Josie's

I haven't posted a review of Josie's in many years but I come here regularly again. I truly love their Country Club and it is the best you can get anywhere. It is definitely my favorite thing on the menu and the country ham is the star of the show!They have many other great options as well. I did eventually start coming here for dinner and then they stopped serving dinner shortly thereafter. I'm a big fan of the neighborhood diner!

Good breakfast spot. Arrived and told there would be a wait, but they moved pretty quickly. Fun decor throughout the space and a good size bar to seat people. I had seen previous reviews about gluten free pancakes, but they did not offer that. I asked and was told they only have gluten free toast. So I opted for an omelette and it was delicious. Seemed a bit pricey for breakfast with the omelette meal $15+ but it was good.

Great unpretentious lunch/breakfast spot. With half my family in Lexington, we often find reason to run things over from Louisville. Rarely have we done this lately without a stop by Josie's! I love supporting a local place, and getting close to campus without *involved* in campus is good for my nostalgia. Service is friendly. They are sweet to my daughter, who is 2 and can be full spirited, so I always love when service acknowledges her! Orders don't take long to come out, which makes it a great quick lunch. I always order breakfast when given the choice, but my family orders lunch. The pancakes are wonderful! I have also had 3 separate egg entrees and would order any of them again, though the egg white omelette today was my favorite yet. It's a comforting vibe, laid back as you hope to find near a college campus but not too much. I'd have taken my parents here in college. I take my parents here now, so I guess that didn't need stating! See ya next time we are nearby, Josie's!

Great casual spot ideal for brunch with friends or family. The menu was full of classics, with something on there for whatever you may be craving at the time, all prepared well but in a more homey sort of way. The staff was friendly and service was efficient. Pricing was quite fair and seating options were plentiful. Would recommend and likely return.

I was not a fan... Their brunch was basic not a lot of options. And pricey for things I could cook at home. When I go for brunch, I look for things I can't cook at home, that are unique and different. I did not find this menu have any of that. Honestly, I don't understand why it's such a hit. Food is nothing special by looking at the menu, and priced higher than I think it should be

The food was great, the choices were many and the service was quick. Lovely cozy place with plenty of parking. Nice bathroom, too!

I've been wanting to check out Josies for years and I finally made it there. It was everything I hoped it would be! The decor was super cute and the food was delicious. I tried the Josies Dad omelette with breakfast potatoes and biscuit. Yum! It was all so good. The menu had so many options, so I can't wait to go back and try something else.

My friend asked me to go to Josie's for the Friday night Prime Rib Special. It's a good deal at $19.99. You get two sides. I selected the mashed potatoes and the cauliflower au gratin, which was very good. The place filled up fast, most having the special. Get there at 5PM. There were people outside waiting to get in.20

I'm a simple guy. Breakfast on a weekday with Counter service, black coffee and any of the omelets. Just can't go wrong with any of the omelet's. Yum!

So much for Southern hospitality. I visited this charming little breakfast place, Josie's in Lexington, KY for the first time on Jan 12, 2025. I was so looking forward to liking this place as the atmosphere was pleasant and it's always great to find a good place for breakfast. I ordered one of their omelets but explained that I could not have tomatoes on it because of a food allergy. To my surprise they explained to me that they could not deviate from the menu on the weekend and would not agree to not adding tomatoes to the omelet. Huh? Where am I - in Russia? Even the busiest diners in the heart of NYC accommodate their patrons. And I am actually requesting they save the tomatoes thus reducing food costs, albeit by pennies. What restaurant can survive without making adjustments regarding food allergies? We shall see. I will never visit this place again.
