    Food is overly salty. Drink was not up to par. I came first time and I was not impressed with food at all, unless someone likes salty food. Gumbo was a joke. I will use less aggressive description, so it was something I was hoping would taste good and hot and appealing, but was completely opposite. They forgot to put it in microwave for a minute. Burger looked pathetic. Bloody Mary was less classic, I think it was way more spicy and bitter. Strawberry pecan salad was pretty good, except dressing amount they put on. Service was nice and pleasant, ambiance is good and to me it looked very clean inside. I would not go back, and I would not say not to come but would not recommend neither.

    Once again, a great experience! Shout out to Mickey for outstanding service. The Gouda Burger was a definite hit. Only miss was the Jalapeño bun wasn't available. Other than that, an excellent choice. Music was jammin' and the place was very clean. Love visiting this location, and will be back again.

    A very fun, relaxing place. Can watch all types of sports from the many TVs throughout the restaurant. Ample seating as well. You have 2 person booths to 4 person booths to 4 toppers and a large bar area for many to enjoy. You walk in and there are several coolers with a large variety of beverages that cannot be served thru the fountain. We counted 4 super large Yeti coolers! Onto the area to place your order. Very simple. Menus are a very large font so don't have to strain your eyes. Always have a special going on as well. We started with the basic chips and queso that also comes with salsa. The salsa was a nice smoky mild flavor. The queso was good but a tad on the cool side. Would like for it to have been warmer. Service was super friendly with our food coming out to the table. Server was always checking on us and refilling our drinks when necessary. Then fish tacos and steak fingers with jalapeño white gravy. Both were very tasty and plenty of food as well. We truly had no room for dessert. They also have a "club" where you can earn points and redeem for rewards. They add up pretty quickly. We will be back!

    If you're coming here for the first time, the ordering system is not quite the norm. You basically order at the counter, they hand you a receipt and then your server will take it from there. You can grab an ice cold beverage as you walk in or order a frozen margarita at the counter. The interior has that icehouse, honky-tonk feel to it with numerous flatscreens in every direction. At the center is a very large bar with tons of seating where you can order beers on tap or mixed drinks. Plenty of seating inside or you can choose to sit at their enclosed outdoor patio. The quality of the food pictured below was of good quality and good value. Just enough quality ingredients and low salt to have us coming back. Despite the upfront ordering system, the table service was very attentive. For the money, the food was well worth it and you should add this place to your burger appreciation list. When it's time to settle up, they'll just present you with the bill which gives you time to decide on the tip. They do have a good working formula here that keeps folks coming back, good quality food, good service, great value. 41/2*. Informative photos included.

    Came here for a quick drink recommendation. The "Big Willy". It was a flavorful and very cold! It wasn't overly sugary either. The service was great. The atmosphere was a bar type seating but they also had booths as well.

    Willie's never disappoints! Enjoying one of my favorite restaurants yet again, and as always, the food was absolutely wonderful. Our waiter was great -- friendly and attentive. The vibe here is always welcoming, and the service is top-notch. I always enjoy Willie's and will definitely keep coming back!

The seasonings are the star of the show here, and on the seafood plates you can choose your spice level. The seafood is perfectly cooked, never dried out or rubbery. We ordered the Petite shrimp plate with the Cajun lemon pepper, which was amazing. We also got the fish and fries fried plate and the New Orleans Po' Boys sandwich.They are usually part of the Hutto food truck park, but are now parked off Main Street and you can see them off 79. They still have plenty of seating in this location that they currently share with Happy Panini and cute twinkle lights. They're fast and efficient with getting you your items and I have had friendly service the 2 times I've ordered from them. Portion size is really good for the flavor, quality of the cook and price you're paying. I did see a worker take a break to smoke which concerned me at first, but when receiving my food noticed they had gloves on. Still definitely plan on going to come back to try more of the menu!

But recently last year and this year, we notice there's been a change of sushi chef and now the sushi quality has fallen below standards. This is our third time with this same negative experiences (2 take out and 1 in person) and now this prompt this one star review. The problem with the sushi is the protein (fish) is cut so super thin. The picture I included does not show how incredibly thin and skimpy the fish is. It's like paper thin thickness and to the point I can not taste the salmon or eel at all. I know the food cost has increased and you need to save cost but skimping paper thin fish in sushi and charging $18-$20 a roll is such rip off. At this point I am paying for rice, sauce, avocado, seaweed, and labor to make the sushi. Especially when we know the sushi was not made like this before. The thickness of the fish used to be the proper thickness in sushi restaurant industry. Unfortunately we cannot longer recommend Iron Fish for this reason. Paying that amount for the star (fish) of the show to be barely there is simply not acceptable. I sure hope the owner takes this feedback and change things. You can see old pictures I've taken and posted for this business and compare it to the sushi now. There's visible difference. If things change, you know we will be happy to return and support.

    Rec's Hushpuppie Heaven -- A True Gem…read more Let me tell you right now--this place lives up to the name! I ordered the Catfish Basket (2 pieces) with fries, onion rings, and their famous Mac & Cheese Hushpuppies, and babyyyy... perfection. The hushpuppies were the star of the show--golden brown, crispy on the outside, and then you bite in and boom... creamy macaroni and cheese with brisket inside. Deep-fried to absolute perfection--moist, flavorful, and unforgettable. I dipped mine in the creamy jalapeño sauce, and that combination needs its own award. I'm already plotting my return to try the shrimp and jalapeño bacon version. The catfish? Listen... crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, seasoned just right. Almost as good as mine--almost! The fries and onion rings were fried just right too--hot, fresh, and not greasy or overcooked. And let me not forget the coleslaw--a simple side done right. Cool, fresh, and the perfect balance to all that deep-fried goodness. Don't skip it. The establishment was spotless--and that matters. When you walk into a restaurant, you want to smell good cooking, not something unpleasant lingering in the air. This place was clean, welcoming, and the young men working that day greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. Excellent service from beginning to end. And here's what makes it even better--the owner gives back to the community in a big way. That alone deserves support. Reasonable prices, amazing food, clean space, and heart behind the business. Whether you're local or just passing through--do yourself a favor and stop by. I'll definitely be back.

    I don't care what anyone says... this is the BEST SEAFOOD BAG BOILS around Austin... yes I know…read morethis is Round Rock but we live in Austin & have tried EVERY place here so we started surrounding areas. The service is top tier! The staff comes by to make sure you're good constantly so you never go long waiting for refills or to get some attention for an issue. The vibe is great, TVs on & the place is always clean. I read a review complaining about the napkins & buckets that's STUPID af. Don't come to a seafood place if tha bothers you. I love that they had the whole roll of brown paper towels so we don't have to keep asking. The buckets are super helpful to clear out the soft shells of the shrimp instead of piling on a plate. The FLAVOR is ALWAYS ON POINT!!! We even tried the other location but the Round Rock location beats it! We always go for date night. It's much lower priced than @Boiling Crab & taste 100x better than their soggy shrimp! Hook & Reel is just a hard pass... it's not flavorful. LA Crawfish is not good & Krab Kings is overpriced for mid food. I make my own seafood boils & ppl would rather buy from me than go to the other locations. Surfin Crab is the only one who beats me!

    I walked into Surfing Crab hoping for one of those unapologetically messy seafood boils -- the kind…read morewhere you're tying your hair back, rolling up your sleeves, and mentally preparing to smell like garlic butter for the rest of the day. Sadly... this wasn't that experience. I ordered the boil with a pound of crab, head‑on shrimp, squid, corn, and those thin little sausage slices you see at most Cajun spots. The seasoning landed squarely in the middle -- not offensive, not impressive, just sitting there like it was waiting for someone to give it direction. I asked for hot, but what I got tasted more like a medium that didn't want to commit. And the shrimp? Head‑on and not deveined. That gave them a gamy, muddy undertone that took away from the whole boil. At this price point, deveining shouldn't be a luxury add‑on. We also tried the appetizer sampler -- calamari, egg rolls, cheese sticks -- and everything tasted suspiciously similar, like it all took the same little swim in the same fryer without a break. Nothing was terrible, but nothing had personality. These were the kind of appetizers you can find anywhere, and not the kind you remember later. My partner ordered the shrimp po'boy, and while the portion was generous, the breading overwhelmed the shrimp. He ended up peeling most of it off just to get to the actual protein. When the breading becomes the main character, that's a sign the dish needs editing. Now, the mixed drinks? Those were actually good -- balanced, not overly sweet, and honestly the highlight of the meal. And I have to give credit where it's due: our waitress was attentive, friendly, and checked on us consistently without hovering. She did everything right. The food just didn't match her level of service. And look... I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I've had better crab at HEB during crawfish season for a fraction of the price. When your grocery‑store boil is hitting harder than the restaurant version, that's saying something. Overall, Surfing Crab wasn't a disaster, but it wasn't memorable either. For the price and the concept, I expected more depth, more spice, and more care in the prep. This one's a pass for me -- especially when I know I can get fresher, better‑seasoned seafood elsewhere without the premium price tag.
