    My BBQ brisket burger with fries. It came with 2 ketchup packets.
    Tom B.

    A food truck we tried with friends during a leisurely wine tasting at a local winery, Rancho Roble. The options were interesting and they were quick and efficient to get the food out to you. Everything was seamless. When I attempted to make a pleasantry remark during ordering I merely got a stern look in return. OK. Chit chat wasn't part of the ordering process. I had the BBQ brisket burger that came with fries. All of it was utterly delicious and well prepared. It came in a nicely made disposable box. The brisket was so tender and melted like butter, almost, but it was a bit messy to eat. Chunks fell out that I had to pick up to eat. Take lots of napkins on this one! It also had a slaw on it, a nice compliment. The sauce was super tasty. Everyone complimented the fries. They were really good, much better than the fast food variety, except comparable to In-N-Out. The others had the burgers and cheese and really liked them. If you see this food truck around it's a good bet for a filling. hearty BBQ meal.

    Dragon Burger

    Had their burger at the Carmichael Park food truck night. The burger looked a little plain (not counting the cute logo) because it was just a patty, sauce, and pickles. But, it was really tasty and satisfying. The fries were pretty salty so I didn't eat any of them. The dragonfruit lemonade was a refreshing alternative to soda.

    Best BBQ in Sacramento and well deserved! Allen BBQ is a Halal food truck serving up burgers, hot dogs, barbecue plates and more. Their food truck was conveniently popping up at my office park, and I decided to give them a try for lunch. I ordered the Dragon Burger, which comes with a ground tri tip patty, house sauce, pickles, and diced onions on top of a brioche bun. It didn't take long for them to prepare my order, and I exchanged my buzzer for a generous plate and Allen BBQ sticker! The presentation was eye catching with the dragon-stamped bun, and the flavor was mouthwatering! The burger was juicy and exceeded my expectations. Give them a try at their next pop-up!

    Love that they come to Plumas lake to serve the people since we don't have any food nearby. They are conveniently located at the park so easy access and parking. We got the BBQ plate that came with brisket and chicken and sides of mac and cheese and coleslaw. We also got the cheesy garlic fries and chicken tenders and fries. Everything was portioned good and all had good flavor. We also got the dragonfruit lemonade that was decent. Not a bad place to stop by. The prices were not bad for the amount of food that we got.

    Me and my wife was at Motown Sunday at Valensin winery. Allen bbq was the featured food truck for the day. I waited in line and when I got to the front I was greeted by staff. Staff were polite and friendly. I ordered the dragon breath loaded fries and banana pudding. The fries were very tasty and the fries were cooked to perfection. The banana pudding was delicious too. The ambiance is customer friendly.

    My order, double dragon and a dragon fruit lemonade
    Ricardo G.

    The service was quick and convenient from their food truck, and the customer service was good. Their cashier was very kind. Double Dragon and Fries - 7/10 Double patty with Cheese and onions, pickles, and sauce. The patties are definitely made in house, I can tell they grind it themselves. The cheese is super gooey without the burger being greasy, delicious. The fries are nice and golden, but a bit too salty, which I don't mind too much, but did make me thirsty. All together, pretty good meal. Dragon Fruit Lemonade - 8/10 Nicely sweet and tart, doesn't taste much like dragon fruit, more like a generic punch, but I like it nonetheless. The size is pretty food for $7

    As always, excellent food and fast friendly service! The pics speak for themselves! Whether you prefer spicy or garlic, you will not be disappointed! But. Bring breath mints!!

    2 item bbq plate

    We visited the Ellen barbecue and burgers food truck at the Folsom peach Festival on 8/3. We ordered several different items, and we all enjoyed what we ordered. They have the best chili cheese fries I have ever had! A lot of times the chili on such a concoction isn't very good but this was delicious. My daughter loved her Southwest barbecue salad, and commented how good the brisket was, and my husband and son really enjoyed their burgers. I got the two item plate, and the potato salad and brisket and tri-tip were delicious. They were very nice gentleman, and the food came out really quickly.

    Recently tried this place since it was posted out in front of work. It's very seldom the hospital has food trucks, so whenever there's the opportunity-we hop on it. We tried their garlic dragon fries and their onion rings. For about $18 you get their brisket with fries and special sauce. Very flavorful and enough to feed a few people to share. Wished the fries were a little crispier, but that's being picky. Their onion rings were the perfect consistency of a fried item. Inside soft, outside super crispy. One of the best onion rings I've had in a while. Service was quick, we were in and out in no time Thanks Allen's bbq! We definitely enjoyed!

    Double Dragon Burger
    Rachel K.

    I tried Allen BBQ for the first time during Sun and Soil's food truck Friday. I was super excited to try them out, with this heat some bbq sounded great. I walked up and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. They answered my questions and even gave me a sample of the brisket. It was a good two bite sample too!! I ended up ordering the Double Dragon Burger as well as a Brisket Sandwich, both came with fries and I upgraded one for $2 to onion rings. I was given a buzzer after I ordered to let me know when everything was ready and headed inside into the air conditioning while they prepared everything. I hope they have AC on the truck because it was HOT today. The order didn't take too long and they made sure to ask what sauces I would like to go with the food. I opted for the Dragon Sauce which is their signature sauce. I took the food to go and headed straight home to enjoy it with my husband (and our dog had a few fries). The burger was really tasty and they definitely have a high quality ground beef and their own seasoning blend. I wish they used dill pickles, I think the dill and vinegar would have complimented the burger really well. Sweet pickles typically aren't my thing for sandwiches. I also think this would have added to the brisket sandwich experience too. Both were still really tasty though and the onion rings and fries were good too. I would definitely try them again and the burger was a highlight for me.

    BBQ Brisket Burger
    Noor K.

    Tried their brisket burger and it was BOMB. So tender and juicy, i've never had a brisket burger before allen bbq because of the lack of halal options. I definitely recommend trying it! The employee at the front was very kind and helpful and gave up some recommendations on what to try and it ended up being very good!

    Mario M.

    Absolutely amazing food! The Dragon Garlic Brisket fries and chilli cheese brisket fries were both amazing. Great portioning and nice service when ordering at the window. Super cute logo and the stickers given out with every purchase was a nice touch. Definitely will be trying more of their menu when I see them around. Good portioning size and very flavorful.

The fries were actually pretty good, an above average standard French fry with salt. The burger however was phenomenal. There was an amazing crust on the outside reminiscent of a backyard bbq. There was ample bacon, lettuce, cheese and sauce to make it a balanced bite. The bun was high end brioche style, they really went all out on quality of ingredients. A standard burger build but done perfectly! Beer was cold, food was great and the ambiance is a perfect local bar. Great spot to go if you don't mind hunting for a parking space.

That will be fun to hang out and eat your burger and fries in there, especially if A/C is provided. The cute patio is also open to leashed dogs that are well behaved. I love that they offer combos with a shake or a fountain drink. You'll find burgers, shakes, fries, chili, and hot dogs. The menu is very reasonably priced too. I got a single Lucky burger combo with a large banana peanut butter chocolate shake (you can mix flavors), upgraded to chili cheese fries, and also ordered a separate fountain drink. The cashier was very friendly, patient, and helpful. Service 10/10. Given a buzzer and found a table inside. Food came up in about 5 minutes. Good burger but had way too many onions (easy fix though). I wouldn't mind a softer bun, but it was fine. The Lucky sauce is similar to thousand island dressing, and they had a few other sauces available that I still need to try. The fries were great! Battered, seasoned, and crispy. Shake was thick and not too sweet. They use real fruit, but not sure if they use real ice cream or soft serve. Either way, it was still delicious.
