    Get all the Community Vegan you know and love, now with a new name and location, serving up their signature soul food in Tarrytown, out of the former Beer Plant space. I can't think of a more fitting revival for the restaurant, soon to be restored to its former glory, and then some. The fried oyster mushrooms are inimitable; resoundingly crunchy, thoroughly seasoned, and utterly satisfying across the board. Grab "The Summit" to get the best of all worlds, adding smoky collard greens, some of Austin's best mac and cheese, sweet and moist cornbread, and a handful of French fries for good measure. If you're still inexplicably hungry, snag some Golden Chick'n Sliders which deliver on a simple combination of fried lion's maine mushrooms on buttery brioche buns. There's three in an order so you could theoretically share... Only theoretically

    PEACH COBBLER CHICK'N & BISCUIT

    Omg this place is heaven!!! So much turnover has happened in this spot, but I hope Community Kitchen is here to stay! Their menu is enormous! I came for brunch this time but definitely want to go back to try their regular menu. The Southern Fried Chik'N biscuit I ordered was insanely good and massive. My friend got the peach cobbler chik'n biscuit and it was gorgeous! Portions are humongous. Food came out pretty fast and service was great. Cannot wait to return!

    I'm pretty new to Austin but it sounds like this place used to be a food truck that was busy/popular enough to open into a brick and mortar! I heard about it through a vegan Facebook group. I immediately had to go try it out when I looked at the menu. I ordered The Switchback and everything was so good I almost cried. The food also came out super fast, which was nice too! The food was so good, I actually went back a few days later and brought some friends. Unfortunately my food wasn't nearly as good the second time. I got the bbq sliders, and they came out cold and with very little filling. I probably wouldn't recommend those. Everything else was good though, especially the fried okra I got on the side! The restaurant itself is also really nice and cozy. I'll definitely be back, and really want to try their brunch menu too!

    Went there for a Friday lunch and enjoyed everything we ate. They are accommodating for gluten-free diets. The chef came out and visited with us for a bit. Love his energy and this place! I had the "summit plate" made almost gluten free with braised cabbage (a super delicious smoky side which was not listed on the menu at the time) substituted for the mac & cheese. Also substituted the mashed potatoes and gravy for the cornbread. The gravy is not gluten-free.

    BURNT ENDS & MAC

    WOW!!! I was so surprised to find that Community Vegan moved from their food truck in the east side to Tarrytown! Which is great for me because it's easier to get to! Right now they're soft opened and doing pickup & delivery only, I can't wait until they fully open! The new location is very easy to do pickup from. The food is crazy DELICIOUS - everyhing we got. Even my picky toddler devoured the dime bag pieces and burnt ends Mac & cheese! We will be back!

    Love coming here and supporting black owned businesses. They're always so sweet and the food always made to order so super fresh when you get it. I got the lemon pepper "wangz" and they're made from oyster mushrooms. An up and coming vegan staple and it was delish and crunchy. They have these bar stools and a high bar to sit at. Parking nearby is the street if you're lucky and the dental office lot that's next door (you pay for parking but I never have so shhh). Overall a great joint and can't wait to try something else. My mind is on the "too-nah" sandwich for next time. :)

    I am trying to eat better these days so I wanted to see what the buzz was about. This food truck is located on the corner of 11th street, it's nice and colorful so you can't miss it. Unfortunately, there is street parking. I was able to luck up on a spot not too far away. I ordered the Lemon Pepper Wangz. This included Fried oyster mushrooms, with lemon pepper flavoring & seasoned fries. These "wangz" were so good! I never would have guessed that it wasn't chicken. I probably could've went with a softer fry but overall it was delicious. They offer a variety of vegan meals including nachos, sandwiches, burgers, banana pudding, and even sea moss. They also offer brunch on the weekends which I plan to make it to soon. Even if you're not vegan, Im sure you'll be satified with anything on the menu.

    The fried okra was delicious. I'll be dreaming of it for years... Only wish I showed up on a Friday so I could try that mac and cheese!

    Delicious vegan barbecue!
    Ximena S.

    I'm coming to find this place with my family! We were treated to bbq at work and the non-meat choice was from this vendor. Let me tell you, the food was not only delicious but beautiful to look at! Presentation is a big deal for me when it comes to dishes and Community Vegan didn't disappoint. The people I talked to were kind and explained the ingredients in the dishes with pride!

    Really cool spot in a food truck area with lots of picnic tables outside the truck. I ordered the Crispy BEER BATTERED CAULI CHIKN SANDWICH with WAFFLE FRIES, and it was pretty greasy (that's the only qualm I had was how it was still dripping oil from the grease), but SO delicious! It was literally a huge piece of cauliflower battered & seasoned and then fried. It was so good- I think about it almost everyday of my life since I had it, and if I end up moving to Austin, this will be my monthly meal. The waffle fries were the best waffle fries I've ever had in my life. They were so crispy (which is how I like all my food) and so delicious- no ketchup needed! Will return again, and I highly recommend everyone experiencing this delicious food.

    First of all, love the hip vegan vibes of this truck. A painted bus, hot dope. Got the Lemon Pepper Wangz Basket. Kind of pricey for the amount of food that you get, but still yummy. The Fried Oyster Mushrooms were crispy and so flavorful, definitely get them dirty. Paired it with the cajun dipping sauce which balanced out the fried taste. The fries were also so yummy. Crispy and also rolled in flavor :)

    Is the breading for fried items made with wheat flour? I would presume so. Just curious.

    Is there free parking?

    Yep, but you might need to drive around a bit depending on how busy it is.

    Fantastic breakfast and an even better server!…read more We had an absolutely great experience at Phoebe's Diner Downtown. Our server, Halley, deserves HUGE praise. She was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and made the whole experience that much better. Everyone we encountered was genuinely friendly and happy to be there. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. I had the Badass Bacon & Eggs ($14.99) and it was outstanding. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the hash brown casserole was fantastic -- but the bacon was over the top! Thick, flavorful, and seriously some of the best bacon I've had at a diner. You have to try it! We also had the Migas ($15.99) -- fluffy eggs with onion, tomato, Hatch chiles, Hatch chile hollandaise, cotija, crispy masa cakes and red potatoes. Tons of flavor and another winner. And don't skip the coffee! Phoebe's serves locally roasted Texas Coffee Traders coffee, and it was excellent. Everything about our visit was great -- the food, the coffee, the atmosphere, and especially the friendly service. Halley was fantastic!

We somehow snagged nearby street parking and a table for two with no wait despite it being a busy Saturday evening after a UT football game. Make a reservation if you have a large party or are on a tighter schedule. It's a bit loud for those seated in the lobby/entrance area, but totes a vibe. For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

We arrived and in a few minutes we were seated at a table and immediately given water in mason jars and asked for our drink order. I opted just got an Arnold Palmer but the drink menu had some cute cocktails and mocktails, as well as a nice selection of beer and wine. Instead of bread, our server brought us a basket of seasoned popcorn. The popcorn had almost like a Cajun flair, but it wasn't spicy. It reminded me of the Ground Round chain from when I was a little girl. We decided to try the corndog shrimp appetizer. I couldn't decide on an entree because everything looked so good, so I did the Parmesan chicken and my coworker did the steak salad. The shrimp arrived so quickly with four large pieces of shrimp on a stick wrapped in corn dog batter and fried to a golden brown, with a blueberry mustard dipping sauce. The shrimp were delicious and while I didn't get much of the blueberry in the mustard, I enjoyed the sweetness it provided. My Parmesan chicken was a crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet with a lemon cream, artichoke hearts, and what appeared to be prosciutto on top. It was served with a side of pesto couscous with grape tomatoes and cucumbers. I wish I had ordered mashed potatoes on the side, because I wanted something to soak up the lemon cream sauce, which was the highlight of the chicken. We also were served 3 mini cornbread muffins with honey butter. My coworker said the salad was just okay, and was a little on the small side. The desserts were definitely a MUST and if you visit Moonshine and don't save room for the Espresso Brownie or the Peanut Butter Pie, you're going to regret it. The brownie was so fudgey and warm and served with ice cream. It was decadent. The peanut butter pie was the biggest slab of PB pie I've ever had with a thick Oreo crust. I wish I had someone with me to share it, it was huge. Overall, if I lived in the area I would definitely be back to try other things.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. My daughter and I both ordered the chicken fried chicken, and she substituted the collard greens for mac and cheese. The sausage gravy served with the chicken fried chicken was a little unexpected, but I actually enjoyed the subtle kick of spice it had. The collard greens weren't for me, but that's more of a personal preference since I've never been a fan. The mac and cheese, however, felt like it was missing something. Maybe it was the blend of cheeses, but it wasn't the classic, ooey-gooey diner-style mac and cheese we were hoping for. My brother ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles had a fermented aroma and tangy flavor that caught us off guard. After speaking with the manager, she explained that they're made with a sourdough batter. While that may appeal to some people, it just wasn't his favorite. Overall, we had a good experience thanks to the outstanding service and welcoming atmosphere. The food simply didn't match our personal tastes. That said, the restaurant was absolutely packed, so they're clearly doing something right. I would still recommend giving 24 Diner a try because everyone's palate is different, and their unique flavors may be exactly what you're looking for.

The eggs were cooked over well, way over well. Ok. Things happen. The hash was not fresh at all. Really quite soggy. Ok, so guessing it may have been cooked a day or two prior to ordering. Not well prepared, but not the end of the world, right? Here's the thing: there was an unmistakable flavor of rubber and/or plastic. This was the predominant flavor. I simply couldn't eat it. Maybe a wrapper or some other foreign item was inadvertently added. The small dish of watermelon, strawberry and pineapple was ok. This, with tip, was $65.00 just had water to drink. Wonder if they used to be good and have just fallen off, but IMHO not worth it at all.
