Josephine’s

Dining at Josephine’s, a Midtown restaurant serving Gulf Coast cuisine, feels like a pleasant Southern-style dinner. With rustic-chic flair and stained wood tables, you can check the super prim and proper at the door. Have a refreshing redfish grilled on the halfshell, or keep it handheld with a spicy smashed boudin melt. And even after you’ve finished the last piece of French bread served with the BBQ shrimp, a few fries might find their way into the dark roux for some stealth dipping. And for the sweet tooths in the house, there’s the chocolate milkshake loaded with rum and bourbon, or a Mississippi mud jar for dessert.
