    The food was delicious as usual; our server Stevie was a doll, so personable and very attentive. We sat outside and it was perfect

    Always love the food and atmosphere. Service was very slow and inattentive, but assuming they were understaffed. Still overall a good experience.

    The place is as cute as a button, the food was delish (although overpriced), and the service was lovely. Since the majority of the seating is outside, and Austin weather is usually disgustingly hot and/or humid, it’s not a spot on my regular rotation. But we lucked out with perfect weather today and had a very nice lunch with old friends.

    Our server was horrible. Our group has been to Josephine house numerous of times so we know the 2 hour table limit. Our server rushed us as soon as we seated and became increasingly rude throughout our dinning experience. She bought out our steaks before the table was even done with the appetizer therefore it was cold when we were ready to eat it. And we still had over an hour left. There’s more but just saying she was rude is enough. We’ve never had poor service before and this experience has really changed our outlook on this place we’ve always loved going to.

    Quaint and charming house-vibe to enjoy a DELICIOUS meal. The shrimp and grits were some of the best I've had. Wait staff is very high-end professional. I look forward to more meals at this adorable place!

    We love Josephine House! The waitstaff forgot our appetizers, so we were there longer than we would have liked. They took full accountability and comped our apps!
