★★★★★ 5.0 Linda Dekruyff · Jan 2026

We picked up our catering order yesterday, it included beef, Italian sausage, meatballs and chicken Vesuvio , and salad! Everyone loved the food! We pick up catering a couple of times a year and also utilize the deli, prepared meals, and meat counter! Everything is delicious!! Oh and they have great sandwiches they prepare per order!! Great for lunch!! The owners are always present working along with the staff, who are always friendly and courteous! If you haven’t tried Josef’s yet you need to!!

This place is everything you hope for in a neighborhood deli and more. A third-generation family business that still pours heart, soul, and pride into every sandwich and every customer interaction. They are always so kind, so accommodating, and genuinely happy to serve you — which is rare these days. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, made with care and attention to detail, not rushed or thrown together. You don’t just leave full, you leave feeling taken care of. Businesses like this deserve all the love and support in the world. If you’re lucky enough to live near this deli, don’t take it for granted. This place slaps!!! Get the chicken salad sandwich!!!

Wow what a little Hidden Gem this place is! Grabbed a sub sandwich. Great bang for your buck... excellent sandwich! Also has a stellar selection of fresh meats. Met one of the owners out front... great guy. This place knows how to do business! Will definitely get my business again! Highly recommended!

We stopped in for subs while in the area and they were outstanding. Very good value as well. Everyone working was so welcoming and patient with us newbies. We're excited to come back not only for subs, but also for some of their amazing looking meats and salads.

Found this place by accident while working in the area. It has the best fresh made subs, they are huge and delicious. I am on a mission to try them all. I also ordered a fresh pig for a pig roast and it did not disappoint. I have ordered from other places in the past and the one from Josef’s was the best by far. It was the freshest and most tender and all my guests agreed.
