Awesome brisket it's the best ever! The brisket is absolutely Devine and the bbq sauce is the perfect blend of tangy and sweet. Brought it home and we devoured this brisket. Better than the (you know the restaurants where is all dehydrated and cold) overhyped barbecue places in North Carolina there is NO comparison The Mac and cheese reminded me of my grandma. I will be searching them out on Facebook to get more of this fantastic bbq :) read more

Smokehouse Bandits BBQ - Brisket with bbq sauce and mac and cheese - Food Trucks Near Me

Very good BBQ. I had the Heartstopper, and it was great. Huge portions of their brisket and pulled pork on a bun. Delicious. I wish they had a restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered from this food truck and the guy was yawning the whole time (and no, not because of me, he was doing it with the customer before me as well...) I ordered brisket but it wasn't soft enough to break apart with a fork (fatty) and I asked for a knife because I only have 1 arm which was pretty evident by the huge sling I have on! He told me I should've ordered something else. My friend had ordered brisket and it was served already cut, so don't tell me you don't have a knife. I had given a decent tip before all this happened. I wish I didn't. The only enjoyable part of the meal was the Mac and cheese. The collards were nothing to write home about. Overall, it was just a disappointing experience (and I love supporting food trucks and small businesses). read more

Food Truck Time: Smokehouse Bandits BBQ at Tapline Growler I was excited to discover that this food truck was nearby recently. We stopped in to pickup dinner and ordered a brisket plate with mac-n-cheese (asked for beans as a substitute but that was missed, no big deal) and a pulled pork plate with mac-n-cheese and a scoop of coleslaw. Both of the meats were tender and tasty, we really enjoyed the sauce that was included. We wish that more side options were available, they only had the mac-n-cheese or bandito beans. read more

Brisket is something to remember. But!!! The max and cheese stays. You know how some Mac/cheese looses flavor and clumps up as it sits. This does clump up but keeps the flavor!! It's just as good when it cools as it is hot I'd get that alone. But yes the brisket is good. read more

Smokehouse Bandits BBQ - BBQ Truck - Food Trucks Near Me

Yes. Yes. and Yes. I have never had a bad plate of food from this food truck. It all began with the brisket nachos. Words cannot adequately express my undying appreciation for those nachos. And I have fake-cried each time I've come across this truck since then because they don't have the nachos anymore. At least not until the summer. I hope they weren't fibbing. I don't want to wait. So, I've had to console myself with the pulled pork -- once with the plate and again with the sandwich. Neither have really been a consolation in the sense of second-best because I feel like I won the taste-lottery. Both were outstanding. And for the accompaniments . . . the slaw is good, there needs to be more of it. The mac-n-cheese is creamy, but didn't have a lot of taste. That's okay though, because the focus needs to stay on the main item. Now, Smokehouse Bandits BBQ, bring back the nachos, please. Either the brisket or the pulled pork, although both would be better. Stop making me wait. read more

GREAT BBQ! The Bandito Sampler had wonderful pulled pork and the brisket ... OMG, the brisket. Perfectly cooked, both topped with their homemade sauce, and with incredible side of beans. What's so special about beans, you say. There were at least three different kinds of beans, maybe four, perfectly blended and so very flavorful. My wife enjoyed their pork sandwich bun with beans, and we ordered an extra side of very nice slaw. I was going to take a picture for the review, but we were so hungry that by the time I remembered, the food was gone. Ron, the owner, is a solid guy, proud of his food, and proud of his two beautiful daughters who help him in the truck. We will definitely seek them out again! read more

I came from Graham NC to Chapel Hill at Eastowne for the food. Food is delicious the serving size for the price has diminished. But even though cost goes up, if you give a person a hearty plate of good food then it justifies the cost but when you take on brisket piece cut it in half and give 2 tablespoons of sides...for the cost; it's not worth it at all. Is it time to look for better???? read more

Tried these guys, and...the food is VERY good! BBQ, mac & cheese, cole slaw. Yeah good stuff. I'll definitely look for them again when they are in my area. read more

Their food is worth every bit of hype! They accommodated 50 people at my job's anniversary party. Everyone said it was the best bbq they've had in Raleigh! read more

Just got the sampler and I wanna live inside that Mac and cheese and cover my body with the brisket. It was outstanding and recommend to everyone. I need to make friends with them so it's not so weird when I follow their truck around. read more

Smokehouse Bandits BBQ - Brisket, Pulled Pork, slaw and Mac and cheese. 2.25 lbs of heaven on earth. - Food Trucks Near Me

Hands down the best brisket ever; fork tender and moist, and the Mac & cheese was delicious. I'll definitely be looking for these guys again! read more

5/5 easy. Best Brisket I've had outside of Texas - and on par with that. Mac and cheese incredible, unlike most restaurants in the area. Do yourself a favor and find these guys. read more

I got a pulled pork sandwich combo with max and cheese and coleslaw. The pork was so tender! Dare I say melt in your mouth. The bbq sauce was different than what I was used to. It had a more molasses flavor - but it was still very good. The mac and cheese is great. They definitely used some sharp cheddar to add a tangy flavor. The coleslaw was ok. I just wasn't used to such finely cut cabbage. The taste was great though. The only thing I didn't love was that they put paper on the bottom of the food tray. The coleslaw and mac and cheese made it soggy. read more

Great staff that suggested their delicious brisket! Their Mac and cheese is super thick and creamy. After eating their food I passed out into a food coma. Watch out, it is knock out food! read more

Smokehouse Bandits BBQ - Brisket! - Food Trucks Near Me

The first time I tried Smokehouse Bandits BBQ was at County Fare and they were out of everything except the brisket. The guy in the truck explained that they only have very limited quantities and they almost always run out. That being said, the brisket was some of the best I have ever tried. So, the next time that I saw that they were at County Fare, I hurried there to make sure I didn't miss out (they had already started running out of a few things when I got there!) I had the pulled pork which was a perfect texture and the mac-n-cheese was AMAZING. Plus, the guy in the truck remembered us and a different worker overheard us talking about the food when we were inside and asked us for any "constructive criticism," problem was-- I didn't have anything to criticize! It was all delicious! Run, don't walk to Smokehouse Bandits because you will regret it if they are already sold out! read more

The best BBQ I have had hands down! Absolutely mouth watering delicious. Mac n cheese was creamy and meat was falling apart in the best way and tender juicy delicious!! please come to Bedford again we loved it read more

Fantastic brisket, bbq and mac n cheese. The brisket is incredibly tender and the mac n cheese is amazing.

Yooo.... best brisket game in town. Also one of the best customer service experience. Go support local!

Had this at Steel String brewery this weekend, BBQ was excellent and absolutely was one of the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had!!

If I found out they were cooking roadkill and slopping the sides out of elementary school cafeteria....I would still find their truck. Their food is on the high side of price but it's because it's the best in town and the brisket is off the chain! Take a hard pass on the brick and mortar wannabes and enjoy some of this unicorn blood on great white Buffalo meat in the grass....you won't regret it. read more

Me and the wife thought it looked good and tasted great until we got below the halfway line in my brisket/mac n cheese platter. Brisket was at least 50% fat, bottom of both of the platter baskets were sitting in a pool of grease. Neither of us finished our meal. read more

Go ahead and get the sampler platter then add a side of beans so you don't miss out on anything. Brisket is tender with a really nice smoke ring, smoky pulled pork, mac n cheese has a cheddar flavor (thanks for not serving the bland stuff for toddlers), the mixed beans are smoky and not overly sweet, and I'm a fan of the low mayo (if any?) finely chopped "dry style" slaw. I've added this truck to my list. read more

Omg that brisket. Best brisket I've ever had. Thick sliced but melt in your mouth tenderness. The Mac and cheese is better than your mamas. Even the cole slaw is brilliant. Big portions so you won't be left hungry. Definitely will be dreaming about this place. read more

The Smokehouse Bandits BBQ food truck was just incredible, and not only was the food great at reasonable prices, they have phenomenal customer service. I got to taste their brisket (probably the best I've had, and I've eaten a Lot of brisket) and the mac and cheese. Unfortunately I was unable to get a full order of meat (they were so immediately popular they sold out!) but I got an order of the mac and it was both creamy and dreamy, as advertised. I will definitely be eating here again! read more

Favorite bbq I've had in NC since living in texas. Had the brisket and pork. The brisket was especially great.

This is not just good BBQ for a food truck, it is good BBQ - better than some sitdown joints. They have been to my apartments twice and I'll go again. I've had their pulled pork and brisket. The pork has a good texture and you can tell smoke was involved. Brisket is super good too. Just go if you get a chance. read more

I was driving home to my apartment after a typical day of work. I had planned to cook dinner, yet didn't really want to. This was my first time having Smokehouse but it seemed like they had good reviews. The menu is very simple yet the prices seem fair in comparison to other bbq places in the area. I decided to get the platter which consisted of HEALTHY portions of: brisket, pulled pork, Mac n cheese, and slaw. When I was digging and eating, I kept coming across even more Mac and pork. The brisket was a tad salty, but so tender and juicy. The sauce they provided offered a nice balance. The pork was the same, yet not salty. Juicy and melt in your mouth. The Mac n cheese was good, not bad, sorta meh. Overall, it was a good experience. The owner offered excellent customer service and was very welcoming. I would recommend this food truck and would definitely sample again if I see it around. read more
