"Deckhand may look like just an oyster bar from outside, but it’s also quietly one of Austin’s best Thai restaurants. Show up during crawfish season, and you’ll be able to try the Deckhand special seasoning—a blend of housemade Cajun spice mix with lots of garlic and butter. Crawfish is sold by the pound, with corn, mushrooms, potatoes, and sausage available as add-ons. Deckhand currently has two locations, one in far north Austin near Round Rock, and the other at South Lamar and 360. " - nicolai mccrary
