6 Spots Where Kids Eat for Free (or Almost Free!) in Lake Travis

Let’s face it, when you take the kiddos out for dinner it adds up quickly. And that’s just based on my experience feeding two boys. Ramp it up a notch to families of three or more children and you’re talking some serious cash for supper, even fast food. How many times have you hit the drive thru and winced at the total? Yikes!

We have so many great restaurants in the Lake Travis area, sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all of the cool specials they offer. That’s why we’re happy to provide you with a list of local spots that have Kid’s Nights where your hungry buckaroos can eat for free — or pretty close.

Tony C’s – If your kiddos like pizza, make sure you check out Tony C’s on Tuesdays where you can snag two award-winning pizzas for the price of one! Austin’s original coal-fired pizza is truly a taste of New York in the Hill Country. You can build your own pizza or try specialty pies like Mulberry Meatball, Prosciutto & Goat Cheese or Fig & Honey just to name a few. No matter how you slice it, it’s delish.
