I came here because a friend of mine is moving, so we all met here for lunch. The place has a cool vibe, including outdoor games. I placed my lunch order using the QR code, but in the future I would probably go inside to order, as it felt like multiple steps. My son and I ordered burgers -- he got his with fries and I got mine with tots -- and my daughter ordered the hot honey turkey biscuit. It took quite a while for the food to come out, but what I will say is that the burger I ordered is literally one of the best burgers I have ever had. It had the right amount of savory, sweet, and crunchiness, along with the juiciness of the burger patty. I don't live in that area, but the next time I'm nearby, I would go there just to get that burger! read more

We met our family here for dinner on a Friday night. There is a plenty of outdoor seating and the space is dog and kid friendly. There are pickle ball courts available and a small playground and 2 yard games for kids. You order from your QR code at the table which makes the service quicker. The drinks and food came out quickly. I had the quesadillas which were really good and a big portion size. The grilled veggies in the quesadilla added so much flavor than your plain Jane quesadilla. There is a wide array of food options so even the pickiest eater can find something. This is a great hangout spot for large groups to unwind! read more

Very uncomfortable seating. All metal stools. Horrible. So everybody wants to sit at a a picnic bench for comfort. the picnic benches are all dirty and a few that are inside are always taken. I'm not sure what the attraction is. The menu is very minimal and it's all really horrible bar food. Customers are kind of rude as well. we were sitting at a picnic bench outside and these people let their children come and sit all over the table, while we were sitting there. when they could've easily gone to the one on the other side, which was just as close. parents did not at all say a word to them so we got up and we moved so we could keep our eyes on the bench tables inside and they never came available. After about 30 minutes we decided to leave, and they don't have ice cream either. won't be back. You can forget about watching any sports games because the sound is not customer's choice. It's whatever's on the screen. read more

Bouldin Acres....what a fun place! We held my best friends retirement party here from 11-2pm. It was so much fun and what a great environment for a large gathering. We had about 55-75 people coming by in droves. The beer selection is next level draft and bottles. They have a really nice signature cocktail menu with the house recipes but they will make anything g you ask for. The bar part of the establishment is top notch. They also have a menu for food and appetizers. We had the giant pretzel, chips and salsa, and burger with waffle fries. All he food was fresh hot and made perfectly. The service staff was friendly and very attentive. We were inside the bar area which had great seating and table room as people just wondered and visited. They are know for the pickleball courts which look like a reallly fun time. Maybe we play a game on next visit read more

We went on a chilly afternoon for a friend's retirement party. Luckily there was ample indoor space! No one played pickle ball but we enjoyed the bar. Great selection of draft beers and cocktails. I tried and loved the frozen espresso martini! The food was bar typical...pretzels, cheese sticks, burgers, fried pickles. Staff was friendly and attentive! read more

Came here for a work happy hour and everyone had such a nice time! We reserved the pickleball courts for two hours, which was so much fun and the food and drinks were great! The servers and bartenders did an awesome job at keeping things moving fast despite having multiple events going on. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well. read more

We were charged an automatic 20% tip even though we received virtually no personal service. Very deceptive business practice and unfortunately cannot recommend this establishment. Went there on a Thursday around noon for a quick lunch with our toddler. We're visiting for the holiday weekend and wanted some place where she could run around and get some energy out after being in the car all day before. You order using a QR code at your table. Our food was brought out within 10 minutes and was very hot and fresh and good. The menu prices were a little expensive but the lemonade did come with a free refill, which helped offset it a little bit. The next day, my husband and I got our bills emailed to us and noticed there was an automatic 20% tip that was added (after taxes and a convenience fee (whatever that is), on to the gross amount of the bill. This felt extremely deceptive as we never saw a place to adjust a tip nor saw where it was added, although I'm sure it was in the fine print that everyone is too busy to read when they're starving, thirsty, hot and dealing with a cranky toddler. No one ever came over once to check on us to see if our food was ok, to ask with we needed salt or ketchup or napkins, or ask if we'd like that free refill that was included for our lemonade. Every time we needed something, it was a separate trip to the bar. I even (like a fool) bussed our own table and wiped it down because I naively thought that the staff were going to have to do this I tipped because I never saw a place to add one on to the tab. Overall, I would not return to this establishment. At the very least, if they're going to charge you an automatic tip, staff should be checking on you a few times to at least make you feel welcome and taken care of. read more

Went with a group for an afternoon lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This isn't my side of town, so I had no idea this place was even there. It's kind of tucked away and hidden next to the post office. There's indoor seating and outdoor seating and pickle ball courts too! Great for groups, individuals, families and furry friends also. There's plenty of options when it comes to the food. I was ecstatic when I saw there were several choices that included turkey because it's not on the online menu. Since I don't eat beef, chicken or pork, it's often hard to find something on menus I can heartily enjoy like everyone else. Especially if it's not a seafood restaurant or there aren't any turkey options. So kudos to the chef for variety. I hope it wasn't just because it was around thanksgiving. I ordered the buffalo turkey sandwich and loved it. It came with waffle fries and those were good too. The lemonade was just how I like it, not too sweet. It's easy to order from your table using the QR code and app and the food comes out pretty quickly. However, I had to take off a star, because this was my first time there and I had questions about and had to keep getting up to go to the bar to get them answered. It would've been great if a server could have come over to check on our group and see if we had any questions and explained their process. As well to remind us that using the app keeps an open tab. It was an hour or so later after we left when I realized that I had not technically paid and had to close out my tab. Otherwise it was a great time with good food. read more

Bouldin Acres - Buffalo Turkey Sandwich and Waffle Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is my second trip here, the first time was a great experience. The atmosphere is lively, while still being kid friendly. I love that you can order from your table using the QR code or order drinks from the bar. This visit I ordered from the brunch menu and got the cheesesteak with brisket and fries. The sandwich was pretty bland. It was made with grilled peppers and onions. And a slice of cheese. After my first experience, the sandwich is not one that I would recommend. The cinnamon roll was pretty good, but the price of $8.. probably wouldn't order again. The chips and queso were delicious per usual. My friends also ordered the build your own mimosa kit and that is always enjoyable. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. I will return and simply try something new! read more

The Bouldin Acres up north has a similar setup to the one on South Lamar. You'll find the majority of seating outdoors along with pickleball courts, while indoors has open air seating and the bar. The vibe is super casual and serves American bar food. Not much to rave about, as I'm not into outdoor seating or pickleball, but I'm sure this is a vibe for others that are! read more

This is a fun place, good for families, dogs allowed, and the food is delicious and generously portioned. We went earlier in the evening on a cold day and they had the patio heaters going so sitting outside was still comfortable, as a sober person, I appreciate the non-alcoholic beer and mocktail options. There is a playground for the kids and two pickleball courts you can reserve. This is a fun place, we will definitely be back! read more

Bouldin Acres is very close to my work so I've stopped by a few times! I actually love the order at the table feature via phone here--i feel less rushed. I've had the wings here and their cheesecake and both were delicious. As far as cocktails, love the cherry limeade. I've only been here late afternoon, would love to check it out at night. All staff I've interacted on both occasions were great. Thanks! read more

Was invited to a networking event at this Bouldin Acres where you can meet, eat, drink and play. There is plenty of parking in the front. When you first come into the building they have a checkin area with a store and restrooms. There are a variety of food trucks on site to choose from as well as a full service bar with a variety of cocktails. We were meeting to play pickleball and you can book the pickleball courts in half hour increments a week in advance. There are several pickleball courts in the outdoor area in the back with seating options including picnic tables for people to sit and visit or enjoy food and drinks. My friends brought the pickleball equipment but rented the pickleball courts for a few hours. There are also other entertainment options including TVs, bar games and playground. The patio is dog friendly and also family friendly. It was a great venue to book a networking event and a very enjoyable experience. read more

The vibe of this place is really cute however it is quite pricey. The food is ordered on an app and comes out relatively fast. There's a pickleball court but you have to pay to play -$20 for 30 min. While it's a nice place to meet up with friends, I was not super impressed. read more

Plenty of parking, well lit. Clean, open and spacious with 2 pickleball courts, play area for kids as well as a doggie enclosure. Plenty of picnic tables as well as tall top chairs and cute sitting areas. TV 's with sports and covered seating area also . Indoor seating also available with a bar and games. Water stations and dog bowls around the place. The menus are by QR code and tables are numbered so they bring the food out. Drinks are tasty too. We had a Bouldn boozy and a Mango tango. Very relaxing atmosphere and weather was perfect. Definitely a place to add to favorites. read more

Bouldin Acres - High noon hard seltzers - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came out on a Friday evening around 7:30 and the place was packed! No parking available. I think some of my friends parked at the USPS nearby that was closed, not sure if that's alright. You have to order your food through a QR code or NFC on your table that directs you to download an app called Union. I cannot express how bad this app is. Not only is it laggy, it also doesn't accept prepaid visas. Having to install an app just to order is ridiculous. Some of my table were able to get away with using some web interface but on Android, I was redirected to the app download every time. I guess I went on their opening weekend or right after it? Either way, most of the beers on draft were listed as sold out. Their fried cauliflower was also sold out. I ordered the burger and tater tots and my partner got the chicken tenders and fries. The rest of our table got different things like the sausage. There was no rhyme or reason for how orders came out. I ordered my drink first but got it last. My partner's chicken tenders came out 10 minutes before my burger, and it took another 14 minutes for the rest of the food to come out. All in all, we waited 35+ minutes for our table's food. The burger itself was alright. Heavy on the pickle. Tater tots were nice and crispy. I don't like how they serve ketchup packets with the meal. My partner's chicken tenders were pretty dry. Both dishes nut allergy friendly. Overall, a great spot to meet with friends and have a drink or play pickleball (if you reserve a court), but I wasn't a huge fan of the food or service. read more

My friends and I enjoyed visiting with each other at the bar. Jack made me a great "less sweet" Cosmo at my request. We will return! read more

Overall not a bad experience and seems to be a very popular hang out spot. However the parking lot is ridiculously small for the amount of folks they attract and let's be honest, some of these folks can't park. I literally saw someone crawl through their passenger side because someone parked so close to their driver-side door that they couldn't get into their car. So be warned if you are able to park in the lot. Food is a bit pricey and every thing is ordered via QR. However, the drinks came out fast and the wait time for the food wasn't bad. My sister's nachos came with barely any queso but my turkey kale wrap was great. So all in all, this is a solid after work spot just don't expect too much food-wise and order a beer. read more

A great spot for spending time with family and friends, this place boasts a pleasant indoor area with a full bar and food options. While the customer service was decent, there's room for improvement. They have screens set up for watching sports . Outdoors, you can enjoy games like pickleball and cornhole or simply relax. It's very dog-friendly and even has a playground for the little ones. The shared restrooms include a diaper-changing stall, and overall, the dining area is impressively clean. I see myself coming back for sure. read more

This bar is interesting with a pickle ball court and kids play setup in a fenced in area in the back. There are a bunch of outdoor seating, fake grass and an outdoor bar. I'm thinking the outdoor bar is only open for events but this was the first time I've been to this location. Otherwise the inside bar is large with seating inside with a bunch of TVs. The washrooms are unisex. You can order by downloading the menu and the staff will bring it to your table or just go straight to the bar. After the SXSW event was over and the hired DJ packed up, they turned on the audio of one of the games playing on the screen and it was so loud and nobody seemed to watching any game. So that was annoying and was similar to sitting next to a loud person shouting nonsense. It would've been better to continue playing music. The parking lot isn't large to accommodate a large number of people. We parked across the street at a business park and ran across the street mid block. read more

Bouldin Acres - Bouldin Acres - Barbeque Near Me - Austin, Texas

Stopped in after a Austin FC game for a couple of brews and maybe a snack. We saw the tap list had some pretty decent choices plus canned and bottle brews help to round it off. I wish they had a couple more local "exotic" brews but seems that everyone needs to make room for a few taps from 'the big boys'. Still, we found something good to drink but here's hoping they rotate out taps regularly. We ordered the Beef Fajita nachos, which were good and filling for two guys. I don't care for any type of white cheese on nachos though. I think it should be illegal to put anything other than good ole cheddar on nachos or, at the very least, call it something else :) The general food prices were pretty high so I don't see us eating dinner there so splitting the nachos came to about $7.50 for each of us, reasonable for making an appetizer a meal. Two other things that bugged us. 1, seems more and more businesses are trying to move to ordering by phone. If the only way I can order my food and drink is by plugging my credit card number into another vulnerable app for someone to hack then I won't be eating or drinking there. Fortunately, sitting at the bar, we could order directly from the nice bartenders. 2) When you peruse the menu (food or drink) online it is extremely difficult to know what the prices are because they don't list them. When you're sitting at the bar you can see the food prices on the menu but I don't recall that we saw the beer prices. Why can't places be more transparent? Makes me feel like they're trying to lure you in with good looking menu items, and when you see the prices you say... "well, we're already here...". The beer prices on the printed menu are missing. But if you want to know the ABV, well that's there. If you use the QR code thingy the you can look up prices that way, but it's a pain to do that when it could either be on the menu or a black board. All in all this place will probably become a neighborhood staple, due to location and large size and a bazillion TVs running mostly sports. Not exactly our kind of place but if we want options for visiting company, we might consider it due to proximity of our neighborhood. read more

What a GREAT vibe. If you're looking for a place to hang with a good size group and the weather is nice, Bouldin Acres is your place. They have pickleball (reservation based), great food, and an open venue with lots of TVs. I will say that they do have a parking lot, but it was still difficult to find parking during a popular UT game. read more

Bouldin Acres is an excellent addition to the North Austin area! Similar to the one located on the south side, Bouldin Acres excels in games, bar foods, drinks and fun for the family. Easy to order , pay and split checks, they have a QR code system that works really well. Prices are on the higher side for the quality of the food and drinks but if you are willing to spend about $30-40 a person, then you'll be happy with the venue. Pickleball courts are available. It's a bit pricey but a nice bonus to have at the venue. Overall, I'd recommended boudin acres for family and friends for food, drinks, games and televised sports read more

So there are hidden fee's they don't tell anyone about they call a service charge , well how about you can use that service charge for your tips. Also people may choose to go somewhere that doesn't charge a service fee they have options and you will go bankrupt when people stop going there . read more

We had a lot of fun ordering shareables, which were tasty and unique. Not a lot of places around here have white barbecue sauce! Inside was almost like an airplane hangar. It was very large and spacious with a large bar. Since the weather was nice, we opted for the patio. We went a little later in the evening, at around 9 or so on a Thursday, and there were still a lot of kids and dogs around so if you have issues with either of those, waiting to go later won't solve the problem. We got a table pretty easily, although it was difficult to move the overly large and heavy chairs around. There are some pickleball courts, a small dog park, and lots of open space. I hate the app for ordering. We placed our order and the food came out quickly. We ordered pork crispito tacos, smoked wings, and loaded nachos. We ordered the nachos without pickled onions but they came anyway. It was easy enough to pick them off, though. The tacos were definitely our favorite. We will go back to try more things and maybe try sitting inside instead since most of my discomfort was due to where we were sitting, hence 4 stars. I have faith in this place, but it might be a minute before I go back. read more

LOVE this place. Pickle ball courts, quick service (yes you can, but don't HAVE TO order on an app or on a website linked to QR code but if you do, you don't have to enter phone or email...you can also go to the bar if you prefer...nothing took more than 5-7 minutes to be brought to our table), delicious food, plenty of seating and an open layout with tons of TVs (even ones you can see from the pickle all court), makes this place perfect for enjoying the nice weather with your family and pups. 10/10 will come again. read more

My Wife and I and 3 other friends ate here on April 19th. Once we figured out the app to order we ordered our food and drinks. Food was good and drinks were good. What wasn't good was the service. The one Waitress who was on the floor never came to our table, she literally avoided eye contact. The food was brought out by someone who, I guess, didn't speak English. I asked a couple questions and just got a blank look and no answers. After finishing our food and looking at our empty drinks and plates we closed our tab on the app and paid on the app. A day later I received our receipt and saw they had added a 20% tip to our bill. That was not what I agreed to on the app. We are from out of town and left the day after we ate here so I could not go in to restaurant and dispute this. In my mind adding extra is illegal and bad business practice. Beware! Make sure you look at your receipt. We will not eat here again or recommend this establishment. read more

Atmosphere is cool and the food is good. Cost about the same as everywhere else. Easy to order with QR code and Apple Pay is nice, but I do not like or understand the $3.50 per Coke for such a small cup with no free refills‍. Each time you want one...you add to order and pay $3.50 again. I just have never seen that before. Food came pretty quick, but no one followed up with us to see how food was. I guess since everything is done on app and every request for anything extra that you want or forgot, like side sauce or more coke you pay for. We will probably go back since we live right behind it in Gracywoods...but it will not be regularly. Not sure how the pickleball works, the same people were playing the entire time we were there...so we did not sign up. And last...when closing tab since it stays open in the app. It automatically goes to a 25% tip. Not sure what the tip is for, since all they do is deliver. They do not take the order, no follow up when we get and when I asked how in order extra sauce when she delivered our food, she said it goes into the special instructions and did not offer to bring us any‍. They do have togo boxes, but we had to go to the bar and ask for one since no one comes around after food is delivered. We found out it cost extra sauce and is under sides. You do have to order it and pay extra for it. read more
