Deals on Meals

MONDAYS- Kids Eat Free at Texadelphia locations and Tres Amigos.


Tuesdays-- Chick-Fil-A on 620 near Bee Caves has buy an adult meal, get a 4pc nugget kids meal for free--- EVERY Tuesday night!!! How am I just now finding out about this??! Also I've met the owners and they are wonderful people, so I like supporting their location:)

Also, Kirby Lane has kids eat free on Tuesday nights as well as Texadelphia again.

AND after 5pm- Central Market Cafe has free kids meals and outdoor seating and a playground! Score!

Wednesdays-- at HEB you can get an extra large pepperoni pizza made in house--(take and bake) for only 6 dollars!! What a deal. We much on the leftovers for lunch the following days, or cook it when there are a bunch of people coming over. They also sell smaller gourmet pizzas for only about 7-8 dollars. They are great to stick in the freezer for one of those nights that you really don't feel like cooking, or a babysitter is coming over that night!

Also, EZs has free kids meals in Central Austin. MMMMmm... Love me some EZs!

Sundays after 4pm Kids eat free at ZTejas!! One of my all-time faves.

and ALL WEEK Kids under four yrs old eat free at The Salt Lick!! Mmmmmm... It is so worth the trip!

Hope these give some helpful ideas! If you are on a budget like me, it will help you when you are eating out. Especially if you grab some friends and their kids to go with you! Think of all the money you'll save!

Authentically Austin Restaurants for Kids

Here are just a few of my favorite Austin restaurants that are conducive to kiddos!

Waterloo Ice House www.waterlooicehouse.com

My favorite location with a playground is the one off of 360 and 2222.
It has a huge backyard with a playground and huge sandbox full of toys. It is fenced in so little ones can't run off and you and the other adults with you can sit outside and enjoy a beer and some good food while the kiddos play nearby.

Phil's Ice House www.philsicehouse.com

This location is on Lamar. It is a combination Amy's Ice Cream - Burger Joint. The burgers and sandwiches, which are named for Austin zip codes, are gourmet and are truly delicious. I have had the fish sandwich as well and was not disappointed. It has that great funky Austin feel. You can sit inside, in a diner style decor, or outside on the many tables surrounding the playscape and play area complete with painted cows and a spinning teacup.


The County Line www.countyline.com

Although they do not have play areas, these are great restaurants to take kids. The food is amazing and there is a lot to see. County Line on the Hill, is located off Bee Caves Road, west of 360. It has a great view and a large back patio that is fun for the kids to explore.

The County Line on the Lake has a big backyard to explore where you can feed the turtles that swim up to the bank and there is sometimes live music.


These are just a few of my favorites that both parents and kids can enjoy and get a truly Austin experience! Please comment with any other suggestions of places you love that are authentically Austin and great for kids.

My new blog

I am a mom that lives in Austin, TX. A native to Austin, I have spent many years in the Hill Country and truly feel that it is a part of my soul. I love it's rich history and landscape and love to explore.

I decided to start my own blog filled with fun events that are kid and family friendly around Austin and the surrounding Hill Country area! I was tired of constantly searching different websites and finding nothing of interest, so I decided to start my own blog.

I welcome any ideas from readers and hope that this is a fun helpful resource for people.

Thanks and Enjoy!
