    Decided to stop by this place for the first time on a whim. When I came in with my family, we ordered the lunch special, which I highly recommend. It is a great value for high-quality seafood. The interesting thing about this place is it is a fusion of Vietnamese and Cajun food. The interior is decorated with family photos and intimate shots from the wall, giving it a very unique personality. Evelyn the bartender is very friendly and professional.

    We went in this past Tuesday afternoon, service was friendly and quick. There were a couple other parties dining in, we opted to go. Have since gone back and dined in, the service was friendly. The boiled seafood is really good, the wings are also good, the boudin balls have potential but the breading is a no go, believe t's panko and it lacks flavor so I couldn't get a fair assessment on the taste of the boudin itself.

    If you're looking for more of a citrus taste for seafood boil then this is the best place! I ordered garlic noodles - was good but not impressive. The sides were decent but I really did enjoy the candied yams. Definitely would come back!

    Y'all! It's live crawfish season and HappyRito has my favorite style, that Casian style.The Happy sauce is a mixture of Cajun and Asian spices. Soooooo good! We've ordered delivery many many times, This is the first time I actually came in and ordered takeout. It took about Today I ordered 3 lb of crawfish (appx $15 pp) happy style, which comes with one potato and one corn. I added sausage ($5) and one blue crab ($12). I love the happy sauce! I also ordered the lunch special mini boil with 1 lb of shrimp two eggs and corn. The mini boil comes with a drink too, sweet tea. It's saweeeeet. I also ordered the lunch special fried fish (flounder) with coleslaw and mac'n cheese, also came with a drink, unsweetened tea. This came to about $110. The food was good And we will definitely order again. There is indoor dining, about 8 tables and barstool seating at the bar. You order and wait to be seated at the counter.

    I had the 1/2 order with shrimp and flounder and sides of fries, hush puppies, and yams. My appetizer was crab eggrolls and my friend's was boudin balls. She had the flounder covered in étouffée and a side of fried okra. The okra was the best we ever had. The flounder was fried hard and still juicy. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and fully cleaned without being butterflied. The yams was delicious. The eggrolls were ok not my favorite. Did not like the hush puppies at all. Had the mango passion fruit tea my friend had mango lemonade. My overall rating is 8.5/10 and hers was a 9/10. It is a small/quaint space but I'd eat there again.

    Service isnt the best , very unorganized, small seating area ,prices is super high i neverrrrr heard 1 cluster is a pound!! And its a small snow crab!! U pay alot for under achievement, u only can get crawfish 3lb . The seasoning is decent , but the shrimps are superrrr over cook i really wanted to like this place i drove 30 mins to try it , if i do try again il grab the crawfish from the front togo its $8:99 a lb way more reasonable . I paid 55 for what u see in the photo no corn no potato not worth it!

    I'm a big big crawfish lover, and although this wasn't the cheapest place we could've gotten fresh crawfish in Texas, it was pretty darn good. The crawfish were huge, especially compared to what we normally get in California. This place is a Viet-Cajun style, and although I did enjoy the flavors, places like Boiling Crab nail the vietnamese fusion better. It was about $39+ for 3 lbs of crawfish. You have to put your name down on the waitlist there and then wait, which isn't ideal but once you're seated the food comes out pretty quick!

    As a native Houstonian, I have a very high standard for crawfish, and I can say with confidence this is the best crawfish in Austin. The happy sauce is the classic viet cajun style and it was delicious. The gumbo and po boy were also good, but the crawfish is definitely the star of the show. The cashier was also very friendly and helpful.

    This spot gets a 3.5, rounded up to 4, from me. Maybe we went a little early in crawfish season, but the crawfish were on the smaller side. The crawfish weren't overcooked and did soak up a good amount of the sauce flavors. The sauce was good, but not great. (The garlic butter is what made me round up to 4 instead of down to 3.) This place was also hyped up for me so maybe my expectations were too high lol. But it's a chill and casual dine-in spot with bar service too.

    Ashley M.

    I'm super proud of how this place has grown!! It's super packed in here! I remember when this was just my little hidden gem; but I decided to stop "gatekeeping" and share! lol still the best in Austin!

    Hannah P.

    The food was delicious. Highly recommend the Cajun okra. Those were addicting - if you're a fried food type of person. The crawfish boil had a really good flavor. The wings were also good. They were not tiny and had a lot of meat on it! My kind of wings. =p There's not many seatings inside, first come basically. To order, you place it at the front counter first.

    The restaurant was cute and had nice pictures of I'm guessing the owners family. You had to order through a QR code or at the bar area. The service was basically none existent, the food took a long time to come out, I'd say like 25-30mins for just this plate, during this time they did not give me my drink until the food came out so I was just sitting there. The "parmesan" fries were cold and literally is just sprinkle Parmesan on top of regular French fries. The Mac n cheese definitely needed salt and pepper which was made it taste better. I'd give it a solid 6 after the S&P. The shrimp were the star of the show, fried crispy, the flavor was really good and the shrimp were really big. The portion was good size especially for lunch. The restaurant walls have seafood boil sauce splattered on them as well, so not the cleanest. OVERALL not bad but not amazing! I'm on the edge if I'd come back maybe to try to an actual seafood boil.

    I have always drove past HappyRitos and finally stopped by. Glad I did this might be the best seafood boil I've had. Got it in the spiciest level and it's just the right amount of you are used to spicy food. Service is fast and ordering is easy and to the point. Definitely stopping by again!

I was sat in the room to the right, where there were 9-12 tables with one server during my meal. At one point I counted 25 patrons and 11 tables that she was taking care of (assuming she did not have other tables on the main or patio seating areas). This woman was amazing! I can only hope that not every night is so busy for her and that the business is not taking advantage of her awesomeness to save money by not hiring additional help.

That told me a lot right off the bat. Let me skip to the real stuff, everything tasted microwaved. You know if you were to make a batch of French fries, then let it sit out for 4 or 5 hours and when someone orders some you just throw them in the microwave and reheat them? Yeah, that was the vibe with EVERYTHING!!! Cold and rubbery exterior with a boiling hot interior. MICROWAVE!!!! The French fries, the Boudin Balls, the fried green tomatoes, all MICROWAVED!!! The burger was overcooked and sitting in a pile of clear grease so as I had to ask for a new burger bun. The catfish was flavorless, and microwaved, the chicken fried steak plate was cold and rubbery, the crawfish on top of the fried green tomatoes was so rubbery, like whacky wall walkers. Change your name to Mouton's, Bar and Grille, remove Bistro off the name you clod. We'll never be back.

The food is always incredible, but what truly sets this place apart is the people. Kylie, Nathan, Maddie, and so many others on the team consistently go above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. Their kindness never feels forced -- it's just who they are. One moment that really stayed with me was when I brought my young niece, who has several allergies and can also be a bit picky with food. The chef personally came out to our table to ask thoughtful questions, understand her allergies better, and make sure she felt safe and comfortable eating there. That level of care meant so much to our family. Now that I'm pregnant, the staff continues to be just as attentive, accommodating, and thoughtful. They always make sure I'm comfortable and taken care of, and it honestly feels like visiting friends every time we walk through the door. Restaurants with great food are everywhere. Restaurants with genuinely wonderful people are rare. Jack Allen's is one of those rare places, and we're incredibly grateful for the amazing team there.

My husband got the fried pork chop and said it was cooked perfectly and that the gravy was delicious. Overall, an enjoyable meal and we would return.

The pluses of this place: The chicken is really good, both on the bone or in tenders or sandwiches. The OG sandwich is for a big stomach, be warned, but it is delicious. Nashville hot chicken has a real spectrum of heat, so work your way up until you get to the level you're comfortable with. The selection of sides are country favorites, and the broccoli salad I tried last night is the only one I didn't care for. The pies are outstanding, and they are advertised as complimentary. The minuses: The waitstaff is consistently undermanned. The group of tables we use when we go there is served by the bartender, so when the bar is busy service is slow. Likewise, they have a drive-through window and so the kitchen can get backed up. Last night, it took 20 minutes between ordering and getting our food. Finally, they have a Korean hot chicken variant, which is not very close to good Korean hot chicken and they should stick to Nashville hot. Hint: park in the adjoining lot. Most of the spaces at Tumble 22 are reserved for pick-up.
