    Simply the best! If there was 10 stars they would get it. Friendly staff. The cookies and ice cream are terrific

    This past weekend at the wine fest was made better by the folks from Bruno's Gastrotruck. The…read morefolks there were very nice and I thought they worked as fast as they could considering all of us wino's needing some serious grub! What we ate: Royale with Cheese - kobe burger, braised pork belly, farm egg, cheddar bacon jam (we needed more of that!), tomato, arugula, pickled onions, sriracha mayo; all on a challah bun. This also came with chips - they were nice and crispy, but needed some salt. Holy Smokes Taco - smoked tri tip, chiles, cheddar, pico de gallo, pickled onions, cabbage, huacaina, anticucho. All of that was served inside a naan-like tortilla with a side of chips. Angry tots - tots covered with Bruno's secret spices, anticucho and huacaina sauce It was all so good and we devoured all of it! We weren't necessarily interested in pairing all the food with an appropriate wine, so we went with Williamsburg's Governor's White. Good food, good wine, great event (I know, that's a different review altogether, but I digress). We should have had a Yelp Booth there. Maybe next year?

    We do not know what's going wrong with the food on the truck. For the last few weeks it has been…read moreworse each time. We eat at the Parkway Brewery (awesome beer and atmosphere) at least once a week..Tonight was the last time we eat from the truck. The menu has deteriorated, in terms of sophistication and variety. The construction and quality has declined significantly. From no duck fat fries to three julienne strips of carrot referred to as slaw and now tortilla chip instead of hand made chips as advertised. Tonight we had the fish and the pork belly both extremely disappointing, not what we had enjoyed a few weeks ago. We loved this truck, this is very sad. We will take a picnic to the brewery, their beer is still worth the drive.

    Best burger in the city. The fries are also amazing. If you like actual smash burgers (not…read moresomething called a Smash Burger that is still an inch thick), this is the place. Seek them out. You will not be disappointed. Bonus points: they're also super nice people who seem to genuinely enjoy what they do.

    I attended the friends and family soft opening tonight and what a beautiful evening for this food…read moretrucks debut. There were many in attendance and with my family present, it was great to have such a smorgasbord to taste! For starters, all the ingredients are fresh - except the fries - and you can really taste the freshness. Smash burgers were on point and many options left you wanting to try each one. I think we had at least three different ones - including the classic smash, the Kenny smash and the plain smash. All served on amazing soft Martins potato buns. We also had a couple hot dogs - the manhattan and the Star City. Loved the Dr Pepper chili sauce and the NYC onion sauce was a mix of mustard, ketchup in onions and spices and blended nicely with the sauerkraut and spicy mustard. French fries are crispy and battered and cooked perfect. My brother in law ordered the Gahbage plate - a favorite from Rochester, NY and it is not for the lite eater! It is a packed meal of hamburger, hot dog, on top of the fries and topped with chili meat sauce, mustard and a side of macaroni pasta salad on top. Wow. A lot of food!! My sister had the chopped cheese and it was fabulous. We also purchase a couple of cookies that were being offered from a local bakery and they were gobbled up as well. Prices are amazing and felt we could have easily paid more for each item! This was the inaugural kickoff of the food truck and I easily see this as being a favorite in the area. Service was awesome - friendly staff wanting to make you full and hope you return. And yes - we will be following this truck and yes. we will return. Great job!

    We drifted off the beaten path to check out this place out traveling between Atlanta and Lexington,…read moreVA. It's a fair bit away from the Interstate, but I can tell you that it's worth the trek. When we got here for lunch, there was a line out the door and the smokers out back hard at work told us this was the place to be. We got served pretty quickly and found a table. The place is neat and clean with a decent amount of seating both inside and out. The missus had a brisket sandwich and I got the pulled pork with slaw, pinto beans and mac&cheese for the sides. The servings are HUGE and that smoke ring isn't just for looks. The meat was done perfectly with the smoky flavor and not dried out. I also tried one of their homemade sausages. Absolutely fantastic! Snappy casing with a filling that included creamy cheese hunks and a level of spicy that was just right. We pride ourselves in having high standards when it comes to BBQ, and this joint didn't disappoint! We've been to numerous BBQ joints including the famous award-winning Big Bob Gibsons in Northern Alabama and this place comes in well over that. We visited with the owner (Kelly) and had a great experience. The staff we interfaced with were both friendly and engaging. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. Highly recommended!

    Not sure about the food. I know Mama Jean's is considered one of the best, but I was left with a…read morefull but unsatisfied feeling. Let's break it down. The daily special was a beef brisket cheesesteak. The sandwich was large, the meat copious, and the cheese was well integrated. I think there was mayo on it, because the sandwich was soggy and runny. I ate one half as a sandwich, one half with a fork. No banana peppers to add to the sandwich. The bread was slightly hard, contained the filling, but not the juices and cheese run-off. Very messy. Coleslaw was just a pile of sliced cabbage. Not much taste. Very disappointed for all the hype. Other than salt, there did not appear to be any seasonings. The meat was definitely brisket, but lost its identity in the cheese and bread. Staff was very nice and helpful when ordering, wait was not long even though there was a huge wave right behind us. Drinks are cans/bottles and you pay per. Would I go back? Not sure, I really didn't get a bbq experience from a bbq joint. I think I will try another joint or two before I go back.
