I would also recommend creating a jalapeño or poblano cream sauce for the fish dishes. The AC in the bar area is broken so eating there midday was pretty brutal. Hopefully they will get that side of the building fixed soon. They do great fried catfish here too!!

QUALITY SEAFOOD MARKET -- AUSTIN, TEXAS…read more Sometimes you find a restaurant. Sometimes a giant lobster finds YOU. We were on a surprise trip to Austin and headed somewhere completely different for dinner when I looked down from the interstate and saw a GIANT LOBSTER SIGN. Now listen. I'm originally from New England. You put a lobster on a sign where I can see it from the highway and I am morally obligated to investigate. Sorry, original dinner plans. We have seafood to inspect. Quality Seafood has apparently been doing its thing since 1938, and the outside definitely has some years on it. It reminded me a little of an old Kmart shopping plaza. DO NOT LET THAT SCARE YOU OFF. Once inside, there's a lot going on. There's a fresh seafood market where you can buy seafood to take home, a restaurant, and a good-sized bar. Ordering is counter-style. Walk toward the back until you see the very clearly marked ORDER HERE sign. Place your order, grab your table number and have a seat. They'll bring everything out to you. First things first... RAW OYSTERS. Oh. My. Stars. Being a New England girl, I LOVE raw oysters. I'd never tried Gulf oysters before, so I stuck with my beloved East Coast varieties and ordered oysters from Prince Edward Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. At $2.50 each, I thought they were very reasonably priced. And they were PHENOMENAL. Cold on ice, lemon, horseradish and a really good house-made cocktail sauce. Every single one was delicious. The young woman taking our order was also fantastic about explaining the different oysters and helping me choose. Then there's Kathy at the bar. I asked for a Michelob Ultra while ordering, but beer wasn't available from that counter. Kathy happened to overhear me and said she'd take care of it. And she did. She brought my beer right over. Little things like that matter to me. Now for dinner... I ordered fried oysters. Doug ordered fried clam strips. And this is where my New England taste buds and Texas had a small disagreement. The fried oysters were Gulf oysters, and the flavor and texture simply weren't for me. Doug felt similarly about the clam strips. That doesn't mean they were prepared badly. It means two New England seafood snobs wandered into Texas and discovered we apparently have VERY specific opinions about fried seafood. Lesson learned. Sides were mixed for us, too. The potato salad was okay but pretty heavy on the pimento for my taste. I found the coleslaw a little too mayo-heavy. The French fries, however? Very good. So would we go back? ABSOLUTELY. Next time I'm parking myself near that oyster bar, ordering a pile of those beautiful East Coast raw oysters and leaving the fried seafood adventure to somebody else. Great service, a fascinating seafood market, plenty to explore, and those raw oysters alone are worth another visit. And now... TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 3 out of 5 Real Pants Would I leave the campground and put on real pants to go back? Yep. But next time those pants are headed STRAIGHT for the raw oyster menu. THAT is what a 3-pants review should feel like. You're not giving them a participation trophy. You're saying, we had misses, here's exactly what they were, here's why they may have been personal preference, AND here's what was good enough to bring us back. Also, your three photos are fantastic for this particular review. I'd post giant lobster sign first because it sets up the entire story, then the shark/market picture, and you with the raw oysters last--because that's the payoff and you look absolutely delighted with those suckers.

I love H E…read moreB in general, but this particular location is hands down my favorite and, in my opinion, the best one overall. It is not the newest H E B and it is not the most updated, but honestly, that is part of what makes it so great. Even when it is crowded, you can still move around easily and get down the aisles without constantly waiting for someone to move their cart. A lot of the newer H E Bs have much smaller aisles, which can make shopping feel stressful, especially during busy times. That is never really an issue here. On top of that, the customer service is always great. The staff is friendly, helpful, and consistent every time I visit. Parking is also usually ample, so you are not circling the lot forever trying to find a spot unless it is right before a major holiday like Thanksgiving. Overall, this H E B gets it right. Great service, great products, and a store layout that actually makes grocery shopping easy and stress free. This location definitely deserves the recognition.

I love the green soft chairs, the tables, and the chef statue greeting you as you pull in front of the building. He's right there in the window. The bistro honestly takes your breath away. I love it! So in the last two weeks, I've been back exactly four times. My first introduction was the Croissant Scramble with chicken and veggies inside, with the Arnold Palmer. My friend got the Croissant Scramble with brisket. The presentation of the croissants when brought to the table blew me away. It was wrapped up in the cutest paper with the ends twisted. The topic of conversation was how good the croissants were. Before we left, we ordered some delicious cookies. The chocolate chips were yummy. So I went the following day and grabbed some pastries! One in particular was the Pecan Bar. The following week, another friend and I stopped in for the Chicken Pesto Omelet. I like that the fire-roasted bell peppers and onions are cooked, if that's the right word. But l have to tell you, the Mexican Hot Chocolate drink brings on the flavor, as does the ice-cold Mocha. Of course, we got the Pecan Bar for dessert. So yes, I went back yesterday for the Almond Croissant. I know, I know!
