My Granny’s Kitchen

Great home cooked food. Everything was wonderful and so fresh! Will definitely be back!

I had the baked chicken and rice with a side of green beans and it was delicious! I chose white meat and it was super tender and juicy. I appreciated the fact that there were a lot of gluten free options that were clearly marked. I eat gluten but the little boy I watch does not so this was very helpful. The only recommendation I have is to possibly team up with the other trucks to do something about the flies. They were so bad we ended up moving to the car to finish our meal. Can’t wait to try the other dishes!

Excellent if you are looking for a southern home cooked meal! The chicken and rice was amazing. I cannot wait to go back and try some of their other entrées. Yum!

GET THE PORK CHOPS! So tender and delicious, and the cornbread and Mac n cheese are soul food perfection!

This truck comes to the office building at the arboretum every other week during lunchtime. I usually get the beef tips on rice with green beans and greens. So delicious! The beef is tender soaked in savory gravy. The greens are cooked with turkey bits and give them a great flavor, not bitter at all. They even have Louisiana hot sauce and hot pepper sauce if you want that extra spice and I recommend it! The owners are always friendly and you can tell it makes them happy to see that people enjoy their food. Give Granny’s a try! You won’t be disappointed

This food truck was recommended by a coworker, so we decided to check it out. Glad we did, the chicken and waffles were delicious! The chicken had a great flavor and they were super tender. We also tried the meatloaf with the greens and this was great as well. We will definitely be coming back.

Me and my friend just moved down the street and finally decided to go to the food truck park and came across this beauty. Granny was so polite and all smiles and she was prompt in taking our order.
We both got the smothered pork chops and rice with Mac n cheese and a sweet tea. MY GOODNESS, those pork chops were so tender and the gravy was nice and spicy but not too «hot.»
The mac n cheese, though… WAS AMAZING. Literally the best Mac I had ever had and it was piping hot and freshly made. Super creamy with the perfect amount of cheesy-​ness.
And finally, the sweet tea. If you’re like me, which I rarely find people are, you will like your sweet tea… not tooooooo sweet. So I loved it. My friend didn’t as much.
Over all ¹⁰⁄₁₀

These guys just started coming to my work. I’m debating really hard on whether or not to give them three or four stars…
I had the chicken and dumplings with green and mac n cheese. It comes with yummy cornbread! The mac and cheese was AMAZING. Loved it. The greens were really good too. I wasn’t sure what to expect of them as I’ve never had them before but they were peppery and soft without being mushy and I would definitely eat them again. ⁵⁄₅ stars
Here’s were my issues come in. I wasn’t expecting the texture of the dumplings but it was really well seasoned and it was tasty. I got over it and ate it anyway. Still a ⁴⁄₅ stars
The peach cobbler I was really looking forward to. Cobbler is usually fruit with a bread or crumble topping. They served me a bowl that looked like soup with mushy pie crust at the bottom. *tears* The peaches themselves were delicious, soft and cinnamony and not over cooked. It was literally a crime that they were drowned in sauce and the crust was so unappetizing after being soaked. No mush for me please. ²⁄₅ (if the peaches weren’t so good I’d have said ¹⁄₅ stars)
Overall, I recommend them for their food but seriously, just skip dessert and have it somewhere else. You’ll be happier. As for me? I’m hoping they will start serving their chicken and waffles during the week cause I really want some! It looks really good :)

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, THIS PLACE. The woman working at the truck was super awesome and a lovely soul. The food was bomb! I had the smothered pork chop & rice with green beans and macaroni and I fell in love with this spot.

This fabulous food truck is parked at a new spot in South Austin called The Thicket between William Cannon and Ditmar. I’ve heard that you have to have the chicken and waffles so I did and it was awesome! Breading on the chicken is amazing and the waffles are the perfect texture to go with it. Generous portions but I managed to scarfed it all up! We also ordered the beef tips with seasoned rice, also cleaned the plate. We had macaroni and cheese that was so good we had to order a second helping. So so good!

Please update your business hours. Unilocal says you’re open til 230am, but you’re definitely closed at 1045pm. Got excited for some good food after getting off, but big let down. Will try it another time.

For a quick lunch food truck, so so good!
I ordered the beef tips with a side of green beans. It came out so fast, so bonus points for that! The beef tips were super tender and perfectly seasoned and so comforting on this cold January day. The rice was also perfect. I got the seasoned rice by special request (it’s usually served on white) and it’s a stand alone. It was a bit of a shame to put beef sauce on it. The green beans were also good but better with Louisiana Hot Sauce on it –which they have outside the trailer. I’ll be watching for them from now on.

Went out for lunch today with no plan in mind, but boy did I get lucky finding this truck parked a couple blocks away. Stony’s was also holed up in the same spot, but one look at the menu said I had to sample this new Southern fare. There was a decent line too — always a good sign.
You get a great vibe from this place right away. The truck has a bright, appealing look, and the staff seem very friendly and get the orders out fast. Wasn’t sure what to order, so I asked the woman at the register for her recommendation, and she pointed me toward the chicken and dumplings. Well, don’t mind if I do.
Holy mother of god, this dish was absolutely delicious. I love a well-​made chicken and dumplings but haven’t found many places that even offer it. But here, they get it darn near perfect and I fell for it in about 30 seconds. The chicken was fall-​off-​the-​bone tender (but thankfully, no bones to be found). The dumplings had excellent consistency — not the best I’ve had but more than tasty enough. And the soup/​sauce was straight-​up awesome, with a great herb flavor (with some bay leaves thrown in for good measure) that tied the whole dish together perfectly. I’m a sucker for black-​eyed peas so I got that as a side. They were well seasoned and a great addition. They also throw in a piece of cornbread, which is crumbly and sweet, but not overly so. Man, what a heavenly meal to interrupt a dull workday.
IMO, Austin is a little short on good Southern cuisine. Hoover’s aside, I haven’t found much to write home about. So if you love comfort food, and love it you should, then this place is a must-​try. The portions are huge and well-​priced, only $ 9 for my giant entrée and side. I’m hunting them back down as soon as possible to try the meatloaf.

Adorable little soul food truck! I had it for the first time today and I asked the lady working the truck for a suggestion. She recommended the chicken and dumplings saying «well when’s the last time you had chicken and dumplings honey» (add the perfect southern drawl). She was right, I hadn’t had chicken and dumplings anywhere outside of a can in years. Now it may have been my nostalgia, or the fact that the food was in fact fantastic but the chicken and dumplings was done right. Perfectly seasoned, cooked just enough and warm — delicious! I got the Mac and cheese as my side and I am a Big Mac and cheese eater — this did not disappoint. It was peppered and savory. Good serving size, appropriately priced and sweet staff. I def recommend this place! :-)

I really like this food truck! They’re on a schedule with our office and come every other week. They offer more than the typical trailer food fare (I am so. over. mexasian. fusion.) and really do offer entrees and sides my granny used to make. The baked chicken is good, but my favorite is the chicken and dumplings. It’s especially delicious when she comes on a rainy day!
They offer a variety of sides including green beans, greens, mac and cheese, and sweet potatoes. I really like the collards, especially with the added hot sauce. It’s $ 11 for an entrée and two sides, but the portions are HUGE, I usually get two meals out of it. Overall I’m really a fan of this place, though some of food is really heavy and puts me in a sleepy food coma.

This fantastic little trailer was at a small shop event we went to one evening. That was all it took for me — I’m a fan!
I’m not a foodie that normally seeks out chicken & waffles (in fact it’s usually the opposite since I don’t prefer sugary dinners) but it sounded and smelled sooo good that night. I was not disappointed — it was FANTASTIC!
The medium-​sized seasoned chicken tenders (not strips, not nuggets, right in between) were perfectly matched with a not-​too-​heavy maple syrup and two waffle triangles — dense enough but not too cake-​like.
I would have taken a picture to post, but it didn’t last long enough. I ate WAY too much of it, whined about how full I was for the next two hours, and probably raved about it annoyingly until the next day.
The two employees (owners?) were nice and attempted to fill the orders quickly as there was a small rush of hungry people.
But mostly the food… the food was IT. If you’ve got amazing food and good service, you’re a yes in my book. I would definitely eat the chicken and waffles again — should probably try something else too…

Dang that’s awesome food! Meatloaf: dense (no fillers) and nicely peppered. Mac: more pepper but not too much with unique cheese. Beans: yum. Cornbread: sweet. Good stuff. Nice folks too. Their trailer is in front of our building today.

Dining on Rainey is a dying experience, with all of the high rises going up, the bars being constricted with increasingly limited parking, and well… not much room to expand, at the most basic level.
The veggie options span the Southern Kingdom, with black-​eyed peas and mac and cheese standing in as the faux-​veggies… well-​accustomed favorites to the meat-​and-​threes found in places called «My Granny’s Ktichen.»
Among my favorites were the collards and the sweet potatoes, often called yams in the Southern circle. Etymologically speaking, there is no difference. The greens boasted all of the soggy texture and tart bite desired, while the mushy sweets screamed of brown sugar.
MGK does not boast anything particularly special about its menu or presentation, but sometimes humble, greasy, sweet, salty food is the best food to eat when your ego is in the clouds after a few too many drinks.

I came here as part of Truck by Truck West and got to try chicken and waffles as well as fried mac and cheese.
The chicken was tasty but the waffle was kind of soggy however I came 15 minutes before closing so that might be the problem.
That being said, I’m surprised they close at 10pm on a Friday night. Surely business would be booming right around 2:10am.
Anyway, the fried mac and cheese was really great. That dish is a little too bready for me to want to ever order it somewhere but I was happy to try it, it’s the best iteration of that dish I’ve ever had and I would happily steal one from my neighbor’s plate some time in the future.
If you find yourself in the Rainey St trailer park, this is probably the best place to get a meal. Plus, the proprietor is a great personality and worth the price of admission.

Mac N’ Cheese — not the typical Mac. The cheese is not cheddar but it’s still pretty good. I nice change.
Greens — good but be warned that they aren’t seasoned. It does allow the customer the ability to add salt, pepper and hot sauce if you choose. I couldn’t eat without adding «extras» so if I were to eat onsite, I’d choose another side dish.
Beef tips — perfect just as they are.
Chicken and waffles — Driving to drive home with the awesome aroma of delicious nuggets covered in syrup may prove to be a challenge. This dish is perfect as served.
Baked chicken — this dish is pretty good and plentiful. The white meat is juicy. I opted to add just a tad of Tony C. Seasoning which gave the dish but the flavor it needed. Some may enjoy it as served.
Rating: ⁴⁄₅ …it’s almost there. Good food, nice owner, cute truck
