What's on

The Menu

Since our founding more than three decades ago, Truluck’s has remained committed to delivering unparalleled seafood and steak experiences rooted in environmental responsibility. Our partnership with conscientious fishermen and dedication to marine preservation ensures every dish honors both the ocean’s resources and the communities that depend on them.

Each fall marks the highly anticipated arrival of Florida Stone Crab season, spanning October 15th to May 1st. These coveted delicacies exemplify sustainable indulgence—carefully harvested through proven techniques that allow regeneration, protecting this cherished tradition for years ahead. We present them chilled and expertly cracked, accompanied by our signature mustard sauce that’s been perfected over countless seasons.

Our menu showcases an exceptional selection of seafood treasures: tender scallops complemented by plump shrimp, ahi tuna with a delicate sesame crust, premium oysters from pristine waters, and rotating seasonal preparations that highlight the ocean’s remarkable variety.

We bring equal mastery to our land-based offerings, featuring hand-selected USDA Prime beef prepared with meticulous attention. Select from our remarkably tender filet mignon, richly marbled New York strip, or our Sunday feature—slow-roasted Prime Rib finished with fragrant shallot-rosemary au jus.

Complete your experience with our distinguished wine collection and artisan cocktails. Don’t miss the TRU Ninety-Two prix fixe—three beautifully crafted courses for $59, offered until 6pm Monday-Saturday and throughout Sunday evening. Join us for Happy Hour at the bar, where you’ll enjoy half-price signature cocktails, featured wines, and fresh-shucked oysters.
