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
Austin Bar and Cafe Radio Coffee & Beer Is Opening in Southeast Austin | Eater Austin
"A classic American food truck owned by the coffee-shop team; the truck will continue operating at its original stall while also serving a slightly expanded menu at the new Southeast Austin location." - Nadia Chaudhury
Decent burger for a decent price. Service was poor. Borderline rude.
It takes such minimal effort to say "How can I help you?" Or literally anything other than a blank stare. There's way too many choices for food to feel like I'm inconveniencing someone with my presence. Service like that gives tip culture such a bad look. We're talking minimal effort here.

I LOVE this cheeseburger. I cannot put into words how great this burger is. We had it the first time a month ago and have been back 7 times since. $12 for a burger and fries and $10 during happy hour is the ultimate steal. The fact that we're not talking about shortwave having one of the best burgers in Austin is beyond me.
PS - its a food truck, but you can go grab a beer from radio while you wait.

Updating review so it's value add:
- Missing ingredients, extremely limited service! Park's atmosphere is good but I do not think that has nothing to do with the truck.
Room for improvement:
- Employee needs training on POS
- Ordering process needs to be improved to bridge the language barrier
- Parfait without fruit is not a parfait; Remove items off menu if you don't have the ingredients

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.
