Woodneck Kitchen

This review is LONG OVERDUE, but we had to make sure we let you know that they are WORTH checking out! We experienced them when they were at The Yard after hearing and seeing some of their incredible photos on IG and boy oh boy these boys didn't disappoint! From their super friendly service to the freshness of their food, get ready to take your taste buds on a journey! We tried a mix of their staples and specials — from the crispy, charred Brussels sprouts to their fresh, flavor-packed salad, the crispy juicy chicken cutlet sandwich and the star of the show, the Woodneck falafel sandwich that completely won us over (and that’s saying something coming from two meat lovers). Everything tastes as good as it looks. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do — everything feels intentional, from the seasoning to the sourcing. They even use freshly harvested veggies from their own garden when in season, which makes the food taste that much better. We haven’t been to their new location at The Dainty Armadillo YET, but we already know it’s going to be just as epic. Woodneck is one of those rare spots that truly cares about quality, freshness, and creativity which you can taste in every bite! If you haven’t checked them out yet, do yourself a favor — go hungry and prepare to be impressed!

First time visiting and man if that wasn’t one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Try “the winooski” sandwich it’s a creative masterpiece and downright amazing. Amazing outdoor atmosphere with lots of tv’s for watching sports, nice and shaded with good music/sound quality. Beer right next door, with plenty of space inside and out. 10/10 experience and will be back.

Phenomenal sandwich shop- definitely recommend. I got the Winooski it was so good and so much that I couldn’t finish it. A great mix of ingredients and flavors and none too overpowering. My boyfriend got the Poor Joe and said it’s sweet & tangy and has a slight kick to it. We came in a little confused because we were looking for a trailer- he now has his own building to the left after you enter dainty dillos.

YUM!!! We've been wanting to try this place because people keep talking about how awesome their sandwiches are, and THE HYPE IS REAL. Huge, freshly-made sandwiches with super tasty insides! We split the Winooski and their beer-battered pickles: OUTSTANDING! Also the kitchen is in this very private yet spacious patio overlooking the river. And the dudes working were super nice. Now we have to came back and try everything!

We accidentally came an hour before they opened, but the owner was there and we told him we wanted to take food on a picnic so he made us sandwiches before they were even open. They added crackers, animal crackers, and chips for free. He was so sweet and accommodating. The turkey sandwich was also 10/10. So fresh and amazing. Will definitely be coming back for the food as well as the amazing service

The winooski was an unexpected standout. The layers of turkey were already satisfying on their own, but what really elevated it was the sweet-savory bacon jam. It brought a smoky richness and sweetness that paired with the crisp, tart slices of Granny Smith apple. The sammie hit every note—savory, sweet, tangy, and fresh. Call this sandwich Helen of Troy the way it can launch a thousand ships

We got the falafel and chopped burger sandwiches. Excellent falafel and quality of bread. Would like a few more veggies (tomato? Cucumber?) on it though. The chopped burger was also excellent and would recommend both. Looking forward to our next sammies!

Can I just say that these are the best sandwiches I've ever tasted in my entire life? 🤤 I loved everything, service , food , drinks. The cooks are really chill and very down to earth. You have to taste these sandwiches, they are open everyday.

I guess I have to be the first person to give this place less than 5 stars, which makes me sad, but it just didn't quite hit the mark for me. The Poor Joe is one of their signature sandwiches, and the chicken cutlet was so thin I could barely taste any chicken. Is that the point? You're "poor" so you don't get much chicken? It felt more like a breading-and-arugula sandwich, and the ciabatta was dense and borderline stale. It's cool that they give you a mountain of fries, but I would've loved a half-portion at half the price. And they were a little heavy handed with the seasoning. I like a cajun fry, but these tasted over-salted for me. Service was friendly, and it's clear they use fresh ingredients. I promise I'm not dogging this spot just because it's in a bar with an A&M and Eagles flag out front. Maybe I caught them on an off day, but for me it was solid, just not 5-stars.

it is RARE for me to find something that is actually taste good and AMAZING in Austin. Very basic b looking sandwiches but it taste incredible. They use some fun twist/ ingredient that is surprisingly blend in well with the sandwich. The toast is crunchy, tons of meat and flavors. When I came the menu is very basic, just 4 sandwiches, perhaps it is best to master what they are already doing !! Parking : since this is located in a preppy bar, parking is HARD :( street parking only Ambience : located in a really nice bar, avoid going in rush hour so you dont have to be panic finding parking like me

Woodneck Kitchen is located on the Dainty Dillo patio. Gonna start by giving a huge shoutout to the guys who own/work there. SO SUPER NICE & FUNNY! The food is freaking good, friends. When they tell you the $5 basket of well-seasoned fries is enough for two people, listen to them. This was definitely a case of "eyes bigger than stomach". I ate maybe six fries from my basket while my boyfriend put a substantial dent in his. I had the cheeseburger on a sub roll and ate the whole darn thing! In all honesty, we should have shared a basket of fries and the burger. The beef was seasoned and cooked to perfection allowing all of the burger toppings to converge together in my mouth for a flavor explosion. Boyfriend had the falafel sandwich; double patty. Took a bite (of course) and boom...goodness! I'm still so full, now that I'm home I can't move. I'm done.

F***ing amazing Local biz owned by dudes from Massachusetts. Great sandwiches we met the owners during our meal, and were satisfied by the service and attention to detail. All of the sandwiches are original in house recipes and is giving Snarf's a run for its money. Highly recommend, it's inside Dainty Dillo on east Austin, very nice foliage ambiance and good tunes.

Located just in side the dainty Dillo (take a left as you come in) and wow! Feel silly it's taken me so long to try them out! Super quick and friendly service. Got the falafel sandwich - perfect size and the texture was great on the patties. Loved all the lettuce and the sauce had just a hint of spice that brought it all together. Took my order to go, but plenty of space if you decide to stick around. Parking might be difficult on the weekends. Overall, great experience and will be back!

Love how fun and upbeat the staff is, and how much pride they takin the food! Great spot to catch a bite and chill during the week.

Wow loved the unique sandwiches on the menu! This place is a great addition to dainty Dillo. Fries are great and the Poor Joe and Linch Lady Land sandwiches were just what we needed while watching NBA playoffs. Want to go back and try more of their unique creations

THE FALAFEL SANDWICH!!! almost like a vegetarian smashburger but calling it that doesn't do it justice - it's crispy, flavorful, with a hint of sweetness. it's not doing too much, but just enough. i was also very pleasantly surprised by the turkey sandwich! i am not a turkey girl by any means, but would 100% get this again and again. it's also not as heavy as the falafel sandwich, and the apple slices are so crisp and refreshingly sweet. the chicken cutlet was still amazing, but i preferred the other menu items. if i had to nitpick, the fries are a tad too salty for me (my partner thinks the same), but yummy regardless. as a fry lover, even i have to say it's a massive serving (and for just $5!) we've been here twice within the past week - that's how good these sandwiches are!!

Best sandwiches in Austin. Vibes are immaculate The Poor joe goes dummy hard. Winooski is great too

WOW! Simply amazing. The sandwiches are the very best in Austin, hands down!! My wife is vegetarian, so we love coming to this food truck as we can both chow down big time! Every ingredient they put in their sammies brings such an amazing flavour that blends so well. The two guys that run it are so sweet-- the nicest dudes and so friendly. I really love this food truck-- such a cool spot, and the artwork on the truck is so fun. I love the location too-- being right next to the winery you can grab a glass and pair it with lunch! What's better than delicious food and getting to make some friends in the process! I LOVE WOODNECK KITCHEN!!!

This place kicks ass, and the guy who runs it is the nicest guy in the world. Unbelievable chicken sandwich, the beet salad was beautiful and bright, and the brussels sprout special was so satisfying. I want to see what this dude's take on an Italian cold cut sandwich would be like.

You gotta go taste this for yourself. Now at Dainty Dillo and open 7 days a week so get you some

It had been a while since we had visited the Austin Winery and the timing was just right for some food so we decided to give this little food truck a try. After a little order snafu (it happens!) we were treated to a fantastic treat with the Woodneck Smashburger and the Poor Joe along with their amazing salad. Everything was spot on! All of the textures you'd want were there - the sandwiches were crunchy, juicy and the salad was fresh and crispy. We really enjoyed the food, ambiance and most of all the service went above and beyond! We'll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Delicious and unique offerings. I don't have a favorite sandwich but the new salad with the melon is my favorite salad. The views of the river are a big improvement and the young guys running the show are a delight. Better go check them out before the lines are long!

Newly moved to The Dainty Dillo! The Picnic Cheeseburger is so bomb. It has nostalgic flavors and perfectly cooked.

Amazing sandwich! Got the Poor Joe and it was so fresh and great price! Glad this place is at Austin Winery

Wow! This place is incredible. The food is so creative and delicious and the service is unmatched. Great people great food!

Best chicken cutlet I've ever had. And I'm from NJ so high standards!! Top 5 sandwich of my life. Now at dainty dillo

Amazing food. Amazing people. They are pushing out some of the best food in Austin and is an absolute must try I'll be thinking about the poor joe for a while
