Josephine's

Worth the trip! Stopped by on our way home from IAH looking for some Louisiana style food. Success! The recipes actually are slightly Mississippi influenced, but in Houston it is surprisingly difficult to find seafood which is actually seasoned New Orleans style. Josephine’s does a great job. It was a little early this season for crawfish, so the shells were a bit soft and they tended a little small, and not quite as heavily seasoned as I prefer, but the market price was in line with the area and the flavor was good. They seem to combine the boil and steam methods, which is how I prepare crawfish as well, so you can ask them to add more of the seasoning if you want to. I found the flavor built over time, so I didn’t modify. Most critically, you can get a real po-boy sandwich here.

Food was amazing and there’s tons of parking in the front- get crabs fingers, shrimp and grits a little greasy and salty for me, the chicharrones from the tuna was stale but they fixed it and it was amazing. The chicken skewers had skin so made it tasty, the tuna is out of this world, always try the jerk fish collars it’s out of this world. The oysters have flair but a little dry- worth trying though- all in all an amazing meal. The jambalaya balls we’re not that special for Michelin place but it was good. Total bill for 9 people $400.00

"I recently had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Josephine’s with family and friends, and we were thoroughly impressed by the experience. Our server, Justin, was a standout - attentive, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu offerings. The appetizers were a highlight, particularly the jalapeño hush puppies, which were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced in terms of spice. And the homemade biscuits? Absolutely divine - flaky, buttery, served with a flavorful jam. As for the entrees, I opted for the seafood boil, which was pretty tasty. The seasoning was light, with just the right amount of kick, although I felt the mushrooms could have benefited from a bit more grilling time. My friend, on the other hand, raved about the BBQ blue crabs, which were a resoundi

The prestige and admiral oysters were excellent. We also tried the crab fingers and the crab rangoon. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the rangoon but the crab fingers are super unique and delicious, definitely do not pass them up! We had mahi mahi etouffe and redfish on the half shell. We will absolutely be back. 10/10

I was in the area on a whim and decided to look for a place to eat. After a quick search, Josephine’s immediately caught my interest. I lucked out on a Tuesday evening around 5:30 PM and was able to get a seat without a reservation (though I highly recommend making one). We started with the roasted oysters, which were very good and perfectly shucked. I ordered the muffuletta sandwich and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Overall, the food and drink prices are reasonable for the quality. Parking is limited to garage and paid street parking. Last but not least, we received phenomenal service from our server, Greg. He was very attentive and extremely knowledgeable about both the food and drink menu from beginning to end.
