Went with a party of 5 and sat outside in the back. Connor was our server and was fantastic. Attentive, helpful and very polite. Food options are great at lunch, early afternoon small plates, and dinner portions are hearty. We always end up taking leftovers home. Tuna wontons and the bang bang shrimp are to die for. Ask to sit in Connor's section and enjoy Josie's. Can't wait to go back next winter with the family. read more

Service was terrible but not as bad as the manager. 45 minutes to get water, 1 hr to get bread and drinks-and restaurant not full. Manager was rude, dismissive and of no help. Have been there before but NEVER. again. The cheap mediocre food is not worth the terrible sevrvice. STAY AWAY! Many other much better choices nearby. read more

BEST FOOD EVER Highly recommend the pizza and pasta. To any high position person at Josie's (Johnny is amazing and is the best waiter EVER) As said with this, the service was AMAZING. Also, the food came out beautiful. Amazing restaurant with amazing community. I highly recommend read more

We saw this restaurant on Instagram, so we tried it tonight. It was very good. The lasagna was very good, same with the Rigatoni Bolognese, pasta was cooked perfectly. The 16 chocolate layer cake was so moist. Give it a try, they also have Gluten Free Pasta. read more

Josie's is located on the south side of Woolbright Road, before the bridge over the intercostal. A large group of us came for happy hour, arriving at 4:30. We all brought small bills as they don't divide the check for happy hour groups. This family owned italian restaurant began in 1993 as a small neighborhood pizzeria. They have beome a full service restaurant with a bar, handcrafted cocktails and live music. The menu contains Italian classics, fresh seafood, steaks & house made pastas. ​ Happy hour is daily until 5:00 and after 9:00. It's served until 6:00 at the bar, high tops, patio & back dining room. Wines are $7 to $9 while cocktails are $11. Pizza's are $13 or $14 with a wedge salad at $9. I like their short rib meatballs, eggplant parmigiana, rigatoni bolognese, with the shrimp bada bing as their signature appetizer. Tim and the staff took fabulous care of all of us. We tried just about everything on the happy hour menu and it was exceptional. read more

Great place food is delicious. Love the live music - check the schedule. My favorite is the fried calamari app and the complimentary garlic homeade bread is next level! read more

What's better than happy hour at Josie's? Summer happy hour with even better pricing on the already-super food and drink menu. We went with a large group and were able to make a reservation during happy hour. And the server kindly provided separate checks despite the menu indicating otherwise. That's great service! In fact, the service was excellent throughout our visit, and thus my upgraded rating from 4 to 5 stars. The happy hour menu is quite extensive. The summer deals will be ending very soon, so if you want a draft beer for $3.50 or a house wine for $5, stop by Josie's sooner rather than later. The regular happy hour drink deals, including $10 cocktails, will still continue though. We enjoyed several items from the happy hour menu, including a tender chicken parmesan, penne ala vodka, a tasty prime short rib meatball, amazing eggplant stefania (stuffed with angel hair pasta and covered with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese), margarita pizza, and a wedge salad, which included bacon, tomatoes, onions and a terrific bleu cheese dressing. All of the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were good even though these were happy hour offerings. As the menu indicated, the food was brought out as each item was prepared rather than all at once. The upside is that everything was hot and freshly prepared. The downside is that the food was served piecemeal rather than as an entire meal. I was satisfied with this approach though. The restaurant was pretty crowded on a Monday night. As we enter "season" it will no doubt get even busier. So make a reservation, if possible, and stop by Josie's for happy hour or even for dinner as they also have a nice selection of chef's specials in addition to their full menu. read more

Josie's never disappoints. The best Calamari appetizer. Superb Caesar Salad and scrumptious Veal Parm. Stellar service as well

Great Italian restaurant in east Boynton Beach. My biggest recommendation is to order the "Beggars purse" - a pasta dish with raviolis stuffed with pear, four cheeses, and truffle, with dried tomatoes in a delicious cream sauce. It was amazing and a must-try if you like truffle. The parking lot in this plaza is a nightmare, so I suggest getting there early. They are located near the water tucked next to Prime Catch and the large apartment complex. Josie's is on OpenTable, so it's easy to get a reservation using the app, which I recommend. They have great happy hour deals before 6 pm too! read more

This restaurant was very nice! I hope to go back as it's a perfect little date night spot. My husband and I came with our 3 littles and the staff was accommodating with that. Our waitress was very kind, the kids loved her! Pizza was amazing, meatball, wedges... everything yum. My only negative was the music. Love the live music but I feel like it should be consistent. The musicians were on and off playing and it made the room feel a bit awkward. read more

Nice happy hour every day but it is a very small bar area so get there early or you won't get a seat. The food is ok, 2.75 the margarita pizza has no taste but after salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and Parmesan it was pretty good!! We had the calamari eggplant parm and bang bang shrimp. Calamari was a bit over cooked and heavily breaded so that pretty much all you tasted, same with eggplant, shrimp were much smaller than a previous photo, not really spicy. All in all just meh. read more

One of the best and longest happy hours in Boynton Beach. Happy hour is from open to 6pm and again from 9pm to close. Delicious fresh Italian food and yummy martinis at half price. Also a great spot for brunch or an inexpensive date night! Plus they have live music on certain days throughout the week. read more

Josie's has always been hit or miss with some items being fine and others disappointing and its strong point is the twice a day Happy Hour. The location that is east and just over the bridge from A1A is convenient for me and that brings me back but I'm not sure the restaurant warrants a trip for those traveling further. Service lately has been spotty and some staff are just going through the motions with many service lapses. The predictable Italian-American food on the last two visits were just okay with a sauce on two dishes being overly sweet and missing any depth. A pasta Special of the Day lacked taste and I didn't bother eating much of it. Chicken items were okay as were appetizers and lately that's what Josie's is - just okay. read more

Josie has a fantastic happy hour, that last until six. They have a happy hour menu and drink special specials. Good food good atmosphere great place to go. read more

We got there around 515 and had a drink at the bar. Our reservation was for 530 and we were seated 535. Note that there is a Happy Hour from 2-6 except in the main dining room where Happy Hour ends at 5. Note that they also have a Happy Hour menu which is very good! They may have gotten a 5 rating except it took about 10 minutes for us to get a menu. That was after my wife went to the manager to complain. That said, Rich our waiter was exceptional! He knew the menu and took good care of us. Their bada bing shrimp was very good as was the calamari, short rib meatballs and bolognese meal. Despite the wait in the beginning we would go back again. read more

The food just wasn't great. I've had worse, but I've also had a lot better. The meatballs tasted like they're from a pizzeria. The eggplant apple time was bland . Got the pasta. That was in the shape of a purse, stuffed with pear and a truffle cream sauce. It was just OK. The presentation was better than the flavor on both dishes. Unfortunately, I won't be back. read more

I just discovered Josie's ---I've lived in Delray for over 20 years! It is fantastic, really good food! The service is friendly, the restaurant is pretty. Parking can be a challenge-- better off parking by the bank and walking in. The lasagna is my favorite, the pizza my second! read more

Hate to start off on a bad note, but unfortunately this experience missed the mark. The food overall was nothing more than average. When we walked in, we waited about two minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Once a server finally approached, he asked how many people were in our party with little to no enthusiasm and seated us without saying much. That same server ended up being ours for the night, yet he never introduced himself or mentioned any specials. We ordered cocktails, which we eventually had to remind him about because they took so long to arrive. While the appetizers were actually very good, the main courses were a huge letdown. The pizza was extremely dry and gritty, and overall just unpleasant. The server never checked back in with us, and service continued to be so slow that we ended up going to the bar ourselves to order dessert and ask for a to-go box. We left $12 on a $180 tab, which I truly hate doing, but the level of service simply wasn't there. Probably won't be returning. The only reason we came in the first place was because we had a gift card. read more

Having only ever done Josie's fur takeout, I was excited to finally go in person but yeah, no, not so much... Parking is an absolute nightmare here. The spots near the restaurant all devoted to valet spots stared by the nearby Prime Catch. We had a reservation and were seated right away, which was great, but our table was the only one with no silverware setups. Our server seemed new, or at least untrained, but very friendly, even if not overly attentive and since we were out for a good time, things like no setups, water spotted silverware, and chipped bread plates were let go. The food was really, really good and it was almost, probably would have been, enough to salvage the evening but then it was ruined by the cheapness of the restaurant. When the two older ladies at our table asked about splitting a plate of pasta, we were informed that it would be a charge of $5.00 for an extra plate. When we asked about bringing in our own cake for dietary restrictions, we were informed it would be $2.50 per person for them to provide a small plate and a fork. This after ordering multiple appetizers, cocktails, and full meals. Finally a credit card processing fee of $2.86% of the entire bill is added on. Whoever the cheapskate was to make these decisions, please know you are part of what's wrong with the South Florida restaurant scene. You have a beautiful restaurant with delicious food, but you've just lost a half dozen customers for life. read more

We have boated to lunch several days and enjoyed every lunch until today. We had two salads that were both excellent [ up to their usual standards. All week I looked forward to Eggplant Stephania, my favorite dish. Today it was a terrible disappointment. The center was cold, the fine pasts stuffing was dried ot on the edges and cold in the center. This dish lacked freshness because, at least according to the server, it was part of a batgch that was made early in the day and partially reheated for my order. Later, after conferring with the manager, came back and "explained" that every dish is made fresh "today." Afive star eggplant dish is made fresh, served hot, and fully flavored. The lunch was not up to their usual standards. I don't kow what to do next time I eat there, but it won't be pre-made eggplant. read more

The first thing to address is the hostess station. The manager is nasty and rude and not a customer service representative with the best interest of the restaurant. Had reservation wanted to seat me in the traffic. Of the restaurant while it was half empty. Still early and people were walking in no reservation getting seated. I frequent this restaurant often. My friends frequent it as well because I recommend it. Went to Cafe frankie. Treated much better. read more

If you read my reviews, you know I usually start with our server, and I don't even review if the service isn't good. Johnny Lee is a breath of fresh air and a pro from start to finish!! Thanks Johnny. Started with the Bangin' Shrimp and the Tempura Artichokes. GREAT start. Highly recommend. Better Half's salmon which was excellent as were the pasta dishes. And my Bacon pizza was outstanding. Nice wine list and Bread Pudding dessert. Overall a great experience as usual and highly recommend. read more

We truly enjoyed brunch at Josie's. I had a delicious lox platter and my husband had the crème Brulé French toast,. We also shared a bowl of fresh fruit. I loved my Bloody Mary. They offer bottomless mimosas and Bloody Mary's on the weekends for $12. I highly suggest checking them out for brunch. You can sit outside on the patio and see the intracoastal if you choose. Excellent service, as well. read more

I enjoy dining here when it is off season and the locals can eat a meal without all the crowds. It doesn't matter what time of year, reservations are highly recommended. The food is well prepared and served hot with the usual Italian condiments on the side in a basket. The garlic rolls are delicious but they are not complimentary. The service is good and the ambiance is nice with the dark wood and tables with white table cloths. They have additional seating outside and a daily Happy Hour. read more

The place was very nice and the food tasted good. The reason why I am giving a 2 star rating is because I have never gotten such bad service in my life!!! The manager didn't even care when we tried to talk to her too. I do not recommend this place simply due to the service. Very horrible. read more

Johnathon, a manager is a breath of fresh air. Finally a genuine, caring, friendly manager! A people person who can empathize and make a difference. Katherine, is a delight also. Offered to charge my phone for me even though she was extremely busy. It's soooo hard to find great customer service these days. So lovely to not have a robot waiter/waitress. I was actually spoken to and felt normal being alone and in casual attire. The owner should be aware of these two special employees. I had almost given up on good service until I stumbled in today asking if they had a Happy Jour whilst walking. The food looks amazing as well and I can't wait to return, dressed up and with a friend. Thank you Johnathon and Katherine. You both make a difference. read more

Visited there yesterday, 2/23/26. We have been there many times over the last few years and always had an enjoyable time. And quite a bit of money has been spent there over that time period. Recently though I have observed a decline each time. Getting together with eight other friends for a birthday happy hour and was under the impression that there was a reservation. We were told no, there was no reservation. And that happy hour was only available in the high tops and outside, which we could not accommodate a high top for nine people and outside was unseasonably cold. I realize they have no control over the weather, but the problem was the attitude. The hostess, and another man from the waitstaff I feel were rude were poorly trained and had very limited communication skills. There are ways to speak to people (especially in the hospitality business !)and at least give them the impression that they care. We are there to support your establishment after all! This was not the case here. Unfortunately, nine of the people has been there other times also and with other family members and friends so after that experience, there were a lot of people that will not be returning to Josie's. If I were the owner of Josie's, I would get busy retraining some people. Rudeness is completely unacceptable. No apologies were ever offered, and things could have gotten heated, but we just decided to leave and not come back. read more

We go to Josie's often however last night was an extremely disappointing dining experience . Truly the first time we were incredibly disappointed. We arrived at 4:45 and probably should have had a reservation, but unable to get two cocktails (like the couple at next table). The bartender was very busy, we were told. In addition, the family at next table came along with tree screeching children. Not your fault, but it made everyone's dining experience miserable. I'm not anxious to return. read more
