Updating review so it's value add:
- Missing ingredients, extremely limited service! Park's atmosphere is good but I do not think that has nothing to do with the truck.
Room for improvement:
- Employee needs training on POS
- Ordering process needs to be improved to bridge the language barrier
- Parfait without fruit is not a parfait; Remove items off menu if you don't have the ingredients

I LOVE this cheeseburger. I cannot put into words how great this burger is. We had it the first time a month ago and have been back 7 times since. $12 for a burger and fries and $10 during happy hour is the ultimate steal. The fact that we're not talking about shortwave having one of the best burgers in Austin is beyond me.

PS - its a food truck, but you can go grab a beer from radio while you wait.

This is not a diner. It is a food truck. You will be eating outside in 102 degree temps unless you are able to snag one of the (very limited) tables inside the coffeehouse. Just be aware of what you're getting into.

Chicken sandwich was amazing, wait time wasn’t bad for only one person working the truck, and price was reasonable

Went for a quick meal with my coffee from Radio. Friendly guy working the stand solo. Ordered burger which came with fries. Immediate thought was the burger came out decent, with solid toppings and buns but the seasoning was too salty. Fries were also average.

One of the best thing I have ever eaten!! I never write reviews but omg was this delectable. I would drive 30 min any day to get this breakfast sandwhich. IT WAS SO GOOD!

Great Braut! The man serving didn’t know whether it would be enough to fill me up but it did! Decent price too!

Phenomenal smash burger! These stood out as one of the better smash burgers in Austin in a city where smash burgers are wayyyy too prevalent. Extremely quick service and very affordable. Surprised by their overall rating here as this turned out to be quite impressive.

I've had their smash burger several times and it's always AMAZING! And their fries are OFF THE HOOK!

Best smash burger in town, hands down. Also the Austin Dog is a great take on the classic Chicago Dog.

Food was very average for the price. Main issue is their online ordering and google hours start at 9 but the kitchen didn’t open/arrive until after 10. We placed an order at 9:45 and waited over an hour. Service fees and tips from here seem unreasonable to wait over an hour for food and have them open an hour late.

Visiting from Dallas and stumbled onto Shortwave Diner truck. Tried the smash burger and Braut which were both delicious! Great area with other food trucks and coffee as well. Definitely will be back again.
