Seafood Restaurant · Wells Branch · 35 tips and reviews
Lionel Dyck: Great Maine lobster and clam chooser
Dianne Hillhouse: Excellent lobster rolls, jalapeño slaw, clam chowder, fish and chips, raw oysters. The high prices are the only reason I don't go more often. Love the decor and atmosphere of Garbo's.
Lisa K: Might be a little pricey but when you see the huge chunks of lobster, it's worth it!

Seafood Restaurant · Old West Austin · 71 tips and reviews
Austin Chronicle: A luxurious menu is matched by an adventurous wine list and an intimate, bistro feel. Don’t skip the house-baked bread: It’s stunningly good, especially when dipped in the Mussels & Clams wine broth. Read more.
Glen Bischoff: Clam Bloody Mary!

Italian Restaurant · Hancock · 26 tips and reviews
Chefs Feed: Andrew Curren, chef of 24 Diner, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Linguine & clams. Read more.
Jason Tennenbaum: A good find in the Austin food market. Ensure yourself an italian night with well prepared dishes, smooth wine, and a comfortable wait staff. Reservations recommended in advanced.
Austin Chronicle: Asti is one of the best midpriced neighborhood cafes in Austin. Food is consistently delightful, whether it is grilled octopus, a thin-crust pizza, or their ever-popular chocolate cannoli.
Lisa: Their sweet potato clam chowder and RIBEYE are amazing
Jason Kapler: For my money, the best steak in Austin. Off the beaten track so very quite and intimate versus alternative steak houses.
Austin Chronicle: The independently owned Austin Land & Cattle serves steaks that are succulent, tender, and cooked as-ordered, and you get three sides with your entrée. One downside: Parking can be a real bitch.
Chris Annoni: Best clam chowder I've EVER eaten! You must give it a try with their fabulous bread and butter...
Susan Zoch: Well my friend enjoyed the lobster roll, surf and turf and the hamburger. I ordered the fish sandwich which was ok but it needs a meatier fish to stand up to the bun.
BrookeFish: Highly recommend the seafood tower! You get a bit of everything and it’s awesome! My favorite cocktail is the Tito’s Cherry Limeade, but I also love the Paloma and the 512. Honestly, try everything!

Stephanie Holland: Shannon and the Clams, always a great show!
Jessica Jones: My favorite venue in Austin! Intimate outdoor concert space, shows often sell out so get tickets ahead of time!
The Most Interesting Man in the World: To access the secret VIP lounge, knock 12 times on the wall by the restroom. If no one answers that means it’s full.

Pizzeria · 12 tips and reviews
José Ducós: The pizza here is delicious. The Detroit style make the crust is thick, fluffy and crispy. A bit more oily that the usual fare but worth it. A 4 slice pizza will be hard to finish by yourself!
Angela Angela: Love this place! The vegan option is The Herbivore without cheese or with dairy-free cheese. Must-have desert: hockey sticks! They’re vegan when ordered with maple syrup instead of butter. 💚🌱💚
Tom Fox: Square Detroit style pizza is great! A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Enjoy with a Faygo Rock-n-Rye
