UT Football Player Deandre Moore Opens Austin Food Truck | Eater Austin

"On 1637 East Riverside Drive in the Riverside neighborhood, I visited Jive Turkey, a food truck opened by freshman Longhorn football player Deandre Moore (listed there as of August 27). The small menu focuses on comfort food made with turkey and includes three dishes: the Jive Burger; the Jive Turkey, a Thanksgiving-inspired cornbread bowl with turkey, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, gravy, and cranberry sauce; and the OJ Jive, a deep-fried turkey taco that inspired the truck. There are also Kool-Aid and Jell-O, with plans to add seasonal items. Moore’s mother, Taleea Moore, is the chef and the inspiration—she used to swap beef for leaner turkey at home—and Deandre plans a philanthropic component, starting with donating food to unhoused individuals during Thanksgiving. He opened the truck using his name, image, and likeness under the 2021 NCAA rule, and current hours are 5 p.m. to midnight Sunday through Friday, with Saturdays off during football season." - Erin Russell

Every staff member has been extremely helpful and friendly. I’ve ordered the fish several times and the nachos. My food is always so fresh to order. Thank you guys for being so wonderful.

This is the first time that my husband and I ordered from here, but I’ve had several DoorDash orders from here. Jive Turkey does not have a dine-in, but their little takeout place is very tiny, but mighty. Mighty in that when you order from here, you get FLAVOR - talk about SOUL food. So good! I would definitely recommend their catfish plate, pork chops, and the alfredo bowl, but I’ve heard good things about their burgers and sandwiches too.

I've been wanting to get food here for a while because the baked potatoes look amazing. It was what I was planning on ordering, but I saw they were having a $5 sandwich special, and I thought it was a good opportunity to try it. I didn't get what I ordered. I told him about the ad on Facebook and showed him a photo of what I wanted since I didn't know its name. The bread on one of the items I ordered was very soggy and burnt on the other side. The meat tasted strongly of vinegar. The guy who delivered it was very nice, although when I told him I'd been overcharged and showed him the ad, he told me what I ordered wasn't on the $5 special. My mistake was also not opening my food before leaving. I shared my feelings a few days later with a private message on the Facebook page, but they left me on read. Too bad, I don't think I'll come back, although it really looks delicious. Judging by the photos of what I got vs. the promotion.

First timer & 10/10 highly recommend! From initial order to receiving my food their service was smooth, professional, accommodating, and quick. I drank most of my “Juice Juice” punch while waiting cause it was that good! My order of the Alfredo bowl came hot, fresh, and GREAT to taste. I will definitely be returning to support this local establishment very soon, if not tomorrow 😅👏🏾🙌🏾 .

We called in an order for pickup today. Let's start with the phone call. The young man who took the order was super friendly and very respectful. We got to the business, had to wait in line a little longer than we expected, but, again, the young man at the window was super nice and threw in a "free joke"! Got home and the burgers were huge and absolutely delish! I cut mine in half; knew it was too much for me at one sitting! And the Superfly Fries were ohhhh soooo good! The food and customer service at The Jive Turkey is among the best in town. If you haven't tried them, why...just why?

There was a sticker in my sandwich… Also they ran out of turkey legs towards closing. Not too big of deal but… my family and I were expecting more from a “soul food” restaurant. The front staff is friendly though. Solid 2 stars.

Stopped in during a road trip. A bit of a wait but oh man the breading alone is worth it. Got a fish sandwich and steak sandwich, plus fresh sweet tea.

nothing like it. Best smoked Turkey legs every. everything is great Fried fish, Gigantic Pork Chops. Alfredo bowl to die for, had sausage and shrimp added. Hamburgers bigger than your man's hands. My husbands favorite restaurant. Service is fast and friendly.
