    This Truluck's location, like most, always delivers a wonderful experience. We try to go often during stone crab season, since they have the best Florida crab claws. The wine list at the downtown Austin location is also stellar. For the first time, I tried the carrot cake, and was very happy I did. That was delicious. I just wish the location in The Woodlands was this good.

    Katelyn was a fantastic waitress and provided top notch service. The overall service is outstanding and we enjoy the special experience. Katelyn made our anniversary special with the card and the baked Alaska. The food is fantastic we do enjoy the Tru Ninety-Two Menu. We had a great filet mignon and shrimp and scallops.

    I ordered my steak Pittsburgh Medium and it came out blue. The chef put it back on the grill and it was better. By the time I got my steak, my husband was done with his meal. 😞

    Fantastic restaurant… I’ve been visiting Trulucks Downtown Austin for 25+ years… It’s as good as it ever was. I hadn't been since 2019 as Covid broke a few visits however, imagine my heartache to find Wasabi Mashes potatoe had been replaced by Parmesan Mash! Unbelievably the chef had the knowledge and was willing to make some wasabi mash, which was great as I had bigged it up to the four guests I took with me. ✌️ Love this place.
