I don't know how this place have a 4.7. The food is ok. The Mac and cheese is blended no seasoning. The yams are just yams. The meatloaf and rice and gravy is basic not a lot of favorite for me. And the CORNBREAD SMH Stop it. I took a bite and said NOPE. Customer service is wonderful from one of the ladies. The older lady I guess she is the Boss. She got a little attitude when I asked is the cake Red velvet. She said do you want a pieces. In my head I was saying that wasn't my question. Then she mumbled something , then I just said nevermind. So she decided to start naming all the cakes and said yes that is Red velvet. I still said no thank you I'm good. But she still tried. I said no thanks again she walked away and the other lady came and I paid. When I receive my food she gave me a piece of cake for free. When you don't react to people's attitude and humble yourself great thing happen. So when I received my food I had a free piece of cake in my bag. She know that she was wrong for the attitude because I gave her no attitude and I was very respectful. Then she came to me and asked where are you from. I tried here Atlanta. Gave me a safety-pin to put on her map on her board. Then started asking me what do I do. So when you're respectful and humble. People cannot get to you and they can see that. But the food 1-10 a 5. Come to Georgia for some good soul food. And the cake is very good.

The food was delicious! The owner was great and made sure we felt welcomed. We plan to visit again!!
Incredible lunch spot with delicious food and friendly staff. We were passing through town and wanted to eat at a local lunch spot. So happy we found the reviews for Josiah’s. The oxtail lunch (w/rice, gravy, cornbread and two sides!) was the best I have had in years.

I was very excited to try this place because I'm from the deep south and haven't found any good soulfood places here in panama city. Soon as I open the plate it looked like everything was out of a can. There wasnt any seasoning. The cornbread is white instead of yellow. The ribs was tough and undercooked and tasted old. The rice was mushy and had hard parts. Only half decent item in my plate was the yams. Also when you serving the public you shouldn't have a rude demeanor.

Good,hearty and delicious food. The owner was very down to earth, up close and personal in her kitchen talking to us while she prepared our meal. She made us feel at home. Great customer service! We will be returning.

I ordered the fried catfish, potato salad and greens. This Was the best fried catfish I’ve had in years! It was flavorful, not too greasy/oily and tasted fresh. The prices were very reasonable. The staff was very welcoming and gave me excellent customer service! I highly recommend Josiah’s if you have taste for great soul food and excellent customer service!

The plates are too small for the price. Not friendly at all. I want be going back. They let people skip the line and run out of food early. They don't cook enough food. We spend $98.00 dollars there and got very small portions.
