Tried this food truck at Flying Machine in Wilmington. Facebook or their website is a good way to find out where they will be. They usually travel on the east coast of NC. I like how they provide a pager so you didn't have to wait in front of the truck until your food is ready. The owner was friendly and helpful in picking out entrees. I ordered the Scenario sliders and husband ordered the CowDogPig sliders. Each one came with 2 sliders. The Scenario was good but I liked the CowDogPig better. The Scenario contained 2 thin beef patties topped with American cheese, pulled pork, slaw, blue cheese dressing, and bacon jam. The pulled pork didn't have much flavor, just slightly sweet. The combination of all of the ingredients and flavors made it taste good. The CowDogPig had thin beef patties, cheese, Nathan's beef hot dog, grilled jalapenos and onions, and bacon jam. I will definitely get the CowDogPig next time! The Scenario sliders were enough for me but husband was still a little hungry. So you may want to order one of the tator tot sides or more sliders to make your meal filling. read more

I've never had the pleasure of eating their food before today. And I must say I wasn't disappointed. The burger sliders were cooked the perfection and seasoned just right. The kids burgers were great portions and the tots were simple but enjoyable. They could spruce up the outside of the truck to bring people in but I'd say they are on the right track overall. read more

Always a great surprise when you're at a brewery...just doing your thing...when you discover an awesome new food truck. Mari's looks like it's based out of New Bern but travels as far as Wilmington and Greenville. The menu is mostly down and dirty gourmet style sliders and dogs. One of their more popular items is The Scenario - two sliders with pulled pork, bacon jam, slaw and bleu cheese! Crazy tasty! The Smash Sumpthin' was sooo good - fresh cooked tater tots smashed and covered with cheese and sour cream - like a cross between hashbrowns and a french fried baked potato! (Goes great with beer) There's just an amazing energy around this truck- all items made with TLC. Just check out her slide it forward program, where you can randomly buy someone a meal for $6 - or maybe you might be the recipient.... read more

We tried Mari's Hella Fat Food truck for the first time tonight and we were impressed with the sliders. I had the Gucci Gucci and my husband had the CowDogPig sliders. We will definitely visit again. read more

Menu options like Scenario, Paul Revere, Doggy Style to Smash Sumthin and Peter-Piper Slaw will make you drool. They even have vegan and kid options! Stay tuned, more "epicurious" adventures to come from this veteran-owned food truck. read more

Not only are the owners like the coolest nicest people ever BUT the fooooood....sheesh...this is not your classic frozen quick food...this is GOOD quality food even down to the presentation. I love cooking and am good at it but when I tried their chicken my feelings were a little hurt because it was 10 times better than my fried chicken. Anyways, you will not be disappointed no matter what you order from here. read more

This rating is based off of our most recent visit last night which was the 2nd time we have eaten from this food truck. Our first time while at the Crooked Lotus it easily scored a 5 star. This visit was while at the Salty Turtles 2nd anniversary party. I was handed a buzzer and kept an eye on the line of people waiting for a good 30-40 minutes. When I went back to the truck to see what the hold up was many seemed irritated with the wait. I could see at least 4-5 orders sitting ready next to the grill. When customers started saying their names in the window they staff some how found their food ready. Mine as well and it was cold but still had great flavor. I will eat with them again but maybe not when it's at a crowded event. read more

Mari's has the BEST street food in Eastern Carolina. The Scenario is to die for and hey have meatless options. The owners are amazing... Go to pound town on the tator tots!!! read more

Sooo sooo good. Can't wait to have more! The tots the burgers and the bbq couldn't ask for a better meal with a cold beer!

Mari's Hella Fat Food truck is my favorite food truck in ENC! The food is always fresh and delicious! I have visited her truck every chance I can get. Her online ordering feature was a game changer, but it is always worth the wait on nights where I don't order ahead of time! One of these days I am going to remember to get a pic of my food so I can enter it into her monthly photo contest, but we always eat it so fast! Haha! Keep doing amazing things Mari! read more

This food truck shouldn't be in business. I attended the 4th of July event on Topsail Island last weekend with my 3 children and chose this truck to eat at. When I ordered, they were out of buzzers which should have been my first red flag. We waited for TWO HOURS for 6 sliders!!! They continued taking orders even though the one cook they had was WAY behind to the point where she was asking them to stop so she could catch up (they ignored her). They did not tell me there would be any kind of wait let alone it would be alarmingly long. We were not able to enjoy the event at all because we were stuck next to that truck waiting to be called. My kids did not get to go on the playground, enjoy the band or dance on the dance floor. They were starving and miserable to the point of tears. I was stressed and miserable. My daughter wound up having a panic attack. The food was gross on top of that. The boys got theirs and were finished eating it before my daughter and I even got ours. They had no cold sodas. We got it just in time to sit down and see the fireworks. The entire event was ruined for us over this and we had looked forward to it for quite some time given it was our first holiday together in years. I requested a refund and was denied one. Everyone there waiting was absolutely livid and only one person got a refund. A week later and I am still so upset over this. Do not go to this food truck unless you want to wait literal hours for half assed gross food. read more

I'm kinda new to the food truck concept and really like the idea. These guys speciality is sliders and the really nailed the concept of restaurant quality food literally on the side of the road/in a parking lot. I had The Scenario and it was awesome, great blend of to flavors, made the burgers pop - you get 2 and its served with a crispy potato, think they're called Smash Tots. Meal was totally worth it! Side note, definitely want to try the Bacon Jam, it's off the chain!! read more

Pork sliders and tots were off the hook. Can't wait to go back. Friendly staff. Good portions. Fair prices.

Sorely disappointed that they decided to leave Good Hops after being there for only 2 hours. Our table of 4 we're going to place an order and my husband was told by the vendor they had already packed up and were leaving because business was too slow. We had intended to stop for a beer and a bite but apparently it didn't fit their time frame! I always look forward to trying a new food truck, unfortunately you lost our business. read more

The food is amazing and menu offered has a wide variety of options. Staff is incredible.
