Rainbow Seafood Restaurant

This seafood restaurant and sports bar in Northwest Austin boasts a sprawling, pet-friendly outdoor deck, more than 20 televisions, a kiddie playscape, and live music every week. Come crawfish season, this is the place to be.

You'll find a full range of both fried and broiled seafood in the boat formerly occupied by the Captain's Seafood & Oyster Bar.

They say the breading on the fried shrimp is perfect and crunchy, and the boudin sausage balls keep the line of regulars stretching to the parking lot.
