JABS — Restaurant in Austin

JABS Burgers & Fries, in Austin’s Rainey Street Historic District, is the perfect “spot” for taking care of that late night crave after an evening of shenanigans and adult imbibing. This food truck is still open when many area kitchens are closing up. Forgot to eat? Need more? This is it! They tend to keep it simple here with just a few menu items; not surprisingly, all burgers, along with seasoned fries, and a small selection of soft drinks. I ordered the OG, a double patty smash burger with American cheese, pickles, grilled onions, and JABS sauce on a potato bun. This, along with their seasoned fries, cost me about $14 plus tax. The JABS truck is parked in front of The Stay Put on Rainey Street. There is plenty of outdoor seating here in conjunction with the pub. I waited maybe 7 or 8 minutes for my order to be ready, telling me that, unlike a lot of fast food places, the burgers here are cooked to order, not pre-cooked and stacked to the side waiting. In case you’re curious - I Googled it for you - JABS is a tongue-in-cheek acronym meaning “Just Another Burger Spot”. Very much...

Absolutely amazing burger and fries. I woke up today craving this burger I got last night. Last night my man was hungry after the club and was looking around and this food truck seemed promising. I wasn’t really hungry so I wasn’t gonna get anything. The man before us in line said this is the type of burger where I’d be begging to have his whole burger even if I initially said I wasn’t hungry. He convinced us to get the KO instead of the OG which we initially wanted to get. Didn’t expect much from this truck and it was a good wait to get the food. But once we got the food, my mind was blown by how amazing the burger and fries was!! I was sober and told my man this is the type of burger that would bring you back to life after drinking. Our mind was blown every bite we took. The fries are crispy and just different from your average fries. The burger was a sloppy hot mess. I woke up this morning craving their burger and fries. Long story short, just get...

St Paddy’s Day 2024 @ 9:45pm on a Sunday, and hungry. Every restaurant we went to happened to be closing down their kitchen. Only option was the food truck food court on Rainey St. My girl is a picky eater, so burgers are a safe bet. I purchased something more exotic, at a different food truck, for my sophisticated palette. I was enjoying my food for a few minutes before she got her burger and fries. I snagged a couple of her fries while she was taking the first bite of her burger. I wanted to tell her how good her fries are, but i was chewing. She wanted to tell me how good her burger was, but she was chewing. So our wide eyes just locked until she said was able to say “Burger is amazing” and I responded with “If you think that burger is good, wait until you try the fries” ( and dipping sauce ). We both agreed that we just enjoyed the best burger and the best fries we both have ever had. Bonus: she didn’t have to hear me mention...
