I ordered noodles with a side of chicken. On the description of the noodles it says it comes with grilled vegtables and there were none.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

Ashley was awesome! She checked in days beforehand to coordinate proper timing and setup, and she endured the extreme heat to provide great food and friendly service for four hours. People really enjoyed the tacos and nacho selections. Outstanding addition to our house party!

The pulled pork sandwich, and the baked beans were very good. I had potato salad, too, but it tasted like a bit too much vinegar. I like creamy potato salad and creamy cold slaw. I will eat from the truck, again.
