What impressed me the most was the way they were able to accommodate both a keto and vegetarian diet. The Keto fried chicken sandwich is better than stuff I've made at home. Baklava Cheesecake (Not Keto) was delicious mix of flavors.
The baklava cheesecake was my favorite dessert I've ever had... crumbly, soft, delicious. This place gets better every time.
Ordered from here using grub hub through Yelp and it was really Good and everything was Keto friendly. The food came fast and on time as quoted and was hot and fresh and well-packaged. I'm not sure how they're able to make the tres leches both delicious and keto friendly, but I heard they use monk fruit sugar (highly recommend for use in the kitchen when you want to sweeten without added carbs). I still can't figure out how the cake part is so good or how they manage to get a decent consistency on the icing, but their dedication to quality shows in the food they put out. The fried chicken was moist inside and crispy outside with a blend of herbs that gave the chicken a wonderful flavor. The cherry tomatoes and ricotta aren't something I'd typically pair with my fried chicken but they definitely knew what they were doing because I found myself wanting to get a little bit of each in every bite. Would love to dine on location next time so I can't speak to the ambiance of the place but I definitely enjoyed what I ate and will order from them again in the future. FTK all day!
First time coming to this food truck, and I can say that I will be coming back! The fried chicken was delicious and the veggies complimented it perfectly. The ricotta cheese and sauce pulled the dish together. The pork shoulder was also delicious! Service was quick as I was the only one waiting!
Former chef of Emmer Rye co-opens an all keto food truck. Aka Keto Bros.It's essentially fine dining in casual takeaway boxes. So far, the best keto option I've stumbled upon given the cooks are pro trained (obviously) knowing the right blends and techniques to make the food as if it's not a keto diet at all. Chicken Liver Butternut Squash salad was creamy and nicely sweetened by the squash. Broken up by the spicy arugula. It wasn't offensive but it also wasn't so creamed down that you don't recognize that it's liver. Fried Chicken was moist and tender on the inside with a dusty batter on the outside made with parmesan, chicharones with a blend of five spice. Reminds me of Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken with bursting all red cherry tomatoes in a cream sauce Tres Leches was made with a keto flour that strategically soaked up the milk beautifully. Could drink it all. Made with monk fruit.
We didn't expect to be blown away by keto food from a freakin food truck, but boy did we get our minds blown by how goooood the food is? U betcha! This is what you get when one of the owners used to work for Intero, Eberly and Emmer & Rye. Right when the plated dishes came out, I said out loud, "I see Eberly, Emmer & Rye and Intero plating" and immediately dug in (after taking pictures, of course!) Their meat supplier is the same as Jeffrey's and Josephine's restaurants that should be enough to convince you - the quality is legit! We had: Filet mignon - rutabaga, caramelized onions, bacon, oyster mushrooms, glazed carrots and arugala Pork belly lettuce wraps with kimchi Chicken liver mousse with butternut squash, cranberries, goat cheese, chicken skin granola (read that again) and arugala The zab - green beans, broccoli, lamuse gouda, picked beets and cauli, plus (added new york strip) Pork shoulder with chimichurri with brussel sprouts, mushroom and cheese purée Chocolate pudding, tres leches, tiramisu and house-made kombucha Don't wait too long to visit them, it's really very very good!
I got the vegan zab and the lions Maine steak. Both were to die for! Great location and awesome staff. They have a projector and are normally playing something cool. I really appreciate the friendly nature of the staff. They literally added another vegan option because my roommate and I loved the food so much. It's a great location and the food is always fresh. I can't wait to come back to this hidden vegan gem! Ps. You can't miss the fire pit when it gets a bit cooler out.
I really wanted to love this! I was really impressed with the presentation and the style and dish reminded me of gourmet/fine dining meals I love to go to - especially surprising knowing it came from a food truck! That said, my order was incredibly over salted, to the point I was unable to finish it. Had it not been for that, I think I would have really enjoyed it. Hopefully it was a one-off and if I ever try it again and have a different experience, I will update this review.
This food truck is one of those places where you didn't think anything worth it would be coming out of it if you passed by, but you would be very wrong. It seems that they are still a bit experimental with their menu, but the flavor and presentation is absolutely there. I ordered for 4, and although the menu UX was a bit difficult to traverse and there were certain things out of stock, I was happy with everything I tried. The prices definitely gave you bang for your buck. First, the chicken curry is the #1 thing you should try. They added rice in my curry which made it feel really substantial. Although a bit salty, the flavor was the best out of everything I had. I highly recommend everyone trying this one out first. You won't regret it. Their bbq beef sandwich was on sale and it tasted much more expensive than they were selling it for. I had a few bites and it was nice and sweet with good umami, but I had to save it for later. Their chicken wings were difficult to order because of their UI, but they were both affordable and pretty good! Their ranch has a Greek yogurt like texture, which I didn't prefer but the taste was good. However, I would still recommend the chicken curry over this. Because we had picked up food way too late (we are sorry!!!), I can't give a proper opinion on the fried chicken since the fried texture and temperature was compromised. We had to substitute an OOS item for this, so I would love to try the pork belly and biscuits next. This place is open late night in a somewhat sketchy looking place with whimsical team members. They even threw in free desserts even though we were so late picking up. They're the type of people you'd want to order from after a night out and won't regret. Fun, yummy, and affordable. Really all I can ask for from a food truck. If you're taking away anything from this review, just make sure you're trying the chicken curry if you come by!
This was by far my favorite meal on my trip to Austin. I saw a review saying it was the best and I agree. This is high-quality fresh, sophisticated food. I also love the irony of it being behind the Texaco. The vibe though is great, there are some picnic tables, string lights, and the guys making the food in the truck are enthusiastic and happy to help you choose from a list where everything looks good. We had the "steak and zab" and cabbage special appetizer which included queso and bacon? and fresh herbs. Anyway, I've been daydreaming about that appetizer for a week now. My friend who ordered the chicken sandwich also said "whoa, this is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had." That's pretty epic. We bought some beers down the street and ate like queens. Will come back soon!
Stumbled upon this place and was dumbfounded to find out it was a food truck after seeing photos of the food they were churning out. Decided to give it a whirl on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised when, after we ordered, the estimated pick up time was only 20 minutes later. Both of the gentlemen were super friendly and had the food ready as soon as I arrived (which I feel almost never happens at food trucks). Got the food home and WOW. Each dish was plated up nicely, with a clear knack for presentation. We started with the butternut squash with chicken liver mousse. The mousse was delightfully whipped and the squash, goat cheese & cranberries provided a great medley of textures & flavors. Next up was the perfectly seared steak. The chimichurri was absolutely lights out and the perfect accompaniment. Pairing with the steak were some delicious potatoes and a medley of vegetables, both cooked well & tasty. The encore was the chicken curry. Tender stewed chicken danced in the flavor packed curry and it was yet another home run. Cannot recommend this place enough. The best take out we have had in years (and we had a lot, like others, during Covid). A MUST GO!!!
Holy Moly! Ryan and Ryan are both amazing Chefs! Super down to earth, and stoked to be Chefs! You can tell this is their passion! If you want truly amazing fine dining food, but are on a budget go ASAP to their food truck!!! I would actually recommend running their to eat their food because I feel like they will be getting a proper restaurant very soon, and then they won't be in the budget friendly realm of fine dinning! I am going back tomorrow to eat more food and try more things!!! Come join me!!!! Bring, friends, family, dogs, cats, birds ! Bring whomever, and enjoy the good food and positive vibes at Ryan and Ryan's food truck!!!
This food truck is in a slightly odd location - a large parking lot by St. Elmo's - but definitely worth visiting. It has well priced delicious and inventive meals that are keto and incorporate organic ingredients. I almost want to keep this one to myself, it's so good!
Fry Let me tell you about FTG. The little food truck in the back of a sweet-ass dive bar called Mama Dearest. Do you wanna know about the dive bar? You'll have to check out my other review. But just know it's filled with weird taxidermy and novelty items that are one of a kind. But I digress. Back to the food. I would like to tell you I tried everything on the menu as many times as I came here. But alas, only four or five things. Unfortunately, their pierogies are the best thing I've ever had. Not just in Austin, but ever. I am now desperately seeking pierogies that rival FTG's. It's not just the pierogies themselves... but the sauce, it would make angels sing. Every time I tried something new, my heart would long for the pierogies. I finally gave in to my desires and quit trying other new things. I think next time I go back I'm just going to ask strangers if I can have a bite of their food, so I can say I've tried everything. But until then, this review is for what I have tried. After the pierogies. My next favorite things in order. Fried chicken (perfectly crisp bites), jerk chicken (little spicy, not dry, perfect), chilli (so spicy), gnocchi. The cheesecake would technically rank after the pierogies, but because they're a dessert I don't wanna mess up the order here and confuse y'all. The two dudes that work this truck, are here EVERY time. I'm pretty sure the only days they take off is Mondays and Tuesdays. Tell them the girl from Kansas City with a big dog sent to you. Lastly. Know that you won't find this place overrun with college kids or snotty hipsters. Just regular people enjoying a good dive bar. read more

Rating: 2.7/5 [Postmates delivery] We were so excited to try FTG's food, especially given its high Yelp rating. Unfortunately, it ended up being extremely disappointing. The meats were unforgivably dry, though everything else was good. Steak & Zab ($22): The zab, a mix of green beans, mushrooms, and broccoli tossed in salsa macha with sabayon, was actually enjoyable. I liked the flavors, but it was a bit too creamy/saucy for my husband (likely due to the sabayon). The steak, however, was dry and very chewy. Asian Style Spare Ribs ($17): This came with a 1/3 rack of spare ribs, a Thai cabbage salad, and five-spice fried potatoes. The potatoes were fire, and the salad was solid. But again, the meat missed the mark--super dry for the most part. We tried dipping it in the sabayon and other sauces to add moisture, but it didn't help. The fish sauce glaze didn't come through either. The only redeeming quality was the generous portion size. read more

The owner(s) are friendly and make THE best food, what a blessing for someone on a keto diet!! I want to see these people succeed, they deserve it. Everything I've tried on the menu has been so great. Fries chicken, steak, and pork shoulder all fan- freaking- tastic. Their samosas are a real treat! You can get it to go OR sit outside at the picnic table and people watch. I'll be coming for sure. read more

When you're visiting Austin for a quick weekend, it's not recommended to eat at the same place twice... but when the food & hospitality is as great as FTG was on a June Friday evening, you go back and order twice as much as the first visit. Unique dishes I cannot compare to anything else I've eaten... just good. I'll do my best to try another great Austin place with my few remaining meals this weekend, but I'd be lying if FTG wasn't calling me back for a cold Lone Star & more delicious, creative dishes. Cheers! read more

I arrived late in to Austin for a quick work trip, but couldn't pass up an opportunity to try a new place. I found FTG on yelp, it was open late, and was on the way to my hotel. Easy to find, right behind a Texaco. I was the only one there around 1030p on a Thursday night, though a few people came to grab take out orders while I was waiting on my food. I got the fried chicken and the tres leches. OH MY GOSH. From the first bite I knew I had made the right decision... the flavors were unreal. The ricotta was the perfect compliment to the chicken and I don't know what they did to the zucchini to give it the flavors it had, but I'd eat an entire plate of just the zucchini. I wasn't even hungry when I took a bite of the tres leche and had intended to just have a taste.... Nope. I ate the whole thing. Even drank the leftover sauce. It was that good. No regrets. I'll be back on my next trip to try more. read more
