Shrimp po boy
Sharad B.

Tried the shrimp po' boy and it was decent but didn't quite wow me. The shrimp were nicely fried, bread was good, but the overall flavor didn't stand out. Service was fast and friendly, though, so I'd give them another shot to try something else on the menu.

I can't speak highly enough about Michael and Fat Boys Food Truck! We needed hamburgers, hotdogs, french fries and onion rings to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. Michael was super responsive and helpful in helping me get the menu together and the pricing was very reasonable. On the day of the event, they were friendly, professional and even wiggled into a tight corner to make our event a great success. They fed our crowd of 80 as quickly as possible. The food was hot and a big hit! Thank you!

(Dined 04/10/21 SA @ 12:15pm): Boy... I could get fat if I kept eating at Mike's food truck! I recently enjoyed a couple beers at Over Town Brewing Co. when I saw Fat Boys Food Truck as the day's food option and was immediately smitten by the name and logo https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=nTHvAYpeKxts5kKF1e_ECg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Prior to these COVID-19 times, I frequently attended, worked, or volunteered at the myriad of year-around events throughout Southern California, yet this was the first time I've ever seen this road restaurant and had to try them out. Would the use of the word "fat" be any indication of the style of food they served!? QUICK BIO "Fat Boys is a Los Angeles food truck specializing in American style cuisine with flair and an ever-changing yet concise menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=FzZTvdY_VbJB_IQ5jRXGdw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw". PURCHASE Chicken Mike Sandwich + Fried Egg ($10.95 + $1.00): Their signature dark meat fried chicken sandwich on a grilled brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, and your choice of spicy or garlic aioli (I chose spicy) with an added semi-running fried egg, this was a messy two-hander that had juices and egg running down your chin and all over your hands, the chicken was thick, moist on the inside and extra crunchy on the outside. This was one mother-cluckin' yummy bird https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=j8XFhQOy54pQilo35BgqfQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 5.0 of 5.0 STARS] Onion Rings ($5.95): A large portion size of mainly large thick rings, these were hot, lightly browned, crunchy, didn't crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (possible sweet Maui!) stayed intact. Nice flavor and truly didn't need any sort of dipping sauce. I seriously thought about another order for the road https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=L7au8iKnx8KEo7rzLVawHw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE I dealt with one individual - a male who actually worked at Over Town Brewing Co. who quickly took my food order, and about fifteen minutes later the same person brought my meal! Easy, efficient, and friendly - all good! PARKING (FREE) Being a food truck, they were at the beck and call wherever they were serving food. I drove myself since I was relatively in the area for other errands. Otherwise, the venue was at Over Town Brewing Co. which had plenty of surrounding all-day free parking around the entire place. Another option was to hire a driving service like a taxi, Lyft, or Uber. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Your standard self-sufficient food truck with exterior menus, order and pick up windows, an area for condiments, napkins, and utensils, no designated seating area, and natural lighting was prevalent during the daytime while electric street and truck lighting glowed at night. There were no TVs while background music came from a nearby business. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Fat Boys Food Truck was a surprising treat and would consider them again to potentially complete their limited menu (although I rarely ate red meat I'd try one of their Angus burgers) which didn't have any drinks which wasn't a concern this time around. The prices were food truck standard so no deals here. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $20.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.5 STARS

Thank You Chef Michael @ Fat Boys for catering our Anniversary dinner and brunch in palm springs. This was amazing food experience to our taste buds.

Food Truck for work
Sean S.

Another food truck for work. 2nd time my employer has used this truck in 2 months so obviously everyone is satisfied. Prompt and professional, these folks were great. I'm guessing about125 people and everyone was happy. Personally, I had the steak fried which were very good. Too good as I would've been satisfied with just half, but I ate the other half anyway. Burgers, chicken wrap, fries, onion rings and some really good cheese cake. Definitely worth a stop if you're hungry! Enjoy

Michael and his team were exceptional for an event I hosted. He communicated professionally prior to the event and was amazing during. He showed up exactly when he said he would and every person we served was extremely pleased with what they got. Service was quick from when people ordered to when they had food in hand. His food was awesome. It was getting compliments all throughout the event from everyone. His team was so easy to work with and so friendly the whole time. The next event I have will definitely include Fat Boys!

Juan F.

Met up with an old co-worker at Ogopogo and this truck was right outside. He came back with fried chicken and fries and I was surprised as to how crispy, tender and flavorful they were! Will definitely get more food next time I am at the Brewery.

Where do I start?!!!! Michael and his team catered my wedding on October 28th in Joshua Tree and the food and service exceeded every expectation I had! If you're looking for absolutely delicious food, Fat Boys is the way to go! Even better, Michael and his team were so wonderful to work with. I called Michael months ago to talk about menu options. Right from the start he worked with us to customize the menu of our dreams -- brunch for dinner! He served fluffy french toast topped with seasonal berries, banana & whipped cream, their signature fried chicken and Belgian waffle topped with butter and bourbon-infused maple syrup (this was a HUGE HIT!!!), and homemade buttermilk biscuits topped with a creamy vegetarian gravy. Folks also got a choice of scrambled eggs (one with with Boursin cheese, truffle oil & chives and the other with mushrooms), plus deep fried diced potatoes with sauteed onions, bell peppers, and garlic, a choice of bacon or sausage (a veggie option as well), and fresh fruit. Michael also ordered compostable plates and silverware, checked in monthly, ordered back up generators, etc. He went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was perfect. He is so humble, kind, and accommodating! And his team -- just amazing people! He brought a crew with him and they tackled electricity issues, wind, and bumpy backcountry roads to make our day incredible. We are SO SO GRATEFUL!!! AND THE FOOD! OMG! The most delicious and beautifully plated brunch I've ever had. Everyone came up to us throughout the night to tell us how amazing their dinner was. People went nuts over the brown butter, too! The team handled 100 guests so seamlessly, and with a huge smile on their faces. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! If you're looking for an EPIC menu and top-notch service, I highly recommend Fat Boys. Thank you Michael for making our wedding day such a massive success!!!!

Very good sliders and fries. I recommend the trio sliders for first timer, and the service is friendly.

Rodney's Ribs - The coleslaw

Rodney's Ribs

To all Pasadena residents, Rodney's Ribs is an absolute institution. Rodney has parked his truck…read morethere for decades and it has been consistently delicious all this time. If you're looking for "fall off the bone ribs" (this generation calls it "tendernism") or ribs that taste like smoke, then Rodney's is not for you. If you're looking for tender ribs with that perfect amount of chew and a fabulous bbq sauce with just the right sweetness-to-spicy kick ratio, then this is THE spot. I usually ask for the sauce on the side but when Rodney forgets and lays it on, I'm not going to complain because the sauce is damn tasty and he gives you so much bread that I can just use the top layer of sauce as my personal dip. The ribs are the star no doubt but don't miss the brisket and hot links because they can hold their own as well. But what makes it complete is Rodney himself. The man is a true gentleman and his love of bbq and his creations are infectious and we can't help but feel like we're guests at his backyard barbecue.

Finally got to try Rodney's Ribs, and it did not disappoint. It's located in a CVS parking lot, so…read morethere's plenty of parking available. It's a one-man operation, so wait times can be a bit longer if he's busy--but it's understandable. I loved the neon signs and the hospitality Rodney brings. You can genuinely taste the soul he puts into his food. That said, a few notes come down to personal preference--so if you enjoy it as-is, feel free to take this with a grain of salt. The ribs were incredibly tender--10/10. They were truly fall-off-the-bone. Personally, I would have loved a bit more of that smoky char you get from Texas-style ribs, but that's just my preference. Either way, Rodney clearly knows what he's doing. The potato salad wasn't my favorite. It leaned heavily on mustard, and there seemed to be a lot of relish or pickles, which threw me off a bit. Still, I'd absolutely come back again just for the ribs. The customer ahead of us ordered brisket, and I appreciated that Rodney was upfront about whether it was on the leaner or fattier side--that level of honesty goes a long way. Overall, the BBQ smelled and tasted great, and the pricing is very reasonable for the portions you get--it's definitely worth the value. If you enjoy good BBQ, I'd recommend making the trip to check this spot out before more people discover it. One thing to note: the ribs are truly fall-off-the-bone, so if you prefer a firmer, more "bite-through" texture where you can really gnaw on the meat, this might not be your style.

Dina's Dumpling - Small combo

This was essentially highway robbery. I tried at the USC APM Lunar New Year event and there was…read morereally not other food options and my toddler was hungry. $18 for 6 dumplings is absolutely diabolical! They were very average dumplings with thick skins and very oily from the pan fry. The filling was not special and filled with only meat. Real ones know you need either Napa cabbage or celery to give it freshness. Unfortunately, I had no choice but would not have eaten here. If you have other choices, go there. I had to order 4 dishes for my family $82 total --Ruined my day and I felt like I got robbed clean.

As someone of Taiwanese descent who makes a mean homemade dumpling, it's hard to find DUMPLING that…read moreholds up to my standards, and I even get disappointed with cult favorites like Din Tai Fung and Paradise Dynasty. I first tried Dina's Dumplings a few years ago when they used to have their food truck pop ups at UCLA, and even up til the last time I had their food (last week), their quality is extremely consistent and high. Their dumplings might not look the most meticulously wrapped, but the unpretentious homemade-style wrapper and high quality, protein-packed fillings (which never have bones, tendon, fat, or shells mind you) definitely do not disappoint. My favorites are their shrimp and chicken dumplings, which are so flavorful and juicy, as well as their noodles, which are a solid chow mien/pan fried noodle option. My only gripe is that for their prices, the portion sizes are quite small, but it's a price I'm willing to pay for their amazing quality. Highly recommend checking them out if you happen to stumble upon one of their pop ups!
