So close for lunch. Don't bother with any of the stuff in the bigger food truck park across the street. This is way better. Authentic, unassuming, in a parking lot, and amazing. Real Eastside Awesome.

Get a rotisserie chicken, a frozen margarita, and those frozen custards are pretty damn good too. It was a tire shop where I used to get my tires changed, now it's got a nice back yard for a chill session

Lynn, the owner, is the best. She is old school Austin at it's finest. The Lynn's trailer is tucked away and shared a space with an art gallery called Mass, which is also run by some buddies of ours. Check out Lynn's for a yummy breakfast and help support really cool folks making really good food. Lynn's is the kind of place they're talking about with the Keep Austin Weird slogan.

You buy a glass and they fill it free. This place uses the loophole some places do to work around a quirk in the law. You leave with the glass if like. The beer is all something called sour mash, it's very good but a little different. You can sample lots of different ones.
