All the employees were mostly happy with the meal. a few things that were said is that for the pulled pork they would of liked more meat on the sandwich. Also it was stated that the brownies were homemade, in which they were not. Over all it was a good experience.

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

We didn't ask about bbq sauce for the ribs. Not sure if we needed to include that when we ordered- or ask for it when we picked up.

Their Mexican food is great. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the steak sliders were slightly inconsistent, but great tasting.

Both the Cuban and pork sandwiches were delicious. The beans were cold but overall the food was excellent. I hope you come back!

There were a lot of overly fatty pieces in the brisket. The good pieces had a great flavor, but we had to throw away more pieces than we would have expected.
