\"maudies_bee_cave_new01\"As many of you know, Maudie’s restaurants announced a while back that they were planning a new restaurant in the bustling Bee Cave area near the new Hill Country Galleria.\u00a0\u00a0What remained a mystery to most of us was where<\/strong><\/em> exactly this new Maudie’s would be and when<\/em><\/strong> it\u00a0might open.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With the recent demise of El Arroyo Bee Cave, we’re all clamoring for a new place to get our Tex-Mex fill.\u00a0 Iron Cactus <\/a>is great, don’t get me wrong. I love the location right on the outdoor amphitheater; especially if there’s live music.\u00a0 But, if I’m being totally honest it’s got a little bit of a Dallasy vibe to it that just doesn’t feel like Austin Tex-Mex to me.<\/p>\n

Enter Maudie’s<\/a>.\u00a0 These folks have been putting food on the table in Austin since the 50s.\u00a0 And in the early 90s when they changed the menu to Tex-Mex, they did it in a way that Austinites appreciate.\u00a0 The Bee Cave location will be their 6th in town and it appears they are going to do it right.<\/p>\n

Their plans have now been approved by the City of Bee Cave, but they are saying publicly that they are timing the start of construction in such a way that the restaurant will not open until June 2010 or thereabouts.<\/p>\n

The restaurant site<\/a> is located on the eastern\u00a0entrance to\u00a0the Shops at the Galleria behind the old Jim Bob’s BBQ (now The Trading Post Wine Bar and Grill<\/a>.)\u00a0 They plan to build a 5500 square foot free-standing restaurant with a 4000 square foot deck area and a rooftop cantina.\u00a0 Key design points for the eatery include a “hillside cocktail\/waiting area embracing the existing arroyo and oak trees” and an “open rooftop deck rimmed by cushioned buncos and serviced by an upstairs margarita bar and appetizer station.”\u00a0 I can deal with that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bring on June.\u00a0 It’s gonna be a great summer in Bee Cave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
