I don't know about "family" as it's a little expensive but Bess Bistro on the west end of 6th street is FANTASTIC

I would also highly recommend Salt Lick BBQ (Round Rock or Dripping Springs)

go south a few miles and go float the river or go to schlitterbahn

T-Top

Hoboken pizza if ya want an easy lunch. It's my favorite pizza. its at 718 red river.

Floating the river isn't a bad idea either. Just stay away from the Guadalupe right now. Wayy to slow, if it's not all dried up.

Go to Hula Hut on the lake and eat. Get a pipeline enchilada. Good stuff. Magnolias cafe is pretty good also.

I think I recall seeing a pretty cool go-kart/putt-putt/arcade place just north of Austin on 35 up near Cedar Park - can't recall the name of it though. Probably a cool place for the kiddo's (hopefully they serve beer/wine for you and the wife)

Go to Round Rock Donuts and get that huge *** Donut to share with your family. Also go to schlitterbahn as someone up there mentioned.. I have to say its by far one of my favorite water parks. There is also that bridge that the thousands of bats come out of everyday in the evenning.

I love me some BBQ lol I will have to try this.

Floating down the river sounds like a good idea.

I will have to find out where this is.. As for the beer and wine my wifes the only one that drinks. I can't stand the smell of that ****.

The Hotel I'm staying out is in Round Rock so thats a MOST with the big *** donuts lol

We went to the Capital and Texas History Museum so far today.

6TH STREET!!! FTMFW!!!

The Dripping Springs salt lick definitely has a more authentic feel, but in terms of dining experience, I prefer the RR location. More AC areas, less crowd, food taste the same.

Hut's Hamburgers is pretty good. On 6th street, just before Lamar... right after West Ave I think?

LBJ Library on the UT campus is also pretty neat to see, if you're into history. Shows some stuff from LBJ's career. There's a replica of his oval office on the top floor. Free parking and admissions, probably can go through it in like an hour or so.

You have to try the hobenero bbq sauce we have at the lick, its the absolute **** when it comes to bbq sauce. Best things on the menu are ribs (pork and beef), brisket, turkey, cobbler and any of our sunday specials but you really cant go wrong with anything.

We also just opened up a winery for the wife to check out. We sell all the local wines and Texas beers.

Beef Ribs are fantastic, add atleast 1 or 2 to your order - the Turkey is fantastic as well

+1 for Salt Lick BBQ! they've kinda upped their prices recently ($7 for a beef rib), but its worth it!!

i also like Hoek's Death Metal Pizza on 6th street for when you're getting out of the bars

Cam72aro

Death metal pizza is freaking awesome. We always get a couple of slices after the bars. In reality its probably the worst pizza in the world, but we are usually so drunk it tastes really good.
