Food was good, I enjoyed it. Food truck prices across the board is high, but so is everything else. I would purchase again at some point. Thank you.

The brisket and pork sandwiches were delicious. The potato salad and Mac and cheese were also good just a bit heavy on salt but of course it was eaten. Will definitely order again anytime we see Logan's food truck

Really good brisket. Mac n cheese was very good also. I would like to know how to find your truck outside of Boeing.

This is our favorite food truck. Everyone in our family loved it, including the toddler. The food is obviously amazing, but the portions are large as well. Top tier. It is the standard by which all other food trucks will be measured in our house.

Not so much liquid for the sausage sandwiches. The roll gets soggy and you can't pick it up without it falling apart everything had great taste!

Very good sauce. Really good brisket and mac n cheese. Unfortunately the portions are small. Ordered the brisket/mac n cheese. 1 piece of brisket and a cup of mac n cheese for $15 not incl tax.
