Moreover, we will have a large group of folks and the Oasis doesn't take reservations, and the wait on a Saturday evening in the spring can easily top an hour for a party of four.
Billy's has a group setup available that may work much better. Plus, I'm personally a fan of locally brewed beer and of BBQ in general. But as Starwood Lurker noted, if anyone wants to try out The Oasis, they would have plenty of opportunity. |
Have been to both uncle billy's and oasis. Billy's wins on both drink selection and food. Oasis food isn't bad but as most say you only go there for the view. Oasis has more outdoor space but the views are the same. Also the Iguana Grill is a nice spot on Lake Travis w/live music in the evenings.
Not sure of how the logistics would work this out but an Austin Food Cart Tour would be great! http://austinfoodcarts.com/ |

Managed to make it out to Uncle Billy's on the Lake with Mackieman, Mrs. Mackie, colpuck, and the rest of the birthday revellers and I think this place will do us nicely for a Saturday late afternoon - evening wrap-up.
Also, confirming that you actually have to walk by The Oasis to get to Uncle Billy's, so anyone who would rather fight the crowds to get in there can certainly do so. Hopefully, by next year, we'll get some rain to fill the Highland Lakes. Otherwise, we may be navigating to get around the "sometimes" islands. ;) Best regards, William R.

Agreed. Their locally brewed beer was great as well. :)
