Food was good!! Needed more sauce and not sure why eggs were in it. Chicken pad Thai doesn’t normally have eggs and bean sprouts.

The sandwich meat was great and the Mac-n-cheese were very good too! I would have like some sauce on the side as an option.

Their time management could be worked on, and when ordering it doesn't allow you to choose mild, medium or hot like it says so they just give you hot

Already left a google review-Philly melt and Boom Boom wrap both had outstanding flavor, quality ingredients, and cooked perfectly! Couldn’t be better!

the service was excellent! This is our first time hiring a food truck from BTF and it was super last minute. I submitted my request on Friday before Memorial Day, for a Memorial Day Luncheon and BTF did not fail us. Our truck was here one hour before event started and was here until all the food we paid for was served. Will definitely use you guys again.

NFM says that was the best Philly sandwich of all the trucks that come to Wright farms. I should have ordered 2 (more) for later. Raise your price and stay in business. Please come back again. Friend NFM
