Pros: - Nice staff -…read moreGreat service - Great food...try the ribs and brisket egg rolls!!! - BBQ Sauce...they make and sell their own sauce and the traditional sauce and mustard sauces were our favs. - Very reasonable prices for the quality of food. Cons: - Corn bread, which was highly touted, was underwhelming...I'd sub it with a different side. - Pulled pork was a little tasteless, but this might be due to the fact that the other meats we tried were so good. We were looking to try something different and after looking around on Yelp we settled on Boondocks. We went on a Saturday afternoon and were pretty surprised to find that it was mostly empty, although they had a ton of people working. We were promptly seated by the hostess after being warmly greeted and ordered a few drinks. We were meeting some friends so we ordered the brisket egg rolls and an appetizer to get us started. When they were delivered our waitress, who was really nice, gave a quick rundown of the different BBQ sauce options and we were off. The egg rolls were amazing, crispy wonton wrapper filled with smoked brisket and cheddar cheese and a touch of BBQ sauce. We tried all of the BBQ sauces, with the winner being their regular BBQ mixed with a little bit of the mustard BBQ sauce. These were awesome and we ended up saving one, which was hard, for our friends to try out when they arrived. When our friends got there we decided to order 2 of the sampler platters so that we could get a good benchmark. The sampler came with 4 sides so we went with seasoned fries, mac n cheese, brussel sprouts, and potato salad. The other things that were included in the sampler were corn bread, ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. The ribs were phenomenal and I would definitely just order these stand alone next time. The brisket was also very tasty. The pulled pork was average, in my opinion, so I am counting that as a miss. The sides were all good, with the exception of the corn bread. I though that it was under cooked and didn't match the hype. Overall a killer late lunch/early dinner and this would have probably been a 5* review if I had just ordered the ribs with the seasoned fries and subbed the corn bread with any other side that we tried. We will definitely be back.

Large smoker/BBQ on hand, wide awning to protect from sun and rain, perimeter marked with cones for safety of patrons in the parking lot at Menards. Unfortunately the service and food will keep me from coming back. The BBQ was all dependent on the sauce, but it really wasn't that good at all compared to other BBQ places around the city. Plus I felt sick after eating my food so that also soured my experience. Other people seem to love this place, maybe I caught them on a bad day. The staff were very short in responses, they were bickering in back and I just wanted to go.

Mr. Pop, I had the pleasure of stopping by your setup at the…read moreHavenwoods Tap parking lot and enjoying your 7-bone rib dinner. As someone who was born and raised in Milwaukee, I've had my fair share of great barbecue over the years--but I can honestly say your ribs are among the best I've ever tasted. The smoky flavor was incredible, the seasoning reached all the way to the bone, and the tenderness was absolutely perfect. Every bite was packed with flavor. In fact, I would put your ribs above some of Milwaukee's longtime favorites, including Speed Queen, Ashley's and Double B's. That's not a statement I make lightly. Words don't quite do your barbecue justice. The only way I could think to express how much I enjoyed it was by sharing this photo of my granddaughter. Her expression says it all--pure joy and messy. That's exactly how your food made me feel. Thank you for serving such amazing barbecue. You've earned a loyal customer.

This burger had cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon jam, and burger sauce. It also came with chive fries...mmmmmm chive fries. They were pretty busy, which I generally take as a good sign, but I had to wait about 10 minutes for my burger. Not bad of a wait really. They called my name and presented me with my burger and fries. It looked great! I hurried by to my office, eating the delicious fries along the way. They were crispy, hot, salty, with just enough chives that you knew they were there but they didn't overpower. I dug into the burger as soon as I sat down. It was fantastic! The burger was cooked to a perfectly pink medium. The bacon jam was amazingly flavorful! I have no idea what burger sauce is but it was great. The lettuce and tomatoes were nice and fresh too. The sesame bun was nicely toasted and the cheddar cheese was nice and melty. I liked that the bun held up well and didn't fall apart while I was eating it. I was in burger heaven! I sure hope this food truck will come by regularly. The rest of their sandwiches sounded great too and I can't wait to try them!

Saw that they were opened on Saturdays and decided to drive by in my way to the store and they were opened (Wednesdays and Saturdays 11-7). Proceeded to the store and upon walking out, you could smell the smoker from there! Upon pulling up and walking in, you are welcomed by the smell of smoked meats but not too over bearing, just right. The place is clean and well organized and I was greeted by the owner with a friendly smile. After a little conversation, I decided to go with 'the deuce' (2 meats and sides). I chose the tri-tip and pulled pork, greens and potato salad. Also the banana pudding! None of this disappointed in any way. stud Tri-tip was smokey and moist, the pulled pork just right, very little sauce needed. I tried some out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised how well it complimented the meat. The sides were fresh and seasoned quite well. Lastly, the banana pudding was delicious. Nothing about this meal disappointed. If you like brisket, go with the tri-tip! Easy transition and it is the best of both worlds for brisket (mostly lean with some marbling). Definitely will be coming back to try everything else on the menu! This is a must if you like good BBQ!

I'd recommend mixing it all together or dipping your turkey leg in, the beans were also good. I didn't love the Mac n cheese and would pass on purchasing that in the future.

I've had a few burgers from this truck over the past couple of months. All of their burger patties…read moreare 1/3 pound and served on a buttered brioche bun. On my first visit, I ordered the Baconmeister. It was described with bacon ground into the beef mix for the patty and topped with bacon, so yes, I wanted it. I told them I didn't want any toppings so I could "taste the meat." I think this confused them because they left off the veggies and cheese but also left off the bacon!!! I told them about this the second time I ordered the Baconmeister. They apologized and gave me free day-time weekday Summerfest tickets. This time the burger was topped with everything. I didn't want to risk losing the bacon. The patty was pretty good. It was well-seasoned but I didn't notice the bacon. The bacon on top of the patty made up for it. I was also surprised that they put the lettuce, tomato and onion under the patty. The taste buds are on my tongue, not the roof of my mouth. I don't want to taste veggies first (after the bun), I want to taste the burger. I took the veggies off anyway this time, so I could try and focus on the patty. Both times the patty was cooked a bit above medium, so when I unwrapped the burger, there were burger juices flowing out. I like that. The fries were fresh cut and seasoned well, so I enjoyed them even though they were on the soggy side. I guess the trick is to fry them more then once for crispiness but then you risk unpleasant color on the fries and potentially unpleasant taste. Not sure how to make the the happy medium other than constantly changing the oil, but that can be costly and cumbersome. I'll leave that to the pros to figure out. For $9, this burger included chips or fries and a drink, so good value. This was in mid-June. I noticed their prices went up a buck last week or the week before, so I passed on them, but today the prices were back to the original prices from my first 2 visits. Game on. Today I ordered the Garlicmeister. Had my eye on it for a while. A garlic-herbed butter is spread over the patty. I lifted the top bun and saw finely minced garlic all over it. Yes! Watch out butter burgers, garlic butter burgers are my new preference for naughtiness! The burger patty was still well-seasoned and the minced garlic butter added a great dimension. If I get this again, I'll add bacon. I might not try again because they changed the fries today. Last month fresh cut seasoned fries. Today battered (I presume frozen) and seasoned fries. They were fine, but I don't like the texture of battered fries. They don't feel like potatoes. They don't taste like potatoes to me. They were crispier than the fresh cut fries and I'll assume that's what they were going for, but I prefer the fresh cut they made last month. I may ask for a discounted price and skip the fries and drink next time. Seems silly to buy a bag of chips from a food truck when I can get those anywhere. Burgermeister also features a special burger of the month, or week, or day. I forget. Today's was a French Onion Burger with caramelized onions, gryere and asiago cheese for $11. $10 is my threshold for lunch, so I passed. Burgermeister provides great customer service. They really hustle on that truck and they make good burgers. Worth checking out if you haven't already.

When I heard that Milwaukee tool on Lisbon had a bunch of Milwaukee food trucks on the property I…read morewent over for lunch to check out what was going on. It turns out that it was some sort of employee appreciation thing where they hand you red tickets to use on any truck, yah I totally crashed there lunch but I didn't pretend to be an employee and paid for my lunch. I almost had a problem since it was a private event there was no cash drawer, she had to ask if cash was ok and realized they have no change so I think she gave me change from her own pocket to take care of me. I tried to spread the word at work but no one had the balls to crash the event, there words for the most part. My thoughts are that if you see 8 popular Milwaukee street food trucks in a strange place or business stop and check it out. It was a tough choice because all the trucks were all the trucks I would like to try but a gourmet burger from burgermeister sounded good. I opted for the bacon burgermeister, $7 and no frys. The bacon burgermeister didn't look very gourmet, see my picture. It was a bun with a beef patty, bacon, cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced onion and a slice of tomatoe. The bun was very disappointing because it reminded me of your average back yard BBQ burger bun dense/hard, gourmet should be an outstanding bun in my opinion. The lettuce was just regular iceberg and gourmet should have a better option. The diced onion did not work either because it was falling out with each bite. The bacon was razor thin so there was a minor taste of bacon. The one thing I liked was the beef patty because it had great flavor and if the other items were geared towards gourmet this would have been a good burger. I don't understand all the 4 and 5 stars that this truck is getting so I was expecting something mind blowing or at least better than average. To my Yelp friends who have higher star ratings, I'm just being honest with today's visit and the pictures have been posted to back up my review. Overall I was not impressed with the baconmeister from the gourmet truck and I was expecting more and I'm not saying it was bad. The baconmeister was an ok burger for what it was and it looked like an ordinary burger so I really didn't see anything special about this truck.
