Austin Cafe Radio Coffee Is Opening a New Location in East Austin | Eater Austin
"I learned that Shortwave Diner began as the house food truck at the South Lamar Radio location in 2022 and serves an American diner-style menu that Radio Rosewood plans to build on for expanded breakfast, dinner, and plated offerings." - Nadia Chaudhury
Went for a quick meal with my coffee from Radio. Friendly guy working the stand solo. Ordered burger which came with fries. Immediate thought was the burger came out decent, with solid toppings and buns but the seasoning was too salty. Fries were also average.

Delicious food, but you'll have to wait a while for it! We went today around 10 am and waited for about 25 mins for avocado toast and chicken and waffles. It's on the property of Radio Coffee, so at least you can have coffee while you wait.

Online ordering is pretty messy with this place. 20% minimum gratuity (no custom amount allowed) or no tip at all. The add-ons section is mandatory for some reason on the breakfast sandwich, so we couldn't order the sandwich as listed on the menu without paying for extra add-ons. The parfait is tasty but a little overpriced for the size. We've had the burgers before and they're pretty good but this place definitely has some growing pains that need to be addressed.

One of the best thing I have ever eaten!! I never write reviews but omg was this delectable. I would drive 30 min any day to get this breakfast sandwhich. IT WAS SO GOOD!

This is not a diner. It is a food truck. You will be eating outside in 102 degree temps unless you are able to snag one of the (very limited) tables inside the coffeehouse. Just be aware of what you're getting into.

20% mandatory gratitude is not ok and the guy that handed us the food wasn't even nice so mandatory gratitude was even more annoying. And worst, food was so mediocre. Burger mahhh, fries- too salty. Total 2 burgers 1 fries was $40.
After today's experience, I would not go back.

We ordered a hotdog , smash burger and fries! Everything was excellent . Nicely seasoned and we only waited 15-20 minutes on a Wednesday afternoon before thanksgiving . Also for the Karen’s complaining about the 20% tip please stay home .

I had the smash burger and it was easily one of the better burgers I’ve had. Love that fries were included too! Everything came out quickly and a good temp. The guy (brown hair + tattoos) that took my order was really friendly, even brought the food over to the table. 10/10 would recommend.
