Chicken Shawarma Over Rice (kinda had a few bites!)
Sharon B.

The food is Good Gawd Good! Y'all sleeping on this place. It's a whole vibe! Seating is so chill and peaceful. The staff is friendly and gets the job done quickly. Glad to have stopped by there!

Loaded fries!
Davidm A.

This place has all the good eats. I have to advise anyone going to come here to try the loaded fries. The portion size is huge. Some say quality over quantity. The loaded fries give you both. The service is amazing. The staff make sure you are well taken care of. The ask, how is everything going, how was your meal. Make sure you get your bang for your buck. It's a very casual small place. The only thing is. You might have a bit of trouble parking. But once you do. It is well worth the small Hassel of parking. You will highly enjoy. I will be back to take some beef loaded fries next.

Lamb over rice
Nicole S.

I've been going here foreverrrrr and am obsessed. Lamb over rice is the best comfort food. The portion is huge and the veggies are fresh. I think the pita is just ok. Love the hole in the wall vibe and fast service. Parking is a bit tight. They have a small patio, which I recommend for people watching.

Chicken Shawarma over Rice
Cecile B.

I had a chicken shawarma over rice -- I thought the rice was surprisingly good (light, fluffy, and seasoned), particularly when paired with the white sauce that was the star of the show. However, the single serving of white sauce (which I requested on the side) felt quite meager, and I'd definitely ask for extra next time. It would also have helped given that I found the chicken shawarma meat to be pretty dry. That said, this is probably one of the best halal cart style options in the area, and this was indeed a generous portion of food. I just wish they'd allow half/half on the meats (beyond the combo of gyros and chicken, which is different from the chicken shawarma).

Beef Shawarma over Rice
Chelsea L.

Came here sooo many times during college and finally got to revisit and take some people here for their first time! I love love love the gyro over rice-I have always gotten this and probably won't ever get anything else because this is so good. The portion itself is huge, you most likely will not be able to eat it all in one sitting. Sauces are great. I didn't order this, but still want to mention it...my friend got the beef, and it was not good. Beef was very tough and hard to chew. Very small parking lot in front.

Falafel over rice
Hannah K.

Let's cut to the chase here: It's fine. Prices are reasonable for a nice big container of food, but it's really just a giant plate of rice. You get a handful of salad a good scoop of hummus, seven falafel, and about a quart of dry yellow rice. The falafel are equally fine. Not really crispy on the outside, not really moist on the inside, adequately flavorful if not particularly memorable. Ask for it without white sauce to keep it vegan, and opt for BBQ sauce instead of just more hummus. You'll need something more to get through that vat of rice, so double up, too. Very acceptable. Highly adequate. Exceedingly average. You could do better, by you could also do worse.

Absolutely amazing food! The pictures don't do it justice but everything about the swarm chicken that I got, was amazing! White sauce (aka Taziki) was great too! If you like spicy. Definitely get the hot sauce to dip fries.

Chicken Kebab over Rice
Sierra S.

Oh my goodness! Delicious is an understatement! We were hangry for sure but this place was not only filling but everything we could ever ask for. Sizable portion and well worth. Together the meal was around $28 but could feed you for 2 meals

Combination over Rice
Carrie M.

Halal Bros is soooo good and so iconic among UT students, although I think it's fallen in popularity. I remember it used to be really crowded when I went in 2019, but now there are only a few people inside every time I go. I always get gyro over rice or a combination of gyro and chicken over rice. The gyro tastes better than the chicken. The white sauce and red sauce add a lot to the flavour. I like the loaded fries as well. I've seen the prices go up so much, which is quite sad. $14 gives you a lot of food, but it is still really highly priced. I've heard people say this is one of the worst parking lots in West Campus because it's really hard to get in and out of, so I would never try to park there.

Really good and large portions, only problem is it was very dry. I even ordered extra sauce for both and it wasn't near enough.

It's unbelievable, honestly I just need a plate of short rib and I'll be set. As you can see the salad is almost gone before I could even take a picture. It was honestly so good. It was some sort of coleslaw salad I didn't get the specific name for it. The pita was seasoned, which was really yummy. I will say out of the fresh fish options. I prefer the yellowtail that I got last time. It was definitely more flavorful. This tuna dish had a little bit of a bitterness to it. I'm assuming from the lettuce. The kebabs and the rice were so delicious. The rice had a lemony taste to it. The Ambiance was low lit, the weather just happened to be perfect as well, we sat on the outside patio. Their service was very quick and efficient as well. No complaints.

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.

Austin Restaurant Week takes place from August 28th through September 13th. First stop...Rollin Smoke BBQ, located in the Chalmers building, which filled with a crowd of people. I ordered a pull pork sandwich, mac-n-cheese and banana pudding. The pulled pork sandwich was huge, which I shared with the hubs. Quite honestly, I was full after eating 1/4 of the sandwich, which had cabbage, pickles and of course the pork (not the typical stringy pork but chunks of pork bursting with smokey flavor). The mac-n-cheese was substantial with cheese filled shell pasta with a hint of a smokey flavor. So yummy...Well, I might have eaten "all" the banana pudding. This was not your typical banana pudding (dense and flavorful). I certainly understand why they run out of this dessert. Service was superb! Great dining experience...

I order a very nice lite afternoon snack, 1/2 lb of Prime Pork Belly Burnt Ends, 1 Pork Sparerib, and a side of Boozy Brussels. The Prime Pork Belly Burnt Ends which are tossed in bourbon sauce and smoked again for a tender meat candy-like finish which was quite to the contrary, not overbearingly sweet, just a hint. The first time that I went to Rollin' Smoke, I wanted to order the Pork Spareribs but they weren't available so that's when I was introduced to the Pork Belly Burnt ends so today, I ordered just 1 Pork Sparerib today which was good but not great, sadly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Boozy Brussel Sprouts which were smoked and flashed fried, a balsamic glaze with whiskey soaked raisins and parmesan. I am definitely returning to check out the Half Chicken Plate with 2 small sides that I eyeballed.
