Way better than I was expecting. I'm not a fan of tater tots and like these very much. The Big Piggy is where it shined though. Wasn't dried out just , just the right portion size where you get your moneys worth.

We had an amazing experience with Brooklyn Burger! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food truck arrived right on time, was extremely clean and well organized, and the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Everything was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. I would absolutely recommend Brooklyn Burger to anyone looking for a food truck for an event. Great food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely be using them again!

This was restaurant-quality Irish dishes brought right to our doorstep. I need this truck on regular rotation! I'm not sure there is a local Irish restaurant that has food this good and with quality-fresh ingredients! The corned beef was so tender and beautifully seasoned. The sauces were delicious and complemented the sandwich perfectly. Love the fresh-cut fries and the lightly breaded pollock! Can't wait till they return!

The wonton chicken tacos are ridiculously delicious. Never had it before but just the thought of the description sold me.

It's just a good sandwich!!! First time eating at this food truck. Got the Chicken Club Melt and the chicken was cooked well, but the garlic aioli really made it! I want to try some other sandwiches🙌��

Food is always great and we appreciate that they have gluten-free buns. Most of the food trucks don't have any gluten-free options.

The food was great, there wasn't a long wait but they ran out of salsa and some of the toppings midway through the event.
