"Fill up on rotisserie or fried chicken, burgers, and frozen custard at the Zilker outpost of the causal all-day cafe, conveniently located near Barton Springs Pool. Takeout and DoorDash delivery orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler
"A slow-roasted rotisserie chicken might not be the first food that pops into your head after emerging from a 68-degree cold plunge, but don’t knock the combination until you’ve tried it. Of course, Lou’s does have more than just rotisserie chickens. There are also burgers, fried chicken, creamy frozen custard, and more. But rotisserie meats are our favorite thing to get here. Start with some smashed cucumbers, order a hibiscus paloma, then prepare to get your fingers messy with a half chicken dipped in jalapeño chimichurri or smoked paprika piri-piri." - nicolai mccrary
"Lou’s has a couple of locations in Austin, but this one right next to Barton Springs makes for a convenient stop after a day in the water. A slow-roasted rotisserie chicken might not be the first food that pops into your head after emerging from a 68-degree cold plunge, but just ask yourself what your ancestors would have craved in the Renaissance era, had Barton Springs existed. Of course, Lou’s has more than just rotisserie chickens. There are also burgers, fried chicken, creamy frozen custard, and a whole lot more. But start with some smashed cucumbers, order a hibiscus paloma, then prepare to get your fingers a little messy with a half chicken, just like your forefathers would have wanted. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary" - Nicolai McCrary

"The Barton Springs location of this casual cafe opened on May 15 as a second outpost, offering a straightforward, comfort-focused menu of burgers, chicken tenders, and frozen custard. The location is a conversion of a former casual lakeside restaurant and, while the brand’s original Holly neighborhood outpost (which opened in January 2019 as a bodega-style spot) drew some controversy, this new site is expected to be a low-key, crowd-pleasing addition under the same hospitality group." - Erin Russell
