Food Scene

I take my family here for awesome food, cool scene, and great little outdoor space. Near lots of cool bars, but closer than "dirty 6th" bar scene.

So close for lunch. Don't bother with any of the stuff in the bigger food truck park across the street. This is way better. Authentic, unassuming, in a parking lot, and amazing. Real Eastside Awesome.

Get a rotisserie chicken, a frozen margarita, and those frozen custards are pretty damn good too. It was a tire shop where I used to get my tires changed, now it's got a nice back yard for a chill session

Lynn, the owner, is the best. She is old school Austin at it's finest. The Lynn's trailer is tucked away and shared a space with an art gallery called Mass, which is also run by some buddies of ours. Check out Lynn's for a yummy breakfast and help support really cool folks making really good food. Lynn's is the kind of place they're talking about with the Keep Austin Weird slogan.

You buy a glass and they fill it free. This place uses the loophole some places do to work around a quirk in the law. You leave with the glass if like. The beer is all something called sour mash, it's very good but a little different. You can sample lots of different ones.
