"I went with my mom and we got their DELICIOUS clam chowder. We ordered and were served so quickly. They have live music some nights so that can be fun to listen:)
We also had their fried pickle spears and they were delightful! The owner came and talked with us and was very kind!!"

"I came to listen to live music. What a cool little venue Bruce & Cathy (owners) have created. I had the small (3-piece) fish & chips with sweet potato fries. The fish is beer-battered. The pieces are huge. It was super yummy. The peanut butter pie is to die for. It has a tangy cheesecake taste. My server, Jackie, was fabulous."

"The last few times I’ve been to Joshua’s have been progressively worse than the previous visit and I don’t think we can justify coming back. When we arrived for breakfast and asked for a table for 8, the hostess got visibly upset and acted like she didn’t want to seat us. As a former server, I understand a big table is stressful when you’re short staffed (which seems to be a chronic issue at Joshua’s) but it’s not okay to make your customers feel bad for patronizing your business.
The short staffing conditions at the restaurant seem to be really hard on the servers and I really feel for them. It’s not easy to serve a full restaurant and host at the same time with only two people. I think that things would run much smoother if the owners would hire more staff, it would certainly create a much better experience for everyone.
Anyway, once we had our table it took a very long time to place our orders, and once our food arrived things were missing and orders were incorrect. Additionally, some of the food was undercooked and other food was super overcooked. We also overheard customers at another table remarking on their food being improperly cooked. I thought my omelette was cooked properly but apparently not as I am suffering from what seems to be food poisoning."
