First, we would like to thank Sarah's Triple S for vending at our event. The owners were welcoming and pleasant. The following are quotes from those staff that chose to eat from Sarah's Triple S truck: "Worth the wait!" "First time having a Smashburger and it didn't disappoint," "We wish there was a faster way to get our order, but we also understand that when the food is made fresh it takes a longer period of time," "We should order this truck again, just don't have so many people waiting to get their order," "I waited nearly an hour to get my order," "Fries and even the cheese fries were great" "Maybe there should be two-three cooks so food can come out faster." "I wish I didn't order from the other truck, everyone's burgers looked amazing!"

How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
