Editorial Review for Josephine Street – by Pableaux Johnson
The Scene
Steaks and whiskey. This is the uncomplicated promise of Josephine Street, which is conveniently spelled out in neon across the main windows. Josephine Street, in a renovated market building just off U.S. 281, is the archetypal neighborhood bar and grill. The main dining room houses a huge indoor tree trunk, and in keeping with its next-door neighbor, the Liberty Bar, the booths tilt at improbable angles. Outside, a few more picnic-type tables bask in the glorious view of the McAllister Freeway overpass.
The Food
The fare is as straightforward as the signs suggest. Steaks--sirloin, ribeye, filet and, of course, chicken-fried--are the specialties, and they're served up on heavy china platters. The servers are careful to point out the fat/meat ratios of the different cuts. The large ribeye was cooked a juicy medium rare and came topped with a single thick-cut onion ring, picture perfect in a cornmeal crust. Jim Beam was this meal's suggested dinner partner. Chicken and fish options exist for those who prefer their meat off the hoof.

I ate here for the first time when I was 15...I'm running up on 30...and I still say that Josephine St is the best place to eat. There's something about eating at a steakhouse that feels like home. It makes you want to sing Willie Nelson songs and dance on the table....You'll have that much fun....Not a lot of room though, but the staff have personalities beyond your expectations....I reccoment it to everyone....LOVE the taters...
Pros: Ambience, Service, taste
