    Amazing, walk up and order place in downtown Austin. Got the blackened shrimp and red snapper with slaw and mac n cheese. Would totally walk in the rain AGAIN for this meal. Guy was cool at the window as well as great service. Adjacent to a bar I did not go in. Review is for food alone

    Stumbled upon this great spot. The fish was great. We had the ahi tuna po boy along with the fried catfish. Both were big, thick and well cooked pieces of fish. The mac n cheese was good, thick and creamy. We had high hopes for the Cajun green beans. They had good kick, but flavor was lacking. That being said, the workers were nice, and food came out at a good time. Will be back again. Also you can order ahead.

    I've walked past Lavaca Street bar so many times but never knew they sold seafood! We were craving some shrimp and found out through maps that they basically have an entire restaurant in the bar. I was so excited since the location is nearby and they had a great selection. The service was great & the food came out fast considering the amount of people in line. Unfortunately, I was not impressed by the food. The amount of food vs the price of the food provided did not make any sense to me. The Cajun corn was honestly just nasty. The blackened shrimp had a decent taste but the "buffalo shrimp" was literally just fried shrimp with some dabs of Frank's hot. The only thing I'd recommend from here would be the jalapeño hush puppies. They were tasty & there were plenty. Their service was great and I enjoyed the overall feel of the bar, however, I would not choose to eat here again. I'll definitely return for some drinks and a football game though!

    I'm not going to lie. I was hating on the prices at first but I decided to go for it. It was absolutely amazing, it's 100% worth it without a doubt. I got the crawfish tail po boy (blackened), red beans & rice, green beans, and jalapeno hush puppies. Probably spent around $45ish after taxes and tip. (These are the only items I have tried)

    Po' boy w/ blackened tilapia (top view)

    Turf N Surf is pretty expensive for a "po' boy" shop, but I do enjoy their sandwiches. They're pretty big! The blackened fish is very flavorful. They stuff their sandwiches with crunchy vegetables. And they have 5 or 6 hot sauces (these are po' boys, so I go with the classic Louisiana Hot Sauce). When I first visited, I was taken aback by the prices - all in w/ tax & tip well over $20 for most proteins - but the tilapia option was much cheaper, so I went with that. And I was not disappointed! I think blackened was the right way to go too, but they do have fried and grilled options. The blackened spices add a nice amount of flavor to the white fish, one reason why I don't think you really need the more expensive versions. The bread isn't noticeable, but it stands up to a fairly moist sandwich, so it does it's job. On top of the fish, is a heaping pile of slaw. lettuce, tomato, onion & pickles. Always served with lime, which is necessary to contrast the creamy slaw. Choose your hot sauce from the many options, and your tastebuds will be occupied for a little while They also serve 2 sauces on the side, but honestly, I don't really like them. I suggest ordering w/ out sauce on the side, they're not needed since you've already got your hot sauce of choice. The service is pretty quick, so I'm happy there. There's also never a line when I go - usually 2-3pm - so that's a plus. And if you have time for a pint, you're already right there in Lavaca Street Bar The interior is pretty dark & divey, but they do have a small backyard area, so if you need some fresh air, just head that way.

    Cilantro fries

    There is no ambiance as this is a kitchen with a pick up window if ordered from the sidewalk or ordered from within the bar. You maybe lucky to grab a seat on the sidewalk otherwise it's inside the bar if you can find an unoccupied table. The service is wonderful, they are super helpful and very friendly. The food is awesome, I wish I had not eaten early so I could try more things from their menu. The blacken snapper po boy was one of the best po boys I've ever had. The veggies were fresh firm and crispy. The cilantro fries left a lot to be desired. Just chopped cilantro thrown on top of a bed of fries. The fries would've been great without the cilantro. The tacos were also good. The portion sizes are huge... I will return whenever I'm in Austin.

    Blackened Crawfish nachos
    Merry L.

    Came here after seeing how amazing their crawfish nachos looked online and the great reviews that people wrote. However my friends and I were extremely disappointed with the food and service. The blackened crawfish was overly salty, we could not keep eating it without feeling the need to drink water after each bite. Don't get me wrong, the portions are generous ($21) especially considering the price we paid but I would not recommend this to anyone. The seasoning overpowered the crawfish and it was not enjoyable. As you can see in the picture, we barely made a dent and mind you, we do NOT like to waste food. We are not even picky eaters but each bite was pure salt with no contrast in flavors. We also ordered cocktail fried oysters but they were mostly covered in breading and the oysters were tiny so I can't justify the $20 price tag. The only thing i could recommend is the shrimp poboy. The size is generous and the shrimps were big and succulent. In terms of service, it felt cold and disinterested when I asked what they recommended since we were visiting from California.

    FF & shrimp po boy
    Robyn F.

    3.5 First thing to note is they give you big portions. The FF were good, nice seasoning but not salty. My friend liked the shrimp on the po boy but said the bread was too much. My quesadilla was really greasy. I asked for light cheese. It was so much cheese, it was oozing out. I ate the two end slices & threw away the rest. My stomach couldn't take all the grease & cheese. I originally wanted tacos but I prefer corn tortillas, which they didn't have. Service was good, food didn't take long. Won't be back. Pricey & disappointing.

    I love crossing off places in my "Want to Go" bookmarks. I especially loved crossing off Turf N Surf Po' Boy because it's been in my bookmarks for over 4 or 5 years now. I came with my team yesterday because my manager raved about it, and wow. It is so delicious. It's a little hole-in-the-wall on Lavaca Street, and I've definitely passed by it a lot of times but didn't realize it was right there. We all ordered the blackened ahi tuna taco plate with Cajun fries as our side, and everything was genuinely so freaking good. The fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned. The fish was really tender and moist. They fill up the tacos so I can only eat one and I'll get full. Even the salad and the ranch dressing were phenomenal. I definitely want to come again because this is going to be one of my favorite spots in Austin. There is so much food as well, so the price is definitely worth it. I can't say enough good things about this spot.

    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!

    Blackened chicken nachos, red beans & rice
    Blaire B.

    Yeah this place goes absolutely crazy. Like the portions are so insane you wonder how they even make money. They were churning and burning out meals during an extremely packed UT game and everything came out quickly and well-made. Service at the window is also always so friendly it makes me want to get in my car and drive straight to NOLA. The red beans and rice alone made me nostalgic for the boot. The blackened chicken nachos fully satiated three starving women and that's saying a lot. Honestly I've tried a lot of dishes on their menu and not one of them disappoints. T&S is really the ideal bar food - BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!!! And hey if you're a weightlifter, you absolutely do not have to worry about protecting the gains here. They will load you UP with protein.

    Schelly Y.

    Wow people were not joking when they mentioned in their reviews that the portions are huge here. We tried the chicken parm which essentially seemed like two very large chicken breasts cut into 2 pieces each and was probably about a lb of meat. If you're looking for traditional thinner chicken parm this is a not it, but great value if you want a mound of chicken. The grilled shrimp was a more reasonable portion size and cooked well. I would give this place closer to a 3.5 but def a great value option if you want a ton of food!

While we were waiting for our food, it suddenly became a whole scene, it was National Hot Dog Day, and the line just kept growing and growing. People were fully committed too, hot dog shirts, hot dog hats, I'm pretty sure I saw a walking hot dog at one point. Add in folks bringing their own ice chests of beer and it felt like a little hot dog party. We decided to go big and ordered every kind of dog they make so we could share and try them all. A super sweet lady brought our order out to us, which I loved. No waiting around trying to hear someone shout out your name. And let me tell you, every single one was damn good. You really can't go wrong here. My favorite ended up being the classic chili cheese dog, because apparently I like to keep it old school, ha.

Next time, I've got my eye on one of those big burritos because they looked crazy good, no joke. Accessibility wise, they do have accessible parking, which is a huge plus. The seating is a mix of circular and standard picnic tables, some with shade, but not the most wheelchair-friendly setup. They do have a ramp up to the covered area and I made it work by parking at an angle at the end of a table, nothing was getting between me and those dogs.
