Before we had children, we loved trying out new eateries and enjoying live music wherever it could be found. After a long, busy week, we would just sit, savor our food and lose track of time. This all changed dramatically when our children entered the picture, and going to dinner became an entirely new adventure. After children, we decided that the most important factor was finding a place where we could enjoy good food but also provide entertainment for our energetic children who had no interest in sitting at a table.
We heard about Freddie’s Place from some friends of ours, and from their description, we knew it was just the place that we were looking for. We packed up the children and decided to give it a try. When we walked up, the giant oak trees and live music playing in the back invited us in, while the children saw the playground and took off running. We grabbed a seat close by to watch the children play as we enjoyed some local music and waited for our food. For the first time in a while, we were not worrying about entertaining our children at the table. We were actually out in public and enjoying ourselves even before we got our food, we were already in love.

Austin is such a great city to live and raise a family. We are so thankful for Freddie’s Place where a family can go and still enjoy all of the things that make Austin great.
