Thanks for the list! I love Cedar Creek (and the whole Onion Creek franchise, for that matter).
I would add Empire Cafe and the Lakehouse in Discovery Green to your list.
Out of Africa's back porch has a great outdoor dining area that overlooks the water. The photo above doesn't do it justice.
Out of Africa is closed, and has been for months.
I love sitting outside and haven't tried any of these places! Some of my favorites are La Hacienda on Telge in Cypress and the Willie's chain (Willie Fajitas or Ice House). Great thing about La Hacienda is that their patio has those water cooled fans that are like A/C.
The only problem with some of these "Family Friendly" places with patios is that a lot of times it is the only smoking area. Nothing like sitting on the patio while your child plays in a sandbox next to a table full of smokers getting drunk.
The number one best place to sit outside is the Rainbow Lodge! The view, the food, the people -- all perfect!
Beck's on Westheimer near Augusta - awesome patio!!
