Truluck’s Seafood & Steaks

Houston-based award-winning Truluck’s has been a staple of the surf-and-turf set in Austin since the ’90s. With locations in the arboretum and downtown, you’re never too far from their glorious Dynamite Filet, a 7-ounce all-natural filet topped with blue crab, rock shrimp and Maine lobster in a sriracha cream sauce. They’ve got stand-alone steaks as well, of course. Prime bone-in filets, rib eyes and a 16-ounce New York Strip. Break up your steak by adding a fresh crab claw platter or a South African lobster tail—the “Rolls-Royce of lobster.” A gluten-free menu is available and is equally decadent. Their happy hour is a darn good way to ease into all that eating.
