“Yes I had my moving company and family and friends come to the great establishment💜!“

“Exceptional omakase. One of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The chef is extremely personable and kind. Made me feel incredible comfortable throughout the whole experience. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The food itself was absolutely delicious. Every single nigiri was exceptional, with wonderful rice texture. The fish itself was always excellent quality and the sauces lightly coated on each fish were excellently paired with the flavor profile of the fish itself. Drinks: I did the sake pairing which had two options, a standard pairing for $80 iirc, and prestige pairing for $100. I did the pairing for $100. It was outstanding. My friend opted to do the prestige wine pairing ($110); she thoroughly enjoyed that pairing, as well. After the 22 courses, we went back the bar/lounge area and opted to finish our night with a glass of or Born Gold sake. The service team was incredible throughout the meal. Their presence was very low-key, but they were informative and really kind. Will absolutely be returning in the future.“

“One of the best happy hours and burgers in Austin!! We came in on Wednesday at 5pm without a reservation and they were so welcoming and found us a seat by the window where there was great people-watching. I will definitely be making a reservation next time we dine here because this place is popular during happy hour and I can see why. We had the raw oysters from the east coast, clams michelada, tuna tartar, hush puppies, burger with fries, dirty gin martini, and a bottle of wine (50% off during happy hour!) I strongly recommend the raw oysters, burger with fries, and tuna tartar as well as the martinis. Really loved the food, atmosphere, and staff. We will be back!“

“Some of the best food I’ve tasted. Those oysters are mind blowing! Great staff.“

“The food and service were impeccable. We had a a terrible expense at a competitors and left without ordering, we came to Dean’s and they seated us in the bar right away and proceeded to make our experience 10/10.“

“Fiancé and I went there for our anniversary and it was a treat! The table was set up with rose petals and a cute personalized card that read “Happy Anniversary”, we appreciated the detail.
We had Leena as our waitress and she was SO knowledgeable, she recommended a few things for us and we were beyond satisfied. I like the new place too with more natural light.
We will come back to this place!“

“I saw The Shore on my Google map and clicked on the link. I saw their Happy Hour Menu and noticed they had 1/2 price Oysters and several other choices. We decided to stop there on our way back home. We got there at 3:30 and found that they would not open until 4 pm due to an earlier water leak. We asked if we could just sit at the bar until they opened because we really wanted to have oysters for our anniversary. The manager said since we were wanting oysters we could sit at the bar and get drinks and the oysters. Chef Cody explained all the different oysters offered and we decided to let him choose the oysters and we were not disappointed . He chose the gulf coast, summer time, Black moon and pink moon. All the options were fresh tasting with just a touch of saltiness . We also had the mussels with fries. We have not had mussels this good in a very long time. the broth was thick with butter, wine and capers. The grilled ciabatta bread was so buttery and crispy we ordered additional pieces. The calamari was lightly breaded rings and tentacles and were heavenly. We also tried the Hi Mexican Lager on tap, it was light and smooth. Our bartender was very sweet and helpful with our choices. We also would like to thank the manager who being so accommodating to us and making our 42nd anniversary so special. We will definitely stop there again!!!!!“

“Very nice mediterranean options, would recommend.“

“I recommend everything. I’m at the one at I-35 and 290 in Austin Texas. I used to come all the time back in 2008 when I lived here. To my surprise on a work trip it was next door to the hotel. I’ve since developed Gluten allergies and my undying craving for crawfish was being disappointed until the very sweet bartender said we can work with this. Let’s find some options and I’ll get the manager and figure it out. The result was awesome!! Sautéed in butter and seasoning with a baked potato. Fantastic! Help from the bartender the manager and kitchen saved the day!!!! Craving well satisfied. I can’t recommend enough. Great food. Amazing staff, beautiful ambience.. excellent experience. Thank you!!!“

“This is the best catfish in the city and the quality of the food is amazing and they have music and alcoholic beverages if that’s what you prefer I’ve ate at a lot of catfish spots around Texas and by far this is the beat“

“Fantastic quality and fantastic people to work with. The very best in Austin!“

“Great place with friendly service. The food was amazingly fresh.“

“Beaux Southern Seafood is an absolute gem and easily one of the best seafood restaurants I have visited in the Austin area. The menu perfectly captures the spirit of Southern coastal cooking with dishes that are bold flavorful and deeply satisfying. Every bite we had was fresh and expertly prepared and you can tell that real care goes into sourcing quality ingredients. The portions are generous and the presentation of each dish was beautiful without feeling overly fussy. The restaurant itself has a wonderfully warm and inviting ambiance that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Our server was knowledgeable passionate about the menu and made excellent recommendations that we were very happy with. The drinks menu also impressed us with some really creative options that paired perfectly with the food. Beaux Southern Seafood is the kind of place that sets the standard for what a great seafood restaurant should be and we will absolutely be back.“

“I love this place. So happy to have found it and the Madras Chicken is divine. So happy that I can order it extremely spicy. Makes me dance in my seat!!“

“PERFECT!!! That's what describes last night's experience at Bartlett's. My wife ordered the Fish and Shrimp with a small Caesar salad and I got their Famous French Dip sandwich. Everything cooked to perfection!! Our waiter Jeff L was right there every we needed something. An EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE (Again). Have been coming here since 1984 and never a bad experience.“

“Best seafood in Austin area and worth the price. Great for both eat in or take out. Our family enjoys their seafood both ways!“

“The food was excellent, especially the pasta with crab! Our server Miles was attentive and had great recommendations. The restaurant's vibe is perfect for dinner, and it definitely lives up to the hype. The pasta comes in two sizes, and the larger one is great for sharing. I can't wait to come back!“

“Friendly staff Excellent Food“

“Cypress Grill is my favorite Restaurant. Everything was excellent. The food was delicious today and you don’t need any improvements.“

“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!“

“Not only was the staff super nice, the food was amazing! Great quality all across the board!“

“We’d hoped to go to Mozarts next door but it was sold out for Christmas Lights. We decided to try Quince since we had spent time getting there and parking. We asked if we could sit near the water and they took us to a table one row away (the rest was booked). Happy Hour was almost over but our waiter Baddi said we had enough time to order. He recommended a margarita/sangria mix which was yummy. We ordered the HH brisket fries and Tuna Wontons. Everything was delicious and Baddi’s service was excellent. At one point the music got really loud, which started to annoy us, till we looked out over the water and a slack rope walker was performing over the water. It was quite a show! He later did the same thing over one of their outdoor decks on the other side. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and were surprised so few of the indoor seats were full. If they opened their door and made it more welcoming, we thought a lot more people would have come over as the outside areas were packed for the lights.“

“We use to go to the Rockport/Fulton location all the time. We saw this in Austin….really…. Had to try it….it was good, not as good as the old place, very corporate. But the food was good and the service was good. It sure made us miss Benny though.“

“Soupleaf is one of the best hot pots around. Delicious broths with veggie/vegan options, tons of veggies and noodles AYCE style, and availability for included AYCE seafood at the bar, plus meats they bring out to you (if you’re into that). Unlimited sauce bar, rice, noodles…everything is included. They also have fruit and soft serve for dessert. You can top off your broth with a different variety where most other places will charge you extra for a different broth flavor. I also love that they have a different price point for their “Sealeaf” if you just want veggies and foods from the AYCE bar without any meat. Very vegan/vegetarian friendly place, but I’ve also brought meat eaters and watched them rub their full belly while rolling out the door. Great value, taste, variety of fresh ingredients, a consistently good experience.“

“Toda la comida está muy rica“

“Awesome night with family🥰 delicious food😋 just great everything on point 😍“

“Place is great! It’s consistent with the service, food and atmosphere. Every single family and friend we’ve gathered with absolutely LOVES this restaurant. We have been coming here for years and the tourists that feel it’s a “tourist trap” need to understand what type of restaurant they are walking into- local, great food, service and family owned. Knockout martini is amazing, Bob Armstrong dip is unbeatable. The burritos and beef fajitas are the best by far. We will continue to support Austin’s favorite Tex mex restaurant and clearly the people that matter will too.“

“I had my birthday dinner all by myself there the other night. They were very accommodating. The food was excellent. The waiter Chris who was also working the bar was very attentive even with juggling multiple customers both at table tops and at the bar. And some mystery person bought my dinner for me! He came over and said somebody who wants to remain anonymous would like to pay for your dinner tonight. So if you are a single lady going out solo for your birthday, I suggest going there cuz you never know maybe somebody will buy your dinner too!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at III Forks in Austin, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was meticulously crafted and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delightful journey of taste, showcasing creativity and a deep passion for culinary excellence. What truly set III Forks apart, however, was the service. Our waiters not only exuded warmth and genuine hospitality but also possessed an extraordinarily impressive background knowledge of every item on the menu. Their detailed explanations and insightful recommendations made the dining experience even more enjoyable, as we felt truly connected to the story behind each dish. In an era where great service and exceptional cuisine are hard to come by, III Forks excels on every level. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Austin, this restaurant is a must-visit destination. The combination of delectable food and unparalleled service creates an ambiance that’s both inviting and sophisticated—a true testament to the culinary artistry of III Forks.“

“Everything was delish!! The Char Siu fried rice, the sizzling steak, the sweet and sour pork - all amazing!!“
