Stumpy’s Lake Travis at Sandy Creek Marina
Your day on Lake Travis doesn’t have to end at the dock
Stumpy’s Lake Travis officially brings the Stumpy’s Lakeside Grill experience to Sandy Creek Marina, giving members, boaters, and Austin visitors a true dock-and-dine restaurant on the water directly at the marina. Located in the former Shack 512 space, Stumpy’s combines casual, inspired Texas lake food with live entertainment on the deck, cold beers, colorful cocktails, and panoramic views into a destination designed for the Lake Travis lifestyle.
Whether you arrive by boat, golf cart, or car, Stumpy’s makes it easy to turn a day on the water into an evening worth staying for.
A new chapter for a favorite North Texas destination
The original Stumpy’s Lakeside Grill has been an important point in the vibrant historic small-town culture at Lake Granbury Marina since 2009, becoming a favorite gathering place (and dessert stop) for boaters, families, and travelers looking for great food and a laid-back atmosphere.
Now, that same lakeside energy has arrived at Sandy Creek Marina.
Stumpy’s Lake Travis carries forward the traditions that made the Granbury location successful: welcoming hospitality, giant burgers, fresh seafood, goblet-sized margaritas, taco and catfish recipes that have won “Best of Hood County” awards, and a community-minded atmosphere. But Stumpy’s Lake Travis also embraces the personality of Lake Travis itself by harboring the unmistakable aura that you’ve just had a weekend to remember, and it came with a lakefront view.
Dock, dine, and stay awhile
Boaters can tie up directly at Sandy Creek Marina’s designated restaurant parking and walk straight to lunch, dinner, or happy hour without ever leaving the waterfront behind. After a morning cruise, a fuel stop, or a day exploring Lake Travis, we invite guests to relax dockside with cold drinks, boats on the horizon, and live music floating across the patio.
That convenience is part of what makes Sandy Creek Marina such a unique VIP Marinas destination on Lake Travis. Members already enjoy covered slips, fuel docks, a ship store, community events, and one of the most welcoming boating environments on the lake. Stumpy’s adds another layer to that experience by creating a place where the boating community naturally comes together.
As the sun drops over the marina, the patio blossoms into a jungle of soft lights and live sounds at dusk. Boats ease into slips, music drifts across the water, and tables fill with families, boat crews, and weekend visitors settling in for another round of drinks and one more basket of tacos before calling it a night.
We welcome our transient visitors, long-term members, and anybody looking for a great time on Lake Travis.
Lake food with an Austin twist
At Stumpy’s Lake Travis, the menu is built for lake appetites. Guests will find fresh seafood baskets and po’boys, colorful tacos, homemade salsa, condensation-dripping cocktails, wild-caught Gulf colossal shrimp, and the restaurant’s signature Build Your Own Burger experience, in half-pound or one-third-pound choices.
Weekly specials, happy hour gatherings, live music nights, and themed events help turn ordinary dinners into full evenings on the water. Some guests stop in for a quick bite after fueling up at Sandy Creek. Others stay for sunset and find themselves hanging out well into the evening.
For Sandy Creek Marina, the addition of Stumpy’s creates a more complete waterfront experience for members and guests alike. Whether you are a longtime Sandy Creek member or searching for your next favorite Lake Travis restaurant on the water, Stumpy’s welcomes you to pull up and stay awhile.
