Johnny Ontiveros, notable Round Rock restaurateur, will be bringing a new venture to Round Rock in the summertime, according to recent reporting in Community Impact. Back Porch Social will be located at 309 W Liberty Avenue, near Golden Chick and Finley’s Round Rock.
What Now Austin briefly contacted Mr. Ontiveros to inquire further about this upcoming establishment, but he did not find himself immediately available for comment.
Community Impact reports that the establishment “will have an arcade, and the menu will include funnel cakes, corn dogs and mozzarella sticks,” suggesting a casual, entertainment-focused atmosphere. The building, formerly home to Domenico’s Auto Glass, appears to be a single story building with a residential feel, likely playing into the establishment’s casual and social vibe.
Reader’s unfamiliar with Ontiveros’s establishments can refer to two downtown Round Rock establishments, just a few blocks away from the upcoming Back Porch Social — Recuerdos, a down-home Tex-Mex restaurant, and Rockey’s Piano Bar, a funky and very popular cocktail establishment.
