This place is a gem. Cockti is definitely on my top list. Sorry, my pics dont do justice to how good the food actually is!

Plenty of parking. Cool little atmosphere. Now here's the plot twist... It's attached to a gas station. Before you clutch your pearls and drive on by... DON'T. Some of the best food comes from places your GPS forgot to brag about. The menu is HUGE, and they even had a daily special posted. Our table tackled: Tortilla Burger (whatever the official name is... I'd order it again!) Philly Cheesesteak & Fries Shrimp Po' Boy Orleans Pasta Fried Mac & Cheese Balls Everything came out hot, fresh, and in portions big enough to make tomorrow's lunch jealous. Now... let's talk onion rings. LORT. Hand-breaded. Golden. Crunchy. And about the size of a toddler's bracelet. Order them. Just trust me. The shrimp on the Po' Boy? Big, juicy, perfectly cooked, and definitely hand-breaded--not those little frozen shrimp trying to fool anybody. A few more reasons we'll be back: Breakfast served ALL DAY. BYOB. Karaoke nights (check the sign inside for dates). ‍‍‍ Plenty of room for large groups. And a special shout-out to our sweet server, Nicole. She was attentive, kind, and one of those people who genuinely enjoys taking care of her customers. She absolutely made our visit even better. TW'S REAL PANTS RATING: -- 5 out of 5 Real Pants As a full-time camper and proud naturist... I don't put on real pants for just anybody. This place earned 'em. We'll definitely be back.

Fry Let me tell you…read moreabout FTG. The little food truck in the back of a sweet-ass dive bar called Mama Dearest. Do you wanna know about the dive bar? You'll have to check out my other review. But just know it's filled with weird taxidermy and novelty items that are one of a kind. But I digress. Back to the food. I would like to tell you I tried everything on the menu as many times as I came here. But alas, only four or five things. Unfortunately, their pierogies are the best thing I've ever had. Not just in Austin, but ever. I am now desperately seeking pierogies that rival FTG's. It's not just the pierogies themselves... but the sauce, it would make angels sing. Every time I tried something new, my heart would long for the pierogies. I finally gave in to my desires and quit trying other new things. I think next time I go back I'm just going to ask strangers if I can have a bite of their food, so I can say I've tried everything. But until then, this review is for what I have tried. After the pierogies. My next favorite things in order. Fried chicken (perfectly crisp bites), jerk chicken (little spicy, not dry, perfect), chilli (so spicy), gnocchi. The cheesecake would technically rank after the pierogies, but because they're a dessert I don't wanna mess up the order here and confuse y'all. The two dudes that work this truck, are here EVERY time. I'm pretty sure the only days they take off is Mondays and Tuesdays. Tell them the girl from Kansas City with a big dog sent to you. Lastly. Know that you won't find this place overrun with college kids or snotty hipsters. Just regular people enjoying a good dive bar.

Rating: 2.7/5 [Postmates delivery]…read more We were so excited to try FTG's food, especially given its high Yelp rating. Unfortunately, it ended up being extremely disappointing. The meats were unforgivably dry, though everything else was good. Steak & Zab ($22): The zab, a mix of green beans, mushrooms, and broccoli tossed in salsa macha with sabayon, was actually enjoyable. I liked the flavors, but it was a bit too creamy/saucy for my husband (likely due to the sabayon). The steak, however, was dry and very chewy. Asian Style Spare Ribs ($17): This came with a 1/3 rack of spare ribs, a Thai cabbage salad, and five-spice fried potatoes. The potatoes were fire, and the salad was solid. But again, the meat missed the mark--super dry for the most part. We tried dipping it in the sabayon and other sauces to add moisture, but it didn't help. The fish sauce glaze didn't come through either. The only redeeming quality was the generous portion size.

I think I missed the mark ordering the lovely day (with no pesto). The biscuit was so wide it barely fit in my mouth to take a bite lol. The chicken sausage was a little bland but I think if I had kept the pesto this sandwich would've hit it out the park. That's on me. I got my sandwich quick. I would definitely try again with a different sandwich pick!

I tried the chicken boneless sandwich medium which came with fries and the chicken tenders mild…read more The chicken itself is very juicy and tender. Most of the flavor is on the outside though and because the chicken is so juicy and big the crust falls off. The chicken sand which is HUGE. There is so much meat and the ratio seems really off. The bread gets really soggy fast but the coleslaw and pickles are a nice addition. The flavors are really solid. The medium is the perfect spice for me. The tenders are okay, since I got mild it wasn't really flavorful and the dang sauce isn't very flavorful either. Food was made to order because it was HOT. The brewery area is very cute and fun but the parking situation is not great.

Last time I went here, I was turned away since the owner was overwhelmed with too many orders…read more Thankfully I got to try it this time! They make their food to order bc our food was STEAMING. The chicken sandwich was a behemoth of a sandwich. I could barely bite it, but worth the $15! The bun was extremely soft, but the ratio of chicken to bun was a little off. Their pickles are sweet which is ideal with that level of heat. I got the hot which was perfect for me. The fries are amazing tbh, even after sitting in the fridge, they had a great flavor and texture somehow. I wish they put more sauce which is probably my personal preference haha It was a good meal overall, but not my favorite fried chicken spot. The burger with curry sauce WAS SO GOOOOD!! If i came back, I would get that. Smash burger patty with a pillowy bun - delish!

There's a lot of food trucks in Austin. There are a few that I consider above the rest and Spicy…read moreBoys is one of those joints. Spicy Boys has four locations in the Austin area, with probably their most popular at Zilker Brewing. They are a spicy chicken establishment and their spicy chicken comes in different shapes and sizes from bone-in fried chicken, chicken sandwiches, and nuggets. I have only ever ordered their fried chicken sandwich and every time, I have been a fan. I always get their middle option in heat, the Hot Gai, which is sandwiched between the OG and the Tingly Gai. It hits every time. The mayonnaise, the pickles, the perfectly crisp chicken: you can't miss it. As a side, I ALWAYS without fail get their Tater Tots. They are consistently crispy while remaining soft on the inside. Sometimes I will get it seasoned with their Tingly Sichuan, but the heat is sometimes too much. I cannot recommend the tots enough. Spicy Boys is one of those places that is always there for you. They are consistently open and the people making the orders are putting a ton of dedication into making them smack every time. The sandwich alone comes at $9.50 with the tots at $3.50, which seems on par or slightly lower than a typical food truck if my memory serves me right. I recommend giving them a shot whether you are at Spokesman in Pflugerville, St. Elmo Brewing, or Zilker off 6th Street. It's in the upper echelon of food trucks. RIYL: peak chicken sammys

I have always loved Your Mom's, but it had been a hot minute since I was able to eat there again…read morebecause life happens. Anyway, I was thrilled to finally eat there again after four years. First off, this place is always busy, so that should tell you something. Don't expect to get your food quickly, but don't let that put you off! The food is beyond amazing and great food is worth waiting for. I always get their gumbo, and it is so good! I also had their pot roast and it was the most delicious pot roast I have had. I had a big chunk of meat that was the most tender and tastiest bit of beef that I have ever had. I would have like a bit more veggies with it, but that is just a personal thing. I would still recommend it 100 percent! I do get my food to go because I don't really like sitting in my restaurants. (I order it online.) Food is always bagged up nicely, and I like the fact that they text me when my food is ready to be picked up so I know exactly when to leave. The owners (Ryan and Gina) are such a sweet couple and so friendly! Ryan is the chef and Gina works at the register. Gina always makes me feel welcome. Great atmosphere all around. You always feel welcome at Your Mom's.
