I first tried Frank, Austin’s famous sausage joint, at Austin City Limits. They had a limited menu so I ordered their only sausage item: grilled bratwurst sammie.
The bratwurst, topped with grilled onions and sauerkraut, was juicy and delicious. I loved the Frank bun, which is a sliced white bread bun, that they used to hold the sausage.
One night, I stopped by the brick and mortar store, as this was one of the few places open after 11 pm in downtown Austin. My friends and I shared the chili cheese waffle fries. The chili was hearty but the waffle fries left a lot to be desired.
From their specialty sausages, I ordered the Creole Gator. It is an alligator sausage topped with crawfish popcorn, crystal slaw, scallions, and Creole remoulade on a Frank bun.
It was a hefty sausage but tasty. Left me in a food coma shortly afterwards.
