50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Del Valle

“They guy that owns this was the main chef at Captain Ds iirc.I’m from New Orleans and his food is so good you can just go here and spare the trip for amazing Cajun seafood.I love the crawfish and shrimp po boys and the fish plates are amazing.Hush puppies on point and he even makes Fried Boudin Balls which you really must try.“

“Clark's is such a special spot. I personally don't love sitting inside because they have such a cozy little patio and I love sitting out there on a cool evening as the sun begins to set. It's surrounded by trees, warm lights, and neon signs. But we snagged a last minute reservation and all that was available was standard seating. They really set the mood as the evening progresses with the tea light candles and dimmed lights. We were greeted and seated immediately. Carrie was our waitress and she was friendly, attentive, warm and so easy going. It had been a while since I had dinner here but I knew I wanted crudo plate, it is probably my favorite item from the cold bar. Clark's is a treat. If you're on vacation in ATX, it's a must. Or on any day where you feel like having the freshest, delectable seafood.“

“Whew, pricey, but excellent upscale mediterranean. Terrific waitstaff, beautiful dining area. Parking is problematic, but not too difficult. Had the chicken kebabs and lamb/beef kafta. Well cooked and presented -- the lemon/onion beautified basmati was excellent. The sticky date cake is killer good!“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Metin during my recent visit, and I must say, his professionalism and efficiency were truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, Metin made us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of. His prompt service ensured that we never had to wait long for anything, and his attention to detail ensured that our needs were met without hesitation. Overall, our experience was greatly enhanced by Metin's excellent service, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Best food in Austin….no question about it. I wish Google let me give 10 stars. This was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life and I like to consider myself a food snob. Along with the exceptional quality of food, Phil provided exceptional service. We got a bottle of wine and didn’t refill our own glass once (on a packed night nonetheless) Ask for Phil and you’ll have a taste of a Luxury dining experience.P.s. get the a crab cake. Thank me later“

“Spectacular experience at the bar 6pm Saturday night 4/27! Walked in and every seat was taken at the bar, but one of the bar tenders saw that we were struggling to find a spot and immediately jumped into action. He welcomed us and let us know he's working on getting us in. He was able to rearrange a reservation on the fly and get us a couple of seats quickly, which was great because we were in a hurry to eat and make it to a show. The next bar tender then took incredible care of us with amazing drinks and super quick and attentive service. We got our orders in right away and the food came out quickly even though the place was busy. Crab cake was on point as it always is. The entire experience was wonderful, but the bar staff going above and beyond was what really impressed. Cheers to that crew!!!“

“This place is wonderful! Everyone is so incredibly nice and knows the menu so well. They make you feel welcomed.We had our anniversary dinner here and they gave us champagne and salad on the house.The food was extremely delicious! Every single bite of it. Best steak I’ve had. The caviar bites and tamale were amazing too! Coming back for sure.“

“I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with my experience here! Such a wonderful server and the food was absolute delicious the crab cake, oysters, mushrooms, creamed spinach, filet, and billionaire potato were top tier. I’ll be back in Austin next month and absolutely will be dining again!“

“What an experience!! This place deserves all of the hype and is definitely worth every penny!! My boyfriend surprised me with dinner here for our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond to make it such a magical and memorable night!!We started with some champagne, and then got the “nice spice” and another cocktail I don’t remember the name of but they were delicious and had so manny different flavor profiles.We ordered two of the warm crab tarts and they were delightful. My boyfriend ordered the halibut and it came with this smoked butter sauce that was absolutely to die for. I ordered the 8oz dry aged wagyu steak, it was so amazing, who knew you could pack so much flavor into a meal! We will definitely be back and will recommend to all of our familly and friends! Can’t wait to come back!! Thank you to the entire Hestia staff!!“

“I had a sensational experience at Este recently. Everything I had was absolutely smashing. The tamarind agua Fresca was lightly sweet and refreshingly sour. I tad the tuna tiradito and am still thinking about the charred allium sauce it was served with. The swordfish tacos were a revelation, the batter was similar to a light and crispy tempura. The lime semifreddo was a creative take on a key lime pie, and the mango tamarind gelato was real treat. I sat at the bar by myself, so I got to chat with the staff throughout my meal. They were attentive and clearly passionate about their work, and most importantly, I could tell from the way they interacted with one another that Este fosters a thoughtful and supportive culture. They were so helpful and gracious with each other, acting as a real team. I was so impressed overall, and I can’t wait for my next visit!“

“My family has to beg me to go outside and eat or even eat a food truck. We just left church to go eat as a big family with friends so I was out voted and thank god I was.I loved everything I ate. I was able to sample like 6 things since everyone got something different.The staff was so friendly too and genuinely seemed happy that we were satisfied. You could tell they cared.I’ll definitely return and since I travel through Austin for work I know where I’ll grab a quick bite.The young girl working was very sweet to us and even took a photo with my family as she was on one of my favorite shows.This place was a 10Lovely“

“3 Amigos Ceviche was really delicious with lots of very tender octopus! Aguachile verde with nice big shrimp definitely has some heat and was a generous portion. Owner gave us a taste of their soup too (thank you!!) which was a nice hot treat on a chilly day.“

“Milo and Fatih were our servers and they were wonderful! Ask for them. The food was marvelous - street corn ribs and tuna appetizers, mom had the sea bass which was divine and I had the steak salad - also wonderful. Great flavors and texture. I like how they redecorated the restaurant. Great place on the lake. Oh and the berry cobbler was so good! Great decaf espresso (yay decaf.) Thank you for a great night out!“

“I had dental surgery earlier that day and my mouth was in pain but I just kept eating. That's how good the food was. The server was awesome and wanted to make sure we were taken care of which isn't always the case at other places. The restaurant is beautiful and just what you would expect for an Austin Downtown Top Notch Steakhouse.“

“Came here to say with colleagues to celebrate a birthday while on a work trip. Incredible service from all the staff but in particular our waiter. Great recommendations on menu items and wine pairings. Be prepared that they ask you order all food at once and then they close it out for you. The wood fired flavor on the food from their special oven was extra noticeable and added to the ambiance. 10/10 recommend if in downtown Austin.“

“If you’re a seafood aficionado, Perla’s in Austin should be at the top of your must-visit list! Nestled in the heart of SoCo, this charming spot offers not only a breezy, upscale ambiance but also dishes that will sweep you off your feet with their freshness and flavor.I recently visited Perla’s with a group of friends, and we kicked off our meal with a mix of oysters and calamari. Each bite was a crisp, delightful start to our seafood adventure. For the main course, my wife enjoyed the sea bass, while I savored the halibut—both dishes were cooked to perfection, highlighting the chefs’ prowess with premium seafood.We didn’t hold back on the sides either; the grits, Brussels sprouts, and snap peas were exceptional. Each side dish was a standout, adding unique textures and flavors to our meal.The service at Perla’s deserves a special mention. It was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing. Our server made sure everything arrived on time, and the pacing of the meal was spot on, allowing us to enjoy our dining experience fully without feeling rushed.Overall, Perla’s offers fantastic food paired with top-notch service. It’s a true gem for seafood lovers, promising a culinary experience that’s as delightful as the ocean breeze. Whether you’re planning a casual outing with friends or a special evening out, Perla’s is sure to impress!“

“Went for the hot pot lunch and had an excellent meal and experience. The foods are fresh and colorful and tasty. Our server explained the hot pot process in detail and helped us as needed.This is a really cool place for lunch with a group or to sit at the bar. There are plenty of options for meats and veggies to satisfy everyone.Lots of easy free parking too so that’s a big plus.“

“Looking to satisfy your craving for authentic Cajun cuisine right here in Austin? Look no further than Everything New Orleans food truck! After a glowing recommendation from a trustworthy source, my barber Tyler, a New Orleans native, I decided to give this food truck a try, and I was not disappointed.I ordered the gumbo with a mix of chicken, sausage, and shrimp, along with sides of potato salad and cornbread. The flavors brought me straight back to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, with each bite bursting with authenticity and deliciousness.The gumbo was a true standout, rich and flavorful with the perfect blend of spices. The combination of chicken, sausage, and shrimp added layers of complexity to the dish, making it a hearty and satisfying choice. The potato salad was creamy and well-seasoned, providing a cool contrast to the spicy gumbo. The cornbread was the perfect accompaniment, with a moist and crumbly texture that complemented the meal perfectly.Everything New Orleans food truck truly delivers on its promise of bringing the flavors of the Big Easy to Austin. The food is prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in a dining experience that is both delicious and authentic.If you're in the mood for some Cajun comfort food that will transport you to the bayous of Louisiana, be sure to pay a visit to Everything New Orleans food truck. Your taste buds will thank you!“

“I had an exceptional dining experience at Salt Traders!From the moment we walked in, Larry, our server, made us feel welcome and valued. His extensive knowledge of the menu truly enhanced our meal; he guided us through each dish with expertise, ensuring we made the perfect selections.Not only was Larry knowledgeable, but he also added a delightful touch of humor to our dining experience, making us feel right at home. The food was exquisite, perfectly prepared and presented with care.The ambiance was inviting and cozy, creating the ideal atmosphere for a memorable meal. I highly recommend Salt Traders to anyone seeking top-notch cuisine and impeccable service. Larry truly made our visit unforgettable, and we can't wait to return. Five stars all around!“

“Best steak we ever tasted . We ordered the Tomahawk and it was cooked how we wanted it. Mashed potatoes and asparagus were well seasoned. Service was outstanding. They're very attentive. Atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Celebrated our anniversary , they even served us complimentary cake slices. Took a picture of us and gave us a complimentary copy with a card. Highly recommended. Definitely going back.“

“This I our second time coming to this establishment and they were just as amazing as the first time. The atmosphere is amazing and versatile. This is can be a perfect spot for a date, or a business meeting, or even just hanging out with friends. They offer a verity of food. You will see the basics like pork bell all the way to exotic items like octopus. And on top of that, the staff is amazing and super friendly. If I could rate this a 9/5 I would.“

“Beautiful place with ample parking and seating, unusual in Austin from my experience. Had a love lunch here with my wife. The food was delicious and the service great. Very attentive and knowledgeable, regularly checking in on us but without being overwhelming. Would love to eat here again when we're back in this part of town.“

“Had such a great experience here! Sat outside on a windy chilly night and the heaters were very warm and the screens blocked out the wind really well. Also no street noise + the layout of the restaurant keeps it from getting too noisy. The actual parking lot is kind of small and gets crowded around dinner time, but there's a paid public parking garage right across the street with lots of space. Paid $7 for 3 hour parking in the garage. The food and drinks were AMAZING. Luke recommended dishes/portions and was very knowledgeable about each dish. Would 100% recommend getting the Makum. Phenomenal dish. Tostadas with Sauces and vegetarian enchilada option were amazing as well. Everything was very well-made and had tons of flavor. Coconut horchata was also great! Service was very fast and everyone was incredibly kind. Luke and the host standing at front of the restaurant were very friendly and took great photos! Definitely a must-try Austin restaurant“

“This food truck is INSIDE Still Austin Whiskey Co | they use buzzers for you to pick up your food | their food is fresh and made to order (so come with patience) everything eas cooked to perfection - the burgers was perfect and fries were crispy on the outside and soft and mealy on the inside | definitely “

“It's a fun, largely family-style restaurant. We had the steak fajitas which were delicious, and then had the banana crepe flambé for dessert which was both delicious and a great show. Servers were both great (had two servers for shift change)“

“The food was amazing. The bartender fabulous. Definitely try the oyster dressed. Sat at the bar and enjoyed the conversation and the very knowledgeable staff. Fried green tomatoes each had a full shrimp and sauce was perfect. Definitely save room for the cheesecake.“

“This was a luncheon but dinner with my job and my first time here ever the staff was very consistent helpful and courteous my coworkers and I had a great time. Can’t wait to go back to try more food and the environment was very niceParking: There was a big parking space but it was busy but that’s to be expected at a great restaurant all in all it was still good“

“Everything about this place is incredible. It is delicious and authentic to all of us Northeasters who love our lobster and seafood. The Bar Harbor is the best value — sooo much lobster meat! Great value. Clean space, bright, friendly staff and service. Thank you!“

“Room 725 is a beautiful spot with a panoramic view of the city. The drinks are delightful and everything we had was a treat ? especially the lobster claws and Caviar which had a sauce that was divine and the tuna carpaccio melted in a flavorful bite. I wouldn't order the vegan Caviar again. It reminded me of Boba and didn't have enough saltiness to mimic Caviar making it pretty bland. Also it's a champagne and Caviar bar so don't expect to leave full but you will have a delicious time.“

“It's a delightful to taste drinks and food at this stunning space. It's design, service, and quality are very tailored and elegant. Please try the crab cake since it's all crab. The seabass options are amazing. The meat is also amazing based on what I saw.“

“Food 9/10 Service 3/10 Came here last week with a small work group of 8. The food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Soup dumplings are incredible as well as the fried rice. My complaint on the service is that they have "partners" for service and in doing so they share tables and are NOT efficient and actually quite the opposite. Half our table had drinks for 20 min before the other half got them because each of the servers thought the other was getting them. We asked for our fried rice quite literally 6 times and they just kept brining out the white rice says that the table only fits so many items. We kindly said we realize that, so take back the white we won't eat it and bring out our fried rice, it was like we were inconveniencing the servers. They brought out the fried rice LAST after nearly 2 hours of being there and no one was hungry anymore. If someone orders fried rice they want it with their main meal. Not brought out like a desert.“

“I definitely would give this a 4.5 because there’s always room for improvement. However, this East Coast sensibility, and the fact that the owner is from New Jersey New York area. The weight staff are perfectly trained. They don’t miss a beat. It’s refreshing to see this in Austin. It’s not common here.I ordered the crabcake and unfortunately had to give it back because it was too salty and they said it was premixed which I find strange at a restaurant like this. Why is anything premixed it should all be made fresh and which case then it won’t be too salty and should never be added to anything in this day and age don’t people get that? After that they exchanged it and I had the muscles which were divine in a sort of Louisiana style base which is not my favorite way to eat muscles I have to say it was delicious. The bread is fantastic, and it was chalk filled with sausage onion tomato, but the muscles were juicy they I think they were New Zealand muscles or from the Netherlands not sureI’ll definitely definitely come back for the steamers when they’re in season“

“I have loved Garbo's since they were a food truck that roamed the streets of downtown Austin. My favorite lobster roll in town (don't tell Clark's). Heidi, Sam, and Hannah have done a tremendous job expanding into the far reaches of our metro.“

“I enjoyed this food more than my trip to Canje. Oxtails were tender, coated with sauce and incredibly flavorful. Beef patty, although more closely resembling a large empanada, was stuffed with beef and had a pastry that was also super flavorful and flaky. Peas and rice under the oxtails slapped. Plantains were the perfect sweet bite in between to break up all the rich flavors. 10/10 recommend.“

“I was out on Rainey Street and since our group was hungry we decided to duck into the food truck park instead of finding a brick and mortar that everyone could reach consensus on. After walking around I decided on The Happy Lobster because I thought it was the best option and seeing it gave me a taste for lobster. I ended up not only getting the lobster roll but the lobster mac and cheese bites to bring back to my group. The roll itself was pretty good-the lobster was meaty and obviously with Texas being landlocked it didn't have the briny, freshness that you'd get from New England. The lobster mac and cheese balls was on the smaller side, but battered well and piping hot. I ended up eating another and liked it. If I were to go back to Rainey and was hungry I'd probably eat here, but that's a pretty big if.“

“First and foremost I would like to say that the MOD London was exceptionally good with her leadership skills in ensuring that my what began as the worst experience turned into one of the best experiences I have ever had at this establishment!! She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations in her customer service!! She made sure that one of her best severs Kiona I believe was the gentleman name was able to assist us with our needs. He was AWESOME and went above and beyond as well in ensuring the quality of me and my husband experience was catered to. He checked on us as if he had been waiting on us from the start which we were switched to this server due to our previous server lack of customer service! I would say I would recommend 10/10 also treat yourself to the crab and spinach dip with the soft garlic bread! I promise you will not be disappointed. I will be returning and knowing what I know that I will be assisted and treated with the best quality of service ever!!!“

“Occupying the kitchen inside Lavaca, Turf n Surf Po' Boy serves up some great seafood with strong Cajun flavors that will transport you straight to NOLA! Open late, they're great for post-bar munchies. The menu could get a little overwhelming at first glance, but the variety is well worth it. When the weather is good, it's nice to just stop by and order through their sidewalk window and eat at one of the tables outside. I'm personally a fan of their Naughty Cat Poboy, which is blackened catfish and bacon with all the fixings - it's just seasoned so well and really hits the spot. I also suggest getting their Fried Jumbo Gulf Shrimp, which are beyond fresh. A word of warning, though: their sandwiches could get REAL messy and start falling apart, with coleslaw getting all over the place, so be prepared!“

“We walked in at 6:43pm and they close at 7pm but that was no issue the person took our order my husband and our four sons the food came out fresh and tasted delicious. We will be back, nice and friendly environment felt like we were eating at home.“

“Everything about this place is awesome. My husband and I were blown away by the pricing, freshness and the friendliness of the staff. The restaurant was clean and food came out in a very timely manner.One thing to note is the small and medium bowl come in the same size but the medium has more fish so don't make the mistake of getting a small like I did on my first visit. Ultimately my husband and I went twice - and if our trip was longer and we came here earlier I would've gone here every day. There is something about a poke bowl that is unlike any other food. Just so refreshing and flavours that don't work with anything else!We ordered the classic tuna. Absolutely stunning flavours and such a pretty bowl. The fish is top quality and the sushi rice is so flavourful. It is beyond addictive. The second bowl we ordered was the wasabi ponzu salmon. I am not really a salmon girl but this was so tasty. The sauce really brought the whole bowl together. You also have the option to create your own bowl which I thought was really cool. The menu all sounded great but if you want to try your own - you can!Definitely check this place out. You can't go wrong with the kind staff, quick service, fresh flavours and happy atmosphere. Hoping my hometown gets something like this ourselves. I crave Pokebowls!“

“I love this place! So delicious! So fresh! Micheladas are ? Covered seating. There is also Birria Love next to it and it is delicious too.Parking: Gotta watch the traffic on FM 812. Lots of trucks and people hauling butt. We were at Birria Love this past week and an accident occurred right in front. Didn't see it cause the sitting area us fenced in.“

“It’s good poke. We stop here every time we are in town. My husband will drive down from Dallas to Austin for this poke. Enough said.Fish-tastes fresh and clean.Rice-idk what they do to this rice, but it is delicious.Take a bit of rice, take a bit of poke, eat. It is a magical blend of deliciousness.“

“My boyfriend took me to Otoko as a surprise for our anniversary and new years eve. All I can say is WOW! It’s difficult to eat normal food after such an incredible experience, I can’t stop thinking about it. The service was absolutely fantastic, very intimate and personal which I loved. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I loved the entire omakase. Every dish I tried was like magic to my tastebuds. I was exhausted after a 16 hour flight the day before and this dinner truly brought me back to life. My boyfriend got the omakase with wine pairings and I got the sake pairing. I will say it is a lot of drinks, but each and every one was well thought out for each portion of the dinner. I hope to come back again and again!“

“Opa! Such a beautiful environment, the parking can be off putting but there is plenty next door. The food was delicious, I enjoyed everything. There was entertainment and a magic show while we waited for our meal. I would recommend going and trying something different, I found out I really like eggplant on this day. Lol Plus their Tzatziki is the best! So fresh and delicious ?Parking: Their direct lot is small, but next door you can park at the church.“

“Cozy little spot that's good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I met a friend here for lunch and I ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer- which were very yummy!! I then ordered the shrimp and grits for my entree, which was also good! The tap water does taste rather dirty, so I opted for a bottled Mexican Coke instead. The prices are reasonable, the staff were attentive, and I'd love to come back here to try their breakfast.“

“This truck is outstanding. Get the stuffed catfish plate, you won't be disappointed. The fried catfish, the boudin, and the mac and cheese make for a heavenly explosion of flavor! The wings (I got the hot honey) left a bit to be desired, though, so I can only give 4 stars.“

“I actually worked here YEARS ago but I am coming at it from an outsider’s perspective despite anything that happened in the past. I don’t even think the manager I worked under is there anymore. I came back to try it again for the first time in a while. Still pretty much the same menu they’ve had since. The food is pretty good. They have decent menu options. I will say I’ve never had a bad meal there. Not the BIGGEST portions ever but decent amount nonetheless. This location is definitely small. Small building with a few tables and like…one or two wooden tables right near the lot. Not the best. Not any nice outdoor setting. So…generally, worth a try. The guy working that last time I went was pretty friendly. I will also say it was kind of tough eating the poke out of the pint containers (had to mix it up out of them). I took it to go to have it at the park and it was definitely hard to mix cuz it was so full in that small container. So. If you’re eating it there or going home and using another bowl, that is best. Still possible but … some rice fell out while mixing. HahKid-friendliness: Just a restaurant so…kid friendly.“

“Wanted to say that the calamari I had here is some of the best I've ever had! Been to some places where it's a tad too chewy. As a texture person, that's a hard pass lol. But this calamari was fried to crunchy perfection! Ordered it on a whim and was pleasantly surprised Lobster Mac and cheese was good, according to my partner-- I just don't think the flavor is for me. Burrito was really good. I've been here in the past and had one of the lobster rolls, not pictured, which was incredible. Overall this place is a tad on the pricier side, but definitely worth it, and does not miss! Would recommend making a reservation in advance. We were walk-ins and had to sit outside. The outdoor tables by the walls have heaters. But the other seats don't. Could be a cool spot for your kids to play at the playground while you eat, too“

“Absolutely love this food truck. I grew up in the area and now drive down from Round Rock every once in a while for the nostalgic experience. They serve delicious authentic Mexican food, coming from a family that grew up eating such foods on a daily basis. The caldo the pollo ranchero is tasty, their corn tortillas are delicious, the barbacoa, the tacos de tripa (you can ask for crunchy and they are perfect), the cheese in the quesadillas is delicious, not the flavorless mozzarella you get at other “Mexican” restaurants. The people as super friendly and patient, it feels like I am talking to family, and the seating they have is covered. I hope one day they will expand a little further north because I have failed to find anything that comes close to their food closer to home.Edit to add that there is a review saying that it floods when it rains and my last trip was around 8pm on a Thursday while it was raining, it was not flooded and they were open. Another note that yes the price averages $3 a taco which is super reasonable and if you buy tacos you would know this. I’m not sure where you can get tacos this delicious for less than $3 dollars.“
