Shore Raw Grill - Round Rock

It's great to see Shore come roaring back from the 2yr blight of C19. The few times we dropped in, the place was always sparsely attended and felt a tad sad. It was during these two years, we often chatted with the very affable owner with crystal blue eyes from Louisiana. At the time, there were limited options for my shell fish allergy honey to nosh on, so we weren't as frequent as we wanted to be. Good news, things have changed dramatically. Putting the restaurant back on our routine, we have noticed a sizable surge in popularity and new dishes in the offing as well. On a recent trip, we noshed on Crudo, the every popular Fried Green Tomato's which we get without the crab. Fried Red Snapper Collars and Sauteed Alaskan Halibut. Their Cajun Boudin is superb, especially with their pink pickled onions. We like sitting at the bar, chilling out with fav bartender Royce. All the tenders here are personal and talented, we just happened to know Royce from a previous gig and have history.. if you would. The oyster bar/fish bar is also a great people watching place as well as checking out their talented chef's in the kitchen, whipping up the plates for their diners. They have a large outdoor area as well, with live music on the weekends I believe. The smile on the face of the owner is larger and chairs are being filled. It's a welcome site and a nod to all of our C19 Hangovers slowly getting better.

This is my husband and my go to for seafood but, recently I ordered the redfish, sautéed with crawfish etoufee and was served cod instead of red fish; very disappointing. The other items served were very good, sautéed crab claws, Caesar salad, fried cod and fries, and dessert. Someone needs to do some quality control; not okay :

Really great food and service. Only complaint is the super pricey drinks. I expect $15 cocktails downtown but not in this location outside Austin. The drinks were also quite small.

Ehhh it was okay.... I mean I loved my meal I got fish tacos they were yummy..!!! But way too overpriced. It was super packed. But if you have money to spend why not, I rather go to a Mexican restaurant where they serve a whole juicy fish for $25 or less.

Well this is a sad one for me. I have been reluctant to update my review but my wife and I have been trying to get in 3 times in the past 6 months and we haven't been able to be seated. It seems that you had to have reservations or it was a long wait until you could be seated. I know the food must still be good or their wouldn't be a long wait. When we were there it appeared to have many open tables and maybe it was Covid and spacing issues. We live out of town now and don't know exactly when we would be able to make reservations so I won't wast my time trying to get in anymore. We go to Salt Traders now and have never been turned away any any time of the day. Their food was as good as Shore. Sorry Shore.
