ACL is back on! As you’re planning out your concert schedule, don’t forget to stay fueled too. From sticky-sweet ribs to stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches and mouth-melting donuts, there’s a variety of epic foods to choose from during the three-day fest.
The Mighty Cone
For the ultimate on-the-go, handheld snack that keeps you eating and rocking mess-free, head to The Might Cone. The Classic Chicken Cone is a must-order—it’s a hot-and-crunchy breaded chicken breast wrapped in a warm flour tortilla, topped with mango-jalapeño slaw, and drizzled with ancho-chili aioli, all popped into a paper drink cone.
Voodoo Doughnuts
This is the first appearance of the Portland-based Voodoo Doughnuts at the fest, so if you’re needing a sugar fix for your next set, you’re in for a literal treat! The Instagram-worthy spot has over 50 artisan flavor options, including 25 vegan options. They haven’t released which ones will be on the menu for ACL, but our fingers are crossed for their signature Voodoo Doll, which is filled with raspberry jelly, topped with chocolate frosting, and stabbed with a pretzel stick.
Burro Cheese Kitchen
When walking around the expansive festival, Burro Cheese Kitchen has the carbs and fats to keep you rocking out all day long. Artisan grilled cheese sandwiches like the Burning Mac layer fresh-baked sourdough, mac and cheese, and extra-sharp cheddar.
The Original Black’s BBQ
Black’s is bringing a taste of Lockhart—Texas’ barbecue capital—to ACL. Chow down on giant beef ribs, spicy jalapeño sausage, and some of the most tender, heavenly slices of brisket you’ll ever taste. Passed down through four generations, this BBQ mecca has been open since 1932.
Chi’lantro BBQ
This Texan-Korean BBQ truck is a favorite among the late-night crowds! The Original Kimchi Fries are a genius creation now famous for combining everything you crave most after a day out: meat, cheese, and french fries!

We are looking for a top rated steakhouse that also has lobster added to the steak in Austin. Can you provide me with the name of such a restaurant.
