Quality has been Austin's signature fishmonger since 1938, and in 2012, it underwent a major expansion. Go for oysters , Gulf shrimp , and Cajun- and Creole-influenced seafood dishes . Read more
Absolutely loved this hole in the wall , hidden from all with the lights barely on. But inside...., waits the tastiest seafood you’ll ever have.
Great place to purchase excellent seafood to cook at home! Also their menu has freshest seafood in Austin while keeping the recipes simple focusing on fish . They will fly in fish per request!
Freshest Gulf oysters with horseradish , salt and lemon juice . Their deep-fried cod is excellent. Okra and fries sides are awesome.
Sit at the bar to avoid ordering at the window. Slim wine selection but plenty of local beers . Oysters are tasty and fresh. Fried foods aren't as good though. Still a neat spot overall.
Quality Seafood has been providing Austinites with fresh Gulf seafood for over seventy years. The shrimp tacos are some of the best in town . [Eater 38 Member] Read more
Seafood lovers dream come true! Ordered way more than four people should be eating but we devoured it all..
Raw gulf oysters , fried scallops , fried oysters , fried catfish & the Mac & cheese was delicious.
My first visit since QS renovated and expanded. Great improvement. Was often too crowded in the past. Hooray!
WiFi password is gofish Bummed they don’t do steamed clams or whole belly fried clams anymore but Blackened Drum was delicious.
Mahi tacos are great! Taco Tuesday is the the best of their weekly specials with $3.00 tacos and $2.00 all domestic drafts .
Po boys are great. Also John, the fishmonger knows what he’s doing, trust him.
Lobster and steamed clams like mom used to make. And devour.
The food truck breakfast tacos are amazing! Crawfish migas tacos !
Maine Lobster on Saturday only. Good food the rest of the week too!
Try the blueberry bread pudding . It is awesome!
Saturday boiled lobster special and taco Tuesdays are the best!
Yummy oysters ! Try and get a table by the bar so you don't have to wait in line .
Two dollar Tuesdays, can't beat it with $2 beer and $2 tacos . I like the blackened mahi and a corona.
James Holmes, chef of Lucy's Fried Chicken , eats here on his nights off. He loves the Gulf oysters on the half shell. Read more
Best seafood in town . Tuesdays are $2 seafood tacos and $2 pints of beer ! Great deal!
Cold boiled shrimp and crab cakes are amazing.
Fried shrimp basket - quite good. Turned off big time - some of the cooks behind the Oysters Bar kept eating when we sat down & still eating after we paid our bill. Unprofessional & very nasty!
If you go with friends, get someone else to stake out a table for you-- seating is first-come, first-served.
Get the Mac n chease for a side
Walk in put in order. Fresh & hot delicious food
Great fish very reasonable prices
The mac n cheese is... weird. But the seafood is great! Oysters are the jam !
It's pappadeaux at half the price - it's all great food
There's an awesome "Life Aquatic"-esque mural on the wall furthest from the dining area in a corner. Go check out this place for the art alone- I want that painting !!
Good oysters , great fried catfish and ice cold beer !!!
Pretty good seafood for a place not close to the ocean
Get the fried oysters and skip the crab cakes
Tuesday night tacos .... Two tacos ... Two beers ...two dollar tip... One ten dollar bill.
The wifi code is "gofish".
VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL - Two 6 oz. bacon-wrapped filet mignons , plus two 5-6 oz. Canadian lobster tails for only $29.95!
I go for either the raw oysters or the crawfish , when they're in season.
Everything is good here!
So good! The mac n' cheese should be renamed cheese n' cheese .
Catfish and shrimp are good, steer clear of the clam strips .
Live music on Monday, really nice!

A change to $ 2.00 Tues. tacos : now $ 3.00 "with more seafood ".
Trying the blackened swordfish .
Sit at the bar or high tables if you'd like table service.
Grilled trout and mac n cheese .
Alaskan King crab legs on Mondays!
Keep in mind it's a fish market so smells very fishy.
Crawfish boil on Thursday nights.
Ask for the Texas bouillabaisse . AWESOME FRESH.
Everything at the deli is good. Especially the Kale & Israeli Couscous! *^,^* - Lady Gunter
Many many beers on tap (and a few wines on tap too). Great oysters. A nice respite from grocery shopping. - Jason Dent
Great prices. Neat atmosphere. This is a winner on the dive bar list. - Kara Snyder
Their selection of energy drinks is great, lots of all-natural variety. Try their scones, too. Yum. - Carina Leggett
Great Sunday brunch menu. Get the twisted sister-French toast wrapped in bacon. - Richard Vu
