I was craving a burger and prayed to the food truck gods to bring one to me, and they actually did!…read moreRight across the street from my office, in front of the Chase building, I encountered Roll MKE and after a quick review of their menu, I ordered the MKE Burger. This burger had cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon jam, and burger sauce. It also came with chive fries...mmmmmm chive fries. They were pretty busy, which I generally take as a good sign, but I had to wait about 10 minutes for my burger. Not bad of a wait really. They called my name and presented me with my burger and fries. It looked great! I hurried by to my office, eating the delicious fries along the way. They were crispy, hot, salty, with just enough chives that you knew they were there but they didn't overpower. I dug into the burger as soon as I sat down. It was fantastic! The burger was cooked to a perfectly pink medium. The bacon jam was amazingly flavorful! I have no idea what burger sauce is but it was great. The lettuce and tomatoes were nice and fresh too. The sesame bun was nicely toasted and the cheddar cheese was nice and melty. I liked that the bun held up well and didn't fall apart while I was eating it. I was in burger heaven! I sure hope this food truck will come by regularly. The rest of their sandwiches sounded great too and I can't wait to try them!

My brisket grilled cheese today was even better than the last time I had it, but I was told nothing in the recipes was changed.

I guess I just missed eating it so much it tasted even better than I remembered. Great eats!

The sweet potato fries were excellent, with large grains of salt on them. Maybe because they were not getting a lot of business, they were closing half an hour before they normally do. A couple people were walking up trying to get food but they were buttoning it up. I got the last lunch they served.

This truck is alright by me…read more The pulled chicken is delicious. It's moist and has really good flavor. We had the Dyl sandwich (not really sure what the actual full name is). I appreciate that the bread is homemade, and that it's a pita/naan type bread. However with all the wetness of the chicken, it got real mushy real fast. Not so bueno, especially when you're eating at a park on the ground. The fries are a waste. They were bland and also pretty mushy. I'd consider ordering from here again because the chicken meat itself was delicious, but considering all the other trucks that come to the event local to my fiancee's house, there's better options.

Food truck Friday!…read more I have noticed this food cart/truck always seem to be popular, and thought I would give it a try. I got the special today - 2 chicken chimichangas, and they were really good! It came with beans and rice, a little bit of salad and some avocados all in this little container. Really quite a bit of food for $7.75! Only suggestion for improvement was that they only have forks to give out, and you really did need a knife to cut the chimichangas, or just use your hands. Fortunately I brought it back to my place of work where I had all kinds of utensils.

One of the few trucks (trailers) I haven't sampled yet, so I ordered their popular pork sandwich…read moretoday. It was served on a fresh and toasted hoagie roll and topped with Cole slaw and pickles. All of those go very well together and the sandwich was good and a good value at $6.50. I only have one complaint. The description stated that the pork was smoked. I couldn't verify that because it was coated in BBQ sauce. WHY? Why go through the time and trouble of seasoning and smoking meats if you're just going to bury all that work with a BBQ sauce? Maybe they didn't smoke the pork and instead bought it that way, so they didn't have the investment. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense and annoys me because I'm expecting to taste the flavor of the rub and smoke. I got nothin'. Either smoke it and let your customers ruin it with sauce or slow cook it in your kitchen and sauce it all you want. Good, but could have been better. It just isn't what I'm looking for.

A pork lover's dream. PETA's worst nightmare…read more Hard Wood Cafe specializes in pulled pork and there are any number of ways to get it. On top of a burger, on nachos and you can even get the standard pulled pork sandwich topped off with bacon AND ham. That's a 3-way pork lovers have long fantasized about. I did go with the "Go Hog Wild", the aforementioned wonderful pork 3-way. The pulled pork is flat out amazing. It challenges Ono Kine Grindz for my favorite pulled pork in the city. The sauce is what makes it for me. It's a bit spicy and maybe a bit smokey. They should bottle that stuff and put in grocery stores, I want some now. The ham that topped the sandwich was good, nothing amazing. The bacon is my only real complaint about this place and what keeps it from a 5 star for me. It was fatty. I am not sure if that's due to a cheaper cut of bacon or lack of cooking it. It wasn't raw by any means, but the fat was very present. I passed on the slaw as I am still not sure why people ruin a good pulled pork sandwich by putting slaw on top of it (no offense to slaw eaters, but I do not understand your kind). The bun was a short, fat hoagie style and it was grilled with a little char, which I love. They have sodas and sides. Service was friendly. I went at an "off time", around 1pm on a Friday, and walked right up and left with a sandwich in a few minuets. This is going to be my new Friday spot for a while. I plan on going back for the standard pulled pork which, a $5, is a deal for the quality and taste of this stuff. You won't be left hungry with the portion size either. Hard Wood has manged to balance the line between way too much food or not enough, it was a great size for a sandwich. The majority of Friday's they are found on Broadway, near Kilbourn Ave. That happens to be right in front of my office. That happens to make me a very happy person. This is one of the better food trucks I've eaten off of and I'd strongly recommend for anyone who loves pulled pork.

I tell you what. 5 stars. Yep. I'm going all the way for this little truck…read more Richard has it exactly right - UNASSUMING. As they say - you can't judge a food truck by its wheels - well totally anyway - and this one has Wheel[z]. Sure this might not be the flashiest of them all, they might not have a person out on the sidewalk luring you in, but boy oh boy - will you be happy you stopped. Spring Rolls. Yep. They make em fresh while you wait. I've gotten the Tofu and it's thin and slightly crispy. The veggies are crunchy and fresh - and did I mention that these things are HUGE! You get 2 for $4... and you think - "Only two!? I might need to order something else!" BUT you will be surprised as these whoppers sure do fill ya up. Today I went all out and got the Crab Rangoon as well. I was real hungry. WOW. I thought they had me sold at the Spring Rolls... but these little guys were the BEST, I repeat, the BEST I've ever had. They were so creamy and fresh. Not overpowered with onion. Just perfect. Perfect I tell ya! So - next time you're out and about and you see them hidden among the rest, do yourself a favor and treat yo'self!

This unassuming little trailer almost gets lost at Food Truck Friday at Cathedral Square. It just…read morelooks like someone is camping at the park with their trailer. However, the food they produce is some of the best Food Truck Fare that I've had. My favorite item they have is the Stuffed Chicken Wing. They bone out a chicken wing, leaving just the tip which becomes the handle. The meat of the Wing is then filled with Cellophane Noodles, Ginger, Garlic and Scallions! The whole thing is then fried to a Crispy, Golden Brown. I've never said this about Chicken Wings before, but the result is surprisingly light. YUM!!!

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I got to this place, but in retrospect, I may have had…read moresome inaccurate preconceived notions in my head. This used to be a donut shop... the only one in town that went belly-up a while back. From briefly reviewing Ney's website, I half expected to walk into a restaurant with a meat market attached. Turns out, it's a meat market, coffee shop, donut shop and then a restaurant...and it became quite obvious, in that order of priority. When I walked in, there was no apparent waitstaff and no one at the counters, so I went into the coffee shop in an adjacent room where there was a friendly guy behind the counter. I asked him how to order some food. He instructed me to order in the other room (where I had just come from). So, I walked back into the other room again, and another guy (I'm guessing a manager) gets up from one of the dining tables I had just walked past moments earlier and finally asks me if he can help. When I told him I came to eat, he asks, "What do you want?" I'm thinking to myself, OK, I have never been here before and have very little idea of what's on your menu, and I also don't see one anywhere. I literally had to ask him for one. He fumbles and shuffles around on the countertop by the cash register and finds a one-page menu with about a dozen or so items on it... that includes starters, entrees, etc. Entrees consist of a couple of sandwiches and a burger. I ordered a brisket sandwich, and paid for the meal in advance. The guy hands me a basket with various kinds of chips in it and tells me to choose one. Then he puts the basket back behind the counter, so, what?... I don't steal any more?? I went back into the coffee shop to sit down at an available table. A few minutes later, a girl (didn't introduce herself) comes in the room and plunks down a plate with a relatively small brisket sandwich and a small pickle on it. I asked for water, and her response (as she's literally got her back turned and is walking away) was, "No water," and then points to an upright drink cooler in the other room. "All our drinks are in here." She walked away so fast I didn't have opportunity to ask her for some flatware and a napkin. I grabbed a napkin from the table next to me. As I was contemplating where to get some utensils, the guy who was sitting at the table in the other room comes back in and asks how things are going, to which I reply, "Great... except you apparently don't do water...?" He goes over to the cooler, pulls out a 6 oz bottle of water and tells me "not to tell his boss." I then asked him for flatware; he comes back with a plastic fork and knife. I ate the sandwich - which was OK, not great (I make fantastic brisket, so I'll admit that's a tough comparison) - left my tip, and walked out, rather underwhelmed. :( I realize these guys are probably just trying to get their feet on the ground and they seem well-intended, but there is room for improvement. They really need to figure out what they are - a meat shop, a coffee shop, a donut shop, or a restaurant. I do think if they're going to continue serving food, they'd better understand the restaurant part of the business a bit better. I may wait a while before returning. I will say their meat selections looked pretty good. I may be back to look at that more closely on another visit. And the donuts (I don't much care for donuts) looked OK too. I don't drink coffee, so I can't comment on that, other than to say, the attendant behind the counter had a good customer service thing going. From a dining standpoint, this was a less-than-stellar experience for me. I hope they can they can figure that part out. Perhaps my expectations were too high.
