Bussin' Fries and Bussin' Mac
YuShan M.

We tried bussin fries and bussin Mac. The tender is crispy and solid 10/10, love that they offer no spice option so my husband can enjoy too. I personally prefer fries and finds their mac pretty basic. I would rec bussin fries but skip the mac. Would come back to try their sandwich next time.

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
Naomi S.

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.

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.

2. Single Bun

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.

Bussin single with fries
Rachael L.

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.

Rubber chicken sandwich. Could not eat.

Takes a while for them to prepare the food but it is so worth it. Chicken is so juicy. I'd recommend the loaded fries.

Parish BBQ is officially on my Top 3 most recommended barbecue places in Austin! The creole/cajun…read moreflavors are so unique and such an excellent twist to break away from the mundanity of "just another BBQ spot." The Food I Got/What You Should Get: - Pulled Duck: MUST TRY! The pulled duck was an absolute showstopper. It was incredibly moist and tender that it basically melted like butter when I ate it. And with the chicharrón, it was absolutely excellent. I actually cried. Don't judge me but I literally cried. - Sliced Brisket: Your run of the mill brisket with both moist and dry portions. Not a standout by any means but still great. - Pimento Mac and Cheese: MUST TRY! My favorite side and one that I am now recommending to anyone that will let me tap about it. The creaminess of the cheese sauce was perfectly balanced with an explosion of robust creole flavors. I actually think it might be the best in the city. - Cream Corn Maque Choux: A nice soulful blend of that creole based seasoning that is a nice answer/touch away from terry blacks sweet cream corn. Highly recommend. Other Things to Know - They have two sauces that you can try. I recommend their tabasco vinegar red sauce which they say they make with a strawberry purée. The creole mustard is good but the red sauce is so unique and flavorful. - The pickles are also a really surprising stand out as well. If you are a pickle lover, you will absolutely adore these. Service/Experince - Parish runs a food truck that runs outside of Austin Beerworks back area. - Something to consider is that it did not have an awning when we first came here and during the Austin summer that was a big deal. We could t stay outside for more than 4-5 minutes but luckily the buzzers they give you can reach the inside of the Beerworks. - The staff was extremely friendly and were willing to chat through all of the different ways they make their food, sauces and etc. I really appreciated their kindness as I talked their ear off about food in Austin haha. - The area where the trailer sits was under construction when we first went so it was a little dusty with construction signs everywhere, but that never deterred me from a good meal!! Overall: - This is a must try place to eat. Go get some BBQ and then go inside to get a beer from Austin Beerworks. What an incredible edition to the city!

parish is located in the back of austin beerworks…read more ended up doing the holy trinity which comes with 3/4 lbs of brisket, 3/4 lbs of ribs, and a sausage as well as 3 sides which we did the potato salad and 2 orders of mac n cheese. also got the boudin balls (star of the show) the brisket was quite dry to be honest. the ribs were stellar, fall off the bone and well seasoned as a standalone meat. the pimento mac n cheese was al dente and thick with their cheese sauce. i always appreciate the thoughtfulness of a place that includes bread crumbs on their mac n cheese. the boudin balls were amazing due to their addition of brisket!! it was so peppery and savory with a crust that wasn't too thick nor thin. the potato salad was standard, not super memorable. overall yummy and they were super nice !!

The birria special is a must get of course. The consomme is so delicious, (it kind of reminded me of pho) and the birria tacos were so good. They fill that thing all the way up! And the meat and cheese ratio is perfect. We also got the birria reuben. Also so good, it was a nice mix of tender meat and the sauerkraut with the golden buttery bread. Plus the fries were so addicting. Truly the crispiest fries I've ever had. The caramel churros were the perfect finish. So hot and fresh with the caramel inside. And it was surprisingly not too sweet. Only downside is that their seating area is literally one table in the hot sun, so I definitely see this as more of a takeout spot and you just eat at home.

They were packed to the brim with tasty meat and plenty of cheese! Super flavorful and satisfying. Solid portion for the price. The consomme was also quite good and came in a solid portion; not the most flavorful, but still quite good. 2 spicy sauces provided on the side, as well as option for lime and radishes. All in all, definitely recommend this spot! The food is very tasty; I would especially recommend the Quesabirria!

Been here a couple of times now and its reputation as one of the best in town is well earned!…read more All the meats are cooked to the standard you would hold a good Texas bbq place to. Combining that with the Egyptian spices makes for such a unique, delicious experience. I don't really see an argument against having them in the S tier of Austin bbq I've been pleasantly surprised at how short the lines generally are when I come. Even on weekends around lunchtime I don't think I've had more than a 20 minute wait. The lamb chops do tend to run out fairly quickly and I have had a few visits where some other items are out. If you're dead set on those coming closer to late morning is probably the move. The space is fantastic, given the volume of people visiting here doesn't go up dramatically. Theres plenty of tables, the brewery has solid beer options, and it's one of the few brewery type spaces in Austin that will consistently have games on. If they ever get the level of attention their quality deserves, this goes out the window. The line area does not have room for a franklins/interstellar type line. My guess is they'll eventually go the brick and mortar route. Overall I can't recommend this spot enough!

You have to. You just HAVE to. It's almost too good to be true…read more We showed up on Friday afternoon on my birthday. I was prepared to splurge, since it was my birthday, and I picked a Michelin rec. But I was immediately struck by how reasonably priced everything was. We went all in. We ordered brisket, sausage, lamb bacon ribs, the Egyptian Cowboy, hummus, and that special pink potato salad. The portions were great, even ordering the smallest serving sizes when given a choice. The food was fantastic. I really don't know what else to say. It absolutely deserves its incredible reputation, and it honestly might be the best bang for your buck in TX BBQ. The atmosphere is really cool too. They're stationed outside of Oddwood brewing and shares seating. The outdoor and indoor seating are both very nice. Oddwood also has some great retro arcade games. It makes for a great afternoon or evening out.

The hubs and I decided to split the Big Elvis donut with house made peanut butter icing, fresh grilled bananas, grilled bacon and honey). What is not to like about this combination of ingredients? This savory donut's base was Gourdough's (play on words) signature sourdough donut and then layered with each of the ingredients. The layering of ingredients and flavors created a 5-alarm palate explosion. The donut was delicious...better and better with each bite. Wow, wow, wow! Crunch...flavor...smokiness...crunch...flavor...smokiness! We have not had a donut quite like this one. Maria, our donut chef, boldly told us that it was going to be best donut we had ever eaten. Such a bold claim...however, Maria came with "receipts". Total donut nirvana... Gourdough's is in a food truck park with ample seating outside and a few of cushioned love seats. Superb experience...

Crazy novelty donuts!!…read more This place has over the top donuts that still taste good! Unlike some of the other Austin donut locations like VooDoo or The Salty, I feel like Gourdoughs is at the intersection between unique style and good taste. I enjoyed both, but def preferred the Naughty or Nice! I will say the Gummy snake on the baby rattler was a little dry. It is a food trailer, but they do have seating outside. They have Christmas lights which are very pretty, but I went at night in mid October so I wasn't facing the brutal Texas heat. They have really good hours, perfect for a late night snack. The workers were quick with our food. They call it out and you go pick it up from the trailer. I will say it looked mostly like paid parking, but we risked it & didn't pay as we were probably there for less than 30 minutes.
