"Deckhand may look like just an oyster bar from outside, but it’s also secretly one of Austin’s best Thai restaurants. Take a quick glance at Deckhand’s menu and you’ll see popcorn shrimp, oysters on the half shell, and boudin sausage. Keep looking and you’ll start to see chicken satay, green curry soup, and thom ka gai. Start with an order of oysters—raw or broiled with crab meat, bacon, and cheese—then make your way through Thai classics in a nautical-themed dining room that’s decked out with twinkly lights and “Gone Fishin’” signs." - nicolai mccrary
