Terry's Seafood and Chicken: Delight in Fresh Seafood and Flavorful Chicken Wings

My Dad owned this building and managed it when it was a Weiner King fast food restaurant back in the 70s. I grew up there as a kid after school until close and all throughout the summers long. I think the owner has had it and started Terry’s Seafood and Chicken ever since my Dad closed his own place down here. I went back at age 46. But I went back at age 46 and was standing there in the order area in the front lobby just peering around trying to see in the back as much as I could, and the owner behind the counter off to the side asked if I needed help, as if I was pondering and still deciding on an order. I was just looking around and through the back trying to see what all I remembered from where I was standing. I was just going to leave after a few seconds of gazing. But when he asked me if I needed any help, I told him from behind the customers in the back, “I just came in for a second. I’m just looking around. My Dad had this place years ago. I used to hang out back there in the back.” All of the customers turned around. He said, “Do you want to take a look? Come on back here!” He waved me back and came around and met me and walked me back and gave me a tour, walking me through the kitchen and the back and all through it. Showed me around. He introduced me to all of his workers, still cooking and frying and prepping, and he gave them a quick introduction of me growing up in there as a kid. He let me stay there as long as I wanted. Everyone was smiling and grinning, just very happy and welcoming, nodding, saying hello, smiling away, and everyone was having a good time, allowing me to walk by and through and around, and look around. It was nostalgic and one of the best moments ever. And I will always remember it. Always. Very cool moment. What a great guy. What some great people.

Friendly service. Very clean inside. Music when on isn't loud. Pricing is great. Most important is the food. I ordered chicken strip and it was packed with flavor. Coleslaw was the side. Next time I'll get the Mac and cheese.

Damn!!!!! Hands down best gumbo I’ve ever had!! Hold up I’m sitting in the parking lot in my truck, trying this shit…… omg!!! The fried shrimp and tartar sauce, and these fries off the chain!!! Damn!! I wish I would’ve known this place was here sooner guarantee I’ll be back at least three times next week. Y’all gotta try this place! The dude at the counter helped me pick everything out. He was dead on too so so delicious. Thanks to the peeps at Terrys!!!

One man holding down the the lunch! Kind, courteous and food is so awesome! The catfish came up from the bottom and meet up the corn nuggets to complete the delicious!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terry’s Seafood and Chicken is my must-stop whenever I’m in Austin! I’ve been coming here since my college days, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. I especially love coming on Fridays—there’s just something about their fish that makes it the perfect end-of-the-week meal. The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the quality is top-notch. If you’re in Austin, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t regret it!

I’m from south Louisiana, and this transported me home! We had fried catfish with fries and corn nuggets and fried cod with fried okra and hush puppies. It’s a no frills, down to earth place, which in my opinion is the best sort of place. The food was so so good!

Crispy shrimp. Delicious corn nuggets. Everything was hot and fresh and big portions. So glad we came. The dining room is closed, but they have picnic tables outside. Can’t wait to come back and try something else.

This might be the best southern food I had in Austin, Had to wait a little but it was so worth the wait. If you like chicken with fish, this is the spot
