"For unfussy — but wild-caught and sustainable — Texas seafood and margaritas, the casual Lamar Union restaurant is the place to be in Zilker. Try things like the filling seafood boils (with sauces like the Flamethrower and smoked garlic); charbroiled oysters; redfish and shrimp ceviche; andouille cheddar hushpuppies; gumbo; chicken-fried steak; and its seasonal pies, which happen to be gluten-free. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
