Lake Travis Fast Food Gets High Health Inspection Scores: Whew and Yay

Written by Cathy Hale | March 22, 2017

Warm weather has arrived in the Lake Travis area and that means lots of chatter about “bathing suit season” and “summer bodies.”

Well, we’re taking a break from the norm to talk about something far more tantalizing. Fast food.

Irresistible fat-infused, deep-fried treats. Fried chicken shell taco? Bacon-wrapped pizza crust? Sausage McGriddle? Maybe you’re into healthier “fast food” options like sandwiches and subs on hot, freshly-baked bread. Or, are you a grab-a-pack-of-Twinkies-and-a-Cherry-Coke at the gas station kinda person?

No matter what kind of convenience bites you’re into, you can feel better about them. Why? According to Austin Public Health Department, the restaurant inspection scores for restaurants in the Lake Travis area — including crave-worthy fast food joints — are consistently getting top marks. Are you pleasantly surprised?

You’ve probably heard rumors about restaurants failing health inspections. For some reason, people often assume fast food joints are the worst offenders. Well, that assumption is wrong. What we’ve discovered is rather impressive when it comes to Lake Travis fast food-y spots.

Written by Cathy Hale | March 9, 2017

McArthur’s is one of the snazzy new restaurants at Oaks at Lakeway with big televisions, a roomy all-season patio and an enormous bar. Think gastropub with a sports bar twist and sprinkle of modern industrial flair. The atmosphere is sophisticated, yet easy-going and friendly — conducive to watching any and all sporting events with ease.

And now the food matches the sophisticated vibe.

McArthur’s has been consulting with an executive chef out of California to elevate their menu and the overall experience. New dishes like the Louisiana Hot Fried Chicken Sandwich, the Wine Country Burger (pictured above) and Cumin Roasted Salmon are delighting local palates.

Wait … we haven’t even talked about weekday happy hour specials, breakfast served daily and Kids Eat Free night yet!
