My fiance and I enjoyed the food for dinner, but I really have to say it was too expensive. If they had a side or something that came with the grilled cheese then I would be more ok with the price. The guy working there was super nice. Unfortunately he was the only one there, so it took forever for the food to come out. I know for lunch they had two workers so maybe things move faster during that time. read more

They manage to put flavors into a grilled cheese that I wouldn't think is possible. Somehow it all works and it's amazing. Definitely my new staple spot to hit while I'm in Austin. read more

Awesome grilled cheese sandwich bread great great crunch when bitting into it , perfectly grilled must try !!!!!!!! 5 Stars

I love the grilled cheese sandwiches here! I've only had the O.G. and it was great. The cheese is delicious and the King's Hawaiian bread rolls used are nice and sweet. I could maybe make this at home if I had the materials, but I'm too lazy to go buy artisan Havarti cheese. Kinda overpriced but the sandwiches are good. I loved seeing their booths at events during SXSW and Austin Psych Fest. read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Cute. - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is tasty and very filling! A friend and I purchased Austin Passbooks for the summer and this was one of the places in the book with a two for one coupon. We both had the Coppola, which consisted of provolone, tomatoes and pesto grilled into sourdough bread. For a side we tried the cucumber salad, basically just cucumbers and tomato drizzled in dressing. Definitely worth a try if you are looking for something good for dinner. read more

Burro Cheese Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Austin, Texas

Meh not bad not a fan of how crispy the bread was, tasted cheap to me.

Great spot for a quick and inexpensive lunch. I say inexpensive because I think it is the cheapest place that you can go for a relatively filling meal in the SoCo area. I've tried nearly every combination on the menu but my favorite remains the Coppola (gouda, tomatoes & almond pest on sourdough). I usually add on a fried egg or some prosciutto - it's worth it. Do it. These artisan sambos can be a little greasy but it IS grilled cheese after all! read more

Love the Burro Cheese Kitchen and their food truck! Amazing creations of grilled cheese sandwiches!

This has got to be one of my favorite places in Austin!! By far the best grilled cheese I've ever had, and it is incredible every time! The location is great and the outside seating along south congress is beyond enjoyable. I would 100% recommend and go back! read more

Had a sandwich from the food truck at SXSW. Looking forward to exploring more of their menu next time I am in Austin!

Most disappointing grilled cheese I've ever had! The wait took forever, and then the sandwhich was nothing special. Over toasted and somewhat burned. Super disappointing for waiting for so long. read more

The Need. Have you ever had that moment when you realize life is not worth living without cheese? I have and that's what led me to the Burro Cheese Kitchen. While I typically avoid the most congested areas of Austin, Burro Cheese Kitchen lives deep in the heart of SoCo. Basically, a mecca for the droves of Austinites that hit the streets on a beautiful sunny day The Artisan. Now, the Burro experience is tagged as "artisan grilled cheese sandwiches" but I don't really even know what that means so I looked it up. A dry definition states, "artisan food is defined as a superior tasting food, which commands a blah blah blah." I found another I liked much better, "The belief that their work is not a means to something else, but one of the ways to give meaning to their lives." I translate this to mean someone with a passion for what they do. Hey, I'm eating someone's passion! The Choices. Anyway, back to the cheese. Like most people, my only experience of grilled cheese is two slices of Kraft American Singles on some white bread, just like mom made it. When I first read the menu I was a bit overwhelmed with the choices, all cleverly named mind you. Stuff like "Waylon & Wille", "Grilled Glory" and my favorite, "You're My Boy Blue"). Oh, and if you really want to melt your brain you can build your own sandwich. I ran the numbers, there's 4 artisan breads, 9 quality cheeses (two i can't pronounce) and 6 dips. I'm crappy at math but I think that makes 216 different grilled cheese sandwiches possible. 216! A cheese connoisseur's paradise. The Sandwich. When I went they had recently just opened and while there was a bit of a wait, it was worth if even just for the people watching (a personal pastime). I decided on the "you're my boy blue", mostly because how can you go wrong with beer bread, blue cheese and dulce de leche! It came piping hot and the bread was rather crispy, how I like it. I was surprised by a distinct lack of cheese overflow, you know when mom made it, oozing out of all four sides onto your plate. Despite this I still felt a bit like Remy (the rat) in Ratatouille, experiencing all the various flavors mixing together in my mouth. It was great and to be honest that was the only downfall, I didn't want the experience to end so soon. I yearned for more. So off I went to get my second sandwich, the Waylon & Wille. This tipped me over the edge so I've determined that my ideal amount would be more like 1.5 burro sandwiches (consider this a customer request). The Price. For folks who say the price could be a bit on the high side, I refer to a quote by Ben Stiller in Happy Gilmore. "Yeah, well, this is handmade quality $&% we're talking here." To me, this isn't the sort of place you eat at 7 days a week. It's a grilled cheese experience. The Conclusion. Burro is in a great location. The have a fantastically fun brand (a yellow donkey logo with holes in it). A cheese donkey! They offer a ton of great choices. To sum it up, if you can't imagine life without cheese, and live in or around Austin, Burro Cheese Kitchen is an absolute must. read more

Our highly anticipated trip to the Burro Cheese Kitchen from 3 hours away was a bit disappointing. 2.5 stars would be most appropriate. The food was just alright and took quite a while. We tried the Waylon and Willie which sounded delicious, but was lacking in any of the carmelized onion or maple flavor, and heavy on the spicy pepperoncini. The other, Via 206 was also lacking in it's highlighted Apricot and balsamic flavor, and mostly bland unless you got one of the 3 bites with jam on it. Sadly, for the price it was not a good value and we won't be back. Austin has too many options to settle for mediocrity. read more

Good. But still not sure what their hours are... says open until 830 online but always seems to close at 7. Not sure. But this is the third time I've tried going at night and its been closed. With that said, food is good if you can figure out when to go. read more

Best grilled cheese I have ever had! And the chef have us free beer. Seriously, one at to drive to Austin from California for another sandwich. I get one whenever I'm in Austin. A must try for anyone in Austin! read more

This is by far the best grilled cheese that either me or my wife have ever had! We went to the traveling food truck located at the midway located on 360 near barton creek mall and the service was awesome and the grilled cheese was better than the service. Each bite was just as flavorful and good as the bite before. So glad we discovered this place! read more

Was visting from Canada. Ordered from the food truck. Amazing! Just go. You won't be dissapointed. Staff was super friendly and food was awesome. read more

Went on a Friday with my boyfriend before a show at the Hideout Theater, and was really happy with my grilled cheese! After reading the reviews I still wanted to try the place but was a little skeptical. However, both of our grilled cheeses were really good! I built my own with a fried egg and spicy mango sauce, which was really good, even the next day, and he got the Waylon & Willie, which he said was really good. They also had free beer (good Shiner beer!) on Friday evening. read more

One question- how does a grilled cheese trailer run out of bread?? I ordered a grilled cheese, on sourdough, with gouda, pesto aioli, and prosciutto. They were out of prosciutto, and sourdough, so they made it on a King's Hawaiian bun. Yuck! 40 minutes, and $10 later, it comes out, no pesto. I didn't even bother asking them to remake it, considering that by that point they were out of even the King's Hawaiian buns. It was 7:00 on a Friday night- wouldn't you think they would assume it would be busy on South Congress and, I don't know, BUY MORE BREAD? Sorry, but in Austin, you have to do better than this if you want to compete with all of the amazing options we have here. I didn't think it was possible to screw up a grilled cheese sandwich, but this was definitely one of the worst I've ever had. And the most expensive. read more

best freakin grilled cheese ever!!! come here with an open mind and a hungry stomach!

They are so freaking nice. Really. The people that work there (okay, just one guy that I interacted with) are so nice. I'm not generally a grilled cheese person, but I am a fancy cheese person, and it's good that they use the fancy stuff. Their tomato soup is fantastic, and not overly creamy. (Don't you hate it when it's a giant bowl of cream with just a hint of tomato? Can we say "Caaaaaaalooorieeeeeees?") It isn't exactly cheap, but it is the good cheese, the good bread, and the good service. (Know what I'm sayin'?) It's worth a stop by, especially in this cold weather! read more

Pretty good sandwiches. I think mine ended up out of order because there were people who came after me that got their food before me. Also the drinks (twice) were not cold. But if you like grilled cheese, give them a try. read more

DAVIDDDDD!!!!! Their food is absolutely delicious and the service was amazing !!! I love this place! That long tall Texan tho

This review is for the burro cheese kitchen food truck off of Rainey street. The OG grilled cheese was good, but very small and not filling what so ever and with the high price of $6 I was very disappointed. I could have made this myself for around $1. It was a squished flat and thin almost cracker-like bun and some cheese. I ended up getting the rest of my meal at a different food truck. Would not purchase again and especially at this price point. read more

This was a very unhappy experience. It's Saturday afternoon, but things don't look busy out front. You go to the window and order. Time goes by and you begin noticing that the handful of people that were there before you are still there and looking furtively at the window, but no sandwiches are coming out. Customers are walking up to the window and inquiring. The two high school kids inside tell you "It's not a fast food establishment." It took about 35 minutes to get two mediocre grilled cheese sandwiches and no customers looked happy. To aggravate the bad service, you pay up front and are asked to tip the staff up front, starting at 15 percent. By the time the sandwiches were in hand I really felt had. read more

I'll start by saying I LOVE grilled cheese and my Austin experiences of the "best grilled cheese" have been mediocre at best. So I was super excited...grilled cheese truck! I will say I thought the size, pricing, bread to cheese ratio, flavor combos were all fantastic. My bread was not greasy and a beautiful golden brown. But there was a problem - eating my Via 206 was a bit like licking the black crust off an old grill. I literally kept taking bites trying to figure out how my sandwich which was not in any way burnt tasted so absolutely vile. I couldn't get that taste out my mouth for hours and felt physically ill. Do you want to know how much I love grilled cheese? My immediate thought was - well I need to come back tomorrow because it can't be this bad all the time. The next day, however, the thought of licking another charcoal grill was not that appealing. I can't imagined every sandwich, on every pan, made by every person tastes this way or they would be out of business - but I do see some other reviews where they had the same problem. I'm not sure what to say - maybe you have a 50/50 chance of getting an edible sandwich? read more

Thank goodness for this place. There's just enough variety for each grilled cheese option that you'll be happy with no matter what what your order is. Sola AM is a great breakfast one. read more

SO SO SO SO GOOD. the bread was toasty, the cheese was oozy, and the meal was filling. I built my own sandwich with the Easy Tiger sourdough, aged cheddar, manchego, and basil pesto. It was so yummy and perfect on a day walking around South Congress. Definitely go!!!! read more

Was very pleasantly surprised at how good my Willie & Waylon grilled cheese was!! Highly recommend these guys and price is right!!

Great food and atmosphere! Unbelievable combinations and new takes on the classic American grill cheese sandwich. The beer bread is to die for as well as their specials. read more

We had the Waylon & Willie and the one with the ham (forgot the name.) The W&W was amazing! Not nearly as greasy as the first time I had it. The one with the ham was a little too sweet for my taste (it's made on King's Hawaiian Bread) but was still pretty good. So I gave back a star for the W&W being really good but docked one because their only 'side' was kettle chips for $3 which for $3 I thought would be homemade but turns out they're just Miss Vickie's chips which are good but not for the mark-up they're selling them at. read more

I was so very excited about trying out Burro Cheese Kitchen and when I finally did, I was so disappointed. I ordered the Via 206 with the sauce on the side. When I opened the package I saw black chunks of material and black char marks and lines all over the bread. It didn't look totally unpleasing so I tried some of it, thinking it was burnt cheese (which can be absolutely delicious), and it was straight up char. The flavor was so strong I could not taste any of the cheese in my sandwich. I tried my brother's and his tasted much the same as mine but you could detect the cheese a little more. I went to ask for something different at the counter and the man working it was less than helpful. I was very nice, certainly not upset, just hungry and hoping something totally different would taste better. The men working there were indifferent and somehow confused by my request to get something else entirely instead of just another of the same sandwich. I got my money back and left. Consequently, my brother was ill a couple of hours later. I will obviously never go back and just wanted people to know it is not what is advertised. Also, they cook everything with a mini-blow torch. That may have something to do with the charring of all the things. Just a thought. read more

Feel the Burn? Grilled Cheese was probably good but I couldn't taste it, because they served me a cup of tomato soup that was so freaking hot that with one small sip it burned my mouth in a really bad way. In order for them to get it that ridiculously hot, it must have been microwaved. I couldn't really eat the sandwich or much else for the next 2 days. Skip the soup. read more

Stopped by based on reviews. After looking over the sign menu they have near the street, I decided on the Via 206 because it said it had Gruyere cheese on it, which I love. I walked up and went to order but noticed on the menu I had picked up at the window the Via 206 didn't show Gruyere. So I asked the lady working. She looked at me like I was stupid and simply said no. I then said I thought the sign menu by the street said it had Gruyere and she again said in a tone that implied I was stupid, No we don't have Gruyere. Her attitude sucked, so I left. No need to spend my money to be treated that way. On my way out though, I double checked, yup I was right, it said Gruyere. I get it things change but don't treat your customers poorly, simply apologize and let them know you'll let management know to get it changed. I might've consider something if that had happened but it didn't so I moved on. read more

Wow, extremely disappointed!! My husband and I were at the Austin Trail of Lights this weekend and were so excited for all the different food trucks to choose from. We decided to get a grilled cheese... BIG MISTAKE!! Top 5 worst food experience I've ever had to pay for! We both ordered the OG, and before I could get out payment the young girl behind the truck had placed the sandwiches on the counter. This should have been my first red flag. They didn't even make us a grilled cheese, they just have pre made sandwiches sitting out in the cold! It's my fault for continuing my business with them (should have declined right then and there) but I honestly gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe at least they had the common decency to have in under a heat lamp (which is still a disgrace). Nope, it was cold, small, and actually made me and my husband sick later that night. We basically spend $12 to get sick! The owner should reevaluate the kids hired for that food truck station because that's a huge health code violation to leave out food like that. Those kids obviously don't appreciate that that's someones business and they don't understand customer service when someone is paying for food. We don't all have parents or family to financially support us so spending money is a treat for some people. I am pregnant too so food poisoning is actually no joke and could harm my baby! Out of ALL the food trucks to choose from I highly DO NOT recommend this one at the Austin Trail of Lights. We have the best food coming out of food trucks in Austin and this one is a complete joke! read more

Dude these guys make a MEAN sandwich. The price is solid, and on Friday's they cook up brisket for a special sandwich which is worth a trip in itself! I eat lunch here all the time and would highly recommend! In terms of seating, it is outdoors so be prepared, but there is a nice amount of shade provided by trees! read more

Decking is multiple levels without sufficient markings. Party member fell, no one even checked on her. No apology. Sandwich was OK.

Can be a little backed up at times, but this place is great. The Coppola add cheddar! So good! The almond pesto aioli is super good. The sourdough bread is a great pick too miam miam read more

I think they should let customers know how long the wait is going to be if they know it will be a long one - we had to wait a little under an hour for 3 grilled cheese sandwiches. When we asked why it took so long, the staff told us that it was because they made orders placed through food delivery companies a priority. In addition, their tomato basil soup was plain and way overpriced for the 1/4cup of soup - they did not even give us a spoon. The grilled cheese sandwiches were not worth the wait or the money, since it's really tough to mess up a grilled cheese and the ingredients they used did not really do much for the sandwich. And to top it all off, the staff member was pretty rude and all we asked for was a spoon. read more

I was kicking myself for not trying this trailer at the old SOCO location but lucked out that they stayed in the neighborhood. The new location has much better shade than the old one. We went there today for lunch and ordered two sandwiches to share. The Croque Madame and the Waylon and Willie were both great sandwiches. I have seen some posts here where the writer complained about too much bread and too little cheese for a grilled cheese. That was NOT our experience and we actually could not finish both (I say both but there were really three in the bag) sandwiches so brought the rest home. The ingredients were fresh and the cheeses are awesome. Justin the owner was manning the window and was both friendly and informative. If you want the grilled cheese of your childhood this is not the place for you. If you like artisan cheeses and fresh breads paired with fresh and interesting flavors then you should give this place a try. read more
