Was looking for a great Italian deli and shop in the area, and was pleasantly surprised by Josef's. Large selection of meats, really good sandwiches (maybe too full of deli meat.though perhaps a good problem to have), and lots of Italian specialties. Also, very kind and helpful people there. I'll definitely be back.

Joseph's has the highest quality meat around. The staff is always exceptionally helpful with all of their different cuts and how to prepare it. If you want great steak and sausage, look no further.

Went to Josef's like I always do and got some amazing Filet's! They never let us down with their cuts and selection! If you haven't been yet, you've got to try this place out. Absolutely, undeniably, amazing! Customer service is top notch! If you get there early enough, get some of their potato salad. It's to die for!
