"At the Midtown restaurant, Josephine’s crawfish comes two ways: plain or wet. We recommend them wet and “all the way” on the add-ons. When your boil hits the table, expect the crawfish, sausages, and mushrooms to be soaked with the spicy Cajun flavors. The worst crime of Josephine’s crawfish is that it can run a bit salty, but it’s still a pretty enjoyable meal to twist and suck crustacean heads." - gianni greene, julie takahashi, chelsea thomas
"A southern Gulf Coast restaurant in Midtown known for its classic and spicy Louisiana-style boiled crawfish." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Helmed by chef Lucas McKinney, who came to Houston from Biloxi, Mississippi, this Midtown restaurant is a celebration of Gulf Coast cuisine. Self-described “a little bit classy, and a little bit trashy,” Josephine’s offers an array of dishes that harness flavors of the South, starting with appetizers like smoked redfish dip, jambalaya arancini, and hushpuppies. Order biscuits for the table before digging into mains, from the more casual po’boys and muffulettas, to the standout jerk fish collars dripping in chili butter and heaping sides of red beans and rice, collard greens, and macaroni and cheese topped with fried chicken skins and a dash of hot honey. And with crawfish season upon us, Josephine’s is a sure-fire pitstop, offering flavorful seafood boils, served dry (Louisiana-style) or drenched in a Viet-Cajun wet sauce that’s a buttery combination of seasonings and lemon. The cocktail and non-alcoholic beverage selection here, which, of course, include bottles of Barq’s Root Beer (also from Mississippi), are also a hit." - Brittany Britto Garley
"For some Southern comfort, head to Josephine’s happy hour, where from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., po’boys and seafood boils pair especially well with its $8 cocktails and $15 buckets of beer. If going for lighter fare, opt for its $1.50 Prestige oysters, and consider sipping on some wine. Select bottles of wine are 30 percent off." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Gulf Coast traditions hold true on Thanksgiving Day for Josephine’s, which is offering an a la carte menu with sides that feed six to eight people, including half-gallons of gumbo, red beans and rice, and collard greens, quarts of redfish dip with crackers, and buttery biscuits. Desserts include Southern favorites like Mississippi Mud, peanut, and chess pies." - Brittany Britto Garley
