AFAR MediaFebruary 4, 2015Get a feel for the famous and historical Clarksville neighborhood with cocktails at Josephine. Stop by for a drink and an appetizer; choose the casually elegant dining room or the airy patio. Read more

Austin ChronicleAugust 5, 2013Staged with Southern Living nostalgia, Josephine House is the type of place where you can easily dither away the afternoon sipping iced teas and grazing on cool melon salads. Pricey, but worth it. Read more
Jenna CookMay 23, 2015Really cute place, clean, light, great service! We went for drinks around 6 and sat at a table inside, which was nice. Drinks were pretty good, not mind blowing- but absolutely worth going!
Staff PicksMarch 14, 2017"Imagine spirals of nutella and homemade bread dusted in sugar and there you have a nutella morning bun. The middle is the best part because that is where most of the nutella lives." - Chekmark East Read more
- Staff PicksMarch 14, 2017"Out of all the Mexican restaurants that have Huevos Rancheros, somehow I still find myself liking this one the best. It's the perfect crunch of the tortilla and sauce ratio." - Chekmark Eats Read more
Alyssa PFebruary 16, 2014Brunch was incredible- don't go without a fresh squeezed juice! Our table had the quinoa+poached egg, biscuits+gravy, & the breakfast burger. All the breads were fresh baked and delicious. Phenomenal!
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Its neighboring brother space, Jeffrey's, might have dibs on dinner, but Josephine House does the rest: brunch, lunch, snacks, and, best of all, cocktails on the front lawn in the afternoon. Read more

- Men's Health MagSeptember 16, 2014Josephine House does it all: brunch, lunch, snacks, and, best of all, cocktails on the front lawn in the afternoon. Throw on a seersucker suit and order Josephine's take on a Pimm's Cup.
- Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014Throw on a seersucker suit, order Josephine's take on a Pimm's Cup, and quote some Faulkner or maybe some McMurtry (this is Texas after all). Read more
- Outdoor VoicesMarch 7, 2016Josephine House serves popular favorites like avocado toast that takes a Texas twist by adding fried egg topped with hot sauce and lime zest.
RaniaApril 29, 2019Service and food is amazing. The rice bowl main course is worth it when adding steak, like having 2 courses in one.
B WDecember 5, 2014Awesome lunch menu-- I had the chicken pot pie. I will be back for happy hour. Adorable ambiance, great outdoor patio.- MitchNovember 26, 2018A relative had their wedding here. This is a small, private venue that serves very good food and was very nice.
Sabrina Consolascio-GarciaMarch 17, 2015A great brunch spot for locals. Service was friendly and the food was delicious 👍👍👍
