    Cup or Clam Chowder
    James F.

    Garbo's Dripping Springs. Growing up in Hays County I never in a million years thought that word pairing would come out of my mouth. But, it's happened. Taking over the space that was formerly a French restaurant. They failed because they were never open. I actually feared this when Garbo's initially opened only seeing dinner hours to start. Lunch and brunch service are now a thing and we've been in to dine twice. No, it's not cheap. This ain't LJS or Red Lobster; prices I think are are on point for the portions. Case in point would be the New England Clam chowder. $13 for a generous cup; $21 for literally a half gallon of goodness. It's been the GF's goto both visits. Creamy with additional notes of savory like bacon and old bay sprinkle? She also likes the OG Fish Burrito in bowl form to save carbs. We even took young teenager Rooster F. along on the last visit. He loved the soup and his Fish and Chips. No complaints about the breading as some have mentioned. OMG, my kiddo is finally growing into a foodie. Next weekend he'll his revolving sushi trip I've promised since June. I've had the Linguini and Clams twice now. Something you don't get too often in Texas. Razor thin garlic slices nestled in between the delicate pasta. I do have a question though having not visited the northern east coast. Are all clams this small? Similar size to the Clams Casino at The Palm San Antonio. The dish topped with open clam shells. Carefully remove and stir for a great dish; grilled bread was the perfect vessel to sop up the remnants. One dessert we tried was the Chocolate Pot de Creme. Flavorful and creamy; hints of orange with sea salt on the back. Will be back over and over!

    Popped in on our way out of town about 40 minutes before close; we were welcomed with smiles and wonderful service. We sat at the bar, hubby and I shared our food tapas style and it was delicious. The bartender was sweet and mixed me up a great gin drink. Lobster was on point!

    So glad we finally get some more tasty options here in DS! Make reservations as it gets bustling! Great drinks, service and food. Had to have the usual lobster roll, but the soft crab sammy was also flavorful! Oysters super fresh!

    Lobster pot pie for the win!

    I was short on time so I decided to order take out from Garbos. I'm from the northeast so my visit to Garbos was long over due. OMG! I was delighted with everything I ordered & I can't wait to go back and have the full dining experience. The lobster pot pie was a delight and a very large serving. I ordered all the small bites. The fish taco & tuna tostada were great. I almost didn't order the empanada because well mine are the best. But I'm so glad I did. The smoked tuna with the chimichurri was delicious. It was more of a pastry dough than empanada dough but it paired well with the smoked tuna & it will be the first thing I order next time. If take out was this great, I can't wait to come back. A huge thank you for to the staff & the chef for accommodating my son's food allergies and confirming everything. I was at piece trying a new place which is priceless.

    I'm so happy to get Garbos in Dripping Springs. I've been to their Pflugerville location and loved it. The food was delicious and everything had large portions and was served at the perfect temperature. They did a great job with turning the old restaurant into their own! The decor is very well done and has a very nice New England vibe to it. Our waitress disappeared for a little while and we had to wait for her to come back and were never offered refills on our drinks. We will be back - probably not a regular place because it is pretty pricey - $19 for a cup of lobster bisque is a lot (especially for me being from Maine and being used to lobster for $10)

    Depiction of what Garbo's prices

    Let's put it this way: if Garbo's prices were Kylo Rens fleet of AT-AT walkers, then my wallet would be Luke Skywalker. (Depiction in the attached photo) Food was half decent though, and GOT dayum, Conners cream was delightful! "Cream me up and call me Conner" is what me and the lads always say!

    If Garbo's is the clone within the manned turret attached to the Republic LAAT Gunship, my wallet would be the B1 battle droid fighting for the separatists on Geonosis. The food is exceptional however, and the Connors are creamy.

    Sam B.

    If my wallet was Alderaan, Garbo's was the Death Star. Good food though. Connor creamy.

    Maine style lobster roll

    Friends told us about the Garbo's in downtown Austin but we decided to come to Drippings Spring instead. The restaurant decor is fun and reminds us of Maine. Our server is very attentive and super friendly, letting us taste the smoked fish dip which was delicious! The main stars of the show, the lobster rolls are AMAZINGLY SUMPTUOUS. The lobster is fresh, plump, and very tasty. Even better than the ones we had in Maine. Will definitely come back for more!

    Hours are not as advertised. Who is only open from Tues - Thursday 3pm-6pm? Has to be one of the silliest schedules I've ever seen.

We ordered the spinach artichoke dip. It looked great and tasted great, but there just wasn't much of it. We each took a small scoop and it was basically gone. I had about 3-4 chips with dip, and then we were left with a plate full of chips and no dip. Usually it's the opposite, or you need to order extra chips. I'm not sure if the portion is smaller during half-price apps or if that's just how it's served. The table next to us ordered the taco appetizer and those looked really good. I ordered the fish and chips--my first time having them here--and they came out pretty dark, which made me wonder if the oil might have been old. We were caught up in conversation and I forgot to take photos of our meals. It was my friend's first time visiting, and they brought her out a complimentary dessert, which was a really nice touch. We sat on the patio and it was a beautiful night--lots to look at and enjoy. I'd definitely go back, and next time I might make a full meal out of the half-price appetizers.
