Josephine House - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Jonathan Murphy: Visiting Josephine House to start the new year has become a tradition of ours. Generally speaking, I like it. The staff are usually great and the space is nice. I think the portion sizes might be on the smaller side given the cost of each dish. Their bakery items are great but will run out. It’s a popular place but the location doesn’t support easy parking near by so plan to have a walk over to the restaurant.

3 /5 Fatima D: Good food, well priced and what we tried was well balanced but they seated us in the patio’s “exile corner,” a boxed-in little nook that looks exactly like it sounds: wedged between a blank wall, a utility-style brick structure facing a whole lot of nothing. We actually had a reservation, and when we asked to move, we were told the nicer tables were “reserved”.....awkward, since those seats stayed empty our entire visit. The servers were lovely but couldnt make any recommendations, but the overall vibe had that quiet hint of “you’ll be fine out here,” which didn’t make us want to linger or sample more. We even thought about coming back with friends ...strength in numbers, right? ... but decided once was enough.

5 /5 Sarah Haight: Great spot. We had lunch. Parking sucks. Get ready to walk. DO NOT PARK ACROSS THE STREET IN THE LOT. They will boot your car and make you pay $100 to get it off. Anyway…this spot is perfect for a casual lunch or work lunch. They have a decent wine selection, tasty stuff. The food was good too, HUGE portions. You could easily share a salad with two people. Sandwiches and burgers are very yummy. Fries are obviously incredible. I’d recommend a reservation. Lots of cute outdoor seating with little cozy spots for intimate conversations.

5 /5 isabella grossling: I absolutely love Josephine house!! I go to their Monday night steak dinners. It’s a great deal and who doesn’t love a cozy wine Monday night?! The courses complemented each other very well. The salad was robust and filling. While the steak was cooked to perfection with some good ole fries. The desert was my favorite it reminded me of a Samoa Girl Scout cookie but fancy.
