We hired District Small Bites food Truck for our company picnic lunch, and they exceeded all expectations! The team arrived promptly on time, setup was seamless, and the service was top-notch. The food was absolutely delicious, with a variety of options to cater to our diverse team's tastes. Every employee raved about the quality and flavor of their meals. What truly impressed us was the outstanding service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured everyone had a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend District Small Bites food Truck for any corporate event or gathering. Their professionalism, flexibility, and commitment to quality made our picnic a huge success. Thank you, District Small Bites, for a memorable and enjoyable experience!

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

Tasty Maryland was amazing!!!! The company fed 63 people, and everyone raved about the food! That is rare that everyone was satisfied! The crab cake was awesome. I was skeptical about renting a food truck, but if you ever need a truck, they are your go-to!!! Delicious food and awesome people!!!

The food was delicious! The attention to detail was great - they poked holes in the box so my fries and fish didn't get soggy from the steam. Much appreciated!!
