Service was good Food was brought out separately not something we appreciate, we eat together once every one has their food. Typical small town atmosphere. Food was just mediocre at best. The food for us lacked something, flavoring. The portions were very big for the cost. The coffee was good. They do not accept debit cards only credit cards for a fee. There is an ATM in the restaurant. Unfortunately we won't be back. It's a great place for the locals to hang out and get caught up with each other just not for us. read more

Josie's Restaurant - Sausage and gravy, two scrambled eggs and rye toast. - American Near Me - Coalport, Pennsylvania

Regrettably, this restaurant has gone downhill as an eatery: once a favorite and now failing. From taste and quality and delivery of the food, I'm so disappointed as over my last 5 visits the food has gone down in size (plates are smaller to give the illusion of a normal amount), prices have gone up (but who's hasn't...) but it's the taste of former familiar favorites reduced to almost recognizable. As a former "regular" and supporter of this dining establishment, I'm not alone in those other regulars who have 'gone elsewhere' quietly --as they too have experienced a more-than-significant downgrade in their dining experience. I hope this negative review sparks a commitment to a re-evaluation of food purchase, preparation, quality and quantity! read more

Their burgers are really good. The outside dining area is nice to sit and enjoy in the summer and the staff there are always super nice

Great food served quickly by friendly staff. The place is clean and warm. Overall great experience

Josie's is a home town, family restaurant in Coalport, PA! Home of delicious wings, lobster wraps, salads, pasta, dinners, and a huge breakfast challenge! I can't recommend this place high enough. We usually come in two-three times a week, and are always greeted with excellent service, a big smile, and we feel like family....not customers. There are so many items on her menu that we love, but some of our go to favorites are: Sweet and Sassy Wings (both wet and dry) Lobster wraps Turkey dinner Breakfast (I recommend eggs any way you can think of them, omelettes, bananas foster French toast, S'mores French toast, and you can't forget her fresh sausage patties!) Cobb Salad Meatloaf dinner Loaded French fries (cheese, bacon, chives, sour cream) Fresh soups (can't go wrong with any of them) Country fried steak dinner As you can see we can go on and on. Now not only is the food delicious, but the service is quick, the coffee is fresh, and your order is cooked fresh regardless of how busy they become. You can't beat the quality!! Last, and certainly not least, is owner JoAnn who not only will check on you, but follow up on any compliment or complaint, will sit and have a conversation with you, and take any suggestion openly and graciously. She gives so much back to the community and we love getting to know her more during every visit! You owe it to yourself to check this place out! You'll be glad you did! read more

Welcoming little hometown place with good food and good prices. Went here on a recommendation after being in the area and wanting breakfast and it seems like they have a busy enough business to have fresh ingredients and some standards. read more

Holy hotcakes, this is THE place for a great breakfast! Delicious! Fresh! Made from scratch! You can't ask for more! If you're feeling up to it, try the breakfast challenge. That's finishing the large breakfast which is eggs, meat, potatoes, and two gigantic, saucer sized pancakes! If you can do it - a Josie's tee shirt is yours. Kids breakfast is an adorable teddy bear pancake! A short and beautiful 1 hour drive from State College that's well worth the trip. A great family weekend morning get away. Enjoy wildlife including wild turkey and deer along the beautiful tree lined roads. If you're camping at Gallitzin this is a must do! On the way in, the way out, or when you want a great meal without the camper/camp fire burden of cooking. Heck, I'd do all three. Oh and take a look at the prices! :) read more

Never left hungry! but I do not find it necessary to do the house keeping while customers are eating. Two of several visits there were very disappointing as our waitress vacuumed the floor next to our table and the remaining area. There is a time and place for housekeeping, certainly not while customers are trying to enjoy their lunch or dinner! read more

Hometown magic! Never disappoint. Great staff. You should stop by anytime and enjoy that homemade goodness

This is our favorite place in the entire Gallitzin area. Our kids lose their minds when they're here... in a good way. Portions are good, food is great, and the staff is absolutely wonderful and friendly. It's gets a rare 5-Star review because it's Josie's! Seriously though, this is a must stop for any meal. read more

Honestly probably the worst experience I have ever had at a small town breakfast place. Service was ok, not good but not horrible. Kitchen was very slow and unorganized. As a table of 4 who ordered very simple breakfasts each plate came out separately and one plate never actually came. Once we were seated 2 gentleman came in a sat beside us, they ordered after us and were serviced before us. Breakfast ordered was, 2 eggs scrambled and toast, sausage egg and cheese sandwich with hash browns, 2 pieces of French toast, and lastly a western omelette. The French toast never came out and after 45 minutes of waiting we left. The waitress came to the table 3 times to tell us "it's coming right out", after she told us that they had burnt the first one and they were making it again. When I went to the counter to tell the waitress we were leaving and to take the French toast off the order and that I would like a 50% cut from the bill, the owner then approached me and told me that there was no problem in the kitchen. The owner then stated that "you must have had complex requests"...the waitress chimed in and stated that it was a simple order. The French toast was for a 10 year old, pretty sad a breakfast establishment can't keep track of simple orders and then makes up excuses. Regardless, the meal was covered by the owner. read more

We moved near Coalport in 2016 and had never heard of Josie's.. but like most locals we have come to love this place! The wings are amazing and reasonably priced, just like everything else on the menu. When I ask my 4 year old where she wants to eat.. she usually says Josie's (for their bear pancake)! Keep up the great work guys.. you're doing it right! read more

Food tasted good but wish there was more variety in the dishes they offer. I felt like it could use some new stuff

Now known as "Josie's Restaurant", new owner Joann Gallaher continues the proud tradition of delicious homemade food at a decent price! Thank you for keeping this eatery open and making the food and ambience even better, Josie! read more

Josie's Restaurant is far above the competition in Coalport, PA. The breakfast is served up with some of the biggest pancakes ever seen by this person here. The customer service is outright amazing and you feel like you've entered a place where everyone knows your name and if they don't you feel like you belong there by the end of the meal. I would recommend Josie's if you are in the Coalport area. read more

Consistently amazing food and service. My family eats here or does take out at least twice a week from Josie's!

Josie's is a cute and homey place. Signs, as well as staff t-shirts, advertise that you come as a guest, leave as a friend. The food is very generously portioned and fairly tasty (well, the turkey was a little dry and the gravy a little bland, but it was definitely tasty). The "leave as a friend" part needs a bit of work, though; locals are treated very differently from newcomers. We waited a little over 45 minutes for our meals (we got the specials, nothing that should have taken extra time), while the regulars were served much more quickly. A table that ordered after we did got served, finished their meal, and paid their check before we even got our food. It seemed like every table but ours got a few words of friendly conversation. Conversation isn't something we'd normally assume in a busy restaurant, but the "leave as a friend" suggested a more welcoming atmosphere (at least a question about whether we had gone to the special event in the next town, which everyone else was asked), so we felt very much like outsiders. Based on other reviews, we'd try it for breakfast, which sounds wonderful, but not if we were in a hurry. read more
