Fareground, Austin’s first food hall is welcoming new restaurant partners JewBoy Sliders and Freshii to the downtown destination for eateries and retailers. Located in the heart of downtown Austin at 111 Congress Avenue, Freshii is currently open for business and JewBoy Sliders will be opening on Monday, April 24.
JewBoy Sliders, founded by Mo Pittle who is also the owner of the beloved JewBoy Burgers and JewBoy Sub Shop, offers a fresh take on classic sliders with a Jewish twist. The menu features a mashup of the existing JewBoy concepts in slider form including a variety of mouth-watering options from classic beef burgers to the Reuben, French Dip and Falafel sliders, combining traditional Jewish flavors with contemporary culinary techniques. JewBoy Sliders at Fareground will also serve up cold sliders (smoked chicken salad, smoked turkey breast, club and tuna), mini latkes and fries (among other fried stuff), border style queso, a specialty caesar salad and more. Pittle’s culinary inspiration comes from both his reform Jewish upbringing near the Texas/Mexican border, mixed with Austin’s culture of creativity and inclusion.
Freshii is a healthy fast-casual restaurant offering salads, wraps, bowls, soups, cold-pressed juices, smoothies, and more. Freshii is constantly innovating and evolving their menu in their pursuit of making healthy food convenient and affordable. Their menu is customizable and able to accommodate various dietary preferences.
