Austin is a city that lives for great food, live music, and laid-back outdoor gatherings.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Truck arrived well before the event to prepare. The owners/workers were very friendly as I met them upon arrival. They provided a varied selection of entrees to satisfy everyone's tastes and provided options for those with dietary restrictions. Food was also delicious per the team; I can say the burgers and burritos were a hit.

Despite the fact that the food was fabulous, I will share with everyone I know to never patronize the Smokin' Dough food truck. The person who handed me my order was rude and yelled at me when I asked about the diet cola that I ordered that they were unable to fulfill. They do not understand customer service, and when I shared that I wouldn't be coming back, she seemed gleeful at that prospect. Smokin' Dough is not an inexpensive food truck and I had even left a 10% tip when I placed the order online. That was a huge mistake.

It was so fun having the truck at our wedding! The truck arrived on time, people were served quickly, and the person working the truck was so kind and accommodating. We loved taking photos with the truck with our photographer and we got sent with lots of leftovers at the end of the night. All our guests continue to rave about the ice cream sandwiches!

Customer service, the food, the atmosphere. They stayed during a storm, on top of all that did I say the food was great? Because it's soo good!
