Chubby Cattle, a Japanese-inspired, all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant is coming to Barton Creek Square this summer, a media representative for the restaurant said.

On the menu: Chubby Cattle specializes in serving Wagyu barbecue, along with a variety of sushi and other sides included in the all-you-can-eat experience.

Diners can earn points and rewards through Chubby Cattle’s free membership club. There is also the option to “supercharge” a membership starting at $28 a year, allowing members to receive discounted pricing at each visit.

What else? Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings from March 2026 show another Chubby Cattle location is expected to open in San Antonio.

Chubby Cattle has locations across the country, with its first location opening in 2023 in Monterey Park, California.

Deep Eddy Pool will reopen April 13 after annual cleaning and maintenance.

The details: The pool was originally slated to reopen April 11, but due to rainy conditions, the opening was delayed. The pool was repainted, and the delay ensures the paint will dry, according to a news release.

Deep Eddy closed March 28, as previously reported by Community Impact.

Going forward: Deep Eddy Pool will be closed every Tuesday for cleaning starting April 21. 

Austinites can visit other pools across the city, including Big Stacy, Bartholomew, Springwoods, Colony Park and Barton Springs during Deep Eddy Pool's closure. More Austin pools can be found on the city's website.
