Best spot to have a drink and grab a bite with a playground.

Waterloo Icehouse on 360 and then a stop at Sharkey’s nextdoor 😜😀

Kerby Lane at the Round Rock location
Oasthouse on 620

And I just went to the cute little Italian brunch place in Bee Cave, The Garden at Ellera, this past weekend. Twinkle lights, outdoor tables, great atmosphere and they have live music on some evenings. I saw that had a pretty big play area. The food was fresh and delish and would be with the trek.

Hat Creek

Huge fan of The Hive, they're very family friendly and the play area is very contained. Another place that's becoming popular is the Armadillo Den but I've not been there yet.

Thanks @liz_stellav I have not been to the Armadillo Den. I didn't know they have play ground. I have heard that parking is challenging but now I am interested in checking it out. I always forget that Hat Creek has drinks Michael Lafears definitely adding that one more. Anshu Panicker Yes, Waterloo does have that awesome sand box. @Sara_qualls I am definitely checking to Garden of Ellera we are south but may be worth the drive thanks. Also that's so cool the Kerbey Lane in RR has a playground ours down south doesn't but we love Kerbey!!

El Mercado on S 1st has an outdoor play area. The Waterloo on 360 has a play area and there is a large communal play scape with several restaurants opening up to the common area at South Park Meadows.
