"We're boycotting this restaurant. The menu offered a choice between tilapia and catfish, and I specifically ordered catfish, making it clear to the waitress that I do not eat tilapia because I consider it unhealthy. What did they serve me? Tilapia! I can't believe a restaurant could do worse than completely ignoring such a request. It made me wonder: what if I had a shellfish allergy? Would they have just served me shrimp instead? I also found myself questioning whether they thought I wouldn’t notice the difference between tilapia and catfish. I highly recommend avoiding this place if you want to receive the dish you actually ordered. This is especially crucial for anyone with food allergies! As for the atmosphere? There was none. Honestly, skip this restaurant; they don't deserve your patronage."

The service at this restaurant was outstanding, and the food was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. I opted for the spiciest dish on the menu, but it turned out to be more mild than I expected. Overall, the fish had a wonderfully tasty crust, though I did wish it had a little more heat.

We had a delightful late-night meal, and the staff and management were incredibly accommodating. While I'm not an expert on authenticity, I can confidently say it was exactly what we were looking for! The food was amazing and brought back fond memories of our time in LA. Be sure to ask for Chris—she was fantastic and made us feel right at home! Food: 5 stars.

I ordered the 1lb mild crab boil, which included corn, potatoes, and sausage. The butter sauce was amazing, and while the mild seasoning had a little kick, it was incredibly tasty. Someone at my table had the shrimp po'boy and really enjoyed it, while another person tried the catch of the day and liked that as well. There's so much more on the menu that I can't wait to explore, and the service was excellent! I will definitely be back.

I ordered the 1lb mild crawfish, which was served with corn, potatoes, and sausage. The butter sauce was delicious, and although the mild seasoning had a bit of kick for my taste, it was truly fantastic. One of my friends had the shrimp po'boy and really enjoyed it, while another tried the Fisherman's catch and liked it too. I'm eager to try more items from the menu before giving a final rating, but the service was excellent! I will definitely be returning. View menu

I attempted to reach out to the manager to discuss the issues, but my efforts were met with refusal. I explained the situation and requested either a refund or a credit for another meal, but was told that I would need to return all the food for inspection first. This was incredibly frustrating, especially considering the thirty-minute drive it would take to do so. I am disappointed not only with the food but even more so with the management's response. We will not be returning.

We are visiting Austin from Florida for the first time to see a soccer game and came across this restaurant based on the reviews. My daughter, grandson, and I tried the Crawfish Étouffée and the Seafood Combo, and both were absolutely delicious! I want to give a special shoutout to our server, Evan—he was one of the best servers we've ever had! This restaurant is definitely a must-visit for outstanding customer service and amazing food. We highly recommend it! You won’t regret it!

We are from Florida and visited Austin for the first time to attend a football game. After reading the reviews, my daughter, grandchild, and I chose to eat at this restaurant. We ordered the Crawfish Étouffée and the Seafood Combo, and both dishes were incredibly delicious! A big thanks to our server, Evan—he was one of the best servers we've ever encountered! This place truly provides outstanding customer service along with amazing, flavorful food. We highly recommend it! You’ll thank us later! View menu

I'm left questioning the cleanliness of the kitchen after witnessing the unkempt state of the tables. If they can't manage to tidy up what's visible to customers, how can I trust that the kitchen is any better? I'm honestly concerned that my stomach problems tonight may be connected to the unsanitary conditions we encountered yesterday. Given the high prices at this restaurant, we anticipated a much more pleasant experience, but sadly, that wasn't achieved. We won't be coming back, and I plan to report this situation to the state. It was absolutely unacceptable.

I recently ordered dinner from Takeout, and I must say the experience fell short of my expectations. The food was the biggest disappointment, receiving a meager 1 out of 5 rating. Given the steep price of over $100 per person, it simply did not deliver. On a brighter note, the service was quite impressive, earning a solid 4 out of 5. The staff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring that my order was handled seamlessly. However, the atmosphere left much to be desired, deserving only a 2 out of 5. It lacked an inviting ambiance, which was quite disheartening. In summary, although the service was commendable, the food quality was lacking, and the atmosphere did not contribute positively t...
