Here is a polished and engaging food review based on your experience. I have organized it to highlight your satisfaction with the lobster roll while providing constructive feedback on the fish and chips.
Title: Incredible Lobster Roll & Great Vibes – Just One Small Catch!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 Stars)
I stopped by specifically for the Lobster Roll, and it did not disappoint! Since I’m focusing on high-protein options lately, this was the perfect choice. Every bite was a dream—the lobster was fresh, succulent, and perfectly seasoned. It’s easily the star of the menu.
The Good:
• The Lobster Roll: Absolutely loved it. The quality of the meat and the preparation were spot on.
• The Atmosphere: The vibe here is fantastic. It’s a great spot for a date or a relaxed meal with friends.
The Not-So-Crispy:
The only downside was the Fish and Chips. While the flavor was there, the texture fell short. By the time the server brought it to our table, the batter had already lost its crunch and went pale/soggy. I suspect the food container might be trapping steam, which is a pity because a crispy crust is everything for this dish!

Wellllll Austin I found a place for Seafood that I absolutely LOVE LOVE!!! I had the Connecticut Lobster roll with fries and Shel’frozen lemonade and tried not to leave a crumb! The Lobster was cooked perfectly and very fresh tasting, not too much season so you can really enjoy the lobster!!!! The fries we so good I ate the whole bowl FIRST! (nothing special just well cooked and seasoned!) Then I had the Amuse Bouche as an taster and I can honestly take that home to go!!!! Lastly the frozen lemonade was just like I like, tart with a little sweet.. Great job Mitchell and crew!!!

Authentic New England Heaven on Mopac!
This is truly great, what I can only imagine as authentic New England-style seafood in Austin. Garbo’s on Mopac is an absolute treasure, and my recent visit was nothing short of a 10/10 experience. We tried a bit of everything, and each dish was more impressive than the last.
Here’s the breakdown of our fantastic meal:
* Smoked Fish Dip: We started with this, and it was the perfect introduction. It was creamy, perfectly smoky without being overpowering, and clearly made with high-quality fish. Served with crackers, it was a delicious and addictive appetizer that set a high bar for the rest of the meal.
* Lobster Bisque: Simply divine. This is how lobster bisque is supposed to be. It was velvety smooth, incredibly rich, and had a deep, savory lobster flavor that warmed you to the core. Most importantly, it was loaded with generous, sweet chunks of actual lobster meat. I could have had a whole meal of just this.
* Mac and Cheese Sticks: Pure, decadent genius. These were fried to a perfect golden brown, offering a satisfying crunch on the outside. The inside was a molten river of ultra-creamy, cheesy macaroni. It’s the ultimate comfort food elevated to a new level.
* Lobster Rolls: The main event, and they did not disappoint! We had to try both the Maine style (chilled, with a touch of mayo) and the Connecticut style (warm, drenched in butter) and their seasonal hatch chilli lobster roll . You honestly cannot go wrong with either. The lobster meat was unbelievably fresh, sweet, and piled high on a perfectly toasted and buttery roll. This is the real deal—it instantly transports you to a seaside shack on the East Coast.
* Fish and Chips: Even a classic dish like this was executed flawlessly. The fish was flaky, moist, and tender, encased in a light, impossibly crispy batter that wasn’t a bit greasy. The accompanying fries were seasoned perfectly and were the ideal companion.
* Oysters: my wife is an oyster fanatic, this is the 1st time she’s been offered a variety of choices. She decided to go with 2 different styles and she was really impressed. For the 1st time, she tried an oyster without including the lemon and was simply impressed by the fresh quality. We cannot wait to return.
Everything about our visit was top-notch, from the quality of the ingredients to the friendly service. Garbo’s is a gem, and they are knocking it out of the park. This is hands-down my new go-to for seafood in Austin. An enthusiastic and well-deserved 5 stars! We received the best service from Barclay. We can’t say enough about the experience she provided. We felt like we were being served by family!

First-time visitors, now forever fans! We’ve been wanting to visit Garbo’s to support our dear friend who works here, and we’re so glad we finally made it—our only regret is not coming sooner.
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. Everyone was kind and attentive. Our server, Mitchell, gave great recs, and the bartender made our drinks perfectly. We sat outside and loved it—sunny, breezy, and relaxing.
We ordered:
• Clam chowder
• Fresh salads
• Oysters
• Mini lobster rolls (a must-try)
• Fried shrimp
• Ice cream for dessert
Everything was high quality and well-prepared. We were also impressed to see the owner actively involved on the floor, supporting the team—such a great sign of a well-run restaurant.
For two people, our total (+ tip) was around $150, and it was absolutely worth it for the experience, service, and top-tier food. Shout out to Anna, Heidi, Caesar and the others who made our dinner so lovely!
Highly recommend Garbo’s—whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a gem!

We love Garbos, especially this location. Food is always amazing and there are tables outside with a great playground for our toddler. We always try the monthly special lobster roll and get the caviar and chips!

Had such a great Sunday brunch! The service was wonderful and the food was fantastic. The atmosphere is relaxed but upscale. The food quality was excellent. There is also a playground on the patio for kiddos.

You know that feeling when you get something so good you’re still thinking about it the next day. You’re at work and your mind starts wandering and realize you’ve glazed over and you’re daydreaming about the night before? Garbos is like that except, they’ll still respect you in the morning and you can tell your coworkers all about it. The lobster roll trio is to die for. This time around was the seasonal hatch chili roll. Whoa mama. They’ve got outstanding New Hampshire fresh oysters. Even the burger is top knotch.

Garbo’s is known for their New England-style lobster. We usually get the lobster rolls when we go, but this time we tried the whole lobster (1 for $40 or 2 for $65) with a side of toast (8/10). It was a cool experience and very fresh. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts (5/10) — they were a bit cold and tasted burnt; and the fried calamari (6/10). The food is overall good especially if you’re craving lobster or lobster rolls.
The vibes are laid-back and coastal and they also have a nice outdoor patio. Will definitely return to try something else on the menu.

Lobster rolls are good 50% of the time. Play area is nice. But the thing that blows my mind is the kids lemonade is $5 a pop, and literally the size of your pinky. I’m a value guy, and it blows my mind that a kids drink the size of your pinky is $5 a piece. I understand inflation but price gouging for a children’s drink is crazy.
