Still Time for Kids to Eat Free at the New Doc's

I'll admit I was sad when I saw the "closed" sign on the doors of the Water Tank restaurant, and added a flinch at seeing the new Freddy's being built just around the corner at the same time. Nothing against Freddy's, but hometowns feel more so when there is a good selection of local restaurants along with a few chains. (Freddy's is now open).

The Water Tank has now reopened as Doc's Drafthouse Bar & Grill. It's true that both restaurants were/are add-ons for other locations, but they are Austin-based and still carry that local feel.

Little has changed inside, and what is new is for the better. See their website for more details on the menu, but there is a lot to choose from and the burgers (including a veggie burger thank goodness!) are good and served on quality buns.

To celebrate their opening, kids eat free with purchase of an adult entree through the end of April. Check here for other specials.

Stylin'

Is Pflugerville catching up to the Rock and the Weird Place? New to the Pecan Street strip of auto parts stores and fast food is a true salon with spa services. Located in the new strip mall that also houses Starbucks and Freddy's, don't mistake it for another Supercuts.

Pflugerville is Stylin' Salon and Spa's second location. In addition to hair, Stylin' brings massage, facial, nail, tanning, makeup, and body wrap services to town so locals no longer have to get on I-35 for a little more style.
