600 E. Riverside Dr. – Austin TX (built 1965; architect: Winfred O. Gustafson; also Steak Island, Magic Time Machine, Joe’s Crab Shack)
Lahala House, originally from Corpus Christi, was a tiki-style restaurant owned in part by Jim Hasslocher of Jim’s and Magic Time Machine restaurants. He converted this location to a Magic Time Machine, then sold it to Landry’s – it eventually became a Joe’s Crab Shack, and as of 2019, was closed over unpaid rent and taxes.
