It’s not truly summertime until I visit Ski Shores Waterfront Cafe on Lake Austin. I made it just in time for July!  Open since 1954, Ski Shores must be doing something right.  This Austin gem serves up classic American food that is exactly what the doctor ordered after a day of drinking on the lake. The food and lakeside setting attract families, old Austinites, and young folk alike.   The Border Burger is legendary, the pizza is some of the best in town, and the fries are pretty darn tasty.  Step out of the box and take a break from Hula Hut and Abel’s on the Lake to give this out of the way spot a try.  Has anyone else heard a long running rumor that Maudie’s might open on the lake?  Dream come true.  FYI: Live music on weekends and closed Mondays.

To see pictures of Ski Shores Waterfront Cafe:

Plenty of space to park the boat, about a 5 minute boat ride from the 360 bridge.  You can also drive up to Ski Shores in your car and pick up a pizza order.

This Austin favorite has been open since 1954

Order at the counter and they will call out your name on the loudspeaker when your food is ready.  If you order a pizza, they will give you a number and bring the pizza to your table.  Beer is $4!
