    Charbroiled oysters
    Krystal M.

    Amazing drop in! Tried the random selection button and Yelp recommended this gem. Took me right back to my honeymoon! No, draggos, but those charbroiled oysters and gumbo were quite tasty. Put the order in and my meal was ready in 20min. Unexpected gem during a stop over.

    Margarita flight
    Sasha R.

    We love Abby's!! The absolute best boudin balls I've had in a long time, most don't make them with any flavor. These rock! The staff is always so kind and helpful. Everything we've had here has been really good! Love the margarita flight! Wanting to try the pho next!

    HUGE JUICY Crawfish
    Krista P.

    This place absolutely has the best crawfish this side of town by far. I've been here twice, and both times I have not been disappointed. I usually grab a few lbs, garlic butter medium spicy. And it's DELICIOUS . I also get a half pound of mussels if I have room Service is great. When I go it's usually not busy during the day. And the vibe is casual crab shack. I love it here!!!

    Lemon pepper crawfish we soooooo yummy!
    Jenn C.

    Decided to stop at this cute little place while I was in Cedar Park and was able to slam a couple pounds of crawfish and crab. Everything was super tasty. I had the garlic butter on one batch and then lemon pepper on the next. I will be back! Also so the service was on point. Christian was probably the most polite and respectable server I've ever had.

    The shrimp are a good size and fried well.  I could taste the sweetness of the shrimp! I wasn't fond of the breading, though. Removing it, however, did show well-cooked, tasty shrimp. However, the catfish was a disappointment. It was a generous serving and glistened with oil. But the texture of and taste to the breading on the thin filet also was not to my liking. My meals came with cole slaw that had a bite to it and seasoned fries that were delicious. Service here is good. My first server was a non seafood eater, but was able to direct me to the shrimp as a good seller. Another server gave me advice that steered me from the catfish poboy to the straight catfish.  I suggest popping in at lunch and trying a lunch special before going for a full meal. Doing this saved me with my catfish taste preference discovery.

    Fried shrimp and hush puppies
    Crystal R.

    One of my favorite Cajun food places around. Being from southeast texas, i have missed Cajun food. This is a great addition to the area. Plenty of seating inside with a bar area. Service is great. Always seated quickly. The staff is always super friendly. Very attentive with making sure things are right and glasses are full. The gumbo is so good with the dark roux. The way it should be ;). I always like getting fried shrimp and hush puppies. Shrimp are good size and batter is tasty. The crab is worth it when they offer it. A bit pricey, but good. It comes with potato and corn.

    My my my! This crab shack restaurant is so delicious!!! I recommend snow crab legs with sausage, shrimp , potatoes plus corn on the cob. Garlic seasoning and spiciest flavor. Also have a wonderful mini margaritas flight just for variety. All the servers are so kind and helpful and genuinely good at their jobs. The overall look of the place is nautical and there's a wrap around bar in the center of the restaurant . Kids menu is also on point . Bathrooms clean. Only thing I would improve is that is not a baby changing station in the bathroom but besides that it is delicious and always a good time!

    Crawfish
    Steven H.

    First time coming here and I'm impressed! The service was really good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. Came for the crawfish and was not disappointed. Really garlicky and a nice bit of heat. Definitely suggest coming here with your friends for an amazing experience. Thank you Joshua!

All Good has a pretty large bar with table tops and tables inside. There are picnic tables outside. The bar features many craft beers on tap and some very interesting specialty cocktails. Their Paloma is my favorite. There is a permanent food truck on site that serves up an excellent smash burger. They do have live music on the weekends. Service at the bar and tables is always friendly, and the servers make sure you are never sitting with an empty glass! Do check out this gem area in Cedar Park; there is something for everyone.

Located off Anderson Mill in the corner of a strip mall is a bookshelf with a door on the right side. If you cannot figure out the entrance, there is a doorbell to ring as well. I believe it is owned by the same people who own The Mill bar right next door, which makes it feel like a cool bonus space. My friend and I sat next to a faux fireplace, where we were greeted by the only bartender working and placed our order. Once he opened the tab, it was disappointing that he never came back to check if we wanted another drink. It wasn't super busy on the Monday we went, but since he was the only one manning the bar, the bartender was always doing something, so I don't blame him fully for not checking back in with us. I ordered a drink called the Velvet Vice. It looked nothing like the picture and tasted similar to an Aviation cocktail with egg whites. I happened to really like it. It is a very relaxed space, but once the speakeasy gimmick wears off, it does not have much else going for it. It is still a cool place, but I am not sure it was worth the lengthy drive to get there.

We were a table of 12, but that wasn't really the problem. One person who ordered, her food was given to someone else. When she inquired, she ordered again and it took over an hour to get her food. Her second beer never arrived. Unfortunately, she said this is the norm here. She comes here often, mainly for the entertainment. The server was quick to take our original orders, but follow up was zero. No attempts to get second drinks, any other food, nothing. It wasn't that busy, so I'm not sure why the service was so bad. I flagged him down for my second drink after waiting over an hour, and my friend was still waiting for her beer. It was like our table was in the ignore zone. I would come back again, but would probably order from the bar for drinks. 20% tip was included in the bill because of large party. I'm sure my friend was pissed about that considering her service was terrible. Mine was meh. Overall it was a great evening with friends. The good outweighed the bad, but don't expect great service.

It's definitely a neighborhood bar, but with a slightly elevated vibe that makes you feel like you stumbled into the nice version of a local hangout, not the sticky‑floor kind. I ordered three rounds of Hendrick's and tonic, and my partner went with four rounds of Tito's and Sprite. When the bill came out to $140, I had to take a quiet moment with myself. Yes, Hendrick's is top shelf, but even with that in mind... whew. That total felt a little ambitious for a neighborhood bar in Cedar Park. I'm all for a good cocktail, but I also know what these pours cost elsewhere, and this pricing didn't quite match the setting. That said, the service was excellent. Our bartender was attentive, quick, and had that perfect balance of friendly without being overly chatty. She kept an eye on the bar, and we never had to wait long for a refill -- which I appreciated, especially since the place wasn't packed. Honestly, the smooth service was the highlight of the night. The vibe itself is cool -- a little eclectic, a little upscale, and clearly a favorite for the local crowd. It's the kind of place you go when you want to unwind without dealing with the Domain crowd or the chaos of downtown Austin. I can absolutely see why people love it. But between the drink prices and the overall experience, this is one of those spots I'd visit occasionally, not regularly. A cute neighborhood bar? Yes. A $140‑for‑seven‑drinks bar? Not for me.

Everything here is extremely overpriced, and I honestly don't understand why because the quality does not match the cost at all. The matcha was awful.

The fried pickles were the only thing that tasted decent, but even those were crazy overpriced. The vibe was just poorly executed. It felt like they couldn't decide what they wanted to be. The patio gives mediocre sports bar, the covered outdoor area has fluorescent lights and random sports on TV, and the inside feels like it wanted to be a Mexican diner but changed its mind halfway through. You order at the counter, but it felt like the cashier was making it up as she went along. I asked if they whisk their matcha or could tell me anything about it, the staff member just said she didn't know about matcha. Next, we asked about how they do a Froot Loop flavor. She said "it's a combination of syrups," I said "what syrups?" She said "housemade ones" and I said "what flavors?" Finally she told me it was vanilla and lavender, but it was like pulling teeth to get an answer. The customer service, quality, flavors, pricing, and decor were off. Best thing about this place was the cute street-facing sign.
