If you plan on going to Hula Hut on the weekend, especially for dinner, be prepared to wait a while. It's worth the wait though! The fishbowl (drink) is a great value and it should last you all night long. The...

When I was leaving Austin after 7 years, I hit Hula Hut on my way out of town because it sums up Austin for me and the things I dearly miss. The decor is bright and tacky, but you cannot help but be…

Hula Hut is like the Oasis but with a less "calming" atmosphere to it. You'll generally find it a place with lots of people who're out for the night and ready to drink and hangout. The food is pretty average,...

The place is definitely always busy, and it's not because the food is fantastic (although it's fair). Mostly it's just nice to hang out on the large patio and enjoy several cervesas or margaritas…

HH is my Thursday night spot. Parking is terrible, so come by water if you can. Great ritas and tubular tacos. Most of the time there is a wait, usually 20 min on avg, but well worth it!

Hula Hut is not your typical restaurant. While they have great food, (Try the Tubular Tacos) the real draw is the huge waterfront patio and dining room. I can't think of a better way to spend a hot summer...
