What’s better than a spectacular view of a colorful Texas sunset? Not much. However, if you add a view of Lake LBJ on the comfortable patio of an excellent restaurant, you’re onto something pretty special. Rain or shine, the view is breathtaking.

On the Rocks, a family-owned business, has seen wonderful success by combining delicious food and stunning views. At this time of year, an outdoor patio is on everyone’s mind. Good food and a cold drink to wash it down are a nice way to spend an afternoon or evening. With “something for everyone,” the menu can be described as American/Italian, and it serves up a variety of options from pasta, steaks, seafood, salads, and burgers. If you love steak and seafood, the Mahi Mahi is a go-to, but the Bistro Filet is a tough contender. Top any entree and appetizer off with a variety of scratch-made desserts like Creme Brulee or fresh Hummingbird Cake.

This restaurant with a view has also become an event location boasting more than just food. In fact, the 200-capacity dining room is now joined by a 300-capacity pavilion with beautiful views galore. The covered, open-air pavilion is the perfect mix of shade and breeze.

With the ability to seat 500 people, On the Rocks is not only an ideal location for weddings and receptions, but it has also broken into the music venue scene with bigger acts being scheduled all the time. While live shows are often free, On the Rocks is hosting their first ticketed show on May 18 with headliners Shotgun Rider and opener Copper Chief. Shotgun Rider has topped the charts and currently boasts the number 1 country song in Texas. Tickets can be found here: ontherocks.thundertix.com
