We have done the food truck at the New Hope Hy Vee several times as well. A delicious juicy burger perfectly seasoned with a massive crispy meat skirt. Served with fries at Rosetown (but I believe not at the remote food truck) the fries are worth it. The bun was great and held up to the juicy burger. This one is not to be missed! One single and one double cheese plain came to $30 cash with tax and tip. Great value.

The Spicy Boi was excellent, and it was a hard choice for that one vs some others on the menu. Fries are okay, I was kinda hoping for a more thick cut diner/food truck kinda fry (crispy from the animal fat and such), but the shoestring cut with herb and salt seasoning was good too. I'd probably get the sweet potato fries next time, try those out.

I came to work and saw their food truck outside and I knew I had to get lunch here. Me and my…read morecoworkers all had to get some food. Before going straight to the truck, we tried to find a menu online with pricing to decide what we wanted. We found a few different things online but nothing that was accurate. Also it would be great if they had a online order option as well cause we have short lunch breaks. We all went out to the truck and got great service. The people running thr truck are friendly and funny. Most of the food took about 10 minutes but one of us waited almost 20 minutes. Everything was cooked to order, hot and fresh though. I got the ghost wings and they were amazing! My coworker got the catfish and hush puppies and everything was soooooo good. If you ever see this truck, I recommend it for sure. I will be a repeat customer.

I ordered the chicken wings (you get 4 whole wings) for $10. The price was not bad considering you get the entire wing. I got the BBQ sauce, and it was little boring. Not great. I expected the wings to be tossed in the sauce, instead, the sauce was simply squirted on. This created inconsistent flavor bites. Some parts of the wing had no sauce, other areas had too much. I also added on $6 seasoned fries. Definitely not worth it. Fries were just okay and not worth $6 from a portion size and taste perspective. I also asked for ranch, and I was happy to not be charged extra. But my gosh, that was probably the worst ranch I've ever had. Just not good at all. Looking back, I probably wouldn't pick these guys again if there are other food trucks in the area. That said, I do kind of want to try their pulled pork and pulled pork fries. Maybe those items will be better.

The bread looks impressive with it's waves and herbs and it was nice and crunchy but it's ultimately just white bread. The BBQ panini is on the sweet side but liked that it has bacon. You get a crispy pickle with your sandwich. My other coworker got the vegetarian Mediterranean sandwich which has hummas and she really liked it. Mine wasn't bad but wasn't wow. I also asked about the food truck name and picture of the "pinup" woman on the side of it. Apparently the owner has a lot of people in his family who were in the military and this was was his way of honoring them...umm ok!

Thankfully, I had the opportunity to try their sandwiches at the 'Tapped and Uncorked' beer tasting event in Rosemont. It was a dream come true to have them there -- and so many beers to sample along side. I ordered their Cuban Panini, with Ham, Chicken, Swiss, and pickle. It also includes your choice of mustards -- yellow mustard for their 'classic' Cuban, and Jalapeno mustard for their Atomic version. The owners were very accommodating and friendly when I asked for a "half and half" version for me with different mustards on each half. Unfortunately, when the sandwich arrived, both sides were slathered in their respective mustards making it difficult to taste the subtle flavors of chicken, swiss and ham. The chicken was over-portioned and pork was under-represented. I would have welcomed a slice of Genoa salami (making it a Tampa-style Cuban) for more dimension. As served, it wasn't close enough to an authentic Cuban experience to satisfy my craving. It was a sandwich 'out of balance.' I think Panini Pinups is capable of making good sandwiches -- and this is my first visit -- so I've given them three stars (great service) instead of two (disappointing Cuban). In part, this is because I still have HIGH HOPES for their SPAM Panini served with Siracha mayo, American cheese and pineapple.

Overall Score: 4/5 Solid spot for a Chicago-style fast food…read morefix. Messy, greasy, and flavor-forward in the way you want. Food [2/3] Let's talk flavor and execution. Philly Sandwich Steak - This was a well-built sandwich. The onions, peppers, steak, and cheese came together in a cohesive mix, so each bite included a little of everything rather than feeling uneven or scattered. The cheese melted into the filling nicely, acting almost like a binder that brought the flavors together. The roll looked oversized at first, but its soft, airy texture created an excellent meat-to-bread ratio. My only criticism is that the beef seemed slightly overcooked, which introduced a touch of dryness. That may vary from sandwich to sandwich, but it was noticeable here. The sandwich can feel a bit heavy bite-after-bite. Italian Beef Sandwich with The Works - "The Works" included hot peppers, dipped in broth, and American cheese. Presentation-wise, this sandwich did not make the best first impression. The pale roll and heavily soaked exterior were not especially appealing visually, and with the extra dip, this is absolutely a sandwich best eaten fresh on-site rather than taken to go. But the first bite changed everything. The jus soaked into the bread and delivered a rush of flavor, while the beef was sliced and portioned in a way that made every bite feel substantial and satisfying. The giardiniera brought welcome heat and acidity, cutting through the richness and keeping the sandwich from feeling too heavy. The American cheese stayed in the background, but that actually worked to the sandwich's advantage by allowing the broth and beef to remain the focal point. This was the standout item, and easily the reason I would return. Cheese Curd - These were lightly battered, which let the cheese take center stage. For a fast-food setting, they were quite good and better than expected. Breaded Mushrooms - These are good if you miss and crave breaded mushrooms. Biting into these, one would expect a hot oily broth to flow out adding to the mushroom flavor, but there was no broth and the mushroom flavor was light. The marinara type sauce didn't pair well, so I did get a side of ranch to dip these in. Would order these again only if I crave bread mushrooms. Service[1/1] Service was exactly what it needed to be for a fast-food restaurant: prompt, clear, and helpful. The cashier took my order efficiently, clarified the available add-ons for the Italian beef, and responded well when I asked for a water cup. When I came back for ranch, he accommodated that request without issue. It was not full-service dining, nor should it be judged as such, but it met the standard for good quick-service hospitality. Atmosphere/Ambiance[0/1] The dining area is functional but not inviting. Seating is limited to a handful of booths and a small round table, and while the tables had been cleared, they were not especially clean. Flickering menu boards added to the worn fast-food feel, and the steady presence of people coming in to use the ATM created a somewhat distracting atmosphere. It gets the job done, but ambiance is not part of the appeal here.

They are open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays and 11 pm all other days, so they are a good spot to check out if you're looking for a late dinner or snack! It is a relatively casual spot! You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table if you're doing dine in. They have burgers, hot dogs, tacos, burritos, and more, and they do have a couple of vegan and vegetarian items on their menu! I went with esquite and the vegan tacos! This was my first time having soy curls as my protein alternative for tacos, and I did enjoy the chewy texture! It came with 2 salsas on the side, which both have a little bit of a kick to them, although the salsa verde is the milder of the two. The salsas are both delicious! It is not my number 1 taco (as someone who prefers a mushroom taco), but I would definitely get it again! As for the esquite: this one had A LOT of queso cotija, but could have used a bit more chile de arbol! With that being said, esquite will always taste good, and I do love when places offer both elote and esquite! Overall takeaway is that this is a good spot open relatively late offering both Mexican and American foods and a few vegetarian/vegan options!
