First time coming here and the experience was warm. Was met by the owner and his mother in law and…read morethey were both engaging. The ambiance was cozy and felt like a neighborhood spot that their frequent customers know, they can come here for their favorite dish. Decided to get their full order of fried shrimp and they didn't disappoint. They were fresh and they had just the right amount of seasoning to leave a lasting taste in your mouth. Definitely will be back to try something else from the menu.

Josephine's is listed as a Michelin recommended restaurant, and so we visited with some friends -…read moreit was a party of four on a Tuesday evening. I had pretty high expectations. We started by sharing a couple of appetizers - the smoked redfish dip and the biscuits. I'm weird about smells and aftertastes - and was hesitant to try the smoked redfish dip. The dip was flavorful and very smoky - the crackers it is served with were amazing. The aftertaste was tolerable, but a little fishy for me. The biscuits - I could write poems about them. I'd go back to eat baskets of just those biscuits. Highly recommend. My husband ordered the fried catfish platter - it was amazing. The catfish nuggets were crunchy and HOT (temperature), the fries were perfectly seasoned and the hush puppy was a crunch heard around the globe. Sadly, the shrimp and grits arrived to the table at room temp. The flavor was really good, but I was worried to mention the temp issue and have the kitchen nuke them in the microwave. The red beans and rice were similarly room temp and congealed. The restaurant atmosphere was lovely, the service was solid, and on a Tuesday evening we could have walked in and been seated quickly. Overall, it was a nice evening with our friends. Sometimes the company makes up for small disappointments.

My big family (12 people) came after a funeral's service without reservation and the restaurant was…read moreextremely accommodating with making sure we have good seatings and even adjusted it for us. I got the Campechana Extra (shrimp & crab) $20 - 5/5 My mother got the mesquite grilled salmon and was highly disappointed from how dry the fish was. She didn't want to complain so she just ate it. My partner got the fried shrimp AND THAT WAS DELICIOUS! The sauce that came with it was chef's kiss. Service was top notch, I forgot his name (sorry) but none of our drinks EVER went empty! Food came out at an appropriate time. Was a great time. It wasn't too loud that I couldn't hear people, the conversation was flowing just fine.

I was drawn in by the menu. I used to get "hot sausage" sandwiches in NOLA all the time, so I…read morewanted to try theirs. I got the sausage bun, and my wife got the shrimp bun. Both were well dressed and had plenty of meat! The bun is almost like a King's Hawaiian. We got key lime pie for desert and it was delicious. The first thing I noticed when entering was how clean everything was, and the two ladies at the counter were very pleasant and patient with the questions asked. The food came out fast and fresh, and the vibe while waiting for the order was really laid back. They give you a little buzzer to know when your food is ready. Definitely coming back the next time we are in the area!

Nice little spot near NRG. Very clean with some seating…read more The prices are very reasonable and fair. The workers are kind and happy to help. The po-boys were Huge. I got a size Large. I love a good oyster po-boy, but it is hard finding one that is reasonably prices. And with ACTUAL po-boy bread rather than sandwich bread. A place like this is hard to come-by with a true New Orleans touch and even name (Calliope). This is officially my go-to spot for oyster po-boy. I do like my po-boys drenched so I will have to ask for extra sauce next time. I am excited to try their other cajun options on the menu next time :) I saw others inside eating their seafood boils.

Guys, THEY MOVED!!! New location is about a 5-7 minute drive from the old one. Check the address…read more As always, the food and service never disappoint. My go-to is the Overload over rice. When I got home, however, discovered that it was over egg noodles this time. No worries though. We come for the cream sauce and the large potion sizes, not the carb that's included, right?! Also, they offer a new tea made in house with Pineapple and Peach. To die for. It is sweet but not aggressively so. The inside has about 3 booths and counter seating now. The location is on the end cap of a strip where Level One Fitness is, across the street from Young Women's College Preparatory Academy. The service is always stellar and personable. The owner is a couple. The wife usually takes the orders but on this day, there was a vendor assisting with the new cashless payment and menu system. There isn't a lot of parking so you'll have to park around the corner, on the street, in front of the church across the street. If you're lucky, you might be able to snag one of the few spots right in front of the door but that'll depend on if there is a group fitness class going on at the gym. So extremely happy that they now have a store front and have expanded beyond the back counter in the gas station. Will return soon for some more Pineapple/Peach tea!!!!
