Tlc Austin

This is the place you go when you want seafood and care about the quality. I have been here quite a few times. Everyone is always very kind and helpful, like they actually care. The food is very fresh and comes out quick. I like to get the $1 oysters. Fun fact, they make their own sauces. I ordered the brownie (to go) to share with my friends who thought it was absolutely AMAZING. One person took 1/4 of it. If you want good cooking and scratch made food, this is the place. edit: thought the brownie was GF, but it's not, it's still really really good. The kind of good brownie where the crust is crunchy and the center is gooey and stays that way after cooling. I love this place! The service is always ON POINT!

I was visiting from Miami, Florida and I went to TLC Austin for lunch with family. The staff was very friendly and our waiter Garrett was awesome.The place has a relaxed and casual vibe even though it was 106 degrees. The food was amazing and affordable and the service was fantastic. I definitely recommend TLC Austin and I will be returning whenever I'm in Austin.

I so wish that I found this place sooner! Food is all amazing but that Atomic Shrimp is crazy!!! Atmosphere is super fun and the staff are all fun and friendly. Side note, you get a free package of crackers every time your server walks over…to be honest, it can end up being a lot of crackers. If any of the owners read this, put a banner out front that mentions the type of food y’all have because it took me too long to figure out the amazing stuff coming out of your kitchen.

Tried something new. This establishment takes reservations but the place was pretty empty when my husband and I arrived. I think we beat the rush. We shared: Raw Oysters - Husband could not get enough of these lil critters. He absolutely loved the freshness and flavor. Andouille & Cheddar Hushpuppies - Surprisingly good. I was leery of the andouille in it but it all blended together well. A bit of spice but not too much. The Boil - Dungeness Crab (as they were out of Snow Crab) with Smoked Garlic and Lemon Garlic Butter. This was d e l i c i o u s! The crab was fresh and cooked perfectly. The Smoked Garlic it was cooked with did not overpower the crab at all. I would order this again when I come back. Redfish and Crab - Was not really worth the money it costs, to me anyway. The Husband was practically drooling over it he liked it so much. I was not that impressed, I preferred the crab in the boil instead. All in all we had a pleasant experience. The restaurant has a nice ambience, was clean and the staff was friendly. As we were leaving it started to get busy, so certain times of the day a reservation would be best. I recommend this place.
