Customer Review Summary

Truluck's is praised for its delicious seafood, especially the stone crab, which is noted for its fresh and sweet meat. The lobster roll and crab cake received positive mentions, but some dishes, like the lobster bisque, were served cold and the sea bass was average. Ambiance and service are generally pleasant, although some found it rushed or felt the restaurant was too dark and loud. Special occasions are well-recognized with complimentary items and attentive service from staff. Some enjoyed the unique flavors of the calamari and appreciated the fresh crab meat in the dishes.

Overall, many express a desire to return, indicating a solid reputation for quality and service.

This is an incredibly delicious seafood restaurant, and you must try their stone crab; the portions are very good and the meat is fresh and sweet. It’s quite surprising to find such quality in Texas. Their lobster roll is also fantastic, with perfectly toasted, crispy bread. We also ordered the crab cake and the fried calamari salad, and their sauce has a slight sweetness that complements the overall flavors of the salad and calamari. I will definitely come back if I have the chance.

The ambiance of the restaurant was very nice and the service was pleasant although a bit rushed in my opinion. The lobster bisque was unfortunately cold and the sea-bass dish was just "okay" We came to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We did enjoy the lemon drops and selection of wine. Would I come back? Not entirely sure. Wasn't all bad but wasn't amazing either.

Went here for me and my daughter's bday with family. They gave us a card and free deserts. The food was great! The drinks were strong. Service was fantastic! Would definitely recommend!

Food and service were outstanding. I must say the waiter got me to try cold seafood which would typically be a juxtaposition to my temperature preference. However the stone crab claws served chilled were incredible. I will definitely return to this establishment. Also once the waiter learned it was our anniversary he went well out of his way to ensure our night was memorable.

We had an amazing dining experience here celebrating birthday: Our server was welcoming, warm, attentive and patiently explained everything needed. Calamari was surprisingly lightly breaded compared to other places. It had a sweet kick to it and very very light sour flavor in the sauce. I’m guessing they are going for a thai flavor based on the sauce and basil leaves, green onions, peppers. Crab cake tasted like all other places except you get that naturally sweet freshness in every flake of crab meats. Stone crab claws are a must order here! Soooooo fresh and sweet we didn’t need any of the mayo sauce on the side, just a squeeze of lemon is enough. Blue crab stuffed lobster tail tasted as expected, great that they had spinach inside so everything doesn’t taste too heavy. Truffle fries could probably use more truffle seasoning as we couldn’t really taste much of it, and they became soggy after just a few minutes but I wouldn’t care about this too much. Lastly the flaming ice cream cake was a true blast!!!! It tasted way too good! I would recommend anyone here especially for a special occasion.

This has always been my wife's favorite place and we haven't been here quite sometime. Literally nothing has changed the food and service are still top notch!! Art our server took great care of us and we'll ask for him from now on.

I'll keep this simple and short. This was our first time dining here and I have to say, it was by far one of the best experiences we've had dining out. Everything we ordered was prepared perfectly. Our server went above and beyond what any server would do at an upscale establishment. Hats off to everyone from the valet to the chefs. Trulucks gets two thumbs up for everything! We'll be back and you'll return too once you've shared this experience.

HONESTLY. Disappointed with our trip here. Overpriced food. The service was GREAT. But the space was not for me. The room was too dark. They had a live pianist, and that was too loud. The food was underwelming. I would never go back here. I'm pretty sure only had a crab arm and left and got pizza or something after. Was a sad valentine's day experience.
