    This was our first visit to Truluck's. To say we were impressed is an understatement. Even though we were early for our reservation we were seated immediately. The staff were accommodating and helpful with suggestions. Our meals were excellent - beautiful presentation, fabulous taste, and just enough to fill us up without feeling stuffed. Overall one of the best dining experiences we have enjoyed.

    I was visiting Austin for the weekend for a birthday trip and chose Trulucks for dinner. Arthur, my server was great, attentive and offered suggestions and tailored my meal to my wants. All the staff was extremely friendly and my birthday dessert was absolutely amazing. Actually, it was all amazing! I would highly recommend them!

    I’m a frequent visitor to Trulucks! It was a very poor night. The waiter consistently interrupted conversation in the beginning, then disappeared for long periods. He was more interested in upselling food and wine to us. After tonight, I won’t be going back and will frequent Bob’s and Eddy V’s instead. Very unfortunate!
    Truluck's - Ocean's Finest Seafood & Crab - Austin DowntownResponded on April 23, 2025
    Hello Steve, We’re truly sorry to hear that your recent visit did not reflect the high standards of hospitality and service we strive to uphold; especially for one of our valued frequent guests.

Your feedback is incredibly important to us, and we will be addressing this with our team to ensure it is used as an opportunity to improve. While we're disheartened by your decision, we do hope you'll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the exceptional experience you've come to expect from Truluck’s.
