Place doesn't appear as new as most restaurants and other stores in Round Rock but the atmosphere is casual and fun. Buckets of crabs are pretty good but potatoes are on the hard side. Customer service wasn't terrific but not terrible either. All in all, I'd probably return.

I guess growing up in Florida there are better places to get your seafood than Joes Crab Shack and Red Lobster in the Austin area. This isn't it. If you like frozen seafood recooked and served on a wooden picnic table then this is the place for you. I think it would be great with small children, but for the... More

I can't complain about their service (regardless of the server it is always good). It is a fun place to get crabs! My favorite plates are: the crab nachos and the bucket of dungeness crab steamed. They have the most crab meat of all their different kinds of crabs. Their bartenders know about a lot of drinks that are not... More

I love shrimp, but I hardly ever get to eat it. My family loves mexican food. But when I do get to eat shrimp and it's good, I truly enjoy it. I love all of their varieties.

I was in Round Rock on business and visited this restaurant a number of times as my hotel did not have a resturant on site. I sat up at the bar every time and the bartender each time was very friendly and looked after me well. The food was excellent and there was a wide range of food available. I... More

Overall, the food was the best part about the time there. The service is relatively slow and it took 2 people to seat us when we went there on a Monday night and there was like 5 other tables which had people in them. I had the half and half crawfish and it was to die for. My husband had... More
