“ We had a great time enjoying our lunch here yesterday. We will return again! ”

“ Took the whole fam visiting from out of state and had amazing food, per usual.. I live in RR and I love the fact that it's only minutes away from me whenever I crave oysters and prices are great!! the fusion with Thai food is amazing.. Love visiting this location!! ”

“ I really love the papaya salad here, so every time I visit Austin, I make sure to stop by this restaurant. The oysters are very fresh, and the crawfish tastes great as well. I visited around late March, so the crawfish were still small. I highly recommend coming during the peak seafood season for the best experience. ”

“ First time. We sat at bar. Loved it all. Great gumbo! Crisp beer. It was great experience we will be back. ”

“ If you’re looking for a spot that nails a Cajun-style seafood boil, **Deckhand Oyster Bar and Seafood** is the place to go. My recent visit here was an absolute delight, and I can’t wait to share the details! ### The Food: 10/10 We ordered the **2 LB crawfish boil** for three people, and it was phenomenal. The crawfish were juicy, perfectly spiced, and packed with flavor. The boil came with mushrooms, corn, and potatoes, and we added shrimp to the mix—everything was cooked to perfection. The seasoning was just right, not too overpowering but flavorful enough to keep us reaching for more. We also tried the **fried shrimp**, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the **wings**, which were surprisingly some of the best I’ve had—juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked to a perfect golden crisp. Every bite was a reminder of why this place stands out. ### The Service: 10/10 Our server was fantastic. Even though the crawfish boil took a little while to come out (which, honestly, is expected with fresh seafood), she kept us updated on the timing and made sure we were comfortable. She was also super friendly and gave us a great tip: **March and April are the best months for crawfish**! Thanks to her, we’re already planning a return trip in April. ### The Atmosphere: 9/10 The restaurant has a laid-back, coastal vibe that makes you feel like you’re at a seafood shack by the beach. It’s casual and welcoming, perfect for a fun meal with friends or family. Plus, there’s **plenty of parking**, which is always a bonus. ### Value for Money: 9/10 The portions were generous, and the quality of the food made it worth every penny. The crawfish boil was packed with flavor and ingredients, and the fried shrimp and wings were equally satisfying. It’s not the cheapest meal, but you definitely get what you pay for—and then some. ### Final Thoughts Deckhand Oyster Bar and Seafood is a must-visit for anyone who loves Cajun-style seafood boils or just great seafood in general. The food is outstanding, the service is top-notch, and the vibe is relaxed and enjoyable. We’re already counting down the days until our next visit in April! ”

“ Friendly service, food was delicious and served fast. The house sauce tasted great on everything. Also just good vibes in general. Would definitely come back! ”

“ The Best Oysters and That Sauce is the key Crying Tiger level 4 spice with sticky rice .. In my top 3 meals ”

“ Love coming to new places that are great in every way. My wife and I were encouraged by friends to come here, and from the first bite of the shrimp satay, we knew this was a winner. As soon as we took that bite, we knew this was going to be a great meal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. HIGHLY recommend the shrimp satay as a starter. ”
