Josephine House

“Josephine House is one of my favorite spots in Austin. I’ve been several times for breakfast, so I want to visit in the evening. I highly recommend the Huevos Rancheros, the sourdough with butter and homemade jam, and their blueberry muffin. We visited today for our anniversary, and they surprised us with glasses of Mercat Brut. It was so lovely that I ended up ordering a full glass. The atmosphere is always vibrant. The indoor space is cozy but full of energy, and the outdoor patio is beautiful when the weather is nice. I can’t recommend Josephine House enough!”

“Sandra was our waitress, and she was absolutely excellent. Her recommendation for the steak temperature was spot-on—it came out perfectly cooked. We ended up ordering three different dishes because everything sounded so good, and each one delivered. The food was beautifully seasoned, and the shrimp and crab cake tasted incredibly fresh. This was our first visit, and we were celebrating a birthday, which made the experience even more special. I really appreciated how intimate and beautiful the restaurant felt—it’s the perfect setting for small, one-on-one gatherings.”

“This is a great spot for having a thoughtfully crafted dish without it feeling like an overly fancy atmosphere. The food was fantastic and each had its own unique identify which helped to prevent the food menu from getting bloated. The starters which I took pics and vids of were all very yummy. The bread is made in-house and delicious with every dish. For the main meal I got the hamburger which was delicious and the bun didn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend this spot!”

“Such a nice dining experience. Sat outside for lunch. There are multiple porch areas in a decent sized indoor area. I looked at the baked goods were just out there for everyone to see. The food was delicious. Not a good thing or a bad thing, but I was just surprised at how the portion size is buried quite a bit. Everything was great that we had and I also love that they had Jono Pandolfi tableware (my fave). My friend made the booking, but I assume you gotta make a reservation because it was pretty crowded. Would definitely go back and expect to the next time I’m in Austin.”

“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 couldn't 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.”
