Cheesesteak was fantastic when I had it a month ago. I’ve since returned on four separate occasions during business hours and it was completely closed: 1. Took my lunch break at noon on a Friday, 2. Noon on a Saturday, 3. Another Saturday at noon, and 4. Right now, 12:30pm on a third Saturday, and it’s closed. Just update your hours if you can’t be there. Editing review to one star: It is currently 3:30pm on a Saturday and they are closed. Don’t waste your time coming out here, they are probably closed. Editing again: I am a fool and actually tried again on 9/4. This time, they had a sign out front that said, "Reopening on 9/5." I thought, 'Okay, some communication. I'll give it a shot.' Showed up on 9/5 at 1pm, still closed. Sign still up saying "Reopen on 9/5." New edit: There is no God, nor Salvation, nor Cheesesteak at 1516 Tinnin Ford Road. I regret to update that I visited once again on 9/14 at 2pm. All of the signage had been removed. Upon closer inspection, I realized that there was small red lettering on their trailer. It said that they have MOVED about 50 feet away inside Buzzmill Coffee. I anxiously made my way through Buzzmill Coffee to the back patio where I discovered a beautiful red trailer with American flags and a menu full of cheesesteak delights. However... its doors were also shuttered. At 2:13pm on a Wednesday. I can't keep this up much longer. Next-Day Edit: Someone, please, send help. After seeing the glimmer of hope yesterday I returned on my lunch break once again today on Thursday. I arrived at the Buzzmill around 2:47pm and to my utter dismay.... I found the red trailer still shuttered. Closed during lunch on Thursday. I'm not sure what is happening to me. I don't even know if the cheesesteak I had on that first day was real at all. Please... update your hours. I just want to patronize your establishment. October 2022 Edit: Ladies and gentlemen, I have been to the promised land and they have cheesteaks! They are now located inside the fence but they are back and just as good as ever! My only complaint (and the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars) is that they raised the prices. It's not that it's completely unjustified, but it went from being a spot that I would be able to frequent to a once-in-a-while spot. Nonetheless, try it out! You won't be disappointed. Final Edit: It is with a heavy heart that I have to say 1776 Cheesesteak is no more. I was in denial at first. I visited and saw their usual truck with different menus/markings. Surely, I thought, they just upgraded the truck. Their unrivaled cheesesteak making abilities should afford them that opportunity. Alas, I kept returning and there was no sign of them. After several months of waiting, which I can only liken to sitting outside a movie theater in 1999 to get tickets to see The Phantom Menace, I had to accept that 1776 Cheesesteak was gone. I didn’t want to believe it. But that’s the thing about pain, it demands to be felt. We may meet again one day, but probably not. I’m reminded of a quote from Carl Sagan’s wife that I would like to leave you with: “That pure chance could be so generous and so kind… that we find each other… in the vastness of (Austin) and the immensity of (gentrification). We found each other in the cosmos, and that was wonderful.”

This food truck is the one thing I miss about living in Austin. I still haven’t found another cheesesteak as good as 1776

This used to be the best cheesesteak I had ever had…. (Had this at 5 stars) that is no more..portions are smaller, prices went up and the sandwich no longer oozes golden goodness..bring back your old portions and cheese to meat ratio..in the mean time I am going to find new cheesesteak places to replace what you used to be. Super disappointed

Never open during posted hours. Always a hassle to order through uber. Phone always goes to voicemail.
