We stopped in Laurel on our way back to TX from vacation. We were debating on what to do for dinner in the car and noticed this little food truck...so glad we stopped! I had the BBQ fried chicken sandwich with potato salad, hubs had the Philly Cheesesteak. Our 16 m/o was going to get the corn dogs but they ran out; he really likes shrimp and they were so kind to accommodate to his liking with 5 grilled shrimp (not on the kids menu) and fries. If we're ever in the area again, I would stop and try some more of their items! read more

Great Service and friendly nice people they was talking to us while they got our orders ready

5000% AH-MAZING! Had the Shrimp and Corn Chowder with the Shrimp Tacos... and if they have it there tomorrow, I'm going back! Heck... I'm going back even if they don't!!! I'm only visiting for a couple of days and I like to explore a city's culinary options - BUT I'm going to The 5000 for as many meals as I can fit in during my stay! read more

Just had the low carb breakfast bowl. It was very good. Fresh ingredients. Nice owners. You need to try this place. Update 2/29/20: Awesome Saturday morning breakfast. Great eggs Benedict, pancakes ! Go to this place. read more

Everyone knows the deal with food trucks at this point: a lot of them can be absolute gems. The 5000 is no different. Bill and Julie, the owners, or their kids are always working the trailer and they've never provided a bad meal. The location is great (right in the middle of Downtown) so anyone taking advantage of the Downtown renaissance has easy access. I do recommend checking their social media for menu changes, as they do happen, but this just keeps everything fresh and it's never been an issue for me. When they do breakfast, it's mine and my wife's favorite. I'm not going to give away the secret to their breakfast sandwich, but try it. It's easily the best breakfast sandwich in Laurel, and if you can say that about a non-featured item, you're talking about one heck of a place. read more

Food was okay. Potato salad had way too much mayonnaise. However everything else was okay. Location might be the only reason I'd come back though. It's fun and my son got to run around and play. Very family friendly. read more

I ordered a Mexican shrimp salad today for lunch. The wait wasn't too long, but it doesn't take long to make a salad. When I opened the box after it was handed to me, it felt light, after I opened it I realized why. The portion size was very small for a meal. The shrimp salad had good flavor, it was a little over saturated with dressing, still good. The biggest disappointment was the portion size for what I paid. My coworker went weeks ago and complained only of the portion size, not the quality of food. Not impressed to go back. read more

If you are in Laurel, you MUST get food from The 5000! We ordered the Erin pulled pork sandwich and the Bens pulled pork tacos. The pulled pork was excellent and the sandwich was grilled to perfection. Highly recommend! read more

My new favorite place to grab lunch to go! Forget the fast food chains. This is exceptional food cooked to order. From the southwest inspired Carne Asada street tacos to a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich, there's something fantastic for everyone. The $5 dollar kids meals are a big hit even with big kids. An excellent Cesar salad loaded with grilled shrimp for those looking for lighter fare. If you're really hungry, check out the "loaded" fries. But topping it all, is the best soup and grilled cheese sandwich combo I've ever experienced. In fall and winter, Soups rotate weekly with the Baja chicken enchilada available daily. Loaded potato soup, homemade chili? YES please. You think I sound like a fan? I am! Hit em up for lunch. Thank me later. read more

Wonderful food!!! Have driven from Dallas for those Carne Asada Fries wonderful service and literally the very best food in Laurel! Can't wait to come back!!!! read more

So, we just finished up our lunch here. Gotta tell ya - I felt like it was gonna be good, but man, this was something special. We had 3 different types of tacos ... carne asada, pulled pork, and shrimp. All three types were dressed with cotija cheese, pico de gallo, and I think the shrimp had some cilantro too. They were all just sublime. The side of roasted corn salad was yummy, too. I'd like to take home a tub full of that! Oh, and our two year old granddaughter knocked back a grilled cheese sandwich. It was griddled in butter. What's not to love about that? We come to Laurel every couple of weeks. I can assure you this will be a frequent stop. I'm looking forward to working through the whole menu. Highly recommended. read more

Philly Cheese steak with nacho cheese...uuuummm NO.... Then some frozen french fries that hurt my teeth to try to chew they were so hard. I also would like to check the girl's math because she charged us 3 dollars more than the total was including tax. read more
