We had the Big Red Food Truck come to our wedding reception, and I don't think I could say enough…read moregreat things about Shon and his team!! They were able to serve our entire party of ~180 guests super quick, and even though there was a line, just like there is for every wedding food, the guests didn't mind at all. The staff was super friendly and helpful! Now for the food..out of this world!! I had pretty much every guest I interacted with tell me how amazing the food was and how they are going to look for this food truck at every event in the future. I might be biased, but it was by far the best wedding food I've ever had!! We will support Shon and this team every opportunity that we can. The cherry on top was the price; it was the most affordable food option we could find by a long shot. Now if you could tell me that I'd get some amazing food, served by an awesome staff all for an affordable price, sign me up everyday of the week!!! Cannot say enough good things about the Big Res Food Truck, thank you to Shon and the team!!!

The church passed out mother day flowers and cheese sticks as we waited in line in our cars. Menus were provided as we pulled in to give us time to pick what we wanted. Service was great. The staff was happy to serve us and do so quickly. Also gave away free dessert for mother's. Great experience

Six-Star Food Truck Stop After a Windy and Dusty Bike Ride…read more We had Karam's Grill from their catering truck at Cellar Winery during a blues event on May 24, and it was absolutely fantastic. Kim and I shared the Chicken Shawarma Plate, and it was some of the best food truck food we have ever had. Everything tasted fresh, the flavors were excellent, and the chicken was incredibly tender. We had ridden about 20 miles in the wind, including a couple miles of gravel, to get there on bicycles, so between the cold beer and this plate of deliciousness, it felt pretty heavenly. The venue was a perfect spot for the truck, and the guy running it was funny, friendly, and courteous. That always makes the experience even better. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, tender meat, and friendly service. I cannot wait to try Karam's Grill again. 10/10. Yelp only lets me give 5 stars, but this felt like a 6-star visit.

This was a brilliant concoction of taco meat, briskett,brisket, red onions, and sour cream. And if you like a bit of heat, it also comes with jalepenos. All of it is a riff on loaded fries except tator tots are used instead. The portion size was quite nice, the workers were very friendly, and the dish arrived quickly despite the steady line of people placing orders. Looking forward to visiting the truck again and enjoying other variations on their menu.

My favorite are the al pastor (spicy pork) and lengua (tongue) tacos. Corn Tortillas have a nice crispiness to it . The al pastor ones are so flavorful, juicy, with a nice kick.

It's gets really busy during peak hours but worth the wait!

Finally had a chance to hit up the Waab's Piggin' Out truck today…read more The truck was parked at the Mini Cooper dealership off of 100th and Hickman in Clive. Watch their Facebook page...they're pretty good about posting where they are scheduled to be and the time they will be there. I ordered the brisket sandwich. It's a heavy sandwich...and not one for the dainty eater. They asked if I wanted to pickles and onions on it... Sure. You talked me into it. Thicker sliced brisket on a focaccia roll/bun. The brisket was cooked perfectly and it was pull apart tender. The sandwich filled a standard 6 inch by 6 inch take-out box from corner to corner. The BBQ sauce was sweet, tangy, and had just a touch of heat. I have no idea if the sauce is custom or a third party. I'd assume it's their own; I didn't ask. We had a very short wait between ordering and being handed our food. The truck staff was polite and efficient. Waab's accepts cash or cards. Brisket sandwich and a 1 oz. bag of chips ($8). 16 oz. soda ($1.25). Definitely a thumbs up and I'll go back and try a few more of their items when I can catch them on the West side. Usually I write more, but I'm finding it hard to fluff this up. Just good BBQ.

Food is amazing. Got to try it at the Fall Food Truck Showdown and ordered the Kalbi Steak tacos…read more The steak was chopped up into smaller pieces (making it easy to eat) and was juicy and spicy!

Or, shit, in my case, after a soul-crushing afternoon wandering West Elm, pretending I give a sh*t about artisanal throw pillows while secretly plotting to ram a floor lamp down my throat just to feel something real again. The air hits you like a sucker punch grilled carne asada and a fat waft of primo weed, mingling into this unholy perfume that grabs you by the nostrils and drags you face-first into the chaos. It's a go*damn siren song for the hungry, the stoned, and the downright depraved. This orange beast squats just a curly-hair from the Iowa State Capitol, a middle finger to suits and sanitation codes alike. The vibe? Pure, unfiltered food truck anarchy; think sticky asphalt, busted sidewalks, and a health inspector's rolling nightmare. I love it. I've roared past this beast thousands of times, tires screaming, on my way to some soul-crushing boutique in the East Village, but this one afternoon, the speakers are blasting Tacos! Tacos! Tacos! like a coked-up mariachi raving at the moon. It's a primal call, part rave, part ritual sacrifice and I was summoned, no questions asked. I slam down five street tacos. At three bucks a pop fu*k me, that's cheap. We're talking barebones brilliance meat dripping with grease, a sloppy sprinkle of cheese, some diced onion, and a cilantro garnish, all crammed onto a pair of corn tortillas toasted so perfectly they could double as fine art. I take a bite, and holy sh*t it's a go*damn revelation. Juices are gushing down my chin like I'm starring in a taco bukakke flick, my taste buds are doing a filthy tango with a side of donkey show flair, and I'm grinning wider than a chick eating cake at her quinceañera. For those sacred, greasy minutes, the world's a beautiful sh*tshow, and I'm the king of it sucking down taco juice while plotting my next bite. This is living, you prissy little bit*hes. Eat up.

Is it August? Are you in Iowa? Then you got fair food on the brain…read more At work, we are kicking off the state fair with fun events. Today, they spoiled us with a food truck. Got us in the mindset by bringing in this great food truck. When they said we'd get our taste of the fair, they weren't joking. Everyone was pumped and came right out to get in line. I think I lucked out and was pretty early in the crowd. There was a whole list of foods to choose from. A really nice lady stood out front and took your orderShe was all smiles, helpful, and gave off great energy. She knew the right questions to ask and took your order. 10 out of 10 on the smile and service. I know they were slammed, but they worked hard to meet all the orders as quickly as they could. I ordered the Tenderloin with Leomade. I also ordered the fried oreos to share with my coworkers. I saw orders of hot beef Sundae and funnel cake fries come out. Walking tacos and chicken bites. No matter what your order, I see smiles and excitement. The food was perfect. The Tenderloin was perfectly fried in a bun with pickles. The oreos were sensational. I got to try the funnel cake fries, and they were good as well. Can't go wrong with anything fried and covered in powdered sugar. To top it off. Their Fair lemonade washed it all down and hit the spot. They did a great job. I heard so many compliments from my coworkers. I would 100% recommend for any employer to hire them to spoil your employees. I would 100% recommend the food if you see them in your neighborhood.

I have only tried them twice and have only ordered the Greek. The flavor is perfection, so I have not been inclined to try others. My spouse has tried the pepperoni and the meat lovers. His only complaint with the meat lovers is the amount of meat. I forgot to take a photo of that one as I was happily munching away on my choice selection. This is a food truck that has visited the Gezellig tap room a few times in Newton and now that it's on my radar, I hope to enjoy their pizza each visit here.
