Tarzan, Tippy, and Ah serve up some of the best seafood in Austin in this no-frills family restaurant. The menu betrays a variety of cultural influences, serving lemongrass fragrant tom yum and pleasingly funky green papaya salad alongside stuffed catfish and crawfish étouffée, all of it made with Gulf seafood so fresh that you almost expect something to splash you.
