Joe was amazing. We went on a corporate event to three different food sites. He gave the history of the restaurant and the site. He gave some background as to how it started as well as information about the owners of the establishment. Every place we visited was beautiful and exciting and fun. He was attentive and made accommodations for people who had certain food and drinking needs. This was a top-notch tour and I highly recommend it. Thank you so much. read more

Absolutely amazing! The food and drinks were so tasty! They were organized, efficient, and took everyone's individual dietary needs into consideration. Could not have asked for a better activity in Austin! If I am ever in town again, I will book another tour with this company. So knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating. read more

Phenomenal! Our host was so energetic and educational. Food was amazing, 10/10 recommend!!

A food tour is a must when visiting a new city so we went with Austin Eats Food Tour. I liked the tour and our guide but did not like the lack of walking and cuisine options. In their defense, the heat does play a factor but it was cooler during our visit plus we had three of the same cuisine types in a row during our tour so I was not a fan of that. In the end, I do recommend this company. read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! Excellent tour! No need for sneakers because there's a coach bus filled with goodies that take you from place to place. It's amazing! Joe was in training and did an excellent job. Keith was a pro and it was clear that he's passionate about Austin! I couldn't stop raving about this experience when it came to an end. read more

Amazing tour of the town and I owe it all to Brynn!?! (sp)? She was a true navigator at the helm of an adventure for my wife and I. We found the town initially vast and unknown but after Brynn's command of the helm on our journey through the seas of the city life I truly felt at ease. O captain my captain you knew what was up and I think she had the details down better than our past excursions to the ends of the earth. I've been to Iceland and Hawaii and everything in between yet this was the single most impactful tour I've been on! I will always come back so long as Brynn directs the entertainment and knowledge of this fascinating city! Thanks again! I will always recommend this tour! read more

I was looking for something fun to do this weekend while visiting my son who lives in Austin, TX, and came upon the AUSTIN EATS FOOD TRUCK TOUR. That sounded like something really fun to do, so I signed up. Our tour guide was super friendly and kept the atmosphere fun. He made sure that everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. In fact, by the end of the tour, we had all made some new friends. In my opinion, our guide was a five-star host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The tour started on time. The van was comfortable and always prompt to take us to the next place. Our guide provided provided us a variety of beverages throughout the day which kept us well-quenched. In fact, I had to make a pit stop at La Barbecue, where I was delighted to find a super cool bathroom, with blinking lights and disco music! It was truly a unique experience. As for the food, the tour did not disappoint. We were given a variety of food from breakfast to dessert, including a brisket and cheese kolache from Kerlaches, sliced brisket and pulled pork from La Barbecue, and a fried chicken sandwich with curry from Spicy Boys. We also tried Industry's breakfast taco with salsa and a variety of brews from Zilkers. Finally, for dessert, I chose the salty caramel gelato from Dolce Neve Gelato. Although I didn't have enough experience at these restaurants to write a full review, my brief visit and taste test was 95% positive. Most of the food was absolutely delicious, and I had a great time trying new things. There was definitely more food than I could eat; in fact, I had to leave some. The tour guide did offer "doggie" bags to those who wanted them. There were long lines in front of several of the places, indicating how popular these places were. The plus for us being a tour is that we got to skip the lines. That was a bit hit! The only negative aspect of the tour was the initial confusion caused by an incorrect time in the confirmation email, but it was a minor issue that didn't affect our overall experience. I would highly recommend AUSTIN EATS FOOD TRUCK TOUR to anyone looking for a fun and delicious way to explore Austin's food scene. The tour changes its route on a regular basis, so I would definitely go back for another round. Overall, it was a great day filled with great food and lots of fun. read more

This review will not do justice to how incredible an experience we had with Austin Eats Food Tours! But I'll do my best. Myself and 3 friends did this tour on a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon as part of a bachelorette weekend. All together, the tour was about 12 people, so fairly small and intimate group. Overall I'd give our experience a 9/10 and here's why: Food: 8/10 - You'll indulge in some of the best food Austin has to offer in a short amount of time, so definitely come hungry. We had La Barbecue (all of our faves) and Spicy Bird at our first stop @ Zilker Brewery, Lazarus Brewery, Granny's Tacos and Easy Tiger. Most of us were full by the 2nd or 3rd food item, so you'll definitely be stuffed by the end. Service: 10/10 - Our tour guide was Joe and he couldn't have been nicer! He was also so knowledgeable. Made us all feel welcome from the very start. You can tell he loves doing this, and he's great at it! Dietary accommodations: I'm gluten free and someone else in the group was dairy free. I went into this tour thinking it would be impossible to eat everything, but Joe made sure I was able to find a substitution at each stop when necessary. I was able to fully indulge in the BBQ, had a substitution of papaya salad and tater tots at Spicy Bird, had the breakfast taco and mole taco on corn at Lazarus and Granny's respectively, and instead of having the French toast at Easy Tiger, I got a gift card for a gelato place down the street instead. Such a nice gesture! Value: 9/10 - All things considered, for the amount of food and alcohol (there were NA options avail at the each stop in case you don't partake) we had, I'd say it was worth the $99 pp. Probably saved about $20-30 or so between those and tips. read more

I have done a food tour one other time in Miami and had a great time . So I was very excited to do another one on my trip to Austin. I was with my best friend and her Aunt (who lives in Austin) and we had the best time ! Our tour guide was fun and very accommodating ! My friends aunt is gluten free and he made sure to tell her at each stop that it was okay for her to eat. I do not like carbonation in any of my drinks, and at each place he made sure he accommodate me, which I was not expecting and I ended up having one of my favorite drinks I have ever had. All the food and drink spots we stopped at were fantastic; and even better , my friends Aunt hadn't even been to any one of the places so she found some new good spots to go to. Since I absolutely loved Austin, I will be coming back to visit and definitely be doing another food tour with Austin Eats ! Can't wait! read more

Super fun, great food, very informative tour. We learned a lot about Austin while eating fresh, delicious food & meeting great people! I would recommend the experience if you are from out of town & want to have good vibes and do something to orient you to the city! read more

Officially known as the Luxe Brunch by Austin Eats Food Tour, but really it should be renamed to The Best Bang for your Buck Food Tour in Austin, TX! Some amazing offerings on that day like the best biscuit I've ever had. I won't forget you, biscuit. Nom nom nom This food tour provided the most food and dranks I've ever consumed in 3.5 hours on a tour. And we were shuttled all around in a bus with AC. A must during the hottest and humid week in October! Highly recommend if you're there on a weekend. I probably had the best biscuit I've ever put in my mouth that day. I still think of it often as I've mentioned it twice in this short but sweet review. read more

The overall experience was neat and also nice to have someone explain some Austin history, while not having to worry about driving yourself or standing in line. I did the BBQ Brunch and Brews tour which started at Lazarus Brewing. Phenomenal place which I could've stayed at all day. The beer was amazingly good (you got 2 small pours), and the chorizo breakfast taco was amazing! After that we did Kerlich BBQ, which I thought was alright (I'm not a BBQ fan) but the kolaches were to die for! We had a super fancy, very cold tour bus that we rode on that had some beer, cider, water and soda on. I wish there was more, as people seemed to be fighting for water and a group of frat boys drank most of the beer. We hit up Hightower, which honestly I didn't care for at all. I didn't think the chicken and waffles were any good (super salty and funky, maybe old tasting). When I asked what kind of beer they had the waitress just said "IPA, Hefen..." I kinda want to know what brands since there's some I don't like. We topped that off with legit gelato at Gemelli and finished with 2 small pours at Zilker Brewing (very good beer). I would definitely try one of these tours again as Sheena our tour guide was fantastic- very friendly, outgoing and knowledgeable. I wasn't a fan of the food in general (minus the gelato- yum), and there wasn't as much beer tasting as I expected/wanted. But I guess I'll have to try the happy hour one. Definitely worth a go to explore new places around aust read more

I've never done a food tour before, but my mom had a great experience with one in Georgia, so we decided to give it a try. We had the option of going on a limo tour, but the shuttle tour sounded more fun and laid-back. I'm glad we went with Austin Eats Food Tours! Our tour started at 10:30 am, and we visited six different spots. Our first stop was at Kerlaches, and we both got half a Kerlache, which was amazing and an excellent way to start the day. Then, we went to LaBarbeque, a locally-owned spot where we had brisket and pulled pork. Make sure to check out both bathrooms - they're unique and worth a photo. One very cool thing about the tour was line-skipping. When we pulled up to LaBarbeque and saw the huge line that literally wrapped around the side of the building, we were so glad we were on the tour! We went straight in and didn't have to wait in line. Next, we went to Zilker Brewing Company, where we tried two beers. The Heavenly Daze was hazy, juicy, and low in bitterness, while the Coffee Milk Stout was creamy and robust. We also tried the Spicy Boys spicy chicken sandwich, which was delicious, and the yellow curry roti, which was mild but flavorful. We then went to Industry and tried the Al Pastor breakfast taco, which was my least favorite thing on the tour. Finally, we stopped at Dolce Neve Gelato, where I had the terimasu flavor, and it was an excellent way to end the day. Our guide, Joe, was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a brief history of each place we visited and made us feel like we were discovering great local spots. There were about 20 of us on the tour, and my mom and I had the chance to chat with some great local Austinites, as well as visitors from other places. The shuttle had local alcohol in the cooler, one of them direct from Zilker, and I had another Heavenly Daze since it was so good. The only critique I have is that the breakfast taco place didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the tour, and I would have preferred to visit a more exciting spot. Also, I received two different emails with different tour times, and it would be helpful to ensure that the time is consistent. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with Austin Eats Food Tours and would do it again. The tour provided a great opportunity to discover local spots, taste delicious food, meet new people, and skip long lines. Highly recommended. Sorry no photos. read my moms review for that. lol read more

Joe gave us an amazing tour of the best eats on the East side. Barbecue, pizza, tacos, sourdough, drinks... everything was scrumptious! Joe was fun and shared stories behind the food places and their founders. Loved it! read more

Did the food tour today and had a GREAT time. We purchased the ticket that included alcohol with our food. We all met at Zilker Brewing Co for a drink and sampled some delicious pulled pork, brisket, chipotle slaw from La Barbecue. I had Zilker's Mango Seltzer and hubby tried two of their IPAs which he liked a lot. The next stop was just a short walk to VIA 313 to sample 3 pizzas and a beer. Next we went to Lazarus Brewing Company. I really enjoyed Hellshot, a smoked helles. Hubby tried two IPAs. We also got a breakfast taco. Our last stop was a little longer walk to Easy Tiger. Got to try their French toast and lemonade. Joe was a great tour guide and shared a lot of history about the places we went to. read more

Just had a tour with Dell Technologies. BEST. TOUR. EVER. If you go, ask for Joe to be your guide. He knows EVERYTHING about Austin and is so thorough with his descriptions of the restaurants. If you're a company wanting to get the crew together for a nice team-building event, DO IT. So much fun. Tasted new food. And had a great time on the ride to every location. PERFECT TIME!! read more

Perfect!!! I spent a lot of time online trying to find the best tour group for a small private walking tour. I'm so glad we booked with Austin Eats!! We booked a private food tour for a birthday celebration with friends. Joe was our tour guide - and seriously perfect again! He planned a really nice walking tour in East Austin, we loved all of the stops, he was really fun to talk with and I appreciated all of the little things he took care of. We had great seating, he'd always bring by extra waters, shared interesting information, etc... This is a quality tour and you will be very happy you booked with them, I promise! read more

This tour was amazing! First of all, plenty of food!. We start with the golden egg (so delicious), then kolache, BBQ, fried chicken, churros. Plus beer, cider and even a cocktail (at the fried chicken place) were included. I would really recommend this tour! Great experience. read more

Jesus. This tour is awesome. We went originally because my husband went to high school with one of the hosts. The entire experience was extraordinary. At first I thought $85 for a couple of hours tasting samples sounded ridiculous. By the end of the day, I couldn't understand how they actually make money- it's that incredible of a value. Scott was our host and he was awesome!!! Such a cool guy and a great personality. He was cool with the adults and the OLDER kids (note* kids under 16 aren't allowed but the point of that clause is to ensure that everyone- the kids themselves and other adults on the tour have a great time... there's some adult language, some beer and cider on the bus, discussion of Austin's first brothel, etc..). Do not bother eating ANYTHING before you go on this tour, perhaps even the night before and go ahead and plan on skipping any meals for the rest of the day afterwards ;-) Back to the tour... getting La Barbeque without waiting in line in the rain for 3 hours before the restaurant is even open and the rest of the line glares as you walk right in? Priceless. We did 4 stops and all were incredible. The stops change based on the circumstances because they seem to have partnerships with all of the best vendors in Austin. Great food, great drinks, great fun and great entertainment. If you can only do one thing in Austin- make sure this is it!!!! *ps. only one minor tweak or suggestion: over half of the group didn't like beer but were excited to be offered an adult beverage when the tour started out (most of the ladies) and it seemed like they were going to get into a fight over the last can of cider on the bus ;-) Maybe have more ciders on board, just in case. read more

Fantastic. I truly don't need to say more but here it goes. I love that the places we went on the Brunch and Brewery tour were off-the-beaten-path diamonds in the rough. Our tour guide (Eric) was fun and enthusiastic as well as knowledgeable about the city as a whole. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour even for locals looking to find some awesome hidden eats. Thanks Eric! read more

Highly Successful Large Corporate Group Outing Can't say enough good things about Callie & Austin Eats Food Tours. We had a large (98 person) corporate group who wanted a "brisket - making demo" included in their event. Callie has such excellent relations with Austin's restaurants - she made everything happen exactly as requested & surpassed expectations. The guides were wonderful - very professional & knowledgeable. The venue (Stiles Switch's BBQ) was perfect! The food was beyond delicious. Seriously the best. Bartenders & all staff were wonderful & very accommodating. And the transportation was ideal. Our client was so pleased. I HIGHLY recommend contacting Callie/Austin Eats Food Tours if you are ever in need of a creative idea for a group of any size who want a true "Austin experience." They made my partner & I look like heroes! read more

We've thrown axes. We've escaped all the rooms. We've top golfed till the cows came home. But this year we wanted to try something different for our company team outing -- and boy did a private trip with Austin Eats Food Tour not disappoint. There's really nothing better than being picked up at your doorstep and then being whisked away to 5 all-star Austin restaurants to happily eat your face off. The highlights: - Andy was an absolute dream to work with as far as pre-planning questions and arranging the date and time. - The restaurant choices. So many awesome ones to choose from, it was hard to narrow down. Added bonus : Via 313's February special was a Lobster Pie - be still my New England Girl heart! - Skye, our tour guide goddess, who knew all the ins and outs of our spots and was just so friendly and welcoming to the group. - The bang for your buck. These tours are worth every penny. Generous amounts of food and beverages, copious amounts of laughs. I really can't wait to do another one. read more

This tour was great from beginning to end! Our tour guide was very friendly and well prepared with information and accommodations for the tour. The bus was nice and air conditioned, I would recommend it over walking in the heat of the day! We had four food truck stops and each had a nice, filling bite and/or refreshing drinks. I also enjoyed talking with the other guests as we shared family-style dining. I learned about the eating spots in east Austin and wanted to visit each one for a full dining experience! read more

My husband and I really enjoyed the Food Truck tour this weekend! We enjoy food tours when we visit new cities and Austin we were sure Austin wouldn't disappoint. Austin is one of the greatest food cities in the country and we were treated to several great examples. We're from Kansas City and we both agreed that the BBQ we tried from la Barbeque is some of the best we've ever had. BBQ in Austin rivals BBQ in Kansas City! Our guide was fantastic and the variety of food was spot on. We'd do this tour and others from Austin Eats again in a heartbeat, and plan to book again the next time we're in town. Thanks for a great experience! read more

I've now experienced Austin Eats public/group tours and private/corporate tours a few times, each tour has been awesome. My first experience with Austin Eats was a "Best of Austin" Food Truck tour on a Saturday in November 2018. I purchased 10 tickets on a public tour to celebrate my birthday with some close friends. Everyone raved that it was a fun experience (most especially for the visitors - who loved that they were able to see some of Austin's iconic neighborhoods and try some of the best food truck selections across the city)! We couldn't finish all of the food we tried (a no-wait, family style sampler platter from la Barbeque was the crowd favorite) but made room for dessert from Churro Co. I also loved that they provided local beers, ciders and koozies on the tour van - which made the day feel especially celebratory! The whole group was fun and the tour guides are entertaining. Pick-up and drop-off were a breeze, and walking distance to some cool bars and bites on West 6th (for afterparty/football). Great bang for buck, worth every penny. On the corporate side, you have more flexibility on date/time/pick-up & drop-off location. You can even customize the itinerary a bit (based on operating hours for the trucks). Word of warning, our event was on a Monday - which is when most trucks are closed for a day-off - so I would change the day of the week if I booked again! Another difference from the public tour is that you will be asked to cover the cost of the tour van (which I felt was reasonable for the 3-4 hour tour and a designated driver for the drinkers). Another FYI on the corporate tour option - the "tour van cooler" stocked with local beers didn't exist - so I'd ask for that next time around. It really does add to the overall tour experience (now having it both ways). My team rated this their favorite "team fun" event of 2019 and I've recco'd it several times for this reason! read more

This review is for the Food Truck tour. AWESOME!! Scott the tour guide was a total gem. All locations were delicious! The variety was excellent, without giving too much away of the tour - we had pastries, chocolate, BBQ, Mediterranean, pizza, latin dessert, and of course BEER. GOOD BEER. Scott was full of information and amazing energy. I had such a good time and would totally do this tour again. 5 stars all the way! read more

I hosted a bachelorette party this past weekend and we had 15 girls buy tickets to the 10am Saturday food truck tour! We had an absolute blast. Scott was our tour guide for the day and he was absolutely amazing, so fun and nice! As a local, I was worried that this tour would be too touristy or not go to the best food spots but it exceeded all expectations! Soooo happy! read more

Oh man, it was the best Sunday we have all had in a long time! I kept hearing "this is awesome man, thank you for inviting me" from the group. Adam did such a great job of guiding us and keeping the group on track and informed. It truly felt like we were hanging out with another friend. My friends can be a rowdy bunch (but never disrespectful) and what might have been uncomfortable for another tour guide or company did nothing but put a grin on Adam's face. The restaurants were gracious and engaged and the portion sizes left us with only one regret....that we didn't have bigger stomachs! Thank you Austin Eats Food Tours for exceeding my expectations and making this the best event of the year! read more
