At this point I've tried most of their different offerings & I can't say that I've had a bad lunch experience. And their kitchen staff: you can watch them from the order counter & they move with such precision. Like a well-oiled machine! It may have a "blue-collar" atmosphere & it may be located in an industrial neighborhood, but don't skip on Bella Donna! Imo, they're one of the best kept secrets of the E. Ben White side of Austin!

Let me just tell yall, I've had my fair share of sandwich's, hoagies, subs, heros. This place takes…read morethe cake point blank period. My friend and I stopped in for lunch after a 3 hour morning walk, we were starved, we were tired, and this place looked good from other reviews. We hopped on over and were greeted by who I assume to be the owner, incredible man, very knowledgeable, accommodating, and excited to make a sandwich for us. We ordered the super Italian, chips and a soda. We split the foot long. The sub was stuffed with meat and cheese, not too much in the way of filler toppings. Meat and cheese and the works. This sandwich was so big, like huge. Incredible portion for a great price, worth every penny. I live in San Antonio, and I do plan on making a journey back here to show my friends how awesome Bella Donna subs is. On top of all of this, he has unique artwork displayed and the bathrooms are very peaceful. Definitely a place to come back to. If I get married at some point, I will be asking them to cater.

I wouldn't eat here again…read more I had high expectations with the good Yelp reviews. We ordered the ribs and the chicken quarter (which was more like a Cornish hen quarter because it was so small) The burnt end black eyed peas were we very spicy, which I like, but it was not noted and they were salty. We threw them away. I was not impressed and $7 for the chicken (see pic) is a crime when it's that tiny.

Stopped by Distant Relatives at Meanwhile Brewing after the Bikes and Beers race, and it was a…read moregreat find. I completed my first 15 mile bike race so I was hungry. I ordered the pork ribs with black eyed peas and burnt ends, and everything was packed with flavor. The ribs were tender and well seasoned, about three in my order, and came with a tangy sauce , grilled toast plus pickled tomatoes and onions that were downright addictive. The Black Eyed Peas were bold and spicy, with chunks of smoky burnt ends mixed in. Definitely not shy on seasoning. They serve everything on compostable plates which I really appreciate. The staff was friendly and knew their stuff. They mentioned the menu rotates often, so what's on today might not be there next time. Small batch, small menu, but worth it. The truck was set up at the brewery, so there's plenty of seating--inside, shaded, or in the sun--and drinks come from the brewery itself. Only reason I took off a star was the limited options, but overall, the food was fantastic. I'd absolutely come back to try more from their menu.

The butter they use is clarified with herbs and just takes the flavor to a whole other level. I mean it's insane to me how good that sandwich was. They've got a small interior seating area and that part kinda reminds me of France. Small outdoor patio as well. Service was beyond crazy good too. The two guys working were the nicest people we've met in a long time. Genuinely nice. We had great and fun convo with them. I mean heck, two of my pics speak volumes to that. A+.

That consistency is what really keeps me coming back. You know exactly what you're getting, and it always delivers. Austin has no shortage of food trucks, but this one definitely stands out if you're craving a solid sandwich that actually lives up to the hype.

We seriously love Diana for her recommendation got the knuckle and the veggies. Knuckles was perfect lettuce and perfect meat ratio. Not too much lettuce and very generous with meat. The cheese crisps was so so so so good and just made the perfect crunch. The veggie though was so so amazing I have never had such an amazing artichoke sandwhich it was so good. If your taking it to GO and eating later let them know and they will pack the soggy stuff separately. Once again we are in love with this sandwhich and its definetly a must ever time in Austin. Thank you Diana and team for the best sandwhich ever !

Parking isn't terrible, which is always a plus for the area, and it's a great place to meet up with friends or just hang for a while. The drinks are affordable, the staff is super friendly, and the food hits the spot. I'm a fan of their hot dogs in particular. It's also a great place to play some pool, which adds to that casual, hangout vibe. They've got a jukebox too, although I'll admit I've been a little scared to touch it... not sure I'm ready to be judged for my music choices. There's a small patio area, but it's pretty compact, so it can fill up quickly. Inside, they've got two gender neutral restrooms covered in stickers and, interestingly, no mirrors. It all adds to the charm in its own way.

I didn't think it was too sweet or anything. The food was also pretty good. My favorite was the chopped cheese, and the pretzels were good too. I thought the potato wedge fries were just okay and one of them I ate had a weird chemically taste to it. The wings are also pretty decent. I'd definitely come back to get another chopped cheese.

We experienced them when they were at The Yard after hearing and seeing some of their incredible photos on IG and boy oh boy these boys didn't disappoint! From their super friendly service to the freshness of their food, get ready to take your taste buds on a journey! We tried a mix of their staples and specials -- from the crispy, charred Brussels sprouts to their fresh, flavor-packed salad, the crispy juicy chicken cutlet sandwich and the star of the show, the Woodneck falafel sandwich that completely won us over (and that's saying something coming from two meat lovers). Everything tastes as good as it looks. You can tell they're passionate about what they do -- everything feels intentional, from the seasoning to the sourcing. They even use freshly harvested veggies from their own garden when in season, which makes the food taste that much better. We haven't been to their new location at The Dainty Armadillo YET, but we already know it's going to be just as epic. Woodneck is one of those rare spots that truly cares about quality, freshness, and creativity which you can taste in every bite! If you haven't checked them out yet, do yourself a favor -- go hungry and prepare to be impressed!

When they tell you the $5 basket of well-seasoned fries is enough for two people, listen to them. This was definitely a case of "eyes bigger than stomach". I ate maybe six fries from my basket while my boyfriend put a substantial dent in his. I had the cheeseburger on a sub roll and ate the whole darn thing! In all honesty, we should have shared a basket of fries and the burger. The beef was seasoned and cooked to perfection allowing all of the burger toppings to converge together in my mouth for a flavor explosion. Boyfriend had the falafel sandwich; double patty. Took a bite (of course) and boom...goodness! I'm still so full, now that I'm home I can't move. I'm done.

The first time I came the line for lunch was long and took a little while to get our food about 30mins. This second time I came in we were able to walk right in and order our food! The cashier was friendly and quick. For my vegetarians this place has food that is healthy, vegetables heavy AND DOESN'T lack flavor. Another cool thing about the restaurant is that the menu rotates due to the utilization of local grown foods in the area.
