It's not necessarily my favorite place to go simply because of the price, and at times I do feel that some things are a little overpriced for what you get. That being said, they know how to cook a steak. The ribeye cap is my favorite--it's around $78, which is certainly not cheap, but it is absolutely delicious and worth trying if you want to treat yourself. The oysters are always good, and the crab cakes are delicious as well, although I have occasionally had to watch out for small pieces of shell in the crab meat. Overall, Café Josephine is a really good restaurant with excellent food. If you're looking for a nicer meal, don't mind spending some money, and want a great steak and seafood experience, it's definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for the price tag. The service is always top notch and the environment seems to be always loud.

The food at this lunch counter was fantastic! If I lived in Louisiana, I would eat here for lunch…read moreat least once a week. The quantity and variety of options was wonderful and very creative. All the sandwiches were named after Old Hollywood celebrities. Don't be put off by the antique store vibe, the food is delicious and the owner and help are so sweet. There are only five tables that I could see, each seating 3-4 people. We chose Back in Time because I wanted to try a muffuletta while I was in Louisiana. They did not disappoint! Their homemade olive spread was a delight. I wish they sold it by the jar and it would have come back to Oklahoma with me. While there we saw lots of repeat customers come in, which is always a great recommendation. Thank you, Back in Time, for such a great meal experience.

It's worth the drive from anywhere in the Acadiana area to come and visit this great establishment that has been here for years and years and years.

Sadly, the food was terrible. I had the Tuesday special and the breading was so thick that when I cut my pork chop, the breading just came off like a shell. And the shell breading was the only thing that had "some" flavor to it. The rest of it was just disappointing. The salad was good, but I noticed one thing when I was going to the bathroom- there was a tray full of already-made salads, like the one I got, and I can only imagine they just let it sit out there on the counter on the tray - I really hope not. The food was 2 stars! The ambiance is nice. I would say it's very pretty with all the exposed brick, but nothing more. The bathroom was clean. It's one stall, and it has a door and then the sink is outside of the toilet area. So it's really just a one person bathroom. Would I return? Definitely not. All in all- I give it 3 stars mostly because of the service.

This restaurant is not a prepackaged, boxed food, chain restaurant. In fact it's really special and if you take the time to drive here you should take the time to scan the walls. They are filled with accolades and awards won over the years. I have no vested interest in this establishment nor I don't know the owner/chef. I'm just another traveler passing through, looking at this place more as a living piece of American culture, while avoiding all of the fast food spots dotted along the roads. I wasn't there when someone served overcooked food, but I will tell you that if something wasn't quite right a mere conversation with the sever would've resolved the issue. Dealing out nastiness isn't serving anyone and it isn't helping the management make things better for your dining experience and it isn't serving the community overall. We found everyone to be very nice & efficient at their jobs. The 2 of us arrived Sunday, 8/16/26, at 1pm. We were greeted & seated by a pleasant young person, which promptly was followed up with our server, Lauren, taking and serving our drink orders. Our Salads, Crab & Crawfish Cakes soon followed and cooked as requested; cooked throughout with no soft, fleshy middle. We also ordered and shared the Grilled Chicken, green beans & carrots -- DELICIOUS! Lightly seasoned, juicy & very tender. It was the best chicken we've eaten in a very long time. We skipped desert since we had to get back on the road to Texoma; but, we will definitely seek this place out and dine here again in the future. I took as many photos as time allowed. I hope you will enjoy this beautiful, rustic space as much as we did and don't forget to ask the host to give you a page of history about the building. Safe travels and Bon appetit!
