"The po’boy menu at Turf N’ Surf is extensive. And by that we mean there are about 22 options—from oyster and jumbo shrimp to chicken parm and pork chops—many of which can be fried, grilled, or blackened. The end result is an almost infinite number of sandwich combinations (but really, more like 51). Many of the fish options come at “market price,” which can translate to “whoa, that was a little more than I was expecting.” But the emphasis here is fresh, wild-caught Gulf seafood, and the fact that you’re getting all of it at a sports bar pretty far from the nearest coast helps justify it." - nicolai mccrary
"The menu at Turf N’ Surf pulls equally from the land and sea, with an extensive selection of seafood and meat options, all available as po’boys, tacos, or salads. Despite being located in the back of a sports bar, this is the type of place that lists most of the fish at “market price,” which often translates to “whoa, that was a little more than I was expecting.” But when everything is fresh from the Gulf, we’re OK spending a few extra dollars." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"The po’boy menu at Turf N’ Surf is long. And by that we mean there are about 22 options—from oyster and jumbo shrimp to chicken parm and pork chops—meaning you could eat a po’boy every single day for almost a month without repeating. And even longer than that if you consider that each of the seafood options can be made fried, grilled, or blackened. The big emphasis here is on fresh, wild-caught Gulf seafood. And while the po’boys are very tasty, be ready to shell out a few extra bucks. They come with thick-cut pickles, red onions, large sheets of lettuce, and a thick layer of coleslaw. Conventional? Maybe not—but pretty damn good." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
"The “surf” side of the menu here is extensive, with 13 different seafood options, all of which can be fried, grilled, or blackened and prepared as po’boys, tacos, or salads. The end result is over 100 different ways to enjoy a meal—and that’s without even getting to the “turf” side of things. Despite being located in the back of a sports bar Downtown, this is the type of place that lists most of the fish at “market price,” which often translates to “whoa, that was a little more than I was expecting.” But when everything is fresh and wild-caught from the gulf, we’re OK spending a few extra dollars." - nicolai mccrary
"At some point in your weekend, there will inevitably be a game happening that someone in the group needs to watch. Lavaca Street Bar has wall-to-wall TVs showing every game anyone would ever need or want to watch. Turf’N’Surf is located inside the bar and serves po’boys, tacos, and other great bar food. If someone is getting cranky about eating indoors when it’s sunny out, just order them the blackened chicken nachos and they’ll forget they were ever unhappy. These are the kind of nachos you come all the way back to Austin for." - adele hazan, raphael brion, nicolai mccrary
