Unbelievably delicious meal. The service was impeccable, plus there was live music which was another bonus to the evening! We had the jumbo shrimp cocktail and a salad to start, Alaskan king crab legs, Parmesan mashed potatoes, and asparagus for our entrees, and a baked Alaskan for dessert. 5 stars all around. We were very impressed and can’t wait to be back!
Probably the best service experience I’ve had any any restaurant anywhere. OUTRAGEOUS seafood.
Just wonderful. Our third time to celebrate our anniversary with Truluck’s and they never disappoint. The service was perfect—from the initial greeting all the way through to the end. Attentive, warm and knowledgeable. The food was spectacular as always, both seafood (my husband had the scallops) and beef (I had the perfect filet). I can’t recommend this place enough. We will be back!
Servers were excellent and very observant. We didn’t have to ask for refills and they made good menu recommendations!
The only Trulucks location I will ever go to. Impeccably hard to do better, when this location is superbly the best.
Do not order Salmon. For the 2nd time, this dish was cooked on the outside and almost raw on the inside.
The Dutch Hiramasa was OK, but the grape and tomato garnish was too tart to eat. Probably should order an extra side.
Our calamari appetizer was excellent as always.
The service is top notch and the atmosphere is rather elegant, quiet and peaceful, which is why we come here.
I had ordered a special desert for our 52nd wedding anniversary and the young lady failed to relay the request to the kitchen, so we got baked Alaska which I had told her we do not care for.
fresh food, great service, good social distance between tables.
Exceptional food and service. Thank you for a very memorable evening out!
My came here for a valentines date and it couldn’t have been more excellent. The atmosphere was nice, the service was top notch, and we had a live pianist playing in the background. Great night.
We’ve been celebrating special occasions at this Truluck’s location for 20 years. Never disappoints! Quality food and service every, single time!
Were not forthcoming with how high the market prices were. I feel completely robbed. Been going there for 14 years. Will never step foot in there ever again.
Thank you Truluck’s for always being delicious and amazing. Our servers, Robin and Phil, were on point and on top of our every need, even providing a special menu for our dietary restrictions. The whole team from the host, to the servers to the bread delivery was perfectly executed. We love celebrating with you guys. See you soon!
We had a great anniversary dinner — with very attentive and excellent service from Parker and Phil.
Everytime we go to Trulucks we are impressed. We live pretty far (about 38 minutes) but we make it out here minimum twice per month because we love it so much. We have tried all other steakhouse/seafood restaurants downtown and each time we try one, we end up missing Trulucks more. The food is fantastic as is the atmosphere, but the best part is the team. The entire restaurant is personable, thoughtful, professional and has a knack for remembering all of your favorites. The entire experience leaves you feeling that they were EXCITED for you to be there, and they truly want you to come back to enjoy your company. We we will be lifetime customers.
Went for my 21st Birthday. I had king crab for the first time and it was amazing.
The service and food was outstanding! The employees were friendly and helpful, and our server was personable and knowledgable. Our food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We will definitely be back.
Once again they deliver with super service and exceptional tasting food.
This will be our go to place when down in Austin.
Thanks for hosting me and four 12 year old boys as we celebrated our son’s birthday party. Everyone was in for a treat from the service to the food and beyond. Perfect and delicious.
One of our favorite spots. Staff is always top notch and very helpful. No matter what, try the Lobster Mashed Potatoes.
Very nice restaurant, we ate so much and everything was so good! I will definitely be visiting again
My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary, and it was the perfect place! I was actually uncertain beforehand, wondering if it would feel just like any other fancy restaurant without being unique enough, and I was so wrong. This place made every little detail feel so special. The food was incredible. Every bit of the service was thoughtful, personal, and so kind. I would come back in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone, especially anyone celebrating a special occasion you’d like to spend in a beautiful environment, feeling truly cared for, and with delicious food. Thank you to everyone at Truluck’s for the wonderful experience!
Excellent service excellent food!

Truluck’s is my favorite restaurant The food is great. The staff is awesome.
We were doing an overnight early Valentines and selected this restaurant and very glad we did. Pleased with our selections of food, and Phil & Robin ensured our every want was fulfilled for an early dinner. Highly recommend.
As always....a terrific experience....food, service, ambiance, etc.
thank you!!
Great birthday experience
Wow! We celebrated my son’s 17th birthday and Trulucks didn’t disappoint!
From the warm greeting, the attention to detail by Patrick and his team, and the excellent food, we had a fantastic experience!
First time with Truluck’s and the service was outstanding! The staff was very professional and kind. The South African lobster tail = *chef kiss*
I've been to this location several times and they always exceed expectations. Everything from the service to the drinks to the food was incredibly and I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough.
The oysters and Ahi Tuna were some of the best we’ve ever had!
Awesome staff from the door to the table.
Exceeded my expectations! amazing food, service and ambience. We will be back.
Our son enjoyed celebrating his birthday with our family of 4 at Truluck’s downtown Austin last Monday. Staff were very attentive and friendly, and the manager stopped by more than once to ensure we were happy. The surface paid parking lot across the street is no longer there but now under construction with a high rise, but the valet was quick and easy and worth the $12 + tip. It was very quiet downtown, likely because of the MLK holiday, which was fine by us. The food was yummy - we each had the amazing lobster bisque, then shared the Napoleon tower appetizer. The rolls are a hit with the fancy butter and served HOT. We each got a different entree and shared tastes - our favorites were the seared tuna and the sea bass. I got the Atomic shrimp cocktail appetizer for my entree as I knew I wouldn’t be very hungry after so many apps, and it did not disappoint! This is a place we can only really afford to splurge once a year for his birthday or special occasion and it was excellent. Total bill was around $75/pp, including 1 bottle of conservatively priced Chardonnay for the 2 adults and many nonalcoholic beverages for the kids (lemon pelligrino). Highly recommend! 🦀🎉
Lovely ambiance, had a great time
Went for my wife’s birthday I got the ribeye she got the filet both medium the steaks were way too charred the lobster mash was awesome and the service was excellent no complaints there. I felt that the ribeye was a lower grade of meat or at least the loin it came from wasn’t up to par but sides and crab Louie cocktail was delicious.
One of the best restaurants in Austin
Always an excellent experience.
Went for my fiance's birthday! Excellent service by the entire staff. From entering the establishment to departure. First class experience!
Always a good dinner at trulucks. I’ve been eating at the restaurant for years religiously. Stone crab amazing, catch the Florida stone crab while in season!
