One of the joys of a Lake Travis getaway is how good the food is. Here are a few of our favourite places to eat during your stay at Lakeland Villa, from laid-back lakeside spots in Point Venture to iconic Hill Country barbecue.
Captain Pete’s
Just a short walk or drive from the villa, Captain Pete’s is a local favourite for lakefront dining and sunset cocktails. It’s the perfect spot for your first evening, once you’ve unpacked and want to settle into lake life without going far. Grab a table with a view and watch the sky change colour over the water.
4th Quarter Sports Bar and Caddyshack Sports Bar
For a relaxed night out, Point Venture has two easy-going options close to home. 4th Quarter Sports Bar is a much-loved locals’ hangout, great for catching the game over a casual bite. Caddyshack Sports Bar hosts live music at weekends, so it’s a fun choice if your group fancies an evening with a bit more buzz.
The Oasis on Lake Travis
Known as the “Sunset Capital of Texas”, The Oasis sits high above the lake with sprawling multi-level decks and spectacular views. The menu is full of crowd-pleasers, from Tex-Mex and seafood to burgers and margaritas. Arrive about an hour before sunset to get a good table. It’s a Lake Travis tradition for good reason.
The Salt Lick BBQ
No trip to the Hill Country is complete without proper Texas barbecue. The Salt Lick in Driftwood has served open-pit barbecue since 1967, and its family-style feast is made for sharing with a big group. It’s around an hour’s drive through beautiful countryside, so pair it with a day exploring the area.
Dining in at the villa
Some evenings, the best table is the one at home. Lakeland Villa has a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. There’s also an outdoor kitchen with a pellet smoker, gas grill and outdoor bar fridge, perfect for a poolside barbecue as the sun goes down. For a special occasion, you can arrange a private chef to cook for your group, so everyone can relax and enjoy the evening together.
