    To-Go Vessel
    Steven B.

    This food truck serves up some of the absolute best, Fish & Chips. It comes about once a month to the same location in Glen Carbon. It sets up on the far edge of the parking lot for Lowe's, so it is easy to find. Their cod is line caught, not net, which means it is super fresh. Once it is on board the boat, it is cleaned and frozen. Processing it so quickly locks in the flavor. The fish is prepared to order and has a light crisp coating. The flakey cod is hot and steam rolls off of it as you break it with a fork, or bite into the big pieces. The fries are equally as crisp and fresh. I am not a tauter sauce man, but I do like theirs. The lines can be long depending on the time of day you go, but they move quickly and the staff inside the truck is friendly and professional. I like it so much, I go every time they are in town. If you become a fan too, I recommend signing up for alerts so you know when they are in town.

    This food truck rolls in frequently throughout the year. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cod is always fresh out of the fryer and enough for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Grab their clam chowder or new cod cakes to fill up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The cod cakes are 5 mini fish fried fish balls. They would be a good kid (1-4 year old) lunch as they are similar to fish sticks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fries are a go to and I could eat them alone just for a snack![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The crew is always so friendly and love to tell you about their travels and which sauces to mix and try to enhance your meal experience. The wait is usually 8-10 minutes but on good days the lines can get long at noon and 5pm so be prepared to stand or wait in your car.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fish was good, I think it's a bit pricey but otherwise it was decent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Workers were nice and wait wasn't too too long.

    I went to On The Hook when they came to Olathe recently. Customer service was great. Fish and fries were hot, fresh and made to order. Only complaint I had was that they ran out of tartar sauce. Tartar sauce is a STAPLE. If anything, that is the last thing to run out of. However, I still enjoyed my good.

    I am a fan of food trucks, and this truck shows up in different places around the metro. I visited today in Lee's Summit. Menu is limited, as to be expected with a food truck. Fish &Chips $16 + local taxes. You can order extra fish, and you just get fries $6. They were out of root beer for $3 and coleslaw. If you want to eat here, find an alternate place to get your beverage. So now for the food. The fries are great, coated fries, crispy, and hot. Comes with malt vinegar and ketchup. There is also a sweet dipping sauce that I did not use. You get 3 large pieces of fish. Crispy coating but does not overpower the fish. White fish that is fresh and does not taste 'fishy'. As a food truck experience, this was great. As for food, it was good. I would definitely buy fish from On the Hook again.

    Had people tell me about this food truck and even saw pics, where people would stand in the rain (for this place). Well, tonight I tried it - and I wish (I liked) this place - as I like supporting food truck operations. This isn't anything to write home about - and there is hardly a reasonable value to the end product. Fish: Some sort of bland farm raised fish filets, which aren't hardly too big at all. The batter starts to go more tempura style, which is fairly bland and lacks any punch of seasoned flavor. Fries: These are like a double fry exterior fry, that are some ok, even decent, pre-fab fry product (from Sysco or some other food supplier). Are they the likes of a great fresh-cut fry? Not at all. Cost: See the pic of (3) smaller fish fillets and fries. That is $15. Served out of a food truck in a styrofoam container. Conclusion: The food is marginally ok at best. It isn't anything worth seeking out as "Oh, this is really good". And you certainly won't think: "Oh, this is some special food fish". So, (the fish and chips) is hardly a value at all...for what you get in food.

    The fish was fresh....Thought that price was high but quality made up for it. Line is long but staff is quick.

    I check their Calendar regularly so I don't miss them when they come to the Ozarks! Cod and Chips are amazing!

    Highly recommend for a great burger!…read more In town for 2 days on a short work trip and was looking for something quick to grab for lunch when I came across Rascals. I wanted something different and the burgers looked awesome, so I decided to give it a try. Absolutely did not disappoint, it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long while. They don't skimp out on the food either, the burger was huge and the fry portion was more than I could eat in one sitting. The guy working the window, who I assume is probably the owner, was super friendly and accommodating. He took the extra time to make sure I had everything I needed and checked to make sure I didn't need anything else before I left. Would recommend 10/10.

    This review is Certainly long overdue. o__o  Sorry guys..   The review is for the experience I had…read moreSaturday, June 8th when I was on my way home from a long morning at work.  If I remember correctly, the gentlemen working the food truck that day was named Tylor. Taylor or Tylor! But anyway-he was such an uplifting individual, and very helpful!  I ordered a simple burger that day, but remember enjoying for the most part. This will be a shorter one I suppose since that was pretty much the jist of it lol.  I sat in my car not far from the truck to eat my burger. I do remember it being really juicy. Borderline Too juicy for the bun it was on, but I figured due to the culinary nature of the product it was normal.   I honestly didn't love the burger,  but I'm definitely eager to give them a second go in the future. ^__^  I appreciate how kind and inviting Tylor/Taylor was!  I hope he's there when I return!  And I'll make sure to get his name. Hehe

    haven't been here in a while and they use to be really good and it closed for a while now back…read moreopen, new owners . so i go inside there is no other customers at first the guy standing at the register is on his personal phone and is having just a chitchat with someone and keeps talking as im standing right there waiting for him to take my order the cook is shaking his head and says how are u today what can we get for you and then a couple more min go by and the guy starts taking my order after the cook asked me what id like i told him , so ridiculous! when i get home and had 8 piece meal to share with my husband with red beans and rice and okra and collard greens , the collard greens taste awful and the red beans and rice were bland and had no flavor definitely not worth $32 none of it ! in that collard greens was almost $10 not worth a penny! only thing that was half decent was the fish and it wasn't as good as it use to be ! i will not be returning ! so disappointing!

    This review is for the experience my boyfriend and I had Thursday the 15th during our outing in…read moretown. ^__^ It was both our first time there and MAN their food was Really frick'n good!!  The breading and seasoning on their fried shrimp was quite similar to my experience at Momma Ann'z recently, but had noticeably different spice qualities and backgrounds!   Their spicy collard greens were exceptional though and I'm a huge advocate for them southern-style greens! They're just as important to me as any side with home-style southern cuisine!   My partner tried their shrimp as well, and their macaroni & cheese. He Too agrees their food was a real good time! I look forward to my 2nd visit there for sure! I'm thankful we caught them on a slow day! Hehe ^__^ There were only a couple others there waiting for their goodies when we got there. The time of day is everything indeed! But again, excellent food! And next time I'll Have to try their smoked chicken wings! I'm a Monster for wings! o____o
