    Sliced brisket sandwich with a side of chips
    Lily Z.

    We hired Keith's BBQ as one of the food trucks for our conference. Service was friendly. The brisket sandwich was awesome. Fatty, not too much sauce and moist. Everything you want in a brisket sandwich. I tried Ironworks the day before and I wasn't too impressed but I decided to give Austin barbeque another try and it was delicious! Plus I love that they're on a school bus!

    Second time trying out Keith's BBQ and they have redeemed themselves. It was D-Lish! Not only good BBQ but hospitality as well.

    Just look at this.

    It's disgusting how good this place is. Think ravaged-your-hands-with-grease and licking-sauce-off-forever disgusting. I was about to drive off to another nearby spot in north Austin when I heard the music. In the three seconds it took me to source the music, I picked up the first hint of smoke, and all of a sudden I found myself hooked. Think Bugs-Bunny-floating-through-the-air-on-the-trail-of-carrot-soup hooked. The rest of it was really quite simple. I ordered from the off-menu option of Brisket by the pound. Got some wonderbread to go with it and stocked up on the sauce. Found a table, made a total mess of my hands, and put together marvelous slabs of Brisket Saucewiches. Visually, the sliced brisket lit up all the right colors, ranging from deep-charred brown to smoke-ring red to heart-attack fatty white. Each bite of my other helping of sandwiched chopped brisket blended all of its flavor profiles perfectly together--like a bottle of hand-prepped french perfume--with the charred topnotes and savory basenotes from the beef as well as the sweet and mildly tart heartnotes in the sauce all tempered ever so slightly by the two white wedges of carbs. I won't pretend to claim I know anything about BBQ, but heck I'd buy the truck if I could. Crushed it. 5 stars. One imaginary star on top for service. Might you guys kindly drive up to the DC area, pretty please?

    Love the idea of BBQ served out of a cute renovated vintage school bus! I had the "two meat" combo in a flour tortilla. The chopped beef was okay, although a little too fatty for my taste. The sausage was the star of the show, it is very flavorful, moist and mildly spicy. Bonus points for being able to choose between a sandwich or a tortilla wrap, although if you get the wrap the tortilla ends up pretty soggy.

    Ordered the Brisket Sandwich (sliced) with the yelp check in offer. The guy recommended chopped brisket but I wanted to compare Keith's brisket with Franklin's. The briskets in my sandwich were consistently good--moist but not overly fatty. Better than the bad batch but not as amazing as the on-point Franklin briskets. I wish the buns were lightly toasted and crunchy on the inside, and I wish the sandwich came with a lot more onions and pickles. Maybe even some on the side. I grabbed some BBQ sauce and I'm glad I did, since the sandwich was a little dry (brisket is moist but shy of enough, especially for sandwich, and there wasn't enough veggies). Really good sauce too!

    On the plus side, Keith's comes to my office parking lot. I don't mess with sides, and pretty much just stick to the "Keith's Special" (sandwich or wrap of brisket and sausage). So for me, it's under $10. They drive down the highway with a burning fire on-board, so that's cool. And occasionally the parking lot smells glorious. The guy at the window is always friendly. The reviews are definitely a dichotomy. I'm somewhere in the middle. In my opinion, Keith's strength is convenience, but it's certainly not the mindblowing BBQ experience that would warrant anything approaching five stars. The brisket today (chopped and sauced, instead of the usual "sliced" they had run out of) was room temp and slightly stringy, and the jalapeño sausage is clearly brought in. I'll grade it on a scale where 1 is botulism, 3 is when-HEB-sometimes-has-a-trailer-selling-sandwiches-and-sausage-wraps, 4.5 is what I lovingly make on my Big Green Egg, and 5 are the places that make Texas Monthly's list every year. 3.45 stars

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

I was craving some Jerk…read morechicken (been in a BBQ food coma) and decided to try Tony's Caribbean food truck...yes, another food truck. I am the most adventurous diner in our household. From speaking with Tony Jr. today, they also have a restaurant in Pflugerville. I ordered jerk chicken, which fell off the bones and came with cabbage, rice and peas and plantain. I have traveled to Jamaica a couple of times, this Jamaican food was the real deal. The jerk chicken was a bit spicey but not set your tongue on fire spicey. The rice and peas along with the cabbage was perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the sweet plantain, spoken like a plantain connoisseur. The plantain was sweet on the inside and slightly charred on the outside...perfect combination. The only improvement would have been for me to get a side of plantain. My food was delivered fast and hot. Tony Jr. was super personable and friendly. There is seating in the center of the food truck park. You hear tunes being played in the background. The food truck park is at the core of East Austin in a semi-residential area. Street parking is available for diners. I look forward to trying curry goat and oxtails and more.

Most likely because I was too busy shoving all of that food goodness into my mouth! No joke. I love, love, love the Jamaican patty! I love getting one with a side of rice & peas. Perfect little meal. I also really love the fried plantains, curry chicken and jerk chicken. Truly authentic Caribbean food right in my neighborhood, life doesn't get any better. Lots of outdoor seating and other things to check out while there. Do yourself a favor...get to Tony's!
