“ The part I set at reminded you of a saloon. They also had a sideroom plus a outdoor patio. The food was good and our waitress. I loved her honesty. ”
“ Checked out this place while in Austin for the weekend and they had really good crawfish. The service was great and the outdoor area looked really nice, too bad we didn’t know about it until after we were done with our food. Definitely worth the visit. ”
“ Never disappoint, even after five years later returning from out of state. Brittany N. at the bar was amazing and super Texas Friendly. My catfish meal was to die for, even better after all these years. Dr. K. King ”
“ We visited Austin from San Antonio for an errand and didn't want to deal with paying for parking or dealing with reservations etc. Found Shoal Creek on accident and was pleasantly surprised with the vibes and laid back feel. Found parking right up front and staff was friendly. Able to watch the Astros rout the Braves while having a decent Cajun meal. Glad to still find a nice Texas gen in the center of the city. ”
“ My husband chose to eat here for his birthday. He enjoyed the crawfish, and I loved their tenders. My daughter struggled to find something soft to eat as she'd just had oral surgery. Our server, while she did a good job, she never smiled and seemed uninterested in general. The front parking is difficult if you are not an experienced driver. Overall, I wish that he would have picked somewhere else. ”
