    Seen here, rib, tips, pork, ribs, mac & cheese dirty rice, all delicious
    Peter K.

    Today we had the most delicious bar-b-que at Howard's and you should have it too ! Wife Mary and I visited Green, Cay Nature Center and wetlands park than headed over to Howard's food truck. It was AWESOME! Howard's smoked brisket is possiably the best I've ever had. Full Stop! Mary had the Rib Tips and they were equally delicious. Now for the collards.. OMG ! The Best! This is "Real Pit Bar-B-Que at its best. Howard was able to sit with us and tell us his story , how he began, his food truck is just a side gig. But his flavor and quality could steal the show. Howard recommends to call ahead with your order and it will be ready when you arrive.. He's parked his food truck in the same location for many years plan to eat in your car or take it away as there's only a small table with 4 or 5 chairs for emergency. His barbecue sauce is homemade. the tangy was very delicious. The hot was amazing. Oh, did I mention the collards? ! Get there early he runs out because his food is fresh . He loves to cater parties, pick up a menu when you get there and plan to throw a party with his food . Thank you, Howard for delicious food. See you again real soon. Peter & Mary

    Someone needs to humble this place. Everything tasted like it was made the day before and reheated... I have to say, I was VERY excited to try this place after finding the reviews on yelp. Had to wait a few weeks to get here on a Saturday but eventually made the trip out to get there right when they opened... was expecting a line down the block as is typical for a hot bbq spot open odd hours (think Franklin bbq in Austin). However, arrived and was the only one there. I ordered sliced brisket and ribs with coleslaw, Mac and cheese and cornbread. Was told they don't have coleslaw... never heard of a BBQ place with no coleslaw. Ok no problem I got the potato salad instead. I started with the cornbread since it was on top and it's best to eat that while it's hot. I was given a corner piece which was dry, crumbly and not edible. -1 star. Potato salad was very eggy if you like that style, I do not. Mac and cheese was bland, with the only cheese on top rather than mixed in, again not my style. -1 star on the sides. Ok so main event, Brisket and ribs. The brisket was tough, stringy and dry. It was also cut into little pieces rather than giving you the whole slice which was strange it wasn't chopped though thank goodness. -1 star for the brisket. I was given rib tips instead of ribs which was disappointing, however they were flavorful albeit difficult to eat as rib tips tend to be. Wash on the stars for the ribs since they gave me the wrong item even though it ended up being 1/2 decent. So, overall 2 stars for this place, that had certain items unavailable, inaccurate order fulfillment, bland sides, terrible cornbread, and dry, stringy brisket. I'm sure they have some great items, I just wasn't able to find them on this trip.

    This place is amazing!! I had the catfish and my boyfriend had the sausages. Everyone who is working there feels like family and is so dedicated to making great food! The catfish was so crispy and flavorful and the sausage was juicy and cooked very well. Also the sauce options compliment both of our meals. Not only is the food great it only took about 10 minutes or less to cook.

    Georgia style smoked sorcery available at this pop up gem. Get the brisket (fatty) and the pulled pork with dirty rice on the side. Amazing. Several sauces to choose from

    What days is the BBQ Truck open?

    Just Saturdays, I believe. They have a telephone number, listed. It is best to call before you go. Just in case they are off that week.

See a card on the table to scan to order. Took us a bit to figure it out. We also wanted to order ribs to go for later. Couldn't find that as an option. Didn't want all the sides. Just ribs. Nobody came by seeing us take a while to order on our phones. Then we pay-. Food comes out fast but for $30 it's just ok because the portions were small. 4 slices of brisket. We're told when they drop off tray if we wanted sauce it's "over there" Up until we're finished and nobody comes to check on us. See if all is well. So - zero tip. Who are we tipping?? Sadly won't be back. Felt unfriendly. I have been wanting to come here for a while. Drove an hour. Customer service matters guys.

It took a few minutes to get a grasp on the menu. The staff was friendly and helped explain everything. I ultimately went with the lean brisket, a side of coleslaw, a side of collard greens and they also added in a piece of cornbread. My wife got the same, except she got the regular brisket which was much more fatty. I absolutely loved my food. Even though the brisket was lean, it was still very tender and of course the flavor was sensational. The sides were also solid. I liked that the coleslaw was chopped on the finer side and it wasn't too saucy. The collard greens also had great seasoning. I didn't try the cornbread but it looked pretty good. The only complaint we had was the texture of my wife's brisket which was a little on the mushy side. The flavor was good, it's just texture wise, most of it was like a big blob of meat and fat, rather than brisket slices. She wound up throwing more than half away. I've actually passed this place a million times and eaten at restaurants all over the area. But somehow I never stopped in at Mission BBQ. Glad I did! Four stars, I am looking forward to trying more items off their menu.

This is an almost chicago dog which comes with relish tomatoes and jalapenos. The bun was incredible as it was buttered and toasted and a good size hot dog bun! I really enjoyed my hot dog.

IF i ever see PS 561 again I would definitely buy another dog from their food truck. 5 Stars from me...because I love hot dogs and i love PS 561!

Thanks for taking the title to my 800th review :)…read more I finally got the honor of checking out this awesome food truck in downtown Lake Worth the other night for the Food Truck invasion event. The menu kicks ass. You can get a dog with different types of creative toppings. Each one of the menu items have a crazy name for them and it suits each one well. I wanted to try all of them, but I stopped myself from doing so. The Exchange Student was ahhhh-mmazing! It was topped with garlic mayo, pineapple, and potato chips. The bun was perfectly toasted with butter and I enjoyed each bite more than the last. My husband got the Principal Ron and it was topped with bacon, BBQ sauce, and goat cheese. I took a bite of his and it was good, but I wanted mine more ;) Kudos to the guy that was doing the orders that night since he was the only one on the truck doing all the work. Even though it was the longest line out of all of the other food trucks that were there, he quickly handled each order smoothly and didn't stressed about the crowd waiting for those delicious dogs. The schedule is online, so you can check out when and where you can get one or four of these delicious hot dogs. The $5 price is fairly reasonable for each one of them. I definitely will try a different one the next time I visit the truck.

But it's been 9 hours, and I still can't stop thinking about the Australian Wagyu Filet Katsu Sando I had for lunch. It was tiny, but packed a huge flavor, and it was the first time I ate a steak that melted like butter with every bite. It is amazing how a filet sandwich can be so soft, so tender, so flavorful - it's an experience that I won't soon forget. Because the sandwich was pretty small, I also enjoyed the Frito pie. The saltiness of the Fritos (that reminded me of being a child) juxtaposed with the tanginess of the pickled red onions, cream, cilantro and savory chopped wagyu meat was such a fun, but elevated nacho dish. There were so many drinks to choose from, but I really wanted to focus on the food this time. The staff (I think her name is Tuesday) was so kind and knowledgeable - she's the one who led me to the epic sandwich experience I had. The vibe was pretty chill despite being extremely busy. I'm typically not very cognizant of what people around me are eating, but the father and son at the table next to me had a burger, burrito, pb&j sando and more, and I have to admit, I was kind of jealous, because I wanted to try it all! What a gem of a restaurant - I have already made plans to come back with my parents!

There was an excessively loud table to our side and nobody used their "indoor voices".
