We really enjoyed our experience at Hula Hut. The concept is a Mexican–Hawaiian fusion, so it’s not traditional Mexican food, but a mix with a tropical twist. If you are looking for very authentic Mexican cuisine, this might not be the place. However, if you are open to trying something different, it’s definitely worth it.
We ordered the big platter and it was very good. The portions were quite large, perfect for sharing. The flavors and presentation were well done.
The atmosphere is one of the best parts. It’s a very picturesque place, especially because it’s close to the lake. The service was attentive and efficient. Overall, food, service, and atmosphere were all very good. It’s a great spot to enjoy a nice time in Austin.

My husband and I ate here recently for the first time. Also our first time at Lake Austin. HH is amazing in every way! Atmosphere, decos, right on the lake, scratch-made food, great quality, great customer service, large portions... wow! We enjoyed it all and will definitely be back on another Austin trip. Parking is a little tight but they have an overflow across the street.

Excellent Tex/Mex/Seafood restaurant on the Riverfront in Austin, TX. We come here for the great food and lively atmosphere. Beautiful and tropical inside and outside on the waterfront. Would recommend 100%!

They double charged us and are making it super hard to be refunded for this! On top of that, food was mediocre and my bf found a bug on his pickle

We are currently looking to move to Austin, we came in for dinner and was sat immediately, the environment is comfortable and has cool decor! Our server Miguel was absolutely amazing! He made time for us as a table and really made us feel welcome and comfortable, he made time to talk to us about sights to see and things to do, areas to stay away from and overall was the one of the best servers I’ve ever had. I absolutely recommend coming here and ask for Miguel!!!

Stopped I. For a drink after walking the dogs. The area was decorated really nice for Xmas. Got some free chips and salsa. Had the painted Donkey Punch and watched the Gopher game which was fun being from Minnesota. Cool spot check them out

Hula Hut Austin is a great spot with a nice lake view. The Hula Platter was delicious and definitely a highlight. Cocktails are good, and the service was good as well, making the overall experience enjoyable.
The food has gone downhill. Our waiter was great. Other staff were so-so. The side salad they served with some dishes was soggy and did not taste good. Wish they were as good as they used to be.

Been enjoying Hula Hut for decades with family and friends. It always feels like the 1st. Lakeside at its best.
