Stopped by to grab an ice cold Heineken and some of Texas best oysters. Tarzan was there showing his customers love! This is place is always a must go to!

If you've never had Deckhands you in for a true treat. Food portions are large which is a win in my book. But the flavors of literally EVERYTHING on the menu are Freaking FANTASTIC! The fried platters are always cooked perfectly and have a true unique flavor. Their Asian infusion throughout the options standout in the best of ways! Ive tried multiple plates and have yet to have a single bad bite across the options. I could eat here once a week and never get burned out! *I've been to both locations but the one on South Lamar has changed owners and the name is now Ocean Blue. So you're best bet is the Deckhands up north off Louis Henna.

Hands down the best Pad Thai I've ever eaten. And I've eaten that at many places. Balancing sweetness with spice is a difficult thing to do. Deckhand does it just right. The crawfish had a distinctive asian flavor. Come to find, the owners are Korean. Very flavorful.

Great food. Friendly staff. Vast menu. Service friendly and delivery was quick. Clean inside and out, with seating inside and out as well. Big bar with loads of drink options. Seafood galore. Fine Oysters and delicious shrimp. Definitely worth the trip.

Sat outside even though it was a bit hot. The waitress told us it was quite noisy inside. Service was pretty good. The food was tasty and the ice tea was plentiful. Caution if ordering the fried rice: The portion is enormous. You'd best be hungry or have 2-3 friends to share.

Love coming to new places that are great in every way. My wife and I were encouraged by friends to come here, and from the first bite of the shrimp satay, we knew this was a winner. As soon as we took that bite, we knew this was going to be a great meal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. HIGHLY recommend the shrimp satay as a starter.

Great casual place for fresh seafood and food in general. They also have Thai influenced dishes that are really good. The oysters were fresh and nicely cleaned out. The wings were nice awesome, crispy and delicious! I was a big fan of the previous ownership so I'm sad items like calamari fried rice is no longer on the menu but the food is just as good. I highly recommend coming here to enjoy food and hang out with friend.

Very different than I expected, it’s NOT just an oyster bar with some fried seafood baskets on the side. It’s good raw oysters, weak cocktail sauce, but strong horseradish, yum. Instead of just fried seafood baskets, there are all kinds of Thai and Asian food options. Hubby had shrimp pad Thai, and I had the crawfish etoufe. I liked his better than mine, BUT I have my own crawfish etoufe recipe that I love. Hubby thought theirs was good, but it wasn’t to my liking. His pad Thai was excellent.

This is the kind of place that instantly rewards you for showing up hungry because the menu has zero interest in subtlety. The crawfish étouffée comes out rich, saucy, and packed with bold Cajun flavor, the kind of comfort food that makes you slow down and fully commit to each bite with a scoop of rice. The wings are crispy, juicy, and coated in a sauce that hits all the right notes, messy in the best way and absolutely worth sacrificing a few napkins. Then there’s the fried catfish, perfectly golden on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, and so satisfying it makes you question why you ever order anything else when catfish is an option. The whole vibe is laid back, fun, and unapologetically indulgent, where laughter is loud, plates are shared, and nobody is pretending this is a light meal. You leave full, happy, and already thinking about how soon you can justify coming back.

It was kind of loud. Lots of people sitting at the bar. I had a really pleasant and informative waitress. The pad Thai had a good flavor, just enough food, not too much or too little. Good prices on both bottle and draft beer.

Deckhand Oyster Bar is a must-visit for fresh, flavorful seafood in Austin! The service is super friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. We ordered the huge raw oysters plate—fresh and perfectly chilled—along with a rich cup of seafood gumbo, steamed shrimp, crispy calamari, and golden hush puppies. Everything was delicious! Surprisingly, the buffalo bone-in wings were a standout too—packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. Great food, great vibe—we’ll definitely be back!

The stuffed mussels were overcooked and tuff. Grilled oysters were okay. The hush puppies were hard and overcooked, couldn't eat them. The fried oyster/shrimp plate was mediocre with the tempura batter instead of cornmeal/flour mixture.

Good food. Oysters were pretty good and loved that they had fried clam strips!!! Haven’t had those in a long time and they didn’t disappoint!! We did the broiled sampler oysters. For the most part, they were pretty good. Only downside is that this place didn’t have a liquor license. We shoooo coulda enjoyed a nice vodka sprite!

1st of all, Full bar and the bartender/s were gone from behind the bar a bunch, took over 20 minutes for them just to take my drink order & then another 20 minutes for my food order. The salmon portion as small as it gets and not very good. Absolutely garbage service and food in my opinion. Extremely sad when the owner is here every day on site and everyone around me at the bar is complaining about service

First time visiting and service was cool the environment was nice, happy people enjoying food. In my opinion the food was a NO GO! Everything I ordered was unseasoned, no touch of soul was added at any point. Oyster’s was decent I give it a 5 . My waitress was kind and helpful. Don’t recommend if you like, love seasoned food
