My husband and I placed an order for 2 entrees. When I went to pick it up, the food truck workers or owners were so kind, and they seemed excited to be here. That's refreshing at the end of a long day. The food was amazing!! My husband got the brisket tacos and Cajun fries and really enjoyed both! I got the brisket sandwich and sweet potato fries. The brisket sandwich was so tender and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were scrumptious. I received two different sauces with my order. They were unique and tasty. As the food truck worker or owner bagged our order, he added an additional basket on top of the entrees and said, "We've added a couple of apple pies on the house for the neighborhood to enjoy!" I was shocked ... and excited! In a time where food costs are soaring, no one offers items for free. To receive dessert "on the house" was such a kind and appreciated ending to a fabulous meal! We hope this truck comes back soon. We loved everything!

I ordered a prosciutto and hot honey pizza but they ran out of prosciutto and substituted pepperoni, but it would have been better with prosciutto. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was very good and we loved the crust!

Almost everything was deliciously perfect. The corn beef is so tender and beautifully seasoned. The cabbage however, was undergone and bitter, with bits of charred burnt areas.

Tony and Asath were absolutely wonderful! They handled the long line of students with such care, speed, and efficiency. They were true professionals from start to finish. I would absolutely hire Burger Point again and highly recommend them!
