Slater's Ding A Wing truck
Judy S.

Nom Nom Nom! We scheduled Slater's Dingo-a-Wing for our neighborhood in South Reno. Jay was wonderful with communication and follow through. The Chicken Wings (we had dry rub and boneless BBQ) were FANTASTIC! I can not wait to get home booked back into our neighborhood. His truck is super fun and stands out with the yellow colors. FYI all the to go containers are reusable!

The first time we had slater's ding a wing was during the last day of food truck Friday in 2019 and I remembered it was really good! Slaters was one of the food trucks selling food during the Legends Brew festival and we didn't hesitate to order from them! We ended up ordering 12 wings with a choice of 2 sauces or rubs. We ordered 6 Buffalo and 6 dry rub. We also ordered tots with Parmesan ranch seasoning. We received our order and the chicken was piping hot fresh! Both were really yummy, but my favorite is their Buffalo Sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the chicken wings were meaty! Their tots were really tasty, nice crunch as well! The ranch was very tasty and I think their ranch was made from scratch. So glad we were able to cross paths again after all these years!

Wings were just okay and they are very expensive. $12 for 6 wings just doesn't sit right. I got the mango habanero flavor and they tasted like buffalo. The size of the wings were decent, normal sized.

We saw that Slater's has been at the 395 Craft Beer and Spirits the past few Friday's and we wanted to check them out. This past Friday, we had the opportunity and arrived at 395 about 5:30pm. The place was packed both inside as well as their small patio in front. As we walked in, we saw food being delivered to many other tables. The truck was parked in the parking lot at the rear of the building and had menus along with a few tables and chairs. We looked over the menu and decided to order the Loaded Slater Tots and 6 wings with the dry rub seasoning. We were asked to wait outside for our food and told it would just be a few minutes. We found a vacant small stand-up table outside the 395 in the back but just in front Slater's. While we were waiting, a good friend of mine brought us each a drink. Our order did in fact arrive quickly and looked delicious! The wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside -- very, very good!  The Slater's tots were just okay - I was expecting a lot more potato and less chicken but I can see others probably really enjoying them. We then ordered some Slater's Fries with Parmesan ranch seasoning. These were definitely a different shape for fries. These too were really yummy! We will definitely be back to either enjoy both Slater's and 395 or just to grab Slater's to take home!

Wow! JAY! These wings are unreal! I am so impressed. The tots were also amazing.. this is so much better than other food I've had from food trucks. You're doing it right! I can't wait to try all the flavors. Great day celebrating Nevada Day and hanging out with friends. Your food is absolutely delicious.

Stopped in for lunch today (their truck is parked on the corner of Mill and Kietzke). Delicious chicken with a wide variety of sauces, definitely something for everyone!

Dry Rub fries

This is the best wings in Reno hands down! It's unfortunate that they don't have a spot yet but it's such an amazing treat when you are able to find them out! They are usually at The 395 in north valley on Fridays. We got a 24 wings and 2 orders of fries. We did the buffalo, maple bacon bourbon, lemon pepper garlic Parmesan and the dry rub. For the fries, we got the dry rub and ranch parm fries. Everything was fantastic!!! I would highly recommend Slaters if you can get them while they are out! Let's hope they get a restaurant soon!

March 9, 2019 Saturday - 12:45 PM for lunch 1 Adults Atmosphere - NA stars Food - 4 stars Service - 4 stars Background - The 395 was having their Grand Opening and the food "truck" was parked in the back Atmosphere - Not rating this it is just a food trailer. Food Lunch - This is my second time visiting the "truck". First time was another beer event where I had the standard buffalo sauce on my wings. Today I ordered six wings again but took the heat up a notch. The buffalo style wings with his new sauce habanero buffalo. I have to say they did not bring the heat. They were on the same level as the standard sauce. The wings themselves are solid and consistent size, no wimpy tiny wings here. Service - Jay is always great to deal with. I asked for my wife about if his food was gluten free. The wings and most sauces are but they are cooked in the same small fryers as chicken tenders which are not. Technically he is gluten free but there is a possibility of cross contamination, but Jay made that clear. I would think it be easy to keep the tenders in one set of fryers to eliminate this issue. Future -Yes, some of the best wings in the area.

Lemon pepper garlic Parmesan and Honey Sriracha wings with blue cheese and ranch

I absolutely love this food truck! Wether I'm at food truck Friday or feed the camel, I always have to get some wings from Slater's! I have tried multiple flavors of the wings and they have all been delicious. There are usually a bunch of flavors and then options for fry seasonings and sometimes they have specials (the shrimp and fries are sooo good). My go to wing flavor is the lemon pepper garlic Parmesan, and I always get some fries. The wings are always crispy and juicy. It is kind of expensive, but the prices are similar when compared to other food trucks.

I was excited when I first heard about this from a local chef. And I was even more excited when…read morethey told me who was helming the vessel! I've seen plenty of Kevin's creations via the local foodie group so I had a hunch that this was gonna be a homerun. There's not much in the way of gourmet sausages in Reno and hot dogs are alright but I really love some good sausage/brats. I got to encounter The Missing Link the first time I finally made it down to Feed The Camel. Kevin manning the grill and the rest of the family helping serve up and take orders made for a well oiled machine. I kicked off my patronage with a smoked hot link which paired fantastically with the margarita I was indulging in. These are sausage sandwiches so instead of a bun they're wedged into a length of bread notched out and grilled up with a little butter, garlic and parm to add a little pop of flavor. I practically inhaled the hot link it was so good. After finishing my first sandwich I declared it absolutely necessary to dive immediately into a second one. The second test drive called for the basque chorizo which to no surprise was also fantastic. They also offer up a handful of sodas, water and a plethora of chip varieties to pair with your dog if you so choose. I can't wait to devour the rest of the menu! Another thing I love is that not only is he a local but he's sourcing locally as well. He sources from a few of my favorite local businesses. It always makes me feel good putting my money towards keeping my local spots thriving.

Super excited to check out The Missing Link while they were set up in front of Nevada Brining…read moreCompany and Reef Dispensary Sparks today. I got the Sweet Italian and The Hot Link and my wife got a couple Dinner Franks. So good and all local sourced from Butcher Boy Meats, Rounds Bakery and Nevada Brining Company. If you like relish, The Missing Link uses Nevada Brining Company's Relish and it's amazing. The Italian sausage was very good. The sauce had a tiny kick to it, generous amount of sautéed onions and peppers that had a nice bit of crunch to them but that hot links was the star of the show and I should have ordered two of them. Great flavor, good snap, and a nice amount of heat that was balanced by the slaw and mayo. It made me want to keep taking a bite. Also I tried my wife's Dinner Franks and nice balance of flavors and that relish I can just eat alone. Definitely follow them on Facebook for location updates like I did and try them when you see them out and about. I will definitely be back cause I'm already thinking about that hot link.

This is a classic Mexican food truck that offers a wide array of edible animal parts. Only…read morerecently did we refer to meat as muscle tissue only. They have head, intestines, and skin tacos. Gross you say? What the hell do you think is in your hot dog and hamburger, rib eye? They also have regular meat. For whatever reason, Americans have lost their taste. Now I still hate French cheese, but must Kraft cheese taste like nothing? Must our milk and butter taste of nothing? Must our meats taste of nothing unless drenched in sauce? Okay, the head is a bit much. A decent taco food truck, and yes, they are el rapido. Long before the trendy food truck craze initiated by Kogi's Korean BBQ Taco Truck in Los Angeles (they were not the first gourmet truck but the first to use social media), there were taco trucks. Before that, there were lunch trucks serving donuts and sandwiches. There were a number of taco trucks in Reno, but you don't see them out as often. Why? Well, the City of Reno, in response to an outcry from brick-and-mortar restaurants, passed a number of regulations limiting them to a 3-hour time limit and 100-feet from restaurants. Mind you, this was not passed because of taco trucks but the explosion of gourmet trucks. Now, you may argue, hey, I got a restaurant, worked my butt off, why should I have to put up with some food truck outside stealing my customers? My answer is, well, in a free market, you compete freely or perish. You adapt. When existing businesses collude and press government to pass laws to undermine new competition, what do you call this? Unfair! So all these hardworking Latino food truck owners got shafted. Nobody had ever complained about them, but with the new regulations, you see less of them. Every three hours they have to pack up and move. How unfair is that? Time and time again, the free market is undermined by existing lazy businesses colluding and conspiring with government to stifle new competition, stifling progress and innovation, and keeping prices up for consumers. A major cause of poverty is not lack of government handouts but rather the excessive costs, training requirements, and regulations required to start your own business or craft. Yes you want a well-trained professional, but increasingly consumer review sites like Yelp and Angie's List can help you weed out the unprofessionals not regulations which act only to create formidable entry barriers. Back in the day, guilds were village monopolies requiring unpaid apprenticeships to enter the field and barring all outside competition. Hello! We still have guilds. In nature, organisms became more mobile in order to adapt, exploit new territories, outrun predators, or conversely outrun prey. This is why we have legs and are not rooted to the ground. Food trucks are likewise, an evolutionary adaptation. It makes starting a business cheaper and it's less costly to try innovative menus that might fail. Hence, there's a lot more food innovation with food trucks than brick-and-mortars. In evolution, if you don't adapt you perish. However, in America these days, it seems we're more and more willing to subsidize failure and weakness. Nature proves this is unsustainable. Nature sometimes engages in monopolies. Pandas can only eat bamboo, but this is a rarity. What if an epidemic wipes out bamboos? They're screwed. This is why nature prefers diversity. How about almost 300K species of plants and 7.8 million species of animals. But we insist on only coddling one species of food vendor? In fact, our omnivorous appetite was an adaptation. Ironically nature gave us brains to better adapt, perhaps to study and learn from nature, but we insist that nature's laws don't apply to us, that somehow we're better, and as such, we will all become extinct, despite our brains. Our brains didn't do us in, our system of rewarding and subsidizing idiocy did.

She first had a taste of them when one of her coworkers brought some to work one day and she'll crave for it once we're close to Boomtown. What's so special about their kettle corns compared to everyone else? That I can't tell you. To me, all kettle corns pretty much taste the same from vendor to vendor. At least here, you know you're getting a fresh batch every time as he makes them on the spot. Now unless they add different flavors that makes it unique and stand out from the rest then I can tell you that it's worth it. Then what so special about this place? The Man (notice I capitalized the M in Man) working inside makes it with love. He's also a good Man with a good heart, a good character and a friendly, inviting, warm and kind soul. Knowing that the product that he made with his own hands, blood, sweat and tears gives it all the difference. NOTE: He's only open on the weekends during the winter and depending on the season and weather. He should be open during the weekdays during the summer and peak time. It's located outside Cabela's right off of I80 in Boomtown. One bag is $6 bucks and two bags is $10 bucks. Do the math. Cash Only.

I'm…read morepretty sure everyone here tonight ( both trucks & tents) are local So I was pretty disappointed to find trucks or tents from many of the restaurants in town that I've already visited. I did get some pulled pork from Brothers BBQ that I quite enjoyed. But I also enjoyed it at their restaurant. Found something I have never tried before from Winey Ice Cream. Raspberry sorbet other Cabernet wine. Yummy So while I was personally disappointed, the place was mobbed. Great place to bring the kids and have a picnic. Many brought blankets or chairs to enjoy the live music. We walked, since I live just outside the park. Parking lots and streets were jammed and they were still coming as we left around 7pm Biggest complaint-- too many people think it's appropriate to bring dogs to a place where there is barely enough room to walk. Keep your dogs in the grassy areas and let someone else pick up the food. I'm not anti-dogs -- it was just too crowded! Probably won't venture out there on any of the coming Friday's unless coerced by others So once again, great family night out

What do you get when you combine some over-priced, but tasty junk food (albeit with a very few…read morehealthy choices), live music, and typically more than thirty local food trucks in a beautifully treed park along the Truckee River,? Well, between May and the end of September that would be "Food Truck Friday" in Reno's Idlewild Park. Okay, it's not gourmet dining, but rather an "experience." Watching the parade of walking tattoos strolling between the trucks makes for some fun people watching for what is predominantly a younger crowd. And if you're okay with the outdoors, wrestling with a selection among so many decadent choices can be just as much fun. There's plenty of room to eat on the lawn or listen to music making usually something for everyone in this weekly early evening outdoor happening . Watching folks scarf down everything in their path here makes for a good argument for the connection between choice and obesity, but who can blame them with the enticing aromas about? And I've been as guilty as any. Once or twice a month, it's my fun, unhealthy junk food splurge though I include a healthy walk to and from to exercise the treats off. Depending upon the weather and time, the crowds can get pretty dense and the lines long, and be prepared to spend some dough. Best to show up early at 5 p.m. or a bit later. And it's easy to spend $25-30 for your Food Truck meal so don't kid yourself that your saving money. All said, you should have a good time!
