Austin ChronicleFebruary 14, 2013
A luxurious menu is matched by an adventurous wine list and an intimate, bistro feel. Don’t skip the house-baked bread: It’s stunningly good, especially when dipped in the Mussels & Clams wine broth. Read more

The Honeycrisp Apple & Rye is smooth, balanced, and too easy to throw back. Devour a plate of the brussels sprouts and leave room for the s'mores bread pudding with toasted marshmallow ice cream.

This is Larry McGuire at his best: high-quality ingredients, buzzy atmosphere, and great execution every time. Oysters are their specialty, but the burger is worth checking out, too. [Eater 38 Member]

Brilliant experience! Caviar was to die for, crab cakes were meaty & not much filler, the ceviche is one of the best, anywhere, & I could eat the sprouts all day long. Great wine, great restaurant!

Clark's Cioppino is one of best seafood soups i've had in a while. The portion size, flavors, and bread with the soup are all amazing

First time here and I came for the oysters, but ended up getting the Red Snapper Ceviche. It's pretty tasty! Will definitely make a return trip for some oysters.

Amazing food. Go for the shiny sea oysters, mussels, or red snapper ceviche. Go early or call ahead it's always busy. Or if you want a very late lunch it's great for that.

I lied. I didn't have the burger. It looked good though. I ate steak tar tar, crab cakes, east coast oysters, macaroni, key lime yumminess and some cake. That was all dank. I'm a phony.

Martinis, oysters, and sourdough bread.

If you love raw fish I highly recommend the ceviche (left) and the sashimi plate (right). The fish is very high-quality.
Samantha SmithJuly 16, 2018
Everything is great. Scallops are delicious. Mussels are great too. Recommend the cauliflower and kale sides.

This spot is an Austin favorite. Food is good, but not great. Fries are like potato hay. Addictive. Dope vibe.
Monica DesaiJanuary 6, 2022
Incredible lobster roll, shells and crab, baked oyster and more ++ amazing vibes. Tough res, though!
Christina HirschJuly 28, 2015
Great happy hour. Get oysters, a martini, and a burger. One my favorite burgers in the city.
Kyle ContinoDecember 11, 2014
Had a good experience, except for the close seating. I could have done without the pretentious group of 20something girls eating off of daddies money, talking about how they're so well traveled
Sujei SierraOctober 13, 2012
Got 3 different oysters both west and east coast and everything was delicious. You can't go wrong!
Jenny SorensenMarch 16, 2015
Some of the absolute best seafood in Austin! Great cocktails too! Found it on this sweet new app: http://supper.mx/places/clarks-oyster-bar-austin/

The shoestring fries are monstrously addictive, but for my money, the brussels sprouts are the secret sauce here...
Jmie CeeAugust 7, 2014
Make sure to start every meal here with a cocktail and a dozen oysters. Prince Edward Island oysters are my favorite.
Sujei SierraOctober 13, 2012
The smoked salmon plate is delicious. The combination hard-boiled egg, red onions and capers on the salmon is amazing.
Patrick MoorheadJuly 5, 2015
All the food is good here. Get there early as very few seats.
Raina K.March 13, 2023
Happy Hour - Mon-Fri from 3-5pmHalf-off Burgers & Martinis. 50¢ offOysters; $5 Oyster Shooters.
Dan ProvostMay 27, 2016
One of the best burgers in Austin. Get it for half price during happy hour.
Kyle BunchFebruary 24, 2013
One of two new oyster spots (the other being Winflo) that merit a visit if you're in the mood for bivalve mollusk.
Les SimpsonJuly 26, 2013
A Vesper martini with ceviche and gazpacho on a hot summer day can set the world back on the right track.
Joie RobertsNovember 14, 2012
Loved all the oysters- the kale side was good-- the bathroom is behind the bar backs area right of the fish tank- a little strange
Maarten PeschierAugust 11, 2014
Little bit out of the way, but amazing seafood and friendly service!
Matt LanningJuly 27, 2013
Super-fresh oysters and the best service I've found in ATX. Highly recommended.
SaraJuly 7, 2014
Try a variety of oysters but show up early in the day or weekend to make sure they aren't sold out of most of them.
Catherine SchneiderFebruary 18, 2013
You can make a reservation, but there's a fair number of walk-in seats available too. Especially outside.

Amazing burger, caviar, king crab and oysters.
Ari PaparoSeptember 26, 2013
The hand ground wasabi makes all the sushi and sashimi options awesome.
VoniaDecember 9, 2014
Variety of oysters, Lobster Roll overpriced, but definitely delicious!

Best seafood place in Austin, I suggest the Swordfish if they have it!
G ShiauAugust 8, 2014
Possibly the best burger in town. Made with Kobe beef.
Giselle ParisNovember 17, 2013
Get the shells and cheese with crab. You'll die happy.

Nice Oyster selection!!

People who think the bar seats are "too small" might consider checking out their asses in a mirror. Just sayin'...
