This food truck was the best brisket my guests and I have ever had! And the other items were equally delicious. The guys preparing and serving couldn’t have been nicer. I’ve had guests come up to me after the event commenting on the food and service! I would HIGHLY recommend them.

Oh it's just personal preference which can't be helped with a pre-order, the food was great - for ME, a bit too much terriaki sauce and not enough rice lol but it was yummy!!

Awesome service and food, We had some weather issues and they were easy to work with on change of venue. I lived in TX for awhile, and since moving away this has been one of the best Briskets I've had.

The pizza was great, the only thing I could be nitpicky about was the top of my deep dish slice was burnt and not simply like a char. Other than that it reminded me of authentic Chicago deep dish which is hard to come by here in Nashville
