    Very tired and a little hungover, I was craving something tasty but definitely not good for me. BussinBuns popped up as something new to try so I decided to give it a go. I got the Bussin fries and here are my thoughts. Crinkly cut fries were pretty good, crispy with good substance. Chicken was crispy on the outside and still juicy inside. My main issue was that the chicken really tasted like it was over-salted. I actually added extra pickles of my own to it to break up some of the salt. Even though, I had a tough time finishing it all just because of the salt content. I must've received a bad batch with a heavy hand. Other than that, the flavor was good, I just wish the chicken wasn't over-salted.

    Bussin' Combo
    Shayer S.

    First time here, and my initial impressions were--honestly, not great. The area is a bit of a dump, and the server wasn't particularly engaging. The music was too loud, making it hard to hear when ordering. We got the Bussin' Combo at X-Hot spice level, a mac and cheese for the kiddo, and a drink. There are a few benches to sit at, so we decided to eat there. They text you when the food is ready, which was convenient. While waiting, I noticed it's really popular for pick-up orders--it stayed busy the entire time we were there. The food took a while, but I don't mind waiting for something freshly prepared. When it finally came, we split everything among the three of us. The mac and cheese initially had spicy seasoning, which was too spicy for the kiddo. We asked them to remove the seasoning and they kindly replaced it with one without it, which we really appreciated. The mac and cheese was delicious, and the kiddo loved it. As for the chicken--it was excellent! Fresh halal chicken that was tender and juicy, yet with a crispy outer batter. The seasoning was properly spicy, just how I like it. Honestly, X-Hot was intense, so I wouldn't go higher next time, but I also wouldn't go lower either! It definitely cleared out my sinuses with all the tears and water streaming from my eyes and nose. Despite the initial poor impressions, we really enjoyed our meal and left totally satisfied. I'd definitely come back, but since they've opened a north location closer to us, we'll be supporting them there instead!

    Pulled up to the Guadalupe location after a 25 minute drive, and I'd do it again without hesitation. When I say this place is bussin', I mean I'd yeet a toddler through a field goal just to get a second location in South Austin (but that's just me being selfish). We ordered the Bussin Mac and the sandwich, both were absolutely unreal. The flavor, the spice, the portion size? All 10/10. The guys in the back were moving quick, food came out hot, and the value for what you get is wild. Blows Hatti B's straight outta the water. Already planning my next trip back, and I'm not coming alone.

    Tender Plate

    This food truck holds true to its name and is BUSSIN. The chicken is so well spiced and crispy! I've tried the tender plate and the combo plate (sandwich + 1 tender). I think the tenders are better than the sandwich because you can taste the flavor of the meat a lot better! There are a few tables for outdoor seating, but most people take it to go. I usually order online and pick it up and it's ready pretty quickly.

    Ordered the hot chicken! The fries are seasoned oh so nice and had the perfect soft but crispy balance. The chicken was fried to perfection. I loved every bite! What a great good truck stop while in Austin. Ate in my car, service was fast, and had zero complaints.

    Bussin Mac
    Jacob K.

    The food here was amazing. I got the bussin Mac and it was one of my favorite things I've had in a while. Every part of the bussin Mac worked so well together to create such a beautiful dish. Mac and cheese, fries, and chicken all together is a dish I had never even thought of before but this idea is ingenious. The wait was pretty long for the food 20min ish, but I think it's highly worth it and I will definitely be coming back.

    So, for a small stand on the side of the road, this place has some fiery in their chicken. Most people think that small stands are 50/50 and never know what you are going to get. We'll have a good gamble on this one. The owner is the guy who takes your order and he has great customer service. It was not spicy enough for me what I ordered, so he threw some more spice and precooked it for me and no charge. I was amazed. They have some picnic tables to just relax and much. Or you can take it with you to go. Over all great experience.

    Service - 3/5 How do you open a restaurant at noon and have no food prep done and it take 25 min for 2 orders. Ambiance 4/5 - a must / need to add umbrellas to the outside tables. Food - 5/5 - very fresh and flavorful! We got the bus bun singles with fries. One was hot and one was mild. Would do mild for both next time. Fries were fresh and had good seasoning. Love the bussin sauce! So the question you are asking is - is it worth the wait? Yes, BUT I would order ahead so I am not waiting there for 25 min.

    Food- we got the extra hot and regular hot. I think the hot was better in the sense it had more flavor. The extra hot just tasted like chili seasoning but was still good. Get extra sauce to drown your sandwich in because they don't really put a lot of sauce. Service: super sweet and helpful! Ambiance: not much, it's a good truck! They have some seating but I just ordered it to go :)

    Handsome Dan's lives up to it's namesake bait shop title!! It's that truly great, midwestern feel…read moresandwich shop that you get before your day on the boat, the kind that keeps you going all day, and keeps you coming back for more! After saying "we need to go there" at least 30 times, we finally went there and boyyy howdy it did not disappoint! The Cuban and club were 10/10 perfect! The bread was so fresh, crispy where it needed to be, and buttery in all the right places. It was a perfectly balanced sandwich ratio, not too thick, not too thin, and came with chips or potato salad. The in-house beer is great, and there's something for anyone's tastes, plus non alcoholic options. We sat outside with our pups on the dog friendly patio, which is fully covered and shaded, with tons of great seating options. I recommend going into the shop and seeing every thing they have to offer that isn't listed on the menu, plus the GREAT beer tap and can selections they have in store!

    Handsome Dans was on our list because of all the online and social media hype. It's tucked away in…read morethe back next to Stargazer in a brewery/ warehouse off Springdale and Airport area. The parking is shared and gets packed in the evening or you have to pay to park if you are unable to find anything in the lot or on the street. Handsome Dans has a sign directing you to the back where they are located. The vibe is true to a bait shop/diner it's casual with a rustic feel, they have a large covered patio adjacent to Stargazer bar. I highly suggest sitting outside if possible because the inside does get a bit claustrophobic and smokey when it's packed and they are smashing paninis on the press with no proper kitchen overhead vents. The type of greasy smoke you get when you are making super buttery sandwiches on a hot press. The sandwiches are ok but not something I would go out of my way to have ,our kids liked the hotdogs and Frito pies which were also kind of "upper class" gas station quality. Most of the stuff here is food that probably tastes way better after drinking several beers. It's like any normal sandwich you could make at home and toss in a panini press to be honest. Really good beers on tap and friendly staff who seemed to disappear to the back quite a bit and came back confused. They didn't know if they had already given me my food because I was ordering and paying for extra food after more people in our party arrived. They literally saw my food I already had on the table from my previous order and thought they gave me double of what I ordered hahaha. I can't make a judgment because I have no clue what they kept dispersing to the back for but can just say the confusion was real, LOL. All together if I had to come back it be because someone I knew wanted to try it. Otherwise for me it's a one and done. I got the pictures I stood next to a sign ,I had the Signiture sandwiches, now I'm moving on. I can say I've been there done that. I'm guessing that a college crowd or just being a single person who just wants to be amongst people that this is the type of lowkey place to go if you're not into the typical Longhorn hangouts. You stop in ,have some beers, eat a low budget ingredient expensive panini sandwich and chill till you have to call yourself a Waymo cause the beer is good and strong.

    This unassuming Soup Peddler location is tucked away in a strip mall on Airport, next to the…read moreOmelettry. Plenty of parking. The setup seems to be similar to other soup peddlers with seating: metallic tabletops that always seem to be clean, dedicated recycling and composting bins, a high countertop divider, with an ordering kiosk near the front, and some coolers and fridges, as well as a heating rack to keep pickup orders warm. Kitchen and smoothie room in the back. The staff running this place are quite nice. The choice of artwork adorning the walls appears to be different from other Soup Peddlers. What's good about Soup Peddler? Despite their name, I prefer their smoothies over their soups. Their soups are prepared offsite and delivered in the morning to all Soup Peddler locations. Thus, no location is aware or can predict what will be on their menu for soup specials each day through the week. However, other than their daily specials, they usually have a set soup menu. Their soups are served in a paper cup, and you can get crackers and oyster crackers with them. They also offer grilled cheese sandwiches. Those sandwiches are, well, pretty small and simple. I've had their Apple-Muenster Grilled Cheese, no complaints. Don't expect to be filled up on that though. Again, smoothies are where it's at. They offer monthly smoothie specials, discounted daily smoothie specials, and staff favorite creations. Of course, you can always create and customize your own. I tend to get their matcha, turmeric, or banana and nut based smoothies. Any sweetness is obtained from their fruits used, but sometimes date syrup is used as an ingredient. Anyways, smoothies are yum, and that's why I keep coming back.

    From smoked pastrami to smoked bologna, I can't say enough good things about their meat selection…read more The pastrami and brisket had differing but great flavors that make it easy to order both even though they're the same cut. Both were well smoked, had the fat Smokey and rendered down, and was tender without falling apart. Their smoked sausage selection was also fantastic. I was blown away by the jalapeño cheddar sausage because most places I've been to have that cheese and jalapeño in chunks but not here. It was rendered into the sausage without changing the texture and mixed in perfectly. Their smoked bologna was also something unique to me as I wouldn't normally order it but boy was it good. Less salty than the commercialized stuff and significantly better bologna flavor. Their ribs seem to be brined with something sweet because even without sauce, it was sweet, tender, post oakey and with their own flavors that make it a must have. The last thing I got there to share with friends was the TX cheesesteak made with brisket. Not too salty, super savory and when you add their hot sauce to it, it created a perfect balance. They also have some fantastic collard greens that are cooked with pastrami and/or brisket depending on their offerings. Because they're also a deli, they have some in house pickled vegetables that are a nice contrast to their meats. Their potato salad was good but didn't really stick out. Last but not least, their baked beans were not my cup of tea but my friends liked the flavor but wished the beans were a little softer. Finally, don't skimp out on their deserts. We had their browned butter chess pie and boy was it worth it. It was buttery, almondy and silky. My friend also got their cheesecake and said great things about it. Their service and ambiance was quite nice there. Their manager met up with us and even though we gave him some trouble about not having ribs yet, he got those out to us when he said he could and also told us about the history of the restaurant. Super friendly and allowed us to have a great time there. Plenty of seating but I'd recommend getting there early if you have a group. All in all, great varied offerings from meats to sandwiches to deserts. Go check them out!

We had originally…read moreplanned to try Terry Black's Barbecue after hearing all the hype and Food Network mentions, but the wait was over two hours, so we passed. Since we drove from San Antonio to Austin mainly for BBQ, we looked up other spots and landed on Mum Foods Smokehouse & Delicatessen. I called ahead and was told there was no line, so we made the 20 minute drive thinking it would be worth it. We ordered a two meat combo with two sides to share since we had dinner plans later. From experience, BBQ spots usually give generous portions, so we figured this would be more than enough. That was not the case here. We were served one slice of brisket and one single baby back rib. That was the entire "two meat" portion. The rib was very small, barely any meat on it. It honestly felt like something off a kids plate. We added bread when asked, which ended up being basic thick white sandwich bread. The sides were mid and came in what felt like half cup servings. Both the potato salad and coleslaw were just average and nothing we would go back for. For about $40, the portion size was shocking. It felt like we got shortchanged and not even close to the Texas BBQ experience we were hoping for. The setup also felt more cafeteria style, limited drink options, no chicken or beef ribs, and parking was difficult. The area itself felt a bit rough as well. We left still hungry and honestly confused. Not sure if we ordered wrong or if that's just how they serve, but it definitely didn't match expectations.
