May the luck of the Irish be with you today.

There’s nothing like sitting back and relaxing with a sweet treat — that’s just what you get at Front Porch Frozen Desserts. A family owned and operated frozen yogurt place just off of South Interstate 35 near the Round Rock Gateway, Front Porch is modern-meets-retro sort of place where you can relax and kick back. Come in and check out the decor, with walls paneled with reclaimed wood from the area and tables made from local pine trees. Look along the wall and you’ll find dispensers for different flavors of frozen yogurt and sorbet, procured from a Texas dairy. There are always a nice selection of flavors and fruit and candy toppings. And best of all, you get to make your dessert yourself, paying by the ounce.

Louisiana Longhorn Cafe happily offers Round Rock residents a place to enjoy authentic Creole cooking in a friendly, relaxed environment. The walls of this restaurant are decked with Cajun themed decorations, including a longhorn sporting Mardi Gras beads. 

Most dishes are based off family recipes and have a heavy emphasis on crawfish, shrimp, fish, a generous amount of spices, and plenty of creamy sauces. Try the fettuccini alfredo with crawfish, the crab cake stuffed flounder filet, or the spicy oyster gumbo. If you're craving etouffee or a po'boy, Louisiana Longhorn Cafe has those, too. Dishes are spicy, but not hot enough to put off those with a more delicate palate.

With a free five story parking garage nearby, this is a great place for large parties to get together and enjoy each other's company over some great food.
