    5 stars aren't enough for this taco! If you go here , and you get the brisket tacos, as they come, and you don't lose your mind.... I don't know what to tell you, but this is the greatest taco on earth

    Seating

    Good bbq! The food came out really fast, there's ton of outside seating (no indoor because it's a truck). Still cute little outdoor area. The bbq is a little over powering, meat is delicious.

    So this is a food truck and they have a cute little outdoor seating area. They were so nice there and you want to recommend. Also very polite they would tell you thank you and you're welcome for anything which I found very appreciative of them. We got a mix of meats. Also, some sides and it came with pickles, jalapeños, and pickled onions, which were phenomenal. In my opinion that they should sell these pickles by the jar. I will say the ribs were delicious the meat which is fall off of the bone. The brisket was so good and they were very thick slices. I have to say the sausage is OK was a little dry for me but the seasonings and it was good. We also got turkey breast. I didn't try it, but my friends said that it was really nice and smoked flavored. As for the sides, we got the mac & cheese, which was really good tasting cheese, but I do feel the mac & cheese needed a little bit more flavor. This street corn was good and very flavorful. Lastly, they do give you barbecue sauce. It was sweet and tangy, which was really good. I am more of a spicy barbecue person. I don't know if they had any since I didn't ask, but that would be my only consideration having a spicy barbecue sauce. I would definitely go again and try one of their sandwiches and other sides as well so definitely if you're in the area I would go check them out because they are really good barbecue.

    Brisket: 4 Ribs: 3 Turkey: 3 Jalapeño queso sausage: 3 Mac n Cheese: 4 Mexican rice: 3 Overall = 3. Solid spot. If you lived in the town, I could see why you'd come. If you venture out, many other options to prioritize and frequent.

    Fat and black ends

    I ordered a brisket Sando and had favor pick it up and run it over to me. I paid $18 for the sandwich and $6 for delivery. This is the amount of brisket that isn't fat or have the black ends. It tastes good but I use sweet baby rays sauce instead of theirs. Just wish so much wasn't fat or blackened.

    Not your average queso! Yum!

    We were staying with friends in Kyle and had plans to get a more well-known named bbq in Austin but we woke up late and were too impatient. Best impatient outcome ever! I've waited for 6 hours for Snows BBQ and traveled all over Texas to tiny towns and cities alike in seek of brisket and jalepeño sausage. (and unfortunately, I've eaten bbq in other states who claim to have bbq--lies). But, this was in my and my spouse's top 5. Some of my other favs are Stanley's (Tyler), Desert Oak (EP), Salt Lick (austin). Totally unexpected and a complete joy. Brisket, like butter. Homemade bun worth an extra (erm or 5) miles of running. The house made pickled onions and cucumbers were the perfect addition to cut the rich butter, I mean brisket sandwich. You can get lean or regular for those wondering. Our only complaint is that we don't like sweet sauce and theirs was a bit sweet. I like more pepper. However, my sandwich didn't need sauce, so no biggie. But also I really love sauce so this is my plea to them to make a spicy or more peppery sauce as a 2nd sauce option. Love love love! 200 stats Omg how did I forget to tell you--Get the queso. Just do it. No hem hawing. Just do it.

    Turkey sandwich

    The stars: Angus brisket, Smoked Turkey sandwich, pulled pork potato and creamy Mac n cheese!! The sidekicks: the bread slices were good toasted, the bbq sauce was tasty, and the pickles and onions on the side sealed the deal. They lost a star because Mexican rice and corn salsa was just awful. Like nobody ate it. They both had way too much seasoning or something. I usually love both items from other places but not this time. Aside from that - delicious bbq and we will be back!!

    Man, Louie's is our favorite BBQ place. The BBQ is dependably delicious. It's not far off of Franklins for a flavor profile. They then also do unique specials like Burn Ends, giant ribs, Nachos, and baked potatoes. Louie's isn't flashy but they don't have a 3 hour line, the workers are friendly and they always treat our family well. Plus they have giant tea and limeade to wash it all down.

    My husband and I initially wanted another well-known BBQ Asian fusion restaurant to cater our…read morewedding and were pretty set on it. But after our guest list grew, we had to move locations and our venue was no longer within their catering vicinity. I searched high and low for different vendors that fit the fusion that we wanted, but couldn't find anything that fit just right (or that didn't break the bank). Then I somehow stumbled across Rebel Catering on Google. They had a wide variety of packages for food varying from Asian, to bbq, to Mexican. They didn't have a ton of reviews, and it seemed like they mostly did corporate events, but I gave them a call. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive of how incredibly chill Rahul is at first (because I was already stressed out), but when I told him about our vision, he immediately checked with his chefs and created an incredible menu for us. My mom and mother in law's primary request was copycats of the other restaurant's corn fritters, and he even delivered on that. I'll attach a picture of the menu, but our minds were blown at the quality and freshness of the food. Buffet style brisket is HARD and he and his team crushed it. I even had friends with allergies and he accommodated them without question. The most popular part of the night though was the shaved ice. Part of Rebel Catering is their shaved ice package with alcoholic shaved ice (TABC bartender included). They had custom flavors to match our Asian fusion theme, and even brought their truck in to serve our guests! They also created a custom flavor named after our cat and created a sign with a cute cartoon of him. They also had tons of other drinks including sodas, jelly drinks, boba drinks, and energy drinks. TLDR: HIRE REBEL CATERING. Your guests will love you forever.

    Rahul and his team were amazing. Communication was excellent throughout the planning stages for our…read morewedding. We received so many compliments on the food! The addition of the shaved ice station was such a fun and unique touch that our guests absolutely loved. Highly recommend!

From the moment you take your first bite, it's clear that Stephanie, the owner of The Daily Spread, knows exactly what she's doing. The creamy, cheesy layers of chicken, tortillas, and a rich blend of flavors are perfectly balanced. The homemade ranch sauce adds just the right amount of tang, while the chicken is tender and perfectly seasoned. It's a nostalgic dish for my wife and I, yet elevated in a way that only someone with Stephanie's culinary expertise could pull off. What stands out the most, though, is the care and attention Stephanie pours into every dish. You can taste the love in the food, and it's why I make the drive every year. The King Ranch Chicken isn't just a meal; it's an experience--a comforting, satisfying one that you'll crave long after your plate is empty. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab a serving next time you're in the area. It's a true testament to Stephanie's passion for cooking and her dedication to creating quality, comforting food.

Due to the holidays I was having a hard time getting response from several other caterers. Stephanie was all over it. Very responsive, and informative...even as she was about to be on vacation. On her return she reached out to finalize the details. Stephanie was there, personally, to make sure our event went off without a hitch. She showed up exactly on time everyday. The food was exactly as ordered and there was a lot of it. Was it good? Day one, all the main dishes were gone and when there were extras I had people taking to-go plates at the end of the day. I think we hit all the challenges, vegetarian, gluten free, I don't like pork so I want other options, I hate mushrooms. Stephanie was there to help. Everyday was a different offering and variety was a key factor. When we come back to Austin, you can bet Daily Spread will be the first call we make.

I submitted a request on Monday, Jon told me that they were booked but could arrange a drop off and asked for a good time to speak on the phone. We spoke on Tuesday, and although he could not offer what he originally mentioned (appetizers, buffet etc), I was thankful and more than happy to accept the grazing table option. He stated that he would send me an estimate Wednesday. I received an estimate on Wednesday at 10:20 pm, which I accepted. This morning (Thursday), Jon replied that he would confirm everything with his chef and send me an invoice later. At 8:20 pm this evening, I got an email saying that Food Addiction would not be able to accommodate my event. I completely understand the last minute nature of my request but this company should've either turned me down immediately, or at least communicated this earlier in the day (phone call would've been nice). All of the other businesses Jon suggested were already closed for the day. In our communications, Jon tells me that I'm the very first person that their company has cancelled on. With only 3 reviews, I find that very hard to believe. I recommend considering an established local company with better business practices and communication for your event and avoiding Food Addiction at all costs.
