    Pulled pork nachos
    Kari B.

    Drove by their truck when they were parked on Hwy 100 in West Allis one night and decided to stop. They were just getting ready to close, but were nice enough to take our order. We tried the ribs, pulled pork nachos and the brisket. The ribs were delicious and done correctly where the meat still stays on the bone and is not falling off. Their brisket was served shredded and had good smoke flavor to it. Their coleslaw was probably some of the best I have had. Unfortunately they ran out of beans; will have to try next time.

    4 meat sampler with pulled chicken, pulled pork, chopped beef brisket, and ribs with corn bread

    Finally got to try this truck at the West Allis a la Carte fest on Sunday. I ordered the 4-meat sampler, which includes 3 oz. of beef brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, one spare rib, and corn bread. Everything tasted pretty good. The chicken appeared chopped and was premixed with one of their house BBQ sauces. The chicken was very tender, had good flavor from the sauce, and I did not encounter any dry pieces. The pulled pork had a hint of smoky flavor and was served without a sauce, as it should be. The meat was mostly tender and with good flavor from the seasoning. The beef brisket was also served without sauce and was chopped instead of sliced, which I commonly see. With this method, they combined the fatty part of the brisket with the lean part to balance out the texture and prevent dry brisket. I thought it was clever and resulted in great flavor from the seasoning and fat mixed in. The platter included one pork spare rib and two pieces of rib tips. I was fine with the sauce on the rib tips, but would have preferred the rib served without the sauce, so I could taste the flavors of the rub and smoking process. The meat was also very tender and fell off the bone, which a lot of people like, but in the smoked BBQ world, it means the ribs were over cooked and could lead to dry meat. I did have one dry bite, but that is minor. You should have to gnaw on the rib bone a little to get the some of the meat off. Still, I liked the flavor of the sauce. I will ask for no sauce next time. The corn bread was very soft and moist (sorry to those who hate that word, but there isn't a better word to describe it, and I didn't invent it), so another hit there. Solid smoked BBQ from this food truck. I would eat their food again and recommend you try them.

    I threw 80 of this in the trash. Oily, boiled ribs in whatever this sauce is supposed to be was the biggest disappointment of my bbq life. Piece of cornbread was good.

    The pulled chicken sandwich, bigger than normal because Alex was killing off what he had left with killer beans and cornbread.

    Ok I have finally had every meat on the menu now and the pulled chicken sandwich was today's offering with the fantastic beans and cornbread. TODAYS pulled chicken sandwich PICTURE shows a bigger than normal sandwich because Alex said he was killing off the last of the pulled chicken and piled on my sandwich. The pulled chicken chicken came on the plain white bun like all the other meats so the meat speaks for it self. Once again the pulled chicken was moist with a nice smoke flavor like all the meats, I will admit that Alex has great consistently with the quality and moistness of his BBQ. My final thoughts on Firewise BBQ and why it's my favorite local BBQ place is I really like the taste of his smoke flavor coupled with the moistness of the meats, no sauce is needed because the meats really stand on there own but on the sandwiches I like a couple splashes of the tangy BBQ sauce just a complement. Alex also does something that any one who reads my BBQ reviews knows is a pet peeve of mine, poor sides and even though Alex does not offer very many, he does have great beans and cornbread. Alex puts out great quality BBQ with consistent quality with everything he serves, he will be missed at seasons end.

    I had Fire Wise Barbecue at the Red, White and Barbecue festival in Westmont, IL We had the "4-meat special" which was a sampler platter of pulled chicken, pork and beef with a rib and biscuit. Very nice platter for $19.00 it's too bad there were SO many different BBQ facilities at the festival because I believe many of the locals went for "local fair"rather than trying the "out of stater".

    a truck parked in a parking lot

    I found their trailer in the Menard's parking lot on May 7th, 2020 around 3pm. Now let say I only have three stars because they were out of many menu items due to being sold out. I guess I should have found them earlier. We were able to order pulled pork sandwiches from the few items left. The meat was shredded beautifully and still moist. With some sauce that they offer it was a perfect sandwich. I did add a little salt which is just my preference. I will be back to visit them soon so I can share more insight she feedback.

    Pork belly sandwich and grits
    John O.

    It was a rainy day in the Menards parking lot when I happened across FBC. Was super excited for some BBQ. Ordered a pork belly sandwich and some grits. The grits were insanely salty. No stranger to salt but these were just way over salted. The Pork Belly sandwich was ok, very fatty. Pork could have used some time on the grill to crisp up a bit. Liked the tangy BBQ sauce. Will have to try again some time.

    Pork Mafia approved. Good luck on your new venture Alex. Opening day Hal's Harley Davison.

    Ok it's about time this food truck gets it's own page on Yelp because they have been in this spot…read morefor a while now. I found this truck after finding my regular truck gone on a Sunday while I was craving full blown nachos so I stopped by and ordered the steak nachos. I ordered the steak nachos with steak, lettuce, tomato's, onion, cilantro, cheese, jalapeños and sour cream. I always add cilantro and onion in my Mexican food because they just brings Mexican food to the next level. Just look at my pictures of how f#cking delicious these nachos are and they don't skimp because they completely fill the container. Sadly to say that they dethroned my king of nachos that I had for many years all by my chance stop by because my king was gone. Sadly I really should explore more of the massive menu for a Mexican food truck but the nachos are so delicious with the chips, steak, veggies, cheese and sour cream drizzle makes it very hard. On a side note I ordered my steak nachos not realizing my wallet anemic on cash so I said stop and cancel my order because I have to go to a ATM and I will be right back. To my surprise my ATM was just down the street and when I returned to replace my order the woman handed my my steak nachos, the fact that the woman completely trusted me to return and made my order with the potential of not returning was some great service. 99.9 % of pay first food what evers would never cook your food if you didn't pay first. As you may not know I don't hand out a 5 star rating like candy like other Yelpers and only if a business really impressed me and the woman's service got her that rare Steve 5th star review. The woman had no idea that a Steve stop by and trusting me to return would get the business a home page and the rare 5th star even though it's a food truck, I don't discriminate with my reviews.

    The bar was talking about this food truck that was supposed to happen and it finally happened…read more Since the bar can't really add a kitchen to serve food they did the next best and got there own food truck. There is a core menu and on Fridays they add different items, see my menu pictures. This truck is six days new so it just opened and be patient because everything is cooked to order people. I have been craving a Philly cheesesteak for weeks now so I stopped by for one and the guy threw in free frys, how cool is that. There is an outdoor patio with seating next to the truck so you can eat on the spot on nice days. The ambiance is chill food truck with an open patio connected to a neighborhood bar. The Philly cheesesteak looked good with onions and peppers and creamy/ thick cheese sauce which is my favorite cheese on a Philly cheesesteak with grilled peppers and onions. The hoagie roll was fresh and soft. The chopped steak could have been seasoned a little bit was my only issue but it was good because it's how I like a Philly cheesesteak because creamy/thick cheese sauce is few and far between. I have been to thousands of restaurants in my life and I have never seen frys this style at all. They are seasoned frys but thin like super thick potato chips and not conventional frys. They were super crunchy and seasoned nicely. What gets this truck 4 stars is the unique changing menu from the core menu, the cheese used on the Philly cheesesteak and free frys on my first visit.

    Lucky's was Amazing. They took a couple hours of their time to stop by West Allis High School for a…read moresurprise event. The food was a great price and the parents and kids loved it! We will be teaming up with Lucky's in the future for events. Great food and great people to work with.
