While downtown Hutto stopping to get coffee we stumbled upon Shelly's Heart and Soul Food which was…read moreparked nearby in downtown Hutto. After seeing this place on social media I was excited to try it. We ordered a wing plate with two sides, red beans and rice and collard greens. The food came out pretty quickly and smelled amazing. I quickly noticed that the to-go box was heavy and hot which are both two great signs in my book. The wings were the star of the show for me, they were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning and crisp to leave me happy and satisfied. The read beans and rice and collard greens were flavor filled with plenty of turkey meat cooked in with both. I hope to try the catfish and mac next time I stop by! I should also add that the service was good, the two ladies working were friendly and patient with us as we placed our order. They also added a cute decorative napkin and a fork in our to go bag which I appreciated.

Rec's Hushpuppie Heaven -- A True Gem…read more Let me tell you right now--this place lives up to the name! I ordered the Catfish Basket (2 pieces) with fries, onion rings, and their famous Mac & Cheese Hushpuppies, and babyyyy... perfection. The hushpuppies were the star of the show--golden brown, crispy on the outside, and then you bite in and boom... creamy macaroni and cheese with brisket inside. Deep-fried to absolute perfection--moist, flavorful, and unforgettable. I dipped mine in the creamy jalapeño sauce, and that combination needs its own award. I'm already plotting my return to try the shrimp and jalapeño bacon version. The catfish? Listen... crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside, seasoned just right. Almost as good as mine--almost! The fries and onion rings were fried just right too--hot, fresh, and not greasy or overcooked. And let me not forget the coleslaw--a simple side done right. Cool, fresh, and the perfect balance to all that deep-fried goodness. Don't skip it. The establishment was spotless--and that matters. When you walk into a restaurant, you want to smell good cooking, not something unpleasant lingering in the air. This place was clean, welcoming, and the young men working that day greeted me as soon as I walked in the door. Excellent service from beginning to end. And here's what makes it even better--the owner gives back to the community in a big way. That alone deserves support. Reasonable prices, amazing food, clean space, and heart behind the business. Whether you're local or just passing through--do yourself a favor and stop by. I'll definitely be back.

Y'all they might have some of THE BEST batter on any catfish I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned, and the fries were perfect as well. The shrimp basket was great too. The best part though, was walking in and feeling so welcome and at home. I can't wait to come back again.

I found this place on TikTok and looked up the location and we just drove straight to it. When we arrived I was confused because I expected a restaurant, but instead a food truck. Was I a little skeptical? Of course, I couldn't lie. Regardless, the reviews were great and their food looked amazing on TikTok. I ordered a #3, which came with 1/2 crab, 10 shrimp, 1 sausage, 1 egg, and 1 corn for $30. The seasoning I added was "lil kick" and Chili Limón. When we got back to our hotel, the food was still warm and I cannot say this enough... it was amazing. Absolutely 10/10. The crab was perfectly cooked and the seasoning was perfect. The shrimp came out so smooth and the potatoes were BOMB. I wish I took a picture before eating it all!

Was super excited to be able to get lobster... shouldn't have I know lobster is very difficult to cook. I've had a lot of different lobsters over the years and this is the first one that I was not able to even cut a piece off or chew it. It was so overcooked. The Lobster was beautiful, it was such a shame. Would've gave a five star rating if I could've ate the lobster plus it was really expensive and we only have one egg and one corn so who gets to eat it??? No for real who? lol

My friends and I went for Sunday funday because they were having a DJ and a crawfish boil. When I saw kings and queens I chose that over the Crawfish. I was greeted whenever I walked up to the truck and the server was super friendly and even offered for me to taste the Jamaican punch before I bought it. I ordered the jerk chicken platter and it was so delicious. The food was cooked to perfection with such great flavor. The cabbage was my absolute favorite!!! I will definitely be back to try the other Jamaican dishes.

The oxtails were savory and properly cooked, but just 'okay' for my taste as they lacked that fall-off-the-bone tenderness and the rich, sweet depth I personally prefer. The rice and peas were a bit 'meh' and could have used more flavor. That said, it wasn't bad everything was eaten and enjoyed! Location/Parking: It's located at Hanovers Draught Haus (inside the establishment). You can park right on the side or use the lot, which is very convenient.

I was disappointed with my recent visit to Rolling Rooster. When we arrived, there was an employee…read morestanding behind the register with a mop and bucket, and I noticed that no one handling food was wearing gloves. The young lady at the register left quickly when we approached, and when I asked if we could dine in, she told us there was no room. That felt unusual, but we decided to order takeout. While placing the order, she mentioned there were plumbing issues and something was overflowing, which raised another concern about the cleanliness of the environment. She also seemed anxious and unprofessional during the interaction. We were told the food would take about 15 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 30-45 minutes. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations, especially for the price. The oxtails, rice, greens, and macaroni and cheese were around $36. The okra looked like it had been refried, and the chicken wings tasted as though they were cooked in old grease. The greens had an unusual flavor, and the macaroni and cheese did not taste like traditional mac and cheese. The oxtails were messy but not tender. Based on the lack of professionalism, the long wait, and the overall quality of the food, I do not plan to return.

They were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of vinegar and cooked to that ideal tender texture without being mushy. The fried chicken and catfish were outstanding. Both were well seasoned, incredibly crispy, and tasted like they were fried in fresh grease. Every bite was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The baked macaroni and cheese was good, but it leaned a little more toward a Velveeta-style cheese sauce than my personal preference. Still a solid 9/10. I also ordered the Peach Passion Fruit Hennessy margarita, and it was superb. Smooth, flavorful, and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the prices were very reasonable, and the portions were generous. If you're looking for authentic soul food in Austin, The Rolling Rooster is absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely be back.

Our family has deep ties to Guam as my mom is from there, and Hawaii as my dad was stationed there for many years in the air force and I was born there! I also grew up in California where access to Hawaiian / Pacific Islander food and culture is everywhere. Needless to say I was blown away! There are very few places to order a mixed plate here in Austin and this tasted the closest I've had to home in a long time. We ordered the Ohana Platter, Garlic Butter Shrimp Plate, Maui Kalbi Ribs, and Spam Musubi. Everything was hot and delicious and so so so flavorful. The finedene was an amazing touch.

There's plenty of outdoor seating but little shade, so you decide if you want to brave the heat or eat in your car. The plate lunch is a classic and they do it proud here. It typically consists of a protein, a few scoops of rice and macaroni salad. I went with the Huli Huli chicken, which is more or less grilled teriyaki cooked with extra pineapple tang. They give a good amount of meat for the price. Food takes a bit of time but I appreciate them cooking it fresh. They got other classics like loco moco too!
