Rollin' Smoke BBQ is open until 4 am everyday. After a night of bar hopping around Austin, we stopped here for some late night munchies. My friend & I shared the Playboy sandwich, consisting of beef brisket, pulled pork, and pork sausage. Just wow. The meat was grilled until tender. It was juicy, and the barbecue sauce made it even better. This sandwich was a little sweet, savory, juicy, & messy. My mouth is watering as I speak. read more

It's not bad, but nothing that I'm so excited about that I'd go back. It's overpriced, the guy we were waited on the night we went wasn't all that friendly. We do our best to avoid all the "hipster" spots, as they usually greatly disappoint, but I love BBQ and it seemed to have great ratings. The banana pudding, although tasty, was ridiculously priced at $3 for this teeny cup of band pudding. Come on y'all! I'm just over the whole "hip cool spots" and their overpriced fare that are inundating the east side. :( read more

The guy who was working at the truck when I went was super friendly and nice. My boyfriend loved his pulled pork so he took me back here to try it. I got a brisket taco. It was pretty darn good. A bit on the small side but the brisket was tender and the sauce was flavorful. Would definitely make it a mission to hit up this truck again when I'm in town again. read more

Pros: Open late I pulled up to Rollin Smoke BBQ around midnight because I was craving some BBQ, this was the only spot around the area open so late. I got the playboy and the special of the day which was the bbq mac & cheese. Overall the playboy was good, not anything to write home about. The mac & cheese wasn't bad but pretty dry. I think a few other people mentioned this but it was pretty hard and dry. The playboy is filling though. You get to try a variety of the meats that Rollin Smoke offers. Good stop if this is the only spot open late at night. If this isn't your only choice I'd cruise onto somewhere else around here. Plenty of choices. read more

I just had a ridiculously awesome "slider" at Rollin Smoke. It was epic. It is called a slider, but it is actually your choice of meet and sauce stuffed in between four mini kings Hawaiian rolls. I got the mix of sausage and pork. Both were amazing, but I think the sausage had even more flavor. There's really not much more to say. Their menu is rather limited and everything you get is made of one or two meats. Too bad they didn't have brisket today.... I will be back! read more

I went on a bike and brews tour and this was one of the stops. I was determined to eat as much BBQ and tacos as I could while in Austin and this place has the perfect combo of the two! I had a pulled pork taco and the tortillas were delicious and the taco had so much flavor. Definitely recommend. There's also a cool dive bar across the street called La Perla thats home of the Ar-modello. read more

Outstanding first experience. Rollin Smoke is a small, no-frills trailer that smokes some delicious meat. The menu is right-sized and the options are reasonably priced. Plan to spend between 15 and 20 dollars for some meat, a side, a drink, and a tip. The Playboy, a three-meat sandwich, was too tempting to pass on - so, I ordered that along with a side of smoked mac and cheese (amazing) and a Topo to sip on. There isn't a combination of adjectives that could adequately describe just how sincerely good this sandwich is - Amazing AF. There are a couple shaded benches to enjoy your meal at, but probably not enough space for a large group of twelve or more. The trailer runs a generator that adds to the noise level - but, it's certainly not annoying enough to stay away from the smoked deliciousness. If you're kickin' it around the east side and want some smoked meat to eat, I'd highly recommend Rollin Smoke. And, no two-hour wait - well, yet anyway. read more

BBQ GOLDMINE!! When my husband says it's the best damn brisket he's ever had it's too bad there isn't 10 STARS to select!! We were just passing through and found this legit spot!We weren't very hungry but couldn't pass up the delicious smell good stirring around in the air. Mr. G had a brisket taco that had a mound of meat, pickles and onions topped with Bullet Bourbon sauce. The brisket pulled apart, as it should, a nice smoke ring and was perfectly seasoned. But let's go back to the BULLET BOURBON BBQ SAUCE YELPERS!! Heck yes you've got to have it! I don't eat meat as of April and we've had our share BBQ together so I trust my husband knows what phenomenal BBQ is supposed to taste like. For any of you vegetarians out there, they serve a beautiful smokey mushroom taco with a handful of red cabbage, pickles and onion with a nice spicy BBQ sauce. The taco shell is a soft homemade like flour tortilla to hold all the goodness together - you won't be disappointed. Mr. G had some of the mushrooms and said it was delicious. I think there's a market for smoked BBQ for the vegetarian and vegan community... (cough - hint hint!) The Finish... BANANA EFF'ING PUDDING VERRRY VERRRY DELICIOUS! Get some! It's a perfect fluffy mousse/pudding, not too bananay so you know it's a naturally flavored pudding. The whipped cream on top - perfectly sweetened with vanilla wafer crumble!!! To make this the way I'd make it implode... the bananas inside were scarce and I'd like more wafer crumble to add to more bites. That's just me being a dessert eating queen. :) Hospitality is here. Flavors are here. Full stomachs can get made here! Thank you, Kyle, for your vision and perfect execution! read more

I seriously can't say enough about this place! Where do I begin? -Well first off the employees are very nice and really cool. -Second, and most important, the food is AMAZING! Yes, I am from Texas so when I find a great BBQ place I tend to stick with it. Rudy's IS NOT Texas BBQ. I literally had to prove this to someone from the North (Chicago to be exact). He thought Rudy's was the greatest thing ever, that is until I introduced him to Rollin' Smoke. I mean even the name sounds like a great time! -The sauce is worth every drop, seriously try it! You'll find it more disappointing that you wasted the extra sauce on the white comforter that you could have savored with your taste buds instead of actually being disappointed that you ruined the comforter. -I literally craved the brisket sandwich so badly that I drove from Houston to Austin just to get a $9 sandwich.

We were visiting from out of town in August and wanted to try good bbq without standing in line for hours so I did a little bit on research where to get some good bbq elsewhere. The Rolling Smoke BBQ Food truck was just a short walk from our Airbnb but let me tell you it would have been worth a walk of hours. We had sausage and brisket. The meat was just perfect!! We also had smoked Mac and cheese and coleslaw. OMG! The MAC and Cheese is nothing that I've ever tasted before. So, so good! The coleslaw was spicy with lots of jalapeños but also with a sweet kick. I wish I could go back to Austin right now, only for the food! I also had a badass banana pudding for desert. My mouth is watering as I'm writing this review. read more

Total surprise of my Austin trip. I was walking down 6th st. and spotted this BBQ truck. I wasn't particularly hungry at the time but man that smell was alluring. I decided to go with my nose and check out what they had to offer. It looked like brisket and sausage were their primary offerings so I went with a brisket sandwich. I was blown away how good their brisket was. My wife who is not the biggest carnivore around also loved it and ended up eating a good portion of my sandwich plus ordered the smoked mac and cheese which was a special of the day.

Came in around 7:30pm and they were sold out of a couple of meats but we were still able to snag some brisket and pork ribs. Both of these blew us away! The brisket was so moist and tender, and the BBQ sauce was just chef's kiss paired with it. The pork ribs were also super tasty and the meat just peeled off the bone so easily.

Excellent BBQ in a no frills setting. Served out of a trailer in a car park, this is all about the BBQ and nothing else! We ordered the smoked mac n cheese, the brisket and the playboy. Mac n cheese came out first and had a good cheese to pasta balance with a lovely smokey under taste to it. The sandwiches came out soon after and we were not disappointed. The brisket was tender and had just a hint of BBQ sauce to compliment the smoked flavor. My other half really enjoy the playboy and all the various meats inside of it. The bread that came with the sandwiches held up the entire time. Really enjoyed the food and the casual atmosphere. Would stop by again! read more

This place is the epitome of what my Dad always talked about as how to find the best BBQ: the hole in the wall/shack that you follow your nose to find and the BBQ is knock-your-socks-off good! So tender, juicy, and full of smoky goodness! I got the brisket sandwich and I asked for the spiciest sauce he made. It not only did not disappoint, it was so deliciously good that I had to lick the foil clean! He added this phenomenal salsa verde sauce on top of the brisket with BBQ sauce and the combination was fantastic! Our 5-year-old also really liked the brisket taco we got him, and he usually won't eat anything besides fries and fruit when we go out. Risa got the brisket sandwich with the special sauce. Our picky 11-year-old likes his brisket sandwich so much he went and told the guy running the food truck how much he liked it multiple times. We will definitely be making this a regular stop when we come to Austin! Next time I'm getting the Playboy Sandwich! Also, be sure to ask what the special of the day is. read more

If you are visiting Austin you come for two things... The best BBQ on earth and a riot of a good time. When it comes to quick, but delectable eats look no further! This is a place of genuine people who care about their customer experience and gift every passer by with their smoked meats. If you don't get a sandwich with a side (Mac & cheese) you are doing yourself a disservice. Rolling Smoke maintains a highly respectful and geographically accurate profile that provides each guest with a true taste of Texan BBQ. Austin is barely still the hidden gem of the US, but this remains a hidden gem within Austin. read more

Unreal brisket sandwich! $8 brisket sandwich that's made with prime grade beef is an insane deal! Slightly sweet bread, great bark on the brisket, great smoke ring, etc....great sandwich! I'm not a fan of beans or slaws, so I was happy to see mac and cheese on their menu. I know very well that texas BBQ is not normally supposed to be about the sauce, and that's not the case here; however, I would be remiss not mention theirs! He uses meat bits and drippings to make the sauce, plus he balances it out with bourbon! To me, it has a complex hickory flavor. The handful of negative reviews that I saw were complete bullshit from what I experienced. I think maybe the dudes at rolling smoke stole someone's girlfriend by dabbing that sauce behind their ears. read more

The absolute star of the show was the Street Corn Queso. Our waiter, Chris, recommended adding brisket to it, and that completely changed the game!

Pro tip: it's not officially on the menu, but definitely ask your waiter to add the brisket--you won't regret it (huge thanks to Chris!). As for the main course, the classic cheeseburger was humongous and super juicy, served alongside fries that were delightfully airy and crispy. While the bun was a bit underwhelming, it was still a very satisfying burger overall. Portion sizes here are huge across the board, so definitely come with a big appetite or plan on taking home leftovers! Highly recommended.

We started with the fried green tomatoes. They didn't quite beat the unforgettable ones from The Front Porch Cafe at Dollywood, but they were still tasty and we happily finished them. I ordered the 2-piece dark meat while my cousin got the 2-piece white meat, both with baked beans, slaw, and white bread. The baked beans and slaw were both satisfyingly delicious. When my plate arrived with a thigh and two legs, I thought I had ordered wrong! Our wonderful server, Kamber, explained that the legs were especially small that day, so they have to serve two instead. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and delicious, and I loved learning they use peanut oil. The fresh, natural quality definitely came through. And placing the white bread underneath the chicken? Brilliant--it soaks up the extra oil! Service was fast, friendly, and efficient even though it was a busy Friday lunch hour. Amber was great about answering our questions and regularly checked up on us. She even introduced us to their homemade Chess pie--a classic rich southern custard dessert pie--which we were too full to try this time, next time for sure. We'll be back, especially since there's another location in San Antonio. Next visit, I'm coming hungry for the fried okra, mac & cheese, and seasoned fries! Just wish they also have corn on the cob and corn bread as other sides options. Southern fried chicken craving: officially satisfied.

For fifteen people, the total cost was $425.69. This included delivery costs and taxes, but no tip. It consisted of three meats, two sides, and a dessert along with pickles, onions, bread, and BBQ sauce. There was also a set of utensils delivered, but plates were forgotten, but not a big deal. Brisket - This was definitely the best item eaten of the day. It was tender and juicy while adding the BBQ sauce giving that extra bite. The BBQ sauce was great regardless, a little bit of sweet and smoky flavor going on. Pulled Pork - This was another solid meat choice. I did not think it was as tender as the brisket, but it was still enjoyable especially with that BBQ sauce, which was key throughout the meal. Sausage - This was not bad. The snap on this threw me off a little, but it was not too bad. They were large links and had plenty of flavor. Gouda Mac & Cheese with Smoked Bacon - This was actually penne pasta with little pieces of the bacon. I actually preferred this pasta choice here. It really soaked up the cheese sauce. The sauce was not too over powerful and was just right. Beans with Smoked Bacon - These were not too bad. I thought they were a little liquidity, but the added bacon pieces definitely helped. Banana Pudding - This came in individual cups, which was nice. The pudding was thick with a little meringue or whipped cream present and a few wafer cookies on top. It was a satisfying ending to a very good meal. Will I go back? Yes.

I come eat at Rollin Smoke at least once a week, sometimes more. Not only is the food delicious but you don't have to wait in long lines and the people are great. Kyle and his team know what they are doing and you can taste the care they put into the food. There's no shortcuts taken here. My favorites are the pork ribs (always juicy and smokey with a hint of sweet heat) and the pork belly burnt ends, both of which are the best in Austin area by far IMO. I rarely get brisket anymore bc I kind of got burnt out on it because it used to be all I wanted (blasphemy I know) but every time I try my wife's (see always wants it) it's top notch. All of the sides are quite good as well, with my favorites being the smoked mac n cheese and the jalapeno coleslaw. Sundays at Rollin Smoke are a treat for the special carnitas and barbacoa quesotacos. Honestly one of the top tacos in all of Austin. read more

Rolling Smoke occupies a food truck in a fixed spot on East 6th, which makes it perfect for late night jaunts and cravings. Feeling like some BBQ without the line around the corner? Had a few local brews and need some savory snacks (or even some sweeet ones like smoked cobbler, yum!), Rolling Smoke has got you covered. It is BBQ which means it's going to be more costly than your other food truck options, but it hits the spot when you need a late night fix for your meat-tooth and it's conveniently located as a stop during a bar crawl. read more

This place is fantastic, I've never waited and the staff is awesome. Their barbecue is authentic Texas style but they also keep it experimental with things like beef cheek and pork belly burnt ends. Being from Kansas City, they even hooked me up with some KC style brisket burnt ends. Their sauces are all unique and tasty, one original sweet, whisky and then a vinegary one that's better on chicken. Overall, I'd much rather head here on a weekend with no line than sit at another place for over an hour waiting on food. read more

The staff was friendly and knew their stuff. They mentioned the menu rotates often, so what's on today might not be there next time. Small batch, small menu, but worth it. The truck was set up at the brewery, so there's plenty of seating--inside, shaded, or in the sun--and drinks come from the brewery itself.

The pulled duck was an absolute showstopper. It was incredibly moist and tender that it basically melted like butter when I ate it. And with the chicharrón, it was absolutely excellent. I actually cried. Don't judge me but I literally cried. - Sliced Brisket: Your run of the mill brisket with both moist and dry portions. Not a standout by any means but still great. - Pimento Mac and Cheese: MUST TRY! My favorite side and one that I am now recommending to anyone that will let me tap about it. The creaminess of the cheese sauce was perfectly balanced with an explosion of robust creole flavors. I actually think it might be the best in the city. - Cream Corn Maque Choux: A nice soulful blend of that creole based seasoning that is a nice answer/touch away from terry blacks sweet cream corn. Highly recommend. Other Things to Know - They have two sauces that you can try. I recommend their tabasco vinegar red sauce which they say they make with a strawberry purée. The creole mustard is good but the red sauce is so unique and flavorful. - The pickles are also a really surprising stand out as well. If you are a pickle lover, you will absolutely adore these. Service/Experince - Parish runs a food truck that runs outside of Austin Beerworks back area. - Something to consider is that it did not have an awning when we first came here and during the Austin summer that was a big deal. We could t stay outside for more than 4-5 minutes but luckily the buzzers they give you can reach the inside of the Beerworks. - The staff was extremely friendly and were willing to chat through all of the different ways they make their food, sauces and etc. I really appreciated their kindness as I talked their ear off about food in Austin haha. - The area where the trailer sits was under construction when we first went so it was a little dusty with construction signs everywhere, but that never deterred me from a good meal!!

This unassuming food truck tucked inside Radio Coffee packs way above its weight when it comes to flavor and savoriness. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu but my personal favorite is the brisket, egg & cheddar biscuit sandwich. The brisket is smoky and flavorful, while the homemade biscuit makes the whole thing next-level. If you have more of a sweet and savory preference, they also offer strawberry and blueberry jam options that pair surprisingly well with the sausage and pork belly. They have traditional BBQ plates as well, but you'd be crazy to come here and skip the homemade biscuits. The one downside is the price. You're definitely paying a premium, with a biscuit sandwich easily pushing $20 but the quality is there. They also offer convenient online ordering which makes it easy to skip the wait. Come to Radio for the coffee, but stay for the BBQ breakfast at Briscuits, you definitely won't be disappointed!

At first, I thought I wouldn't order --- my phone had minimal service, but thankfully the Food Truck Lot seems to offer public Wi-Fi. After placing my order via QR Code on the Food Truck, I waited about 10-12 minutes for my order. As soon as it came out, I immediately opened it and was pleasantly surprised. 2 fluffy biscuits, drowned with that amazing southern gravy --- and the pièce de résistance --- the amazing, thick slice of brisken on top. My review: Honestly? Mind-blowing. The biscuits were fluffy, huge, yet light --- the gravy was stick-to-your-bones, and the brisket, tbh ---- was one of the best briskets I've had during my stint in Austin. YES, EVEN BETTER THAN SOME PIT-MASTER STOPS. The brisket itself was thick, moist, tender, soft, amazing crust and smoke-ring. The reason why it's not 5 stars is exactly for this reason: it is so rich, it is so filling, it becomes too much, too quickly. They definitely need another dimension. Some raw red onion, some pickled red onion, candied jalapenos --- something to cut through the richness of the dish as a whole. DON'T GET IT TWISTED, I ENJOYED IT THOROUGHLY. However, I didn't feel the best after biscuit.gravy.briscuit without another element breaking apart the richness of said dish. Overall, totally recommend the dish BRISCUITS & Gravy. I get the hype.
