As its name suggests, you can get your chicken crispy or grilled, but as it doesn’t quite suggest, you can also get it smothered in buffalo and bleu cheese, stuffed into tacos with jalapeno ranch, or chopped up and loaded into an IG-worthy waffle cone.

Houston's longest running chef-driven truck still works the streets from time to time, but the sprawling yard of 8th Wonder Brewery (a sibling establishment) is its home base. It makes sense, then, that its "intergalactic" eats would make the perfect companion to beer -- tricked out waffle fries loaded with bbq pork and elotes, oozy pimento grilled cheese and juicy burgers, and Texas-style Cubans. Pop in for a $6 burger & fries happy meal from 3-7pm, Monday through Thursday.
