We’re a little bit classy, and a little bit trashy. We’re Josephine’s Gulf Coast Tradition.
We serve what we know, are proud to be a steward of Gulf Coast resources, locally source ingredients and share the history behind them. We honor traditions of generations past while creating new traditions for future generations. We represent the cultures of the gulf states and support the industries that helped mold them.
We love telling stories of the people we learned from, the people we source from, and the people who inspire us. We strive to be a place where time slows, a place where people gather, and a place to celebrate traditions – old and new.

This place is going to be something truly special here in Houston. Everything here made my experience amazing! It’s perfect..literally everything was absolutely perfect from the decor/atmosphere, the food, drinks, and service.. just amazing! I can’t stop talking about how great the food is..I loved the gumbo and the Roasted oysters. First time eating oysters and I wasn’t disappointed! A must try..shrimp and grits, they were the best I’ve ever had in my life!! I’m not a fish person but the Smoked Red fish dip is addicting too And the corn flan.. omg, I don’t usually eat flan but this was so good! (I couldn’t stop eating to take pictures)

We really, really enjoyed ourselves at Josephine’s. First of all parking was so convenient with the option of street parking or garage parking. Everything from the decorations, to the furniture, to the music was tastefully paired to make an upbeat and unique dining experience. Lots of space to accommodate parties of all sizes. Each handmade cocktail was delicious and fairly portioned and priced. We recommend the Apothecary cocktail as well as the Sazerac. Food portion size is generous so keep that in mind. Menu is diverse to cover any palate. Our table ordered many apps to share. The crispy Brussels sprouts were delicious and a crowd fave. The BBQ shrimp was my favorite dish hands down. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the French bread was fresh out of the oven. We ordered the chicken on a stick which came with two generous chicken skerries and an order of hushpuppies as well and they were so flavorful and satisfying. You have to try the oatmeal moonpie for dessert!! We really enjoyed our time and would recommend Josephine’s for any occasion. We hope to be back soon.

They clearly know what they’re doing here. Raw oysters, shareable entrees (shrimp and grits were amazing), craft cocktails and great dessert. Felt like we were in New Orleans.

Amazing atmosphere, food, and drinks! My wife and I sat at the bar and had the pleasure of being attended to by the great bartenders. He suggested the Mama Roux and Cafe Du Lu, both wonderful drinks.

My fiance and I tried this place on a whim and oh boy did this place impress. The decor of the place gives it an upscale but with a homey vibe. So no need to dress up if you’re not in the mood.
