The 10 Best Seafood Restaurants in Austin, Texas

Here is a review from an user.

I knew this was going to be good from the moment I picked up the food! The smell was amazing. It was a perfect meal for a chilly day. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Not usually a huge grits fan, but this meal was gone in under 5 minutes! Looking forward to my next order 🤌

Been excited for this new restaurant to open up. Shrimp po boy was great but the grilled shrimp shrimp alfredo was amazing! The ginormous Margaritas were perfect!! I typically don't like most restaurants sweet and sour but whatever restaurant this one uses is great and taste homemade. Everyone was super nice the staff was amazing and very attentive. This will definitely be a regular spot for me.

Great authentic Mexican food with good service and English menu's. The Restaurant name is a bit misleading as it also has breakfast and other great lunch options. Would definitely recommend going here if you're in the area.

Second weekend in a row to devour these delicious crawfish. They’re spicy, they’re full of flavor, easy to peel, great price, all around incredible crawfish experience!! (Disclaimer, I grew up in East Texas eating crawfish from Louisiana, lived in Dallas for years and LOVED Nate’s Turbo crawfish) Pop’s has the best in ATX, hands down! Only 4 weekends left to getcha some!!!)

If you’re looking for quality seafood and a chill outdoor environment for lunch, HIGHLY recommend this food truck. Friendly staff and incredible food. My favorite are the Grilled Fish Tacos. Yumm

Just had a Maine Lobster roll from their truck at Meanwhile Brewing. It was really good. I would have paid extra for a little more on it as I am used to extra fat lobster rolls. After I had it I see I could have gotten a second one for a discount. Next time I will have two. Really wonderful.

Absolutely amazing dining experience! I would advise going with a few good friends and sharing several things. Pick a few things that peak your interest when you get there and just add as you go. There seriously is not one bad item on the menu. The milk and cereal dessert was phenomenal. The staff are also amazingly helpful and knowledgeable and happy to explain and make suggestions as they bring items out. A definite must whether you're visiting or live here and worth the price. I can't wait to return again!

Great restaurant! If you go here you will have an amazing date night ! The atmosphere was romantic. Excellent presentation and staff, their service is amazing ! Juan paid attention to us and was a very professional server, the whole staff really was. They’re serving fresh food, and got live music on Wednesdays and Friday’s! Totally recommended. Yeah, def worth a visit !

Listen up ppl! Once you start coming, you will not be able to find another local spot with authentic Hawaiian culture and taste! The owner Lauren, brings the knowledge and delicate traditions from her island of Oahu straight to the South Austin! You can’t go wrong with Loco Moco at breakfast time, Teriyaki Musubi for a quick lunch/snack, or the BBQ Shoyu Chicken for dinner. Don’t sleep on the Mac Salad or the Li Hung Pineapples; fantastic options for each dish! Be sure to check the website before you order to ensure your food item isn’t sold out for the day since their hours are dependent upon the food they sell! Enjoy 😉

Best lunch decision we’ve made in a WHILE! We got the Fish & Shrimp Sando w/ the Crab Quesadillas and holy mackerel were they all absolutely delicious! Couldn’t be happier with the location of the truck as well. Plenty of seating area that’s out of the sun and free water provided as well!

First time but for sure not last. Thanks Robert for such great service. The place its so romantic. You get some bread and butter as a welcome and it is delicious and fresh. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and ordered: Caesar Salad / delicious Bone-in Cowboy Rib-eye $/ Grilled asparagus $/ Truffle Fries $/ Our drinks were non-alcoholic drinks: Mango Fizz / Pineapple Ginger Ale / (they put some mint it is just perfection)

Went to Eddie V’s to celebrate my birthday. The inside is very elegant and romantic. Service was great to go along with great tasting food. The dessert was phenomenal! If you want to take out a couple for dinner and impress them, Eddie V’s is the place. Since this location is downtown, I suggest you get valet parking

Unbeatable staff ~ super friend, nice and professional. Food was amazing and chief accommodated a special order for out little guy. Room is nice and warm, but not too noisy. Lighted menu and check was a nice touch. Stone Crab was as good as any you’d get in Florida, | personally was impressed that they gave you a size selection. First Class Restaurant, First Class Staff ~ well worth it.

Awesome dining experience and spectacular food! We had bone in ribeye, crab fried rice and au gratin potato. Banana foster was on the house as it was my birthday. So good! Will be back!

Indescribably good food. Perfect for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day. Very accommodating staff. Excellent dim lighting vibe. It doesn’t get any better than this for what it’s worth including great portion sizes.

This restaurant is great. I had the gumbo, catfish poboy, boudin balls, and crawfish bread. My wife has the crawfish etouffee. The gumbo put mine to shame, the catfish on my poboy was cooked to perfection and not hard and over fried. The crawfish bread was amazing and will probably be better tomorrow morning for breakfast.

We had to reserve seats because it was crowded! I understand why. Friendly and clean atmosphere, from the time we walked into the door to our waiter. He was really good and the food was served quickly! Our meals were seasoned well and tasty. Next time we are in the area, Cypress Grill will be our choice

We have had Capital Grille a few times in the past year. We decided we wanted to try this place when we had the urge to feel *upscale and fancy*. We made reservations which wasn't too far in advance. To be honest, I'm not much of a steak person. I never understood what the big hype was and (please forgive me) only really wanted steak for A1 sauce. This restaurant has forever changed me. The steak was remarkable! That one steak changed my mind about steak forever. Granted, I'm no steak connoisseur so take my word with a grain of salt. But, I still talk about it months later. Their sides are also pretty spectacular. I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese and brussel sprouts. And their desserts are pretty good, too. The service was excellent. I requested a low-key birthday dessert for my husband that was really special and sweet. All of the waiters and hosts were friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. The food and service was perfect and we definitely will be going here more in the future.

We ate lunch here. I had the fish tacos and my husband had the shrimp enchiladas. Both dishes were fresh and very good. My flour tortillas were cooked such that they had a cheese crust on them which made them quite unique and tasty. Mine came with a rice made with rice, spices, and cheeses. Since it was our first time in the restaurant, they gave us a free dessert (key lime pie). The pie was equally delicious. Service was very fast and the wait staff were very friendly. We will definitely return.

Mongers has been a favorite for a while. Usually stop in for great cocktails and oysters on the half shell. Recently visited with friends and had a fantastic meal. The tempura fried soft shell crab was best I can recall having, ever. Everything is exceptionally fresh and delicious. Only really minor complaint, the reservation system is weirdly persnickety and threatening when there’s nothing to be threatening about?? Otherwise nothing but great things to say about this place. Food and service are fantastic!
