About Ocean Blue Oyster Bar Austin

Ocean Blue Oyster Bar Austin is a lively neighborhood restaurant known for its seafood and Asian-inspired dishes. Located in the same spot as the former Deckhand Oyster Bar, it offers a menu similar in style, with a mix of fresh seafood prepared grilled, broiled, or fried, alongside specialty dishes with Asian fusion flavors. The menu features items like Swamp curry with shrimp, yellow curry, and Tom Yum seafood soup, all praised for their authentic taste, great flavor, and freshness. The seafood quality is generally dependable, with dishes such as calamari, catfish bites, and La Frontera oysters receiving high marks for their tenderness and savory flavor.

The restaurant has a friendly, neighborhood vibe, highlighted by attentive staff and reasonable prices. The atmosphere is complemented by new pool tables, adding to its casual appeal. Customers often mention the gumbo as the best in town, and appreciate the well-priced drinks and welcoming environment. The place used to offer a wide range of Thai dishes, which has since been reduced, but some Thai favorites are still available.

Service is usually friendly and knowledgeable, and the staff are quick to address issues, such as a recent order glitch that was promptly resolved by the management. However, consistency in food quality can vary, as some customers have experienced discrepancies between orders, especially with dishes like Salt and Pepper Shrimp, which can differ significantly in portion and quality. Overall, Ocean Blue Oyster Bar Austin is a dependable spot for seafood lovers seeking flavorful dishes in a relaxed setting, with a welcoming staff and a diverse menu.

Went last night for the second time, and just like the first, it was SO good! Everything from the calamari, Tarzan sauce, pad Sew ew (sorry if that’s a little off) and crawfish etouffee, so so amazing. My husband and I couldn’t stop talking about it. Definitely try it out. You won’t be disappointed!

We came to the soft opening. Everything was wonderful. Matt and Robert are the best!! We will be here every week. So glad they opened in Kyle, highly suggest this place.

my husband and I are there Saturday and we've always been satisfied with the whole experience they provide. However we will never go there again! Our meal was 81.13 and my husband gave a 10.00 tip in cash . I paid and on the tip part of course put 0 since we gave her cash and the next day my charge was updated to 91.13.. First all the service provided was not 20.00 worth. The bacon bits asked for showed up at the end of the meal and refills ha never got.
