    We celebrated our daughter’s birthday at Joshua Wilton house today and had a wonderful experience. We were first seated on the front porch and quickly found out that the sun was pretty bright so they graciously moved us to the patio for our dining. The food was beautiful, delicious, and filling. The service was outstanding- frequent and kind. We will return!

    My wife and I were celebrating our 1st anniversary and they made it so special. They gave us a toast to start and then wrote happy anniversary on our dessert. These little things made everything else just that much better. We love Joshua Wilton House.

    Our waitress Tammy was out of this world when it comes to service, nothing bad to say about the food either. Best restaurant in Harrisonburg without a doubt. The bartender, Ryan, was informative and professional. Can’t wait to come back!
