Fresh Seafood and Cold Drafts at Deckhand Oyster Bar

Next time you want to go out to watch the big game, consider Deckhand Oyster Bar in Round Rock. This casual bar is a great place to kick back with a pitcher of beer and a group of friends.  The menu features fresh, casual seafood favorites like fried catfish and crawfish poboys.  Oysters are shucked in front of you, and served on the half shell.  Regulars love the gumbo!  There are several Asian items on the menu too – like tom yum soup, a sweet and sour seafood soup with a little kick. If you order oysters, try the thai sauce, which is a unique complement to their mild flavor. Prices are reasonable and get even lower during happy hour from 3-6 p.m.  The Deckhand serves beer in frosted mugs, but don’t expect craft brews – it’s mostly American favorites. The Thai Tea is a tasty non-alcoholic alternative.

Truluck’s: Sustainable Seafood For a Delicious Meal

More and more people are concerned about the future of our oceans, and commercial fishing is becoming less and less sustainable as populations decline. Restaurants like Truluck’s are working hard to ensure that our food supply is sustainable for future generations. This top-flight restaurant has implemented a fantastic program that sources food from carefully-selected providers, including their own crab fishery outside of Naples. This tight control over where their ingredients come from translates into amazing food that has diners raving. Open your meal with the fantastic stone crab claws, served on a bed of ice, and then proceed to the great crab macaroni and cheese, sesame-crusted Hawaiian tuna, tender and succulent filet mignon, or pretty much anything else on the menu. Desserts are also great, with the carrot cake garnering special attention. This place is always a winner, with extremely consistent food and service, good-sized portions, and reasonable prices.
