This is a great way to enjoy a cocktail and good eats while soaking in beautiful Lake Austin!
There is usually a wait during the lunch and dinner rush, but several bars on location where you can grab a drink and wait in the shade. Well worth the trip!

It's a grocery store, but also has a FANTASTIC patio, and playground! Inside there is a restaurant with some good food options and several beers on tap, as well as wine options. The store has a great meat and seafood selection, and is fun for the kids to walk around and see everything. Very affordable, and a great way to let the kids play while the adults sit back and watch with a drink!
