Anyone know where this "Death Proof" scene was shot in Austin?

I'm a big fan of the movie Death Proof, yet I've never visited any of the Austin locations it was shot in and I've lived here for almost thirteen years. That all changed this weekend. I checked out a few Death Proof spots. Anyway. I know that in Death Proof, the Texas Chili Parlor is located out in the woods...but in real life, it is actually located in the city side of downtown Austin. In the movie, it was also shown having a jukebox, a parking lot and a back porch. In reality, the Texas Chili Parlor doesnt have any of that stuff. That was a special detail Quentin Tarantino added himself for his own fictional version of the restaraunt. The porch scenes were filmed at another Austin location, and what I'd like to know...where were those scenes shot?

The last comment on that picture says the porch parts were shot on a set, so who knows. The next picture in the set is where the parking lot scene was shot (according to the photo's caption).
