediterranean Pizza, The Mobster, Josie's Pasta chicken. Food was reasonably priced and delicious!! read more

Wife and I walked in here on a Sunday evening to a crowded noisy place. The one area where it was quiet was closed or so we were told by the young man wrapping silverware sitting at a booth in this area. We turned around and walked out and won't be back. Service is obviously poor if you can get thru the front door and all the way to the dining room with no staff interaction and what kind of owner keeps people packed into one small cramped area when you have a perfectly good second dining area? read more

Apparently the steak and cheese you can not see or taste the cheese and has very little steak. I'm not sure if they left soap on the dishes or cross contamination but all of us got a sick feeling within the hour after we left. The waitress was nice. read more

We have been here a few times and it's quickly becoming one of our favs! The hummus is fantastic. My kids absolutely love the cheese dip and pizza. I've tried something new every time and it has all been great! I'm a huge fan of the pizza and french onion soup! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE! Food we have had in a long long time! Now this is one of my favorite memories!

The decor was beautiful and well decorated with the downtown theme. The customer service was friends and attentive. I had the pits of the day and it was phenomenal! I wish it was an everyday menu! I left feeling full and happy because the food tasted wonderful and seems healthy! Will be back! read more

Thank you Josie's for a great experience in your restaurant for our archery team dinner. They were able to accommodate 32 people, giving us great service, and the food was wonderful! The chef personally talked to one of the patrons who has a gluten allergy and was able to accommodate him with an outstanding meal. Thank you Christie Wheat (owner of Simp McGhee's restaurant) for suggesting your sister restaurant Josie's! read more

Place is great. Highly recommend the chorizo-stuffed mushrooms, the chicken shawarma nachos, and especially the chefs pasta bake. I always try to swing by here whenever I'm in my hometown read more

Stop what you're doing right now, and go get Josie's Chimichurri Steak Frites! Our first time at Josie's last night and it was so, so good!! We sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing! I wish I knew her name to shout it out but she had dark brown hair. Drinks were fantastic. Service was great. And THIS STEAK, y'all, was better than Char's. A+ job, chef! Loved loved loved it!! read more

Very disappointing place. Food is overpriced and sub par. We came for brunch and ordered eggs Benedict and crepes. The eggs Benedict was equivalent to a homemade egg McMuffin MINUS the Hollandaise sauce ($12.95). The crepes were about one inch wide and stuffed with what appeared to be flavored Greek yogurt ($9.95). Needless to say, we left still hungry only to walk across the street to order more food. read more

We were out of towners visiting on every 3rd Friday's. I enjoyed my meal but was not overly impressed. Would have definitely been a 4 star if it wasn't so hectic and had been able to have the full menu. Would try again for sure read more

Second visit and still thoroughly impressed! Mom had the Mediterranean bake again and I decided to try the shrimp with Sherry and cream sauce....MOST EXCELLENT AND YUMMYLISCIOUS! Nice craft beer selection also !!! You gotta give Josie's a try... read more

This restaurant either needs a total makeover or it needs to close...permanently. It took us an hour and a half to get our meal and when we did finally receive it there was no explanation whatsoever. I ordered the paella and the portion was very small for the price and the seafood was undercooked. I would say even calling my dinner entree paella was false advertising. My friend ordered the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich which had 1 small piece of some kind of meat with some cheese. He said that "at least the bread is warm". I also had an $8.00 glass of wine which was disgusting. I have now tried this place twice; once when it first opened but I was willing to give them another chance but the 1st visit was better the 2nd. Needless to say I will never again have a meal at Josie's. It's a shame because I love the concept of a Mediterranean restaurant in Decatur, AL. read more

I really wanted to like this place I just wish it was good. Overpriced under delivered on all points. Decor is cold, staff is nice but under trained. The place was nearly empty every time we've been and most likely won't be back. Save your money. read more

We had a great time eating at Josie's over the holidays. I met up with a group of friends, and we ordered a bunch of tapas to split. The shawarma chicken was fantastic, and I loved queso and hummus dips. The service was fantastic, and our server went out of her way to make us feel welcome and help us clean up after some water spilled, even bringing us a new pizza to replace the one that had gotten wet. Can't wait to go back to try the charcuterie board and baklava! read more

Just had lunch at Josie's. The French Onion soup was delicious! The service couldn't have been better and I will be back

This place is THE place. And i mean that, even at its busiest the place is still amazing! Servers are always kind and nice and vary quick! The food is vary good, every dish on the menu is something even this picky eater can enjoy! Fresh crisp ingredients and all the flavors are vary complementing! The drinks are well priced as well, and the bathrooms are always clean! Thay will be reciveing my business for weeks to come! read more

Great food! Terrific service! Outstanding ownership and operators! Josie's is great food any game!

Tremendous service and fresh, quality ingredients make this a must have when I'm in town - especially for lunch. The Mediterranean Pasta is a circus of flavors that doesn't disappoint. read more

The food and the service was excellent. The prices were not expensive. The environment was very relaxing and some nights you may even catch some live entertainment. read more

Terrible food and customer service. If your food is not good, they will not let you get another dish, take it off the ticket, but will give you a box to take it to dog. 1 First and last visit. read more

The worst Bloody Mary I've ever had. And bloody Mary's are not really complicated. The food was ok, but the drinks were bad.
