The TGI Take

Austin eats out of trailers better than most cities eat in restaurants, and the best of them are parked next to a brewery or a coffee shop with a picnic table and room for a golf bag. This is our field guide: fifteen trucks, in three parts of town, from breakfast tacos at 7am to Bib Gourmand barbecue in the afternoon.

If you only make one stop, go to Gimme Burger at Butler Pitch & Putt. It is the one truck in town that is actually on a golf course, and a smash burger after nine short holes is hard to beat. For breakfast before a tee time, Two Goose is a mile from Lions. For the best meal on a picnic table, Patrizi’s.

Every truck here was confirmed open this month from its own website or ordering page, and the hours and prices are what those pages showed on 26 September 2026. Trucks move and sell out, so check before you drive. We have written about some of these before, in our BBQ Field Guide and muni food rankings.
