Always the BEST drinks, food, and views! 🌅 One of our absolute favorites, I recommend Hula Hut to everyone and always bring out-of-town guests here to experience the magic. ✨

We had such a great experience at Hula Hut! The atmosphere was fun, the food was delicious, and the views made it even better. Julian, the manager, stood out to us right away — he was working alongside the servers, checking on tables, and helping out wherever needed. When we went to leave a tip, he kindly asked us to give it to his waitress instead, which really showed his character and teamwork. It’s rare to see that kind of leadership and humility in a manager. We’ll definitely be coming back — everything about our visit was amazing! Also the Hawaii Burger was top tier!

We were looking for a casual place along the river and this fit the bill. The chicken burger Hawaiian style was DELICIOUS! I would have enjoyed a better view of the river there but it was somewhat of a crowded section of the river with a small boat dock and a couple of other restaurants close by. We had to park across the street but it was good to walk off that delicious burger. Did I mention that it was delicious?

We only had drinks and appetizers but everything was great. Nice lakeside view. Bartenders were friendly and quick with drink orders. Next I will have to try more food

My 19 month old daughter, and I went to Hula Hut a couple weeks ago, and the moment I walked in the door, I was welcomed by a smiling host who told me I was a great dad. He brought us to a table overlooking the docs and the dam. He did not provide a high chair, but I was planning on having my daughter sit on my lap anyway so she didn’t make as much of a mess, so no worries there. Miguel was our server, and he was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive to our drink refills. He even took the broccoli off the bill because I told him it tasted odd even though I told him that I had no problem paying for it since I ordered it. Very genuine and very kind server. All the other food was amazing though; from the seafood taquitos, the french fries, the fried shrimp, the seasonal veggies, and the virgin Mai Tai. Miguel and the host were awesome and I absolutely loved the setting. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. We will definitely be back and we hope we have the same host and Miguel as our server!

We love this place. It’s on our list of places to bring out of town guests. The docking set up makes it so much fun to pop in while boating. Indoor and outdoor seating. All covered. The menu has a lot of options. The chips are thin, freshly fried, and crispy. The salsa is delicious. The kids loved the Nina colada. They were able to accommodate allergies. Great service. Thank you! For other activities: It’s located near Mount Bonnell for a quick way to capture the sunset and views.

We really enjoyed our experience at Hula Hut. The concept is a Mexican–Hawaiian fusion, so it’s not traditional Mexican food, but a mix with a tropical twist. If you are looking for very authentic Mexican cuisine, this might not be the place. However, if you are open to trying something different, it’s definitely worth it. We ordered the big platter and it was very good. The portions were quite large, perfect for sharing. The flavors and presentation were well done. The atmosphere is one of the best parts. It’s a very picturesque place, especially because it’s close to the lake. The service was attentive and efficient. Overall, food, service, and atmosphere were all very good. It’s a great spot to enjoy a nice time in Austin.

Place is lively and happening but food is not as great as the place it self. I have had much better hawaiian food. Their enchiladas are very soggy.

Great option for eating on Lake Austin. We've been able to pull our boat in available slips each time we've visited, and the slips are good. Wait staff have always been knowledgeable and pleasant. Large food portions and not super overpriced compared to other on the water restaurants. Food is pretty good. We especially like their salsa that has hints of pineapple.

Oyster Landing Marina turned out to be a fantastic spot for a relaxed meal by the water. The atmosphere is fun, lively, and very “Austin” — colorful tables, friendly staff, and a real lake-side charm that makes you want to stay longer. The food in Hula Hut was excellent. We ordered fajitas, and everything came out fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The grilled chicken with pineapple was perfect, and all the sides guacamole, pico, cheese, beans, rice, and warm tortillas - made it a proper feast. Nothing felt rushed or pre-made; it tasted like real, comforting Tex-Mex done right. If you’re looking for a casual place with great food and beautiful views, Oyster Landing Marina is definitely worth a stop. I’ll happily return next time I’m in Austin.

Really good food but the atmosphere was really amazing. The staff was also really friendly and the food was really good. unfortunately i’ve been eating to much the whole day so i was overwhelmed with the amount of food.

Jessica P Bradshaw

I wasn't sure what to expect when we arrived, but the atmosphere was very laid-back and pleasant. It was so nice to eat outside in the open air. Our server was great, and the food was fantastic. They serve a unique Tex-Mex Hawaiian blend, and I had the Big Enchilada, which was very good. I'm giving them 4 stars because the food was tasty and homestyle feel - nothing over the top. Thank goodness (lunch time) the music and noise level was such that it was easy to have a conversation. There is also plenty of room for large groups.

The food was good the drinks were great 👍🏽. I loved the view it was perfect the time was around 7pm . I will definitely go again even though it took about 10min for a waiter to acknowledge us.

We visited here while in town for the high school state track meet. We waited around 30-45 minutes for a table and were finally able to grab an outdoor high seated table. The lights were out on the umbrella unfortunately, so our meal was pretty dark. Our order was accidentally passed over, so we waited about an hour for our food. However, our waiter checked in often, apologized, and was very friendly. The food was pretty good - my burrito was massive and the Donkey Punch was strong. Although not the best visit, I would give this place another try in the future.

Have been to Hula Hut before and had a bad experience with service but thought I would try them again. This last time I visited my server sucked she was not helpful at all very inattentive. She seemed passive aggressive never refilled our water or gave a refill on chips. She also brought out the wrong items that she asked us about. Food was good at best. Server overcharged us for our order and took so long to come back to our table. Only way I would come back to this place was if they made it up to me by giving me better service and a free meal. The view is the best thing here.

When my boyfriend showed me the place, I loved it, but once we sat down I realized that all the one-star reviews I had read were absolutely right. Still, I wanted to give it a chance and experience it for myself. 1. The host was completely clueless and instantly killed the expectations I had just from seeing such a beautiful place. He told us we had to wait 30 minutes for a table outside by the lake, but then a very kind man working there immediately told us to follow him to check availability and sure enough, there was plenty. 2. The waiter we got… no comments. He really left a lot to be desired. 3. The food… the chicken was like chewing gum; I have no idea how they managed to cook it like that. The enchilada my boyfriend ordered was… ehh, just okay. 4. The margarita I ordered tasted more like juice, but I actually liked it. It’s incredibly obvious that the people working here couldn’t care less about anything. Go somewhere else, that’s all.

We came here with my wife as first time visitors in Austin. We carefully chose spots to dine in and looking at the reviews Hula Hut seemed like a very nice place. I am warning you do not be fooled by the reviews like we were. The moment we walked in the service went downhill. We were seated at very inconvenient spot, somewhere that should only be the last seat left to be seated on and there was plenty of room. Then we waited for quite some time for the server to finally get us and it was not that busy at all. We order two drinks but got one and our chips were missing their salsa. I had to tell the server one of our drinks and salsa is missing for him to finally bring them. After we got our desserts, I had tres leches it was not bad but also not so good that I can recommend it. My wife had order fried ice cream but what she was served was soggy Cinnamon Toast Crunch coated ice cream. I would say think twice before coming here.
