Spicy South

Spicy South

Oak Hill • $$

Spicy South channels the energy of an Indian street-side stall with fresh Punugulu, Junglee Paneer sandwiches, and Manchurian Chatkaru fries that taste like they came straight off a Hyderabad corner. Grab a seat outside while the kids play, and wash it all down with a proper Madras filter coffee.

La Santa Barbacha

La Santa Barbacha

Cherrywood • $

Slow-cooked barbacoa is the star at this family-run trailer, tucked into a sycamore-shaded garden on Manor Road. Watch tortillas pressed by hand, then load up on breakfast tacos and chilaquiles.

St. Elmo Brewing Company - Springdale

St. Elmo Brewing Company - Springdale

LBJ

St. Elmo is the rare brewery where you can actually spread out. Sunlight pours over enormous tables inside, while food trucks and a sprawling patio keep everyone fed, including the kids and dogs you brought along.

Rosewood Social Club

Rosewood Social Club

Blackshear-Prospect Hill • $$

Rosewood Social Club pours strong margaritas in a space where toddlers play safely nearby and the miso lattes come crowned with dried rose petals. It's the rare east Austin spot that genuinely works for date night, coffee runs, or letting your two-year-old burn energy while you finally relax.

Good BBQ Company

Good BBQ Company

Mountain View • $$

Texas smoke meets Alabama soul at this veteran-run joint, where the brisket's worth an early arrival and the patio comes with pickleball courts, a big screen, and room for the kids to run wild.

Frequently asked questions

How are these kid friendly in Austin chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
