I heard the food truck food was delicious and they were very efficient on getting people through the line. Thank you! I was glad to I was able to talk to the food truck driver prior to the event to ensure the food that was coming and that there would be options. I started to wonder if the whole process of finding the truck was a scam.. so glad I was able to connect with a person to ask questions. Everyone indicated it was very good and our event was a success! Thank you! Pam Hoffdahl Neogen Oakdale, MN

Put the baked beans in a separate bag, knotted to prevent spillage. 1/3 of my beans ended up under the main container inside the bag.

Food was really good. Only thing I recommend is not skimping on the brisket. Ordered a 3 meat platter with sausage, brisket and chicken. The amount of chicken we got was a lot compared to everything else. Chicken just happens to be the most inexpensive item for the business so I feel like that was on purpose.

The beef brisket was perfectly smoked, the mac & cheese very saucy. I was surprised that the coleslaw wasn't mixed, but then I thought (great idea).- this way I can remove some sauce to match my taste

The fries were very amazing! We had the burnt ends, amazing flavor and tender. Mac and cheese was delicious and super cheesy, my kinda meal! Chicken strips were delicious! All around a great meal! I hope we have them in our normal rotation!
