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.
