Josie's Country Store & Cafe

Wow! Some of the best quality freshest food we have had in a long time. Huge variety of items with Asian twist. Yum. The fries were excellent best I've had in quite a while. The menu also contains many traditional American fare too.

Amazing selection of beer, canned coffee, canned wine, as well as a surprising variety of snacks from Asia. Truly a hidden gem of Downeast Maine. Cosmopolitan and international.

Bacon? Bacon in the bloody mary? Yes, yes it is. Spicy and savory bloody mary. The fish burgers and fries both traditional and sweet potato was excellent. Service was quick and friendly, no need to wait for your check, If you know your table number you can pay right at the register. Oh did I mention the bobba tea ?

It looks like it just a convenience store, but they make an awesome breakfast! Service was great and so was the food. Both the breakfast burrito and classic breakfast plate were both well done. Their Rye toast was out of this world. Inside there was a huge selection of wine, beer, and snacks. Really glad we gave it a chance!

If your anywhere Downeast Maine and looking for breakfast, look no further! Just outside of Downtown Ellsworth over the river, this place is worth the stop! Don't be fooled, plenty of seats, great service and a breakfast that rivals ANY other I have had! Thank you to all the staff that are working so hard .

Don’t let appearances fool you, although this is a country store the restaurant here is surging up some of the best food in town. Fish tacos are a must have.

I would rate higher, the food was good, prices decent, although like many businesses now, trying to do the same work without the required personnel. The result was a lengthy wait in a busy cashier area to be seated, as well as a healthy wait for food. It is an enclosed porch heated dining experience, during my visit it was below 20 degrees outdoors, pleasant seated at the table. They appear to have a full bar for the restaurant, the restaurant itself, as well as a functional convenience store. Busy place, friendly staff, nice lunch, decent prices. I would return.

All the great stuff of a traditional roadside market in Maine, PLUS a great little sit-down restaurant with a diverse menu, and craft beers and a full bar! Owned and operated by a great family. A+

Fish tacos were excellent. My wife loved the teriyaki chicken dinner served w/ rice & fresh steamed veggies. Clam chowder, thick, chunky & loaded w/ class & potatoes. Our son loved the loaded nachos. Great food at a great price, as always!

Food was fantastic, not at all what I was expecting from a place lumped in with a country store. The salmon and veggies were cooked to perfection and had great surprisingly good flavor. My wife said the chicken salad crossaunt sandwich was far better and more filling then she expected. She was also very pleased that they had Boba drinks that were very well done and in a wide variety of flavors. Prices were very reasonable especially considering the quality. The environment sitting outside was clean and well kept with a decent view out back. My father got the steak and as everything else it surprised us with how good it was! The only thing that confused us a little was after you are done you go inside to pay, we sat at the table for a while waiting for our check before watching some other patrons just get up after they were done, not a huge deal though, at least we weren't rushed out the door. We will be going back again for sure!
