The brisket and pork sandwiches were delicious. The potato salad and Mac and cheese were also good just a bit heavy on salt but of course it was eaten. Will definitely order again anytime we see Logan's food truck

Really good brisket. Mac n cheese was very good also. I would like to know how to find your truck outside of Boeing.

This is our favorite food truck. Everyone in our family loved it, including the toddler. The food is obviously amazing, but the portions are large as well. Top tier. It is the standard by which all other food trucks will be measured in our house.
