    CaJJun Swamp Grits
    Brittany D.

    Southern Food in Texas! Came to this restaurant and the menu had so many items that we wanted to try, so we got lot. We got the Gumbo, Mac and cheese, swamp grits, side salad, the palmetto, CAJJUN BOUDAIN EGG ROLLS as appetizers, and two mocktails- the NOLA NOJITO and the HURRICANE WARNING. The portion sizes were really big, the server that we had was so nice and gave us the suggestions about the egg rolls- which I appreciated, those were great. The time we came, it wasn't too packed, but it definitely was busy. The place was real chill, relax place to chill at and get some food. The only fault I had, was the seasoning- it was HIGHLY seasoned, you don't need to add anything else. I definitely drank through so water, but it was good. I'm glad it was not under-seasoned. I want to go back and try their seafood boil!

    Saturday night eats didn't disappoint. Our server was polite, attentive and friendly. He gave us menu recommendations and made sure we were good our entire time. The food was so delicious. I really enjoyed the cajun seafood pasta.

    How are we expected to eat with cheap plasticware?! A pork chop with flimsy plastic fork and knife? Unbelievable and the reason I won't be returning. Disappointing because I really enjoyed the food, especially the chicken and french toast. The french toast is not toast, but a large beignet. Both were delicious and enough to bring me back despite the service which was pretty non existent. But I can't overlook the plasticware when everything else is glass (plates/glasses).

    Went today for the first time with the hubby today. The customer service was awesome and so was the food.

    Recently stopped in for brunch and the French toast is still on my mind!! Their French toast tastes very similar to a funnel cake or beignet and it's simply delicious. It came with fried catfish which was fried to perfection and served with a yummy rémoulade sauce. We also order the shrimp and grits which was packed with flavor and so so good! Our server was friendly and attentive when we needed her. The restaurant is very lively and fun for a night out, birthday celebration or a casual Sunday. Add this to your list if you're in the North Austin area!

    I've been here a few times and it's always been a good vibe! The energy is always high and the food is usually good, it can be on the salty side when it comes to the fried seafood, but still tasty. The drinks are good and strong, the service is consistently good and the music is always on point. I look forward to sliding through every chance I get.

    We came in for a friend's birthday with a party of 10. Upon entering we noticed the modern decor , a large bar area with a stage near by, a large patio and plenty of seating. Our waitress Kiera was on point, having been a server myself for 10 years I think she did an amazing job on all aspects. Drink menu had a variety of options. I had the gummy bear shot and a friend tried both of the Hennessy drinks which were all delicious! Beer options that were actually in stock k were slim when we came, and they were out of a lot of the foods we tried to order as well, so that was a bit disappointing. 3 of us shared what we ordered and we ended up with the swamp fries 4/5, salmon bites 4/5 and the friend shrimp basket 5/5. Food is a bit pricy but the serving size made up for it. The fry/ batter on the shrimp was perfect as was the flavor. I will defiantly be back to try more of the menu!

    This place is absolutely awesome. My family and I came for brunch. The portions are big enough if you're hungry. Personally I had the chicken and waffles. Two perfectly and fried seasoned, crunchy chicken thighs on top of a fluffy waffle. There are so many words to describe it, but to put it simply, heavenly. The fish was too! Our server Jessica was so kind and didn't leave us without what we needed. Make sure to ask for her and leave a big tip! The place has that "hole in wall" feel to it and great music playing too!

    The Oakmont has such a great vibe, and I always enjoy the atmosphere, but I do wish they had more veg-friendly options. Since I don't eat eggs or dairy, the menu can feel a bit limiting for me. I recently went for a friend's birthday and ordered a salad, which was tasty, but let's be honest--who really wants a salad for brunch? That said, the vibes are always on point, and the outdoor seating is a nice bonus. Being right off Mass Ave, it's also perfect for a little bar hopping afterward. I just hope they expand their menu to accommodate more plant-based options!

    We wanted to go on a Saturday night and it was ! We're not crowd people anymore , but people looked like they were really enjoying themselves. We do go on Sundays, and all the menu items have been delicious. To me, it's a little pricey but I'm not paying so.... The drinks are good and STRONG!

    Food was HORRIBLE!!! Everything got sent back but my Sister big ole sweet potato flavored wings. That I wouldn't dare put in my mouth!!!! I ordered the fried pork chops and they came out burnt and the breading falling off. We all ordered salads which were warm and limp. Even though our food experience wasn't good we decided to stay for the vibe. Our table ordered a hookah and happy hour drinks. Happy hour drinks were watered down. But the after happy hour the drinks were good!!!! We started enjoying ourselves and after spending over $300 on drinks they told us they needed our booth, in which no one was there! We WON'T be back!

    On our first visit we enjoyed our dinner very much. Our waitress was very kind and communicative. However, one of our plates was slightly broken, and the plastic silverware did throw us off. If you aren't comfortable with others using hookah in the open while you're eating dinner then this wouldn't be the spot for you, but we didn't mind. Will definitely be back to try the infamous brunch menu.

The catfish and fried items weren't greasy, rancid, or carrying that old-oil taste that ruins a meal. For a place centered around fried food, that's important. Beyond that, the experience was pretty underwhelming. The food was bland and forgettable, cafeteria-quality at best. The salad bar was sparse with limited choices, and nearly everything being served on Styrofoam makes the entire place feel cheap and dated. Service was adequate but nothing memorable. Nobody was rude, but there wasn't much attention to detail or hospitality either. What really stood out was the condition of the facility. The restroom looked neglected, and the sink was partially detached from the wall. When customers see maintenance issues that obvious, it raises questions about the overall upkeep of the restaurant. I don't expect fine dining from a catfish buffet, but I do expect decent food, a clean facility, and some pride in presentation. Aside from the fryer oil being in good shape, there wasn't much here that would make me want to return. Pros: Clean-tasting fryer oil, food served hot. Cons: Bland food, limited salad bar, heavy use of Styrofoam, mediocre service, facility needs maintenance.

I know last time I got the clam chowder but hey, it was 102° outside! One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the cleanliness of the restaurant. It's wasn't too busy but the music was on the loud side. Maybe a touch lower please? The burrito was really nice. I thought that maybe my Mahi Mahi would be a little thicker? The fish seemed slim in comparison to the whole of the "Maines" entree. Jalapeño slices accompanied for some pizzazz. The sauce was flavorful and left no shortage of drips. I chose the side of fries. Perfectly made and absolutely screams fresh cut & fried. There's only one problem with them. They tasted fishy. That's because they fry them in the same fryer as the fish is fried. Not my kind of expectation with perfectly golden crisps. I would advise using a stand alone fryer for potatoes only please. Knox my server was very kind and hospitable & we enjoyed talking about the best hot sauce in the world which is found here, Belize's Marie Sharp's. That's a real winner to accompany your meal. Garbo's is classy but to get lobster which is what they're known for, you're going to have to pay for it. It was unfortunately a higher ticket item than I was willing to go for. Definitely improved in value from last time, thank you Garbo's. It's a nice place to dine & I hope to continue getting a superb value when I'm able to visit there again.

The shrimp was great plum and juicy. I felt like the batter was a little too thick and the batter didn't have any flavor in it. The flounder was good, but the fish was dry. I wish for the price point. The fish was a little thick thicker in meat. It was slightly sweet white meat so that was good. The chicken wings honestly are really good.

Sadly... this wasn't that experience. I ordered the boil with a pound of crab, head‑on shrimp, squid, corn, and those thin little sausage slices you see at most Cajun spots. The seasoning landed squarely in the middle -- not offensive, not impressive, just sitting there like it was waiting for someone to give it direction. I asked for hot, but what I got tasted more like a medium that didn't want to commit. And the shrimp? Head‑on and not deveined. That gave them a gamy, muddy undertone that took away from the whole boil. At this price point, deveining shouldn't be a luxury add‑on. We also tried the appetizer sampler -- calamari, egg rolls, cheese sticks -- and everything tasted suspiciously similar, like it all took the same little swim in the same fryer without a break. Nothing was terrible, but nothing had personality. These were the kind of appetizers you can find anywhere, and not the kind you remember later. My partner ordered the shrimp po'boy, and while the portion was generous, the breading overwhelmed the shrimp. He ended up peeling most of it off just to get to the actual protein. When the breading becomes the main character, that's a sign the dish needs editing. Now, the mixed drinks? Those were actually good -- balanced, not overly sweet, and honestly the highlight of the meal. And I have to give credit where it's due: our waitress was attentive, friendly, and checked on us consistently without hovering. She did everything right. The food just didn't match her level of service. And look... I'm not trying to be dramatic, but I've had better crab at HEB during crawfish season for a fraction of the price. When your grocery‑store boil is hitting harder than the restaurant version, that's saying something. Overall, Surfing Crab wasn't a disaster, but it wasn't memorable either. For the price and the concept, I expected more depth, more spice, and more care in the prep. This one's a pass for me -- especially when I know I can get fresher, better‑seasoned seafood elsewhere without the premium price tag.
