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

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

My order wasn't ready despite getting the ready for pickup and it then started raining on me but they still went out there way to make up for it and bring it to me as I was hiding for cover. Thank you so much!!!

I was late picking up food because I got an unexpected work call I had to take. They offered to remake my sandwich when I picked it up. I declined and the sandwich was still very delicious.

Aloha Friday worked out great for us. It was easy for them to serve our 350 middle schoolers in less than 2 hours. We offered them 3 choices and the kids loved the Spam Musubi, Chicken Teriyaki and Spicy Tuna Bowl. I would definitely work with them again! The communication with using Best Food Truck to get to them was a little spotty but it all worked out in the end.
