Clarks Oyster Bar - Austin - Austin (TX)

4 /5 Kelly Michael Skelton: Had a decent time here for dinner. It’s an interesting mix between casual and fine dining with both their menu and their atmosphere. Our waitress was excellent and we really enjoyed the oysters shrimp and linguine with clams. I wasn’t a fan of the hot sauce in the clam chowder or the amount of chives in the lobster roll. Overall, this was a nice dining experience, but next time I would want to sit inside and would be more selective with the items I ordered.

5 /5 Steffani Papanikolaou: Came here with my husband for lunch and it did not disappoint. Was quite busy and sat at the high top which was fine. Mikey was our waiter and he was attentive but not over bearing. Oysters were some of the freshest weve had in Austin. We love small east coast oysters and they had plenty to choose from. Food quality is well worth the wait. Making a reservation next time to enjoy a meal at a table!

5 /5 Cassidy Garcia: 5 stars all around. Landry was an incredible server. The oysters were super fresh and delicious and the linguine was so flavorful. The basque cake was absolutely to die for. We really enjoyed our date night with Clark’s!

3 /5 Mr. No Tengo Dinero: We visited this spot on a Friday afternoon, and it was absolutely packed, which shows how popular it is. The vibe definitely leans casually fancy, with a stylish atmosphere that makes it feel like a special outing. I tried a few of their vegetable dishes, including the cabbage steak, cauliflower, baked potatoes, and kale. While everything was nicely plated and cooked well, I’d say this isn’t the best choice if you’re vegetarian or vegan. Many of the veggie dishes carried a strong meaty flavor, almost as if they were cooked in the same style as the meat options, which wasn’t quite what I was looking for. The food itself was fine, just not particularly memorable for the price point—it felt a little on the expensive side for what I ordered. Overall, I’d say it’s more of a place to accompany friends than a go-to spot for plant-based eaters.
