I came to Lustre Pearl for a different food truck but it had closed early, so I ended up getting the Honey Lime Chicken sandwich- and boy was I glad! This is a crazy food grilled chicken sandwich! The chicken was generous and so juicy and flavorful, with a hefty amount of Brie and some nice greens (could have used more greens but hey it was tasty), and even some surprise chips on the side! My friends got the hamburgers and they seemed to enjoy them but I was too deep in my sandwich to notice much lol! The truck didn't seem too busy and it took maybe 10 minutes for my sandwich to come out but I wasn't paying too close attention to the clock. We also got the fried pickles which are very unique- instead of just breaded slices/spears they wrap the pickle with cheese in a wonton wrapper or something along those lines and deep fry the package. I'd say in general I prefer the standard fried pickle as I'm crazy about them, but for a fun and different take on it I enjoyed them! Couldn't try the fries a they were sold out of them (6:30 on a Sunday so not exactly prime time). read more

Um...its okay food overall. Sliders...4 stars. Well seasoned and tasty. They're slider size but worth it. Spicy Fries...1 star. They're either frozen bag fries that are thin cut, over fried, and crunchy. Or they're fresh cut but taste like thin cut, over fried, crappy fries.. Not sure Fried pickle.. 0 stars. uh dont get. Sog Fest! read more

Sliders are super tasty! The fried pickles, though!!! THE STAR! These are outrageously delicious. I order 3-4 orders and binge. read more

This food truck is fine. It's middling. When a place has a focus on burgers I defer to how they cook it standard to start as I expect them to know best. The truck itself looks really cool and I love the Thicket Food park location. They're the only burger spot in the park and I had high expectations after having had the other food like the hotdogs, coffee, and breakfast trucks. We decided to pop over and go specifically to the Perfect Bite to, well, get some perfection burgers to bite into. Overall, the experience was fine. The employees were super friendly and approachable. The food took about 15 minutes because it's all cooked fresh and that's to be expected. So let's break it down. Starting with sides. The fries were cooked perfectly. Crispy and light exterior with a fluffy warm interior. Everything you could want. The chips were H-E-B brand salted chips right from the bag to the tray. Easy, simple, nothing special but just what you'd want. The burgers. Overall the flavors were on point. The bacon was nice and a lip smoky. The egg thought was cooked in a perfect circle form a la Starbucks or McDonald's style. Either in a ring on a flattop or microwaved. Not sure. Somehow when it was handed to us the yolk was still runny but by the time we sat down and got to the middle of the burger it was cooked through. The buns had a hefty char on the top but didn't impart that taste and were incredibly good. I don't think they make them so I'd love to find the brand so I can start using them at home! So, that leaves us with the meat. The star of the burger show. Sadly, while with flavor, it was over cooked and a lil dry. I think the spot has potential and with the thickness of that patty id love to try it again and ask for a done-ness level of rarer to see what this burger can really be! But for now as it comes, it left me not excited nor truly disappointed. read more

Went to have some drinks at Vida Lee and found this yummy food truck here. I asked for the spicy burger he had and he recommended me the come and take it burger and recommend the fried pickles to go with it. I got to say it was a great recommendation I would go back to get it again. Plus the customer service was great he was very friend in which I found out he was from pretty much where I was from so it was nice to meet him! read more

Maybe the dude was having problems with his equipment, which is why it took 45 mins without a line, but the food was just not good. Overcooked (and/or previously frozen?) burger with bacon and fries: $18.25 before tip. The fries were fresh, so I'm guessing the dude cooked the burger and had it sitting there getting cold while he made the fries. Italian sandwich sucked too, but it was at least hilarious. Nice quality bread, but something a little more generous than a 9:1 bread-to-meat ratio would've been appreciated. read more

I ordered the Come and take it and couldn't even finish it. The meat was weirdly seasoned- more in some areas than others and some bites were way too salty. Overwhelming with the pepper. A bit too greasy as well. Fries were mid. read more

I just ordered from this place for the first time. The guy got my order wrong in a big way. What I ordered was a mushroom swiss with grilled mushroom and onion and chipotle Mayo. What I got was a $14 burger with cheddar on a dry bun. No mushroom, no onion. He was new he said, and he caught the cheddar mistake before playing the food, but I didn't realize he missed the entire half of the burger I was expecting. Plus, the fries weren't cooked enough- I popped those bad boys into an air fryer as soon as I got home. My husbands burger at least had the bacon and Swiss cheese he wanted, but there was no chipotle Mayo either. Poor guy was a little flustered so I feel bad he was new and having to handle everything all by himself, but also not happy to spend money on something and not get what I asked for too. The bun is very buttery, burger patty a little dry. Good quality cheddar though. I'm pretty bummed I paid $35 for what I got. read more

The Perfect Bite - Not a mushroom Swiss, but it's definitely a burger. - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is my first review of 2021, and I'm excited to start this year on a high note, with a 5 star review! I'm going to tell you how badass The Perfect Bite is. My husband and I had lunch here today, and it was the best decision ever. This food trailer is in The Thicket food/retail trailer park off S 1st, and it's super cute! Lots of trees and shady picnic benches, lots of yummy food trucks to eat at, a coffee trailer that looks quite bomb, and even a hair and makeup trailer! Oh and also... Simpli Thai has a lil pick-up trailer out here, so you can pre-order any of their goodies (Thai meal kits or sauces) for pick-up too, while you're out here! Onto the important stuff: The Food. I had the Honey Lime Grilled Chicken Sandwich (add avo, bc, duh) and my husband had the burger. Holy Food Coma- so good, and we both stuffed our faces and ate everything on our plates. The chicken sandwich is juicy, saucy, and flavorful- would dare to say it's the Top 3 grilled chicken sandwiches of my life. Messy AF, so grab lots of napkins or order fries and dip your fries in the cheesy, sauciness that will inevitably drip from your sandwich. The burger was great too! The meat was perfectly cooked to medium, and that croissant-esque bun was MONEY. I will for sure ask for that same bun any time I order a sandwich from this place again. Also, just want to mention the guy at the counter was really nice and helpful! Can't wait to come back and try more of the sandwiches here. read more

The Perfect Bite - Cheeseburger Honey and Lime Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Basket of Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Average food. The french fries are frozen hill country fair. Tasted freezer burnt. The burger not a perfect bite. The beef was not seasoned. read more

One of the best burgers I've had in a while! It's a little food truck behind lustre pearl and I really had simple expectations, but wow we really had them shot out of the water and loved it. I expected a smash burger as tbh I didn't think anything else done good was doable in a food truck, but he took his time and did a nice thick medium rare burger with a perfect flavor. The meat aside, the grilled peppers were caramelized great, the chive aioli was super tasty, the buns were nice and toasty, and the cheese was nicely melted. read more

The location is cute for sitting down and to eat/talk. Overall The Perfect Bite was decent. The burger was cooked fresh and the bread did stand out as if it were made from scratch, the people were friendly and did enforce social distancing while ordering and wore masks the entire time. The burger itself was in the same level of making your own burger at home, the taste was good. I'm not discrediting the burger by any means, but I just felt like there was more my mouth was wanting after the last bite, as if I wasn't fully satisfied with the taste entirely. I felt for the price of the meal (burger and fries) it wasn't worth it. Overall the location is great, so come out and enjoy the sun and grab yourself a nice meal. read more

Terrible service and food. Waited over 30 minutes for overcooked, border line burnt burgers, cold and under cooked fries. Overpriced in general and especially for the quality of food we received. read more

My search for a really good hamburger in South Austin has finally ended! I enjoyed combo sliders, with fries and they were amazing! Star of the show for me were the french fries, - best french fries I've had in the United States! But let's not forget the hamburgers, the beef patties are beautifully cooked sizzling hot and incredibly juicy and flavorful, with a perfect accompaniment of cheese and spices on top. Next time I'm going to wear my big boy pants and order the full size hamburger, and I hear that it's a monster! I really cannot wait to come back here , awesome food, awesome service so glad I found it! read more

William and Alfie are knocking it out of the park. The food is fresh and delicious. The burgers are moist and juicy! Yes, I said juicy!

My first time here and my salmon burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Everything is home made, the cook was kind to whip up a delicious salad with a red wine vinaigrette(put it on the menu). Definitely coming back soon! Great place for a quick lunch! read more

Had burger and fries there yesterday! Loved the brioche bun, burger was juicy and flavorful. My burger had grilled peppers that were delicious. Fries were piping hot and were a good sized portion. Christopher the chef was sweet, courteous, and funny. read more

Did not have a good experience. Won't go into it but orders were mixed up, waited 30+ minutes, had to ask multiple times for the drinks we purchased. Burger was over cooked and did not have toppings I asked/paid for. The fried pickles I did like so I'll give them back a star. It's Saturday night, and the weather is right. Do yourself a favor and avoid if not staffed by more than one person. read more

Burger is fine, definitely not $15 worth. Meat was not fresh and on top of everything, you have to add fries on to your order for an extra charge. The $19 I spent on this food truck burger would've been better spent at an actual steakhouse where you can get a far superior burger and fries for the same price. read more

Very tasty sandwich with a nice food truck courtyard atmosphere. Olive oil is the oil used which is

Used a recently purchased Groupon, easy easy! Called the order in over the phone, was ready 15 minutes later. Burger was really good, purchased the S 1st and also a Cheeseburger. Meat was well cooked, juicy and well seasoned. The bread is grilled, fresh and awesome! The burger was large sized, fries were golden, crispy goodness! Give it a shot....really good food! read more

The service was lacking but the food was ok. I had the fried pickles and side of fries. The pickles are an wonton wrapped pickle with a great aioli sauce. The fries are great! Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Prices were reasonable too for a trailer. read more

This is going to be my new lunch pickup spot! The food was so good and the service was exceptional. Called early (not realizing they were not open yet) to see if they could accommodate a food allergy. The guy (owner) on the phone didn't let me know he was in the middle of opening until almost the end of my long drawn out questioning about what I could get. He was exceptionally patient with me. I feel bad that I took up so much of his time while trying to open but at least now I know what kind of person he is. The best! The food was delicious, exceeded my expectations. Had a burger on a salad with a lot of little extras thrown in. French fries were perfect! In a world that has gotten so impatient and testy, this guys patience with this old lady was amazing! Thanks so much for being kind! read more

One burger two drinks 18$ They were out of two items and had one employee running the whole thing so every time someone came to order... the food making process stopped. Took us 25mins to get a burger... never coming back. read more

All in All, waited thirty minutes for a mediocre burger that he said would take only ten. After we ordered we noticed that he Was telling other people that his grill was cold and something was wrong. We went up (20 minutes after we ordered) to check on what was going on, and he didn't say anything to us about a problem, and that it would be another 3 minutes. After ten more minutes passes, he comes out with an over cooked burger, no apologies for the wait or any comments on it at all. I would have given three stars had he had better customer service. Even a comment letting us know what was going on would have been fine. Guess I'll just stick to the other trucks. read more

I love burgers man. We ordered at the last minute and the lad took us in . What a nice guy.

No stars!!! A perfect waste of time for me and my wife. Service was bad by the young man in dreads but the cook seemed to be ok. I was greeted by a bland attitude just has bland as the burger. The cashier kept my change and later when I called him out on it to the cook who served our food he gave the cook $1.35 back but I was owed .95. I told the cook I didn't need the change but what I needed was honesty. Food was Luke warm and it was not busy at all for both burgers to be barley warm to the touch. I typically don't comment on things but I spent $41, this was bad service with bad food. Never going back read more

I had burgers ordered there many times so I decided to try the chicken sandwich. Oh goodness it tastes very good. Highly recommended to go there for a meal. The food truck is tiny but It's worth every time. read more

One of the best food trucks in Austin. Everything is super fresh and in speaking with the owner, he grows almost everything himself or local sources it. I had the cheeseburger with the chips. Burger was amazing and the bun straight tasted like a croissant. I will definitely be back. The truck is in the "the thicket" food truck park on S 1st. They have live music and a playground for the ki read more

Used to be a repeat customer but since going last week the quality in food has gone down tremendously. The burgers don't look/taste the same anymore. I also noticed the buns were different and tasted of more lower quality. The food is no longer worth the price to me anymore. I will not be returning. Also the man taking/giving my order seemed very drunk and disorderly. Maybe seek more professional employees as well. read more

We stopped by this place randomly and found a hidden gem. Both the burger and the grilled chicken sandwich were amazing and bursting with flavor. Additionally, the customer service was awesome. I don't have a single complaint, we will be back! read more

I got the honey + like grilled chicken sandwich and the thicket salad and I can honestly say it's the best grilled chicken sandwich and salad I've had since moving to Austin. The sandwich has a healthy amount of Brie on top of a perfectly-sized chicken breast. The salad tastes fresh with some extra candied walnuts because they're delicious! This guy has only been around for a month and I hope he stays because I'll definitely eat here often. His truck is also in a cute little food truck park with plenty of benches, heaters (for the cold weather), and a playground for kids. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. read more

I love this little trailer and the hardworking folks who run it. There have been issues at The Thicket (food trailer court at South First and Dittmar) with other businesses keeping sporadic hours, but these guys are there when they say they'll be there! I've had a couple of different burgers and the beef is fresh, the flavor profiles are rich and zesty. The star of the show, however, is the Manchaca Meatloaf sandwich with Spicy Ketchup. Man, is it good! The meatloaf is always perfectly cooked and juicy, the spicy ketchup is really tasty, and the fresh, soft hoagie roll it comes on tastes like it was just baked. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. You can even get a haircut at the trailer next door! read more

Tried out the location at Lester pearl, and was a little disappointed. We got a salmon burger and a Brodie burger. The salmon burger was extremely dry and had almost no toppings on it. The Brodie burger was short on toppings as well. Both with fries, they seemed under cooked and under seasoned. I think overall the biggest issue we had was the size of the bun. It seemed the bun was massive compared to the actual burger and condiments. We both actually only ate half the bun. The bun was great when eaten alone, but seemed to soft and flaky for an actual burger. Should have taken friends advice. read more
