Mr. Sandwich

The good:This is a food truck located on the busy party street of Rainey. There is outdoor bench-style seating. They were one of the few food trucks in this area that was open during the daytime. The majority of the other options are open later at night when the bar scene is crowded. The bad:The brisket sandwich tasted mostly of just BBQ sauce and the brisket was cut up in small weird chunks. There was melted orange cheese on it that was also unappetizing. We didn't want the caramelized onions so we asked for raw onions but the cashier/cook didn't speak English so the most we could communicate was "no onions." Also, the payment machine was all in Spanish (for selecting tip, signature, etc) so you better brush up on your Spanish if you're paying by credit card! There were cigarette butts on the ground and on the tables and a homeless person hanging out at the benches as well. I ordered fries at first but they were sold out.The interesting:The sandwiches are open-faced.

We bought some burgers from the Mr. Sandwich food truck while on Rainey St. with some friends.The burgers were good and tasty. Not sure if all the burgers are always cooked well-done, but that's how ours were made (and was never asked if I wanted otherwise). Also ordered a side of fried plantains that came with a small cup of ketchup. They were harder than I was expecting, and not to salted. Next time I think I'd just order the fries. Waited at the window to order for several minutes while the guy took a phone call, then had a hard time hearing him take my order since he was still on his call and had his mask on (pandemic issues...and maybe this is where he asked how I wanted my burgers cooked?? Who knows, couldn't hear him!). Then it took awhile for the order to come out. By the time I got the food and back to our table, our friends had already purchased and eaten their food from other food trucks, so that was a bummer. Good option if you're in the food truck park. Just be prepared to spend time waiting to order and get your food. Tip: ask if you can have your burger cooked medium or medium rare. If you prefer it that way, of course.

Located in a food tuck yard on RAINEY. It was a satisfying place to grab a drunk bite to eat. It was 5:30 on a Sunday so it wasn't too busy. (4/5): OL'GOLY ($11.50): This one is protein-heavy sausage, bacon, and you get a choice of CHICKEN or BEEF or you can mix it. There sweet corn on there but you can't really taste it or see it but I love corn so I don't mind. I thought the portion was nice and it filled us up. (4/5): SURF & TURF ($12.99): We chose beef and it includes shrimp and calamari. The shrimp was big and the squid gave it an interesting texture. The quality of the sandwiches are great. The wait can be long when there are a lot of people ordering and waiting. It is definitely worth a try.

My burger patty had a bite out of it. I can't make this stuff up. Literally the most disgusting experience ever!

The selection here is quite varied and the meats and fries are cooked with a lot of delicious spices. The flavors are amazing. It's addicting. Food:The Texan fries - yummmmOpen face Mr Sandwich with avocado - delicious X burger - deliciousThe maracuya juice - good but definitely on the pricier side

Great brisket sandwich, but overall it's overpriced. The Mr. Sandwich was boring and they didn't have avocado on it like it says on the menu. The beef was way over cooked. Also, meager fries portions for $1.50

I really had to debate on what star I was going to give this place. The burger I ordered was very good, great flavor and put together almost picture perfect. The reason I took a star away was how long it took to get my burger. There was maybe 3 people who ordered in front of me so it wasn't incredibly busy or backed up, but it still took almost 30 minutes for my burger to come out. That is WAY too long to wait for a burger, especially when everyone in the group is waiting for you. I get that it's a small shop, but a wait that long was frustrating. Once the burger came out it was delicious.

Absolutely amazing... When I think of a sandwich, this is not what I think of. I think of something simple and bland to fill you up for the time being. That is FAR from what you get when you experience Mr. sandwich. I had the pleasure of eating the Surf & Turf sandwich and tried my friend's Texan French Fries... SO GOOD! The owner of Mr. Sandwich has a very service-oriented establishment and knows how to make you feel welcome. Not to mention he can COOK!!! I am big on arriving to a food truck/restaurant and looking up reviews and most importantly, pictures. I have to say, the pictures on Yelp don't give it justice. The food at this truck is fantastic and I was wishing it wasn't over. I can't wait to go back!!!

Wow, just wow!! GREAT service, even better cheeseburger, fries are addicting and I think we had to wait MAYBE 5-8 mins for our food. Overall = outstanding!!

My oh my! Hubs and I came here last night to grab a quick bite for dinner. We ordered the Texas loaded fries and the BBQ open face sandwich. Goodness is what I call it! What a great start to our weekend get away here in Austin, TX!
