Situated at a tiny Shell gas station in Stilwell, KC, this food truck honestly feels like hitting a jackpot!!
They are a halal BBQ food truck with chicken, lamb, and beef options, and the menu is pretty small. However, their catering menu is much bigger. I appreciate the halal cuts because I feel like the meat stays tender and tastes better that's why I was really excited to try this place.
We went on a sunny afternoon and ordered two chicken leg quarters, a beef sandwich, and three sides - kale salad, French fries, and mac and cheese. The person taking the order was friendly and got the order out within 10 mins.
There's no place to sit near the truck which was a let down and that's why we got to go. After having the food, I was transported straight to my happy place - this barbecue is different in the best way. The spices, the halal meat made a difference, and everything tasted so fresh. .
The chicken quarters had a slight Middle Eastern flavor, could taste something like sumac or Zaatar and they were bbqd well to perfection (the pricing could have been a little better for the chicken because the size wasn't big and $19.99, you can easily get a meat o
Plate outside). Saying that, it was easily some of the best chicken I have had.
The beef sandwich was just as good..way better than the chicken. The brisket was chopped into cube style pieces, soft, juicy and full of flavor, served on thick Texas toast toasted well. It also had coleslaw and a slice of white cheddar, which worked well together.
As for the sides, I liked all of them. The mac and cheese had just the right amount of cheese, the kale salad tasted fresh with a nice dressing, and the fries were crunchy and salty. Their bbq sauce was spot on too.
I want more folks to know about this food truck. It is a little different from the usual Kansas City BBQ taste, and the quality really stands out. I hope they grow and open a restaurant someday with slightly better pricing.
