HOLY MOLY!! Awesome freaking burger. We were very impressed with Jabs and now wish there was one in San Antonio. Really good food. Fries were fresh and crispy. Awesome people. Would absolutely go back and try them again and again. If you haven't tried them - you must.

Jabs absolutely delivers. This burger was everything--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly stacked. The smashed patties had those crispy edges, layered with melty cheese and fresh toppings that all came together so well. The grilled jalapeños really took it to the next level--adding a smoky heat that balanced perfectly with the richness of the burger. Every bite was messy in the best way. This is a legit smash burger. Would 100% order this again.

OG Burger x2 with fries

Very easy to order. Food came out very fast. I got a double cheese burger and it was really really good. One of the best smash burgers I've had in awhile. Fries weren't anything crazy but burger was great! Will definitely be coming back

Classic

Rating: 4.3/5 [takeout] We tried Jabs a few months ago when it was still called Peace, Love, and Burgers, and while the food was fine, it wasn't anything special. The burger felt small for the price and didn't really fill me up, but maybe that's because I split the burger. I decided to give it another try on Halloween night, and it was so much better this time. I ordered the Sissy Burger ($9) with added lettuce ($0.50) and tomato ($0.50). The burger was delicious, juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. I finished the whole thing and was full for the rest of the night.

For a random place I just walked into off the street, this place was shockingly good. My burger was perfectly smashed, with a lot of crispy bits & perfectly melted cheese. It really hit the spot. The fries were pretty good as well. Service was pretty quick considering they were busy. You order off an iPad & then get a text when your food is ready. Lots of seating inside & out in this food court.

KO burger

If you've had a solid day or night out on Rainey and are hungry, Jabs really hits the spot. They have a digital kiosk where you order and food comes out quickly. I got the KO burger with fries and was extremely full. It's in the food truck park area with ample places to sit so it's pretty easily accessible.

OG Burger and seasoned fries
Justin S.

Great spot at Rainy Street. It's a food truck with picnic tables. We ordered the OG burger and seasoned fries. The burger was juicy and surprisingly excellent! The fries had an awesome seasoning on them. The service was quick. The price was $10 for the burger and $4 for fries. Typical Rainy Street/bar food prices. Located in a cool area. I'd order the burger and fries again.

The lady working the front was very attentive and helped us when needed (our first time here). Our food came out I would say in less than 20. The fries were AMAZING (love some good fries), and the burger was good but too greasy for me.

Don't forget the fries!

Classic with fries
Herbert H.

Jabs is the new name of this spot tucked in on Rainey St. Short menu burgers fries and drinks. I was greeted with friendly service, with outdoor seating in the shade. Super flavorful meat patties. Very juicy and not smashed paper thin. I've have plenty of smash burgers . Most of which had unflavored dry meat. A whole lot of lipstick and mascara. Jabs on the other hand checks all the good boxes. They have it down packed. No frills. Just a str8 up smash burger!! Fries were made fresh. Super crispy and well seasoned. When in the area. Please give it a go!

If a walking talking donut existed, you likely would not find it at Gourdough's food trailer…read more However, they do have some mutant large and incredibly creative sweet and savory donuts. 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.

For me, the Chilaquil is the clear winner. Crunchy and soft, spicy and cool, just a masterpiece of balance. It seemed like special occasion food. The Machaca was a savory taco. Seasoned well, it also stands up very well to the hot red sauce. Migas was hard for me to recommend because I like much more salt in my scrambled eggs than Austin's norm. The tacos were overstuffed. It was difficult to keep the ingredients inside while holding them to eat. And the wait on a Saturday at 9:30a is at least 15 minutes once your order is in. People tended to order a lot at once! Completely worth the brief excursion away from downtown.

We went to Granny's on a Thursday late morning. There is paid parking on site…read more No line, so we were able to go straight to ordering. Order and food pickup at the truck. Throw out your disposable bowls and plasticware at the end. There is plenty of outdoor seating right next to the taco truck as well as the patio nearby. You can also go inside where there is a full bar. The tacos are massive so 1 to 1.5 tacos (splitting 3 with someone) was the right amount for me. I really liked the regular taco (Campechano). The breakfast tacos were pretty good and I would give the nod to Ranchero over Machaca. The crispy chicharrón was a nice addition for the Ranchero. I'd also recommend the option of upgrading to fresh corn tortillas. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Lives up to the hype. Here's the thing--You may end up waiting quite some time for your food…read more However, if you give yourself the time to wait, you will not be disappointed. I had the Migas taco and the La Reyna taco. Both were excellent. I loved the veggies combination on the La Reyna taco. I would want to stop in and eat these every week if I lived in Austin. And the hot sauce was on point, both the green and the red. My husband had the Grilled Fish taco and the Grilled Steak taco. He couldn't decide which he liked better, but mentioned that the steak itself had amazing flavor. Do yourself a favor: free up two hours on your day off; order some tacos; order a Desnudo coffee or matcha or hibiscus tea and enjoy the tree-shaded outdoor dining area while you wait for some truly outstanding tacos.

The shrimp is sautéed in this extremely flavorful and spicy chili paste and it is an explosion of flavor in your mouth. The fish taco is also absolutely amazing. For the vegetarians, their cauliflower taco is great. And for the meat lovers, they're steak and Barbacoa taco is off the charts. Their beverages and juices freshly made in house are also always hit. Hard to find such fresh juices at that price point anymore.

This tastes like it came straight out of someone's granny's kitchen in SPAIN. D E L I C I O U S. The menu isn't all vegan, but they've done an incredible job offering both traditional and vegan versions without losing any soul. Am I in heaven? Yes. The owner makes it a point to connect with customers, which was refreshing. You can tell this is passion-driven. You order via QR code at your table, then pick up out back when it's ready--easy. Everything is prepped daily in a Commercial kitchen and finished on the truck, and he proudly shared that the ingredients, spices, even the meats are sourced from Spain. Vegan paella? Incredible. Patatas bravas with vegan aioli? My personal favorite, sooo good. My husband loved the jamón serrano sandwich. And whatever you do, don't skip the sourdough rye with tomato spread. They also mix in a few Belgian items to match the bar, which adds to the whole European vibe. I already need to go back for the vegan fideuà and bombas..they were sold out, which tells you everything. Do yourself a favor: try this spot and support a small business that's clearly fueled by passion and flavor. Yum.

The croquetas and bravas are the best in Austin - better than Kalimotxo, San Gines, and El Raval. They were extremely delicious and the perfect texture and size. The paella was about as good as you could expect from a food truck. The tortilla was our least favorite - taste was good, but wasn't as liquidy as you'd expect in Spain. Overall, the food was great. We would definitely go back! Thank you for keeping this Spanish food authentic.

I sat down yesterday to eat a $13 lunch special: brown stew chicken, rice and peas, steamed…read morecabbage, and plantain, and bit into a piece of chicken that was refrigerator cold. Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.
