Lard Have Mercy

Went last night. The guys on the truck were super nice & friendly. The fried food I had was delicious. The portion sizes were amazing for the price. The food was not greasy at all! I recommend whether you go before the bar or after. Def a stop in East Austin!

Do you ever have a meal that you have to instantly review because it was epic? Well that and/ or you may go into cardiac arrest! This was that meal. Deep fried goodness has me feeling like singing praises. Lard have mercy! Can I get an amen? How about a hallelujah? Stop by and get taken to culinary church! So, can I get a witness. I must confess that I had the boom chika Wow Wow (chicken tenders) and fries!I even got a free deep fried twinkle for checking in on good old yelp. It was well worth paying for. Decadent and creamy with a crisp bite to it unlike at other spots. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the twinkie. The owner, added some strawberry sauce, which was a good recommendation. Nice, delicious, and good quantities at a good price, owner operated and big red. You don't need coca cola or dp or that trendy Dublin crap when you have big red and orange. Oh how I enjoyed this. Lard, have mercy!Love at first bite! Lard, have mercy!!!! Say it again!***disclaimer review contains excessive exclamations.!!!

Chris, the owner, is a young man who knows how to run a business. The menu is short and simple. He was open in talking to me about his food truck business and just a friendly guy. He was partially out of chicken to make a full order and sold it to me at a discount off full price. The chicken tenders and fries were great and servings were much larger than I'm expected to getting from food trucks. I expect him to do well in the future.P.S. Drinks are just $1

Seriously. Great meal. Had the Juicy Lucy bacon burger and my wife had the Boom Chicka Wow Wow chicken strips. Topped it off with the Bebop Chips fried pickles. Chris the owner nailed it. He's a great guy and you can tell he really puts the effort in every meal. Just stop by behind the UT Co-Op and try it out. You won't regret it.

I must applaud the effort but Lard Have Mercy is still a work in progress. The Porky's Revenge (chicken fried bacon!!!) was pretty inedible, even though it was deep fried bacon. Three Little Pigs (fried mac 'n cheese balls!!) tasted more like meatballs than mac 'n cheese. The Oh My Oreo's! were pretty good but, c'mon, it's hard to mess up a deep fried Oreo.Three stars because the guys in the trailer were SO nice and while I didn't try it, a buddy loved his Juicy Lucy burger.

Chris the cooL dude/CuLinary MasterClassFried Oreos, burgers-bacon. Stop reading this review & run to this glorious heaven of delectable delight!

This place is crazy good, you just have to try it for yourself, don't just take my word for it. So I got the Foghorn Leghorns (i.e. bacon wrapped chicken strips) and they were fried to perfection; also, the jalapeno ranch that comes with them is delish. The flavor was really great, although I tasted more flavor from the bacon than the chicken, I'm not complaining. I also had the Three Little Pigs, which are the deep fried mac 'n' cheese balls. These puppies are anything but little! They're huge and the tomato sauce that comes on them is surprisingly good. I say "surprisingly" because when I think deep fried mac 'n' cheese, I think of the Fried Holy Mac from Pluckers, and I eat those with the ranch or chutney, not tomato sauce, but this guy at the food trailer pulls it off nicely.Literally everything on the menu looked appetizing, I can't wait to go back to try more of it, you just really need to check it out for yourself.

Pretty decent monte cristo sandwich; just not off-the-charts like Hey, You Gonna Eat or What's monte cristo. But be wary if you're one of the first customers of the day, because the oil might not be hot enough to cook the sandwich properly!

This place is pretty good! I visted this trailer about a month ago with my husband and we had to try the Juicy Lucy!! I've seen this burger on TV, but wasn't expecting it to be this damn good!! Wow!! My husband couldn't even finish it all, but I could!! Ass load of meat with cheese inside of it and fully loaded, Good Times!!! Not to mention, the french fries are cut fresh to order!! For a one man show, our order was out in no time. I give this 5 stars because of the great customer service, quick service and just an all around great vibe!!

Lard Have Mercy is one of the best food trucks in Austin, hands down. In my opinion; best app is the Foghorn Leghorns (bacon wrapped chicken skewers with jalapeno ranch), best entrées are the Juicy Lucy (burger with bacon flavored fries...come hungry) and the Three Little Pigs (mac'n cheese with bacon, rolled up and panko fried with a bed of marinara and a topping of parsley and parmesan cheese), and the best dessert is the Oh My Oreo (fried oreos with chocolate drizzle) just BARELY beating out the Hollaback Girl (deep fried banana with strawberry drizzle and powdered sugar topping). Happy eating!This is the TL;DR version because my actual review couldn't fit.
