🙋🏼‍♀️ A guide for exploring Austin with kids 🛝 parks, hikes, restaurants, day trips, etc!

🍔 @oasthouseatx is a South Austin favorite! @oasthouseatx offers a locally sourced menu featuring elevated food in a casual atmosphere that’s perfect for families and friends. With a playground on site, it’s also the perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal while the kids have fun!

🆕 WEEKDAY BURGER BAR: affordable and delicious $9 burger deals for lunch! There’s a variety of burger options from classic burgers to southwest pimento burgers, smash burgers, black bean veggie burgers, and even chicken or fish burgers! Every burger we tried was incredibly delicious and huge! Such a good deal.

🍟 I also highly recommend the truffle fries 🤤

🛝 My kids love the playground here and I love how it’s fenced in and right off the patio, making it easy to keep an eye on the kids while you enjoy your food & drinks.

👀 Check them out for their weekday lunch burger bar specials or Happy Hour deals Mon-Sat 3-6pm or Sunday Funday 3-close.
