The Biggest Austin Restaurant Stories of 2020 | Eater Austin

"The owner’s personal social-media posts that disparaged the Black Lives Matter movement and promoted conspiracy theories about George Floyd’s death sparked an immediate local backlash: the truck saw negative Yelp reviews and calls from community groups to avoid patronizing the business, while the owner did not apologize or respond to requests for comment." - Erin Russell

Cajun Truck Beaux Seafood Truck Expands Onto East Cesar Chavez Street | Eater Austin

"A Cajun food truck run by owner Beau Hobbs, a Baton Rouge native who grew up cooking seafood and opened his first trailer in Manchaca in 2016, is now operating a second, stationary truck at Quickie Pickie in the Holly neighborhood. The truck serves Cajun-style seafood including fried oysters, crawfish hushpuppies, and fried alligator, plus rotating daily specials. Hobbs — who has 27 years in the service industry and previously worked at Maggie Mae’s and Word of Mouth Catering — hopes to eventually open a brick-and-mortar if the right investor appears and is even considering delivery options. Current hours are 11 a.m.–8 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday, and 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; the new, non-mobile location (at 2027 East Cesar Chavez Street since January) aims to capture dinner traffic and benefit from the host location’s extensive beer taps." - Erin Russell

Go get the poboy’s, slaw and hush puppies! They’re phenomenally delicious. Beaux’s BBQ shrimp is tasty too.

Got a chance to try Beaux Southern Seafood and it was a delicious trip down South. The fried catfish plate came out golden and flaky, and their jumbo shrimp po’boy with remoulade sauce was perfectly balanced. Also dug into their shrimp & grits — creamy, comforting, and full of flavor. The setting is cozy and unpretentious, which works well for this style of food. Staff were welcoming and quick to answer menu questions (especially about spice levels and daily catches). A great spot for southern seafood done right.

Today I ordered the crab cake po’ boy with a side of fries. This is exactly what gives food trucks a great name. The inside of the bread was toasted and there was a very healthy amount of crab cake. The sandwich had lettuce and tomato and a little chipotle mayor. The flavors were rich, dense, and definitely soulfully throughout. The fries were great. They had a hint of lobster flavor and just enough salt to make each bite tingle. Highly recommended!

Was not expecting this gem of a spot in our backyard. The food was incredible. We only tried the alligator poboy this round and it really blew our mind away! The french fries were also really good. Could use a little less salt PS. Otherwise absolutely try this spot. It’s incredible. As you can see we ate before Instagram did.

Y'all this is the seafood spot! This is how seafood should be done right here! We had a few different things to share and each was absolutely delicious. That coleslaw is acidic and fresh. Those hush puppies were huge and delicious and shrimp were huge and amazing! We also tried the alligator, fish and crab cake avocado and I'd recommend to give any of them a try! I'm not from Buda but it will be a go to place any time I'm in town! Great job! *clapping hands*

Delicious and reasonably priced. Loved the food, and there's a nice place to sit outside to eat. The hushpuppy in my photo already has a bite taken out because it smelled so good. We just couldn't wait. I will definitely be eating here again!

Delicious, fresh seafood and reasonable prices for large portions. I’ve been three times now and it’s becoming my go-to spot when I visit the Way South Food Truck Park. I highly recommend trying Beaux if you’re a fan of Po Boys or fish. Try the fried oysters and the coleslaw!

I'm not a big seafood person. That's more the wife and kid. But since Beaux moved to their new location off 1626 they came up in a search for close by restaurants and they wanted to try it. Great decision. We tried quite a few things. The diablos (bacon wrapped shrimp and jalapeños), crab cakes, fried shrimp box, fried gumbo box and the gumbo. All very good. Portions were excellent, and the shrimp were BIG. Like really, you can get used to the baby shrimp shrimplettes that a lot of places serve. Not here. The only minor complaint that I could come up with was that the gumbo as definitely prepped for middle of the road tastes. But they gave us some salt and seasonings to make it to our liking and it came out great. If you like seafood, definitely give them a try. If you're not big on seafood but can at least enjoy it, then treat the seafood lovers in your group here.
