Grilled Addiction came out to my business complex for the food truck rotation and they definitely delivered. I ordered their Blackberry glazed pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich and fries. My sandwich was quite large and messy to eat but very tasty. I could very faintly taste the hint of berries in the glaze and I was glad I was able to try this out. It was a very good pulled pork sandwich. The fries were cooked to a crispy texture and delicately salted. My co-worker opted to do the build-your-own burger and has remarked that his was pretty tasty. I will need to try this out next time their out! read more

I was happy to see this food truck at the Diamondbacks game. I'm from California, and I love the opportunity to get tri tip! There was no line at the truck and service was fast. The guy was super friendly. The sandwich was smaller than we expected, but the meat...! They nailed it. The tri tip was succulent and amazing. Seriously good. The bread it was on was so-so--the bottom bun was immediately soaked through so it made it kinda awkward to eat. But hey, the meat was the most important. We could have had a pile of that and dug in with forks and been quite content. read more

Hubby, dog and I just got back from the Food Truck Event at Pioneer Community Park in Peoria. Wow! That's all I have to say (not really, I'm actually going to continue my review). I like to scan the different trucks and look over the menus. But, when I saw Grilled Addiction, I sorta stopped in my tracks. I decided to get their lollipop lamb chops plate, it's supposedly their signature item. Well, I can see why. It was majorly on point. The 3 lamb chops were cooked perfectly, they had a tarragon aioli drizzled over them (it was delicious!). The lamb chops were served over a green salad with a balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Yeah, I'm sitting in a park, but I felt like I was eating at a 5-star restaurant (hence the 5 stars). Looking forward to seeing you guys around again!! read more

Horrible food and horrible portion sizes and VERY LONG WAIT TIMES!!! Are the workers on drugs or what? Who cooks this crap?? I am a chef so I might be a little biased but watching these people work violated SO many health codes. Aside from the the mac was nothing but pasta and bacon taste, the sandwiches are for a 7 year old kid and the price is more than you would pay for a sit down meal and decent food. I love AZ food trucks but this is crap!!! I highly recommend visiting this place and reading some of the reviews before having them at your work, event or party!!!!!!!! read more

Just hosted a surprise family reunion and booked Grilled Addiction for the big event. It was perfect! Had 24 people flying in at different times. Had Gluten Free and Dairy Free and Meat Lovers (me!). Everyone was happy. :) The truck team made the evening as perfect as it could be! Thanks Grilled Addiction for being a part of our special evening!! Melody read more

For weeks and weeks I was waiting to try the 5 cheese and bacon mac. It seems to sell out quickly, so I made sure to be there early at lunch time. I wasn't too hungry, so was debating on just getting the side for $4. But I was waiting so long to try this that I decided to splurge and get the $8 meal. When I was handed my "lunch", I was SURE they made a mistake and gave me the side instead of the meal. I felt seriously scammed. I just could not believe the small portion. I was hoping at least it would be the best mac and cheese I've ever tasted! Sadly, no. I found it quite bland and it was only salvaged by the smoky bacon added on top. So in summary: it was decent, but a complete rip off for the price. read more

Was at an event at Brix Wine in Carefree last night and they had the Grilled Addiction food truck set up in their parking lot. Everyone was amazed at the great food that came out of that truck! The fav was the lollipop lamb chops and risotto. Great risotto out of a food truck!! Really nice folks own and run the truck and are sending some great food out the doors. After the event was over, I asked if I could see the inside of their truck and they were happy to show this beautiful truck off. It is wall to wall stainless steel and beyond clean. The cab of the truck is way cool, like riding in a big rig. Can't wait to find them at the next event. Would be a great way to cater a party at your house. Thanks guys and gal, Patty and Bubba read more

Portion size is weak. For $12 you basically get a slider sized sandwich. Flavor was good, but just too small of a portion compared to the other food trucks we get on a weekly basis. I give them a meh out of ten. read more

I wanted to make sure I put in a good review for you guys. I would have posted a picture, but there wasn't anything left. I split the Tri-Tip and the Kobe Burger with a friend. Both were AMAZING! The meat is well seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. I also got the 5 cheese and bacon mac. I refused to share that. I wanted to climb in the truck and steal the whole batch. Great food! Great service! Hope we get to see you guys again soon! read more

This truck was outside of our office today and I had never seen it before. I really wanted to try the pulled pork but my coworker wanted the tri-tip (we were sharing because the portions from food trucks are normally HUGE). To our surprise, the sandwich was a very typical size. More bun and lettuce than meat, and the meat was very bland without much flavor. Very disappointing for nearly $12 We also ordered the 5 cheese Mac, it looks amazing but is also very bland and flavorless. It had a unique flavor unlike any Mac & cheese I've tasted but it was saved by the bacon! The Mac was better than the sandwich but still - not worth $8 All in all, the gentleman taking orders (who I assume is the owner) was very nice and had excellent customer service. Their cooking time was a little long, especially for people waiting outside in Arizona! The food was lacking and the prices were ridiculous for the end product. My coworker and I are let down and still hungry. read more

I was very excited that this food truck was coming to my apartment, unfortunately we were not impressed. The price seemed a little steep for the size/value. The inside of our buns were burnt, not toasted but black. The meat tasted a bit burnt as well, but was edible. Overall was pretty bland, even with cheese and hatch chilies. I did not feel that $29 was appropriate for 2 burgers and 1 large fry. It sounds like some of the other menu items they offer at other places are pretty good, unfortunately the burgers just weren't for us. read more

You know that if I'm willing to walk outside of my delightfully air-conditioned building in the middle of a scorching scorching summer day, it must be for a REALLY good reason. I sadly forgot my lunch today, but my spirits rose pretty quickly when I remembered that a couple of food trucks were going to be pulling up to provide lunch options for our office complex. We wandered over with high hopes of something good to eat. So happy to say that we got what we came for! I ordered a small (4oz) portion of the bacon mac and cheese. Love that they bacon was layered throughout. Great ratio! It was creamy and rich - exactly what it should be. My friends got the all-natural hot dog and the lamp lollipops. I have never seen a hotdog look so dressed up! Well worth the $7.95, plus it came with a side of chips. She reported that the onions were the star of the show. The friend who got the lamb enjoyed the meat, but didn't care for the sauce. It takes a little bit of time to get your order, which I actually appreciate - it means they are making my food when I order it! Thankful not to have heat-lamp warmed food. Nice work, Grilled Addiction! read more

Bomb! So good and fresh. Staff is so friendly and attentive! Must have the pork sandwich and my friend got the burger! Will be on lookout for Grilled Addiction! read more

My son and I had lunch at the Cubs game and was sadly disappointed. We both had the Pita Tri Tip and waited 26 minutes after we ordered for some stale bread and three small shavings of meat. When done eating, my son asked if I enjoyed my bread and onion sandwich. read more

This food truck came to my office today for lunch. I got the tri-tip sandwich - it was okay, the meat was a little rare for my liking, I wish I would have known just how pink it was before I ordered, as I would have make a different selection. Also, we waited 50 MINUTES FOR EVERYONE IN OUR GROUP TO GET OUR FOOD! That is just absolutely ABSURD for a food truck! Plus, my sandwich was $11 no side or drink. While the sandwich, was decent..it was not worth a minute 50 min wait or $11. read more

Enjoyed the experience but the food was not up to par with the price. Requested a burger with bacon and it had none. Another individual in the office had the same issue. The patty reminded me of cafeteria style hamburgers. Too compressed and manufactured in texture. The lettuce was prepped way early as it had large amounts of red discoloration on the ends and this was at the very beginning of the lunch rush. I would not be able to recommend this to friends and family. read more

I'd like to review Grilled Addiction's food, but the wait was so long that I never got to eat it. Food trucks are supposed to be fast. Limit the menu, speed up the service. Also, the truck ran out of ice in its first hour of operation. Fail. read more

This food is a little expensive for what you get. However, if indeed the food is organic, then it makes sense. The food appears to be of good quality. I ordered their special of the day, a hatch chili chicken sandwich. Presentation was decent, with tiny grill-marks over the brioche bun. Nice and tall. Flavorful, with just a bit of kick. Decently fast and cordial service. If i see this truck again, I will be coming back. read more

Their food is delicious!!! My girlfriend had the lamb-chops and I had their burger. Both were seasoned and cooked perfectly! They are a prime example of those hidden gem food trucks you hear about. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot. read more

This truck is the bomb!!! Menu is on point from the bacon mac and cheese to the tri tip steak sandwich- This truck is a must try! The truck itself was immaculate... I met the owners as well and they were so nice it felt like family! I'm definitely going to found out where their next stop is. Thanks guys!!! read more

I don't often write a review. However, I was deeply dissapointed with the tri-tip sandwhich I bought from this truck today. "Grilled Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich" - sounds mouth-watering, right? "A hearty helping of perfectly grilled meat..." - Maybe two or three slices. Hardly 3 mouthfuls. Tough meat. I wouldn't call it hearty at all. "...placed on a soft, lightly toasted Brioche bun." - It wasn't a Brioche bun. It wasn't toasted. It was a standard, run-of-the-mill, small Walmart brand hamburger bun. it was sort of crushed, too. When the person outside handed it to me, they seemed surprised as well, and asked if this was the tri-tip sandwhich. "The bread is painted generously with a delectable aioli made from the finest Prepared Horseradish..." - It was mayo. Plain and simple. Nothing special about it. Overall, I walked across the street in 115 degree heat, and paid $12.00 for a small mouthful of tri-tip on a plain bun with mayo and bag of chips. Was it worth it? Not at all. I'm sorry to say, but I won't be purchasing anything from this truck again. Please don't come back. read more

I decided to eat at this food truck because it was situated in a parking lot of a business office adjacent to mine. I walked over to review the menu. I chose the create your own sandwich option. Grilled chicken breast sandwich and sm side of fries. My mistake in not inspecting the sandwich upon receiving it. It was not a full breast of chicken. It was chopped meat. Fries were boarding on cold and tasted of multi-purposed grease. White onions instead of the listed Red onions. Also looked like chopped bacon mixed in with the meat, that I did not order or request. And I don't eat Pork. Needless to say I will not be stopping at this truck again. read more

Had their Kobe/Wagyu beef burger at the Salt River Fields food truck festival and it was outstanding. I wish they were closer because I craved another one for nearly a week after. read more

I probably should have guessed the value by the non-existent line in front of this truck today... but I didn't feel like driving anywhere, and it was the only one today, so I decided to try it, and I should have gotten in my car and went somewhere. I ordered the "Grilled Tri-Tip Steak Sandwhich" with extra meat and a side of the "5 Cheese 'N Bacon Mac 'N Cheese." The total: $20.24. Quite expensive for lunch, and even more disappointing once my name was called. The sandwich looked as if someone forgot the extra meat. I saw more lettuce than meat. The Mac 'N Cheese was simple and small with bacon sprinkled on top. As I walked inside, I thought about how disappointed I was that I just spent $20 on this. So, I had my hopes up that maybe I would be surprised with the flavor -- I wasn't. I would have rather picked up a tri-tip sandwich from Arby's for a fraction of the price. The meat was not very flavorful and lacked any distinction of being grilled, which one would expect with the name. The Mac 'N Cheese was mediocre at best and the only thing that saved it from being any worse was the bacon -- as we all know, bacon makes everything better. So, small portions with fairly bland food is my overall opinion. I don't mind spending money for good food; unfortunately, I spent money on bad food and am disgusted about it. read more

By far the best lamb chop I've ever had. Seasoned and grilled just right. a slight aoili on top. It is just perfection. You have to keep in mind that they're just a truck and grill on site to order. If the line's long, be patient. It is totally worth your time. read more

Great Food and Fun. We tried them when they were at Carefree Brix Wine Bar. Had never done a food truck before and the lamb with salad was really great. Looking forward to seeing them again in Cave Creek. read more

After reading some of these reviews I feel the need to add mine. I have eaten at Grilled Addiction many times. They set up at my apartment complex once a month and I LOVE THEM!! I have had everything on the menu and it has all been fantastic. Kiarash Z - if you want fast food go to a fast food restaurant! Don't review something if you havent tried or been there. Fail. After getting to know the trucks owner and chef I know for a fact that the food is quality. It's sad that people will bad mouth someones buisness without giving them the chance to fix an issue. Keep doing what yout doing Grilled Addiction, you're AWESOME! read more

They are very enthusiastic and high spirited. Take a lot of interest but very very expensive. I got a burger. It was little and no sides. They charged me around $10 for that little snack and I had to go but a meal somewhere else. And I am not a huge personality at all. I'm just a 33 yr old female who weighs 130 lbs. I was totally shocked with the size of their sandwich. But the taste was really good. read more

I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was AMAZING! I will be following this truck and going every time I get a chance. As a side note the owners are so AWESOME! read more

Not worth the money. I got the tri-tip steak sandwich. For a $12 sandwich, it did not have much meat on it. The menu did not say that it contained horseradish. Tried to salvage it and wipe off the sauce, but still had the overpowering flavor. Don't believe it was something I overlooked, as my friend also got it and hates horseradish. Overall, not worth the trouble. read more

Was excited to try this food-truck and get some good grilled food. I literally paid for a pulled-pork sandwich that wasn't edible. The meat had no texture, it was just mush except on the outside it was really crispy, so it seemed like it had been frozen and then just heated up. It did not resemble pork in any way. Besides the mush texture the meat was EXTREMELY salty, which leads me to believe they were trying to cover up some bad flavor or something, or that they had reheated the meat more than once. I wanted to like this place, I'm all for someone following their dreams but the food just wasn't edible. read more

Our office complex had Grilled Addiction and other food trucks present for our monthly food truck event. Here is a breakdown of the experience as it relates to Grilled Addiction. Greeting and Cost (3): Standard "What would you like" vs. the warm greeting and welcome, good eye contact, etc.. I purchased with debit card, no issues with the square. I did not receive a receipt, was simply informed to remember a number. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich, their top menu item, and including tax cost $11.64. I did not order any sides or drink. Was overhearing a few complaints on the cost and customers wondering why it was so much more than portrayed on the menu. Kept hearing it is state and restaurant taxes targeting food trucks. Wait (2): I understand that an individual can wait a much longer time than you would expect at a food truck. My experience was a 35 minute wait for one tri-tip sandwich. I purposely went to the trucks at 11:10 to beat the lunch crowd and there had only been a dozen or so ahead of my order. I observed many customers waiting for that time frame or even longer. Depending on what was ordered the grill was putting out food quicker for some items. Tri-tip seemed to be an issue. In my experience across the states a "slammed" food truck allowed for no more than 30-45 minute wait. Based on what I was seeing queued up for order there is definitely an opportunity in prep time and tasking in the back. Mobile Cuisine has a good write up on how food trucks and us patrons can manage the inevitable wait times (http://mobile-cuisine.com/business/waiting-in-line-at-food-trucks/). Food (2): I would like to point out that prior to my being served the tri-tip sandwich another customer was walking away with one as well. He looked down at his sandwich and quickly turned around to ask why he spent that much money on so little tri-tip. He was subsequently given another slice added to his sandwich. Upon receipt of my sandwich it was presented with 4 very thin slices of meat, making the sandwich look mostly of roll and lettuce. There was no juice from the tri-tip and limited seasoning, the tomatoes were smaller yet quite good, the lettuce was shredded and more abundant than anything else, the sauce (an aioli with horseradish) provided the most flavor to the sandwich, and the French roll was standard. Meat was cooked to medium/medium rare, spicing was very much needed. I did not get very much of the grilled portion of the meat which to me brings so much flavor to a sandwich and surprisingly the meat was very cool considering I was waiting there for what I assumed was the tri-tip to be cooked then rested. No, I did not want to go up and ask for more meat to be added to the sandwich as at this point I felt it was the process by which these sandwiches are made with additional meat being added only upon complaint. At no point did I taste the full bodied California red wine and secret ingredients (I assume herb/spices) that this tri-tip marinated in for several hours (see Grilled Addiction's menu as reference). I have spent less than $10 dollars (which includes the tax) on some of the finest tri-tip sandwiches in the Santa Barbara, CA and San Luis Obispo, CA counties (see Firestone Grill in San Luis Obispo http://www.firestonegrill.com/firestone-grill/) that have an abundance of meat, excellent flavor and proper seasonings, etc. This sandwich presented by Grilled Addiction is, unfortunately, not in their class at all. Truck (4): Very presentable. Sharp looking design. Emphasis on organic, and the menu items look very appetizing. Overall: 2 Stars. I am basing this off of one sandwich, no sides, so take this into consideration when debating over the other food items. read more

We had the pulled pork sandwich at the Cubs game March 10th and it was absolutely delicious. Some of the best pulled pork that we found in the valley. We will be looking for this food truck as we travel about this fine area. The pork was seasoned and not dry and the bun was toasted. It will be a favorite. read more

We visited this food trucked tonight on a recommendation from our neighbors. We both had the tri tip sandwich. They were grilled to perfection. The rub and the smoke flavor were delicious. The owners were friendly and helpful. I would definitely eat here again. read more

I tried the Grilled Addiction food truck earlier today. I was a little hesitant, based on mixed reviews I saw on Yelp and Facebook, but decided to give it a shot. I had the Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich, which was good overall. The regular sandwich was decent sized, so there's no real reason to pay $ 3 and "double the meat", unless you are splitting the sandwich with someone. A little pricey at $ 12, but tasty. My one knock on the truck, however, was the pre-visit literature circulated throughout our office complex that morning, which indicated that the sandwich was supposed to come with a "side of the day". Not the case, when I asked about it. I also saw someone else come for the 5 Cheese & Bacon Mac also advertised, which the attendant indicated "hadn't been sold for months" and that "they must have given you old menus". As this particular Food Truck hasn't visited this site before, it seems like these misses would be on the Food Truck itself. Hopefully this gets addressed going forward. read more

The food was fantastic; but the ambiance was spectacular. I enjoyed the Tri Tip steak sandwich and had a wonderful time with the staff.. I'll be back! That's for sure. read more

We used Grilled Addiction to cater a rehearsal dinner for 50 people and everyone loved the food and experience. We offered guests a choice of Shrimp Po Boy, Pulled Pork, and the Tri trip steak sandwich. Everyone couldn't stop raving about their meal. The green chile Mac and cheese is fantastic. I would definitely recommend using them for any event! read more

This food truck came to an event I was at yesterday. I got the pulled pork sandwich, hoping it would be good as I was on the lake all day. However, after waiting for 30 minutes I finally got it, tasteless, dry, and the meat was cold. My mom got a burger, which was way over cooked and also very dry. I would not eat it again, read more

The food was good it was better than other food truck foods that I've tried. HOWEVER, it was pretty expensive and didn't seem worth it. I paid about 22 after tip and paid extra for avocado but when i got my food there was no avocado. I felt like they took my extra money for no reason and my tip too, I was bummed. Not sure if I'll return. read more

This truck made an appearance at our office today. I was maybe one of the first ten folks to visit. I'm not sure that it matters, but I'm a firm believer in the whole story. (Also a colleague went after me and while her food looked good, her check-out was a bit of a problem.) I wanted to try the lamb but I was super hungry and grabbed the tri tip sandwich instead with a side of tots. For me, the tots were good, not great, and I'm not sure the serving size was worth the cost. Having said that, I absolutely inhaled the sandwich. The meat was gorgeous, the bread soft and warm, and the veggies nice and chilled for balance. It was completely delicious. I got the feeling the folks on the outside of the truck were relatively new to food service. The folks inside, however, were not new to food in my opinion. Hopefully these folks will visit often and I can try new stuff every time. I'm definitely not sorry I tried it. read more
