The menu is full of incredible options, you're sure to find something that inspires your palate, and satisfies your belly!! Our server, Lila, is a beautiful person full of joy, and clearly loves what she does! We were there with friends, and enjoyed a beverage before ordering food; even the drink menu has something you probably haven't tried before! #GoForIt! The food is incredible, served hot and fresh. The flavors in every appetizer and entrée were pure perfection! I have never been a Salmon fan... but I LOVED their Salmon appetizer, and look forward to having it again! I don't remember what we all had, but EVERY dish was prepared to perfection and served with HEART!! It was our first time there, and we will definitely return. Thank you, Lila, for making our first visit memorable! If you're wondering if this place is worth a visit, don't think .. just go, and enjoy yourself; you'll be glad you did! I took several pics, but they were somehow deleted... bummer!

I'm actually kind of sad that I haven't tried this place out yet. It's been on my list for quite…read moresome time as I drive by every single weekend. finally decided to pop in and was able to grab a seat at the bar. The bar definitely had plenty of TVs, so if you're sports person. You could easily catch a game while here. One of the Table tents, notified guest of a happy hour for oysters, which I'm not an oyster fan, but hey to each their own. Had to try out the clam chowder and it was one of the best clam chowder I've had quite some time. You could easily taste the clams at a really nice consistency not too thin, not too thick and I didn't even have to add any salt to it. It was just really tasty. When the clam trotter was delivered, I happened to look at what other plates were on the serving tray ready to go out in one of them happen to be this phenomenal salmon dish. I asked the gentleman what it was and he said it was his favorite dish on the menu, so of course had to try it the salmon dish absolutely out of this world the glaze on it side. It came with it. Everything just fit really well together and y'all that plate was clean by the time it went back. This place is definitely on my shortlist as I really would like to try some of their other plates again that salmon and the clam chowder really made an impression and highly rate this place if you're looking for a good seafood place in Austin. The vibe of the restaurant was laid-back, but also very open, clean setting clean lines plenty of light and they even had really clean restrooms. The staff also was very pleasant and friendly with every one I interacted with.

The Tom Yum soup, the seafood fried rice and seafood salad were especially good. I feel compelled to add more to my review after reading several of the negative ones. Not sure if they've turned things around or they're under new management, but we had a lovely experience. It was lively but not too loud, our waitress was really sweet and the price was exceptionally reasonable considering how expensive things have gotten in Austin!

On paper, it should have been easy: seafood, oysters, and a place that sounds like it knows what…read moreit's doing. In reality, it was a masterclass in how to make a restaurant feel busy while somehow being empty. The wait times were absurd, especially considering there weren't people there, which made the whole experience feel less like dining out and more like being held hostage by a very slow clock. The seafood was not good. Not "not my favorite," not "a little off" -- just plain not good. The menu was also bizarre in a way that felt less creative and more like someone lost a bet and had to build a restaurant around the leftovers. And if you're looking for anything dairy-free or gluten-free, good luck. The options are basically "no" with a side of disappointment. It is not family friendly at all, with no options for children. This is more the kind of place where you start questioning your choices before the appetizers even arrive.

Was craving some Cajun boil seafood and this place didn't disappoint. Located in a food truck lot,…read morewe ordered the dinner krab dinner. Include: (2) krab clusters, (10) shrimp, sausage, corn, egg, and potatoes. Ordered it "suicide" style which basically means all of the sauces/flavors together. Places great. Food cost was ~$45. Arrived around 2:00pm on a Saturday and food came out in like 7 minutes. Didn't skimp on spices and butter. Plenty of to fill two people up for lunch and leave the room to be able to try things either within the same food truck lot or somewhere else. We elected to grab coffee else where. The guy working was super friendly and helpful. Even took the trash bag to throw away the shells for us. We didn't ask but the one critique is to include crackers apart of the orders or simply pre crack the claws before you hand out the bag. Got creative with breaking the harder shells. Other than that, food was great, will be back if we come back to Austin.

There was another…read moretruck in the park closed and I was worried they are too because it's tucked into a corner and there aren't lights or anything, but I LOVE seafood so I got closer to check and saw the paper open sign in the window. The man cooking is incredibly sweet and came in clutch when I forgot to order seasoning. I was visiting from a region known for crab/seafood boils and was not disappointed! Crab tends to turn to shreds when it's overboiled, and I was EASILY pulling out nice, intact pieces from the shell, so no worries about that here. If you're in the area, definitely approach the truck even if it looks closed--worth it to double check!

I thought of ordering something else from the menu, but the plate of calamari was so plentiful, enough for a full meal. It was served with a dipping sauce, lemon and jalapeño. Very tasty! The waitress was nice enough to take our picture and was there on time to refill my water glass. I was also very thirsty from the run! I loved the experience there. I will go back for brunch and perhaps more fried calamari.

But we were seated immediately and the staff seemed nice. Now for the action...THE FOOD Drinks 5/10: lots of ice, no real flavor Andouille & cheddar hush puppies 6/10: these had a nice flavor to them and they were fresh and hot when they came out. They weren't too greasy which was nice. The sauce it came with was OK. It wasn't my favorite though. Redfish and crab 5/10: I feel like the menu duped me. On the menu it says the fish is pan seared however my fish had a crust on it. Not a pan fried...it had crust as if they coated it....a literal crust. I did green beans instead of asparagus. The green beans were a little overcooked, but they were seasoned well and had great flavor. I'm not really a fan of warm tomatoes, but it added something different to the green beans for me. TLC signature crab boil 8/10: good portions, flavor was good. French fries 4/10: ketchup saved these fries. Too much parsley and lacked flavor. Plus they were not hot.

I've been craving crawfish since forever so we finally came for dinner on Friday night at around…read more6:30 pm. We were seated immediately, which never happens. Our server was Camilla. We ordered our usual: 2 lbs of crawfish with their whole shabang sauce mild, we included 3 potatoes, 7 sausages, and 1 corn to the bag, a side of rice, cajun fries, and a margarita. We finished at 7:10 pm, which is like the quickest boiling crab experience ever! Thoughts: -Sauce is not the authentic boiling crab sauce, it is way less seasoned and had an odd aftertaste. Ca and Dallas ones are 10000% much better.. tasting wise, but I've also never been to a boiling crab where they've messed up the sauce?? cuz cmon! the sauce is the best part!!! -Sausages are TINY compared to other boiling crab restaurants we've been to -I don't normally dip my crawfish in the lime/salt&pepper cuz you honestly don't really need it, but I dipped it in there for every single bite this time around.. hence, the sauce.... -Menus on napkin holder aka QR code -Gloves were the only solid thing here! We will not be frequenting this boiling crab location anymore. Waste of money! Overall, boiling crab is honestly like the best besides all the waiting, but if the sauce isn't good, then it's not worth it cuz you really are there for the sauce. Parking spots are limited near the restaurant, and people ought to park better cuz some people just can't park. Get there early to avoid that and to lessen your wait time. Servers were attentive and nice.

The atmosphere definitely sets a good first impression. My main issue, however, is with the food. For the price you're paying, the dishes felt pretty basic and didn't really stand out. I expected something more memorable given the pricing. Another thing that bothered me was the service. Our waiter kept encouraging us to order more items throughout the meal, which felt a bit pushy. Later I realized that gratuity was already included in the bill, so larger orders likely meant a bigger tip. That left a slightly uncomfortable impression. Would I recommend it? Sure -- it's worth trying once and forming your own opinion. But personally, I've had much better seafood at more reasonable prices elsewhere.

We had a later reservation around 8:45 and sat outside, loveee their lighting outside!! Their patio is so cute and has such a fun atmosphere. The service was amazing! Our waitress was super attentive and did a great job answering any questions we had about the menu. We started with the calamari and BBQ shrimp. The calamari was cooked well, but I felt like it was missing a little something flavor-wise. The green sauce tasted more like a salsa, and I think some extra seasoning or even more lemon would have made it perfect. The BBQ shrimp was SO good!! The bread that came with it was amazing for dipping into the sauce. The sauce definitely has a little kick to it, so be prepared if you're sensitive to spice! For drinks, we tried the Shipwreck Spritz and Sea Mist. The Shipwreck Spritz was so refreshing and genuinely tasted how a beach house smells if that makes any sense lol. The Sea Mist was also really good and had more of a spicy/refreshing flavor. For our mains, we got the fish and chips and wood grilled oysters. The oysters were super flavorful, and my fish was cooked perfectly. Similar to the calamari, I just felt like the sauce with the fish and chips could have used a little more flavor. We finished with espresso martinis, which usually aren't my favorite, but I actually really enjoyed these! Overall, we had such a great anniversary dinner and loved the atmosphere, food, and service. I'm giving it 4 stars just because a few of the dishes felt like they were missing that extra bit of flavor, but Perla's is still such a great spot and somewhere I'd absolutely come back to!

This is the Austin branch of the Hutto Cajun Seafood Truck Pete's Seafood…read more They used to be at the Picnic on Barton Springs Road. They have moved up to 5000 Burnet. This shows they have good taste, good judgement and want to be near neighboring trucks that serve fine food. * * * How is Pete's? a) Nearly all Cajun seafood is good. Cajun seafood is like chocolate. There is better. There is worse. It is never bad. b) Pete's boiled Cajun shrimp is completely lovely. I would eat this over and over again. Since Pete's is near my house, I intend to become a regular. c) Cajun seafood is much easier to eat in a restaurant than at a food truck. This is because the final concoction is wet (due to the boiling stock) oily (because the oils make things taste good) and bright red (because of the spices.) You are looking at a dry cleaner's dream. In a restaurant you get solid plates and bowls to eat the good stuff in. At Pete's you get a Styrofoam container to hold the mess. This is like using a cotton bag to take home red paint. Fortunately, the slosharound stayed within the plastic bag the Styrofoam container was placed in. But one pinprick and it would have been upholstery cleaning time. d) The spices in Pete's seafood is NOT even. There WILL be the big bites of salt and the big bites of cayenne pepper. Be sure to order boiled potatoes as your side and save two or three to the end. You will need them to put out mouth emergencies. e) The non-emergency bites are wonderful. Having to put out fires with potatoes is a fair price for a meal with a lot of taste thrills. * * * Thumbs up for the seafood. Double thumbs up for the potatoes.

The shrimp in particular was flimsy rather than firm and plump. It could have been since I came later in the day for dinner rather than lunch. If you stop by, I recommend the baja tacos over the other items.
