"Looking for your new favorite restaurant in Flagstaff…. Josephine’s is at the top of the list. Seriously, We can not say enough wonderful things about Josephine’s. The food and service and atmosphere are unmatched and deserving of more than 5 stars. Every dish had impeccable flavor. The Halibut and short ribs were cooked to perfection and melted once it hit our mouth and the flavor was a culinary delight. We will be back and sharing our amazing experience with everyone we meet. Thank you Josephine’s for bringing quality food and customer service to Northern Arizona. Cheers!"

"Food was excellent. First time coming here from Sedona and we will be back. Ate the entrees and appetizers so fast, I forgot to take a photo. Calamari is good and the crab cakes were good too"

"We had a nice dinner at Josephine's. The crab cake as a appetizer was my favorite. I loved the spicy jalapenos sauce. Also the main course filet mignon convinced me, the meat was on a high quality level."

As a fellow Celiac, a few more great fancier options are Atria, which has been delicious and Josephines, lovely patio and great brunch. Also I want to add the new beer garden at Dark Sky, Atmospheres, has gluten free fried food (safe, I believe only fried items are gf) they are doing true gastro pub type fare and it's the only place I have gotten fried cheese curds since my body tried to start destroying itself.

This down-home and local restaurant is a fan favorite among tourists and those who have been going here for years!. After opening in 2002, Josephine’s took off as one of the most popular sports in the entire area due to its American food and large portions. We recommend getting the queso fundido to split with the table, featuring creamy melted cheese, chorizo, spinach, and fresh vegetables.
