Josie's Country Store & Cafe

Wonderful place for casual dining! The food was great, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. A great hidden jem!

The restaurant patios are a nice place to sit and eat. They had an interesting menu and some local craft beers. The service was painfully slow when we visited. We waited at least an hour for our food, and the server turned our request for "sauce on the side" of a child's poke bowl into "extra sauce" and was then entirely unwilling to fix the situation. We ended up having to assemble some unsauced fish from other bowls so the kid could eat. I might go back, but not if I'm in a hurry.

Super clean, bright, well-stocked store. The breakfast menu is just right—all the essentials plus a few pleasant surprises (for coastal ME). My breakfast burrito was seared golden brown, nearly like a chimichanga but the tortilla had no extra breading and was not oily. Perfection! I lived in New Mexico 21 years and ALWAYS have my peppers with me. Even though the burrito was very mild, it had a great fresh flavor. I didn't shake my habanero bottle over it even once. The people were very friendly. You can tell they have a deep sense of professionalism. I have a suspicion the Korean dishes would be outstanding. Next time I'm in the area I will find out.

Stopped in to get a cold drink and take a bathroom break. Very clean restroom. Nice people.

when my mom ordered a BLT, we made sure to let our server know that she has a poppy seed allergy with a severe anaphylaxis reaction. our server assured us that it's all good and that there wouldn't be any. her meal took the longest to come out - at least 10 minutes after the rest of us five got ours, and it was covered in poppy seeds (like an everything bagel). they kindly took it back and gave her a fresh new one. she inspected it quick just in case, and with a quick look there were 3 easy to spot poppy seeds - which would still be deadly to her, so she was unable to eat this one too. if she hadn't looked, and ate it, this would have sent her into anaphylaxis as we disclosed. she figured it wasn't worth the hassle so we got boxes, and she paid for everything anyways and left. i spoke to the cashier to let him know it wasn't taken seriously and he said "well there's poppy seeds all over the kitchen" which again, wasn't disclosed when we first mentioned the allergy to the server. i understand that this may not be a common allergy, but they truly are easy to avoid when one is aware and carefully preparing the food. just a warning for anyone who has a severe food allergy that needs to be taken seriously, it may not be taken seriously here.

Very friendly customer service. And I always ask you if you got everything just all around a friendly place fresh food takeout it’s amazing place I love itThis is the best store in Ellsworth. And the pizza and rest of food is amazing.

Always good food, the wait time canbea but excessive at times..wish they still did pizza

The food was e excellent!!! It was our first time here and we were not disappointed. I love the diverse menu. We ordered pretzel bites and lumpia(Filipino egg roll) for apps...both were delicious! I had sweet thai chili chicken and fried rice. The fried rice was not like what you'd get from a Chinese restaurants; it was savory with many vegetables. Very, very good! My daughter ordered a club sandwich. It was huge! Large portions allowed us plenty to eat and take some home. We will definitely be coming back for the dinner menu. They serve pansit, a Filipino lo mein, which I am very excited to try!

The best ahi burger I've ever had! Fries were awesome too!

Took forever to get waited on. Food was over cooked and took forever to get. Waitress only came back once to ask us if we were good. Nope could've used another coffee. Guy at register(owner?) Seemed too busy to cash me out taking his time on a phone call and then seemed to brush me off and never once said hey how are you today or like he gave a care at all! Even after I said hey how are you today! Just a blank stare and 0 response. Sorry for visiting relatives and spending money in your establishment bro!douche
