Food Truck Review: I'm from a much larger metropolitan area, so finding options for food I like is…read moredifficult at best in any small town. Add to that that I'm extremely picky, and it's a mix for cooking food for myself most days here in SC. But, let's start simple:
Iron Door BBQ - I located them quite by accident, but decided to try the experience at the food truck. If you're looking for them, they are in a great, easy to find location.
Kid's/Senior's menu - ORDERED Sliders & 4 oz side:
Pickles: if they make their own, they need to consider jarring them and selling them by themselves. These dills have the right amount of dill flavor and snap that any quality pickle should have. I liken them to Clausen dill pickles - the only ones I normally eat. OUTSTANDING.
Brisket Sliders: Two come in the kids meal, and I ordered them just as they come (no mods). Two small toasted rolls with more brisket than bread (very generous with the meat), and just the right amount of regular sauce placed right on top of the meat. The brisket is tender and seasoned very well. The smoky flavor with the pickle and the sauce - AMAZING. The meal is enough to eat for lunch and not feel so full that you need a nap.
Smoky Mac n Cheese: I wasn't quite sure I'd like this, but ordered it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised by this cheesy goodness that has cracked pepper and just the right amount of smoke flavor, mixed with this velvety cheese and perfectly cooked elbow mac. Stellar side!
Regular menu - ORDERED Loaded Potato (you pick the meat):
I ordered the potato because, I'll admit, a loaded potato to me is the PERFECT meal. This one was going to be judged hard. You wait a few minutes for this, but after eating it, it is WORTH IT. The potato is a medium size potato, perfectly baked, soft but not wrinkly and dry. As a creature of habit, I chose brisket . Same generously portioned, tender brisket covering the top of the potato, with shredded cheese and green chiles. Once your toppings are added, this is a meal enough for several days, or multiple people, and frankly, I don't plan on sharing this with anyone! Note, the regular potato comes with nacho cheese, but when asked, they were more than happy to swap it out with shredded cheese.
Again, I ordered to-go through the food truck, but I received upbeat, pleasant service that set my expectations on wait time (which was even shorter than I thought it would be). My bag contained my warm food, napkins and utensils (without needing to ask) and was brought out with a smile. This was a 5-star experience from the food truck and I'm betting the restaurant service and food is the same. I'm glad I branched out to try Iron Door when I was craving good BBQ, as this place serves just that. Their menu is much larger than my choices above, and as mentioned, they have a kid's and senior's menu, if you prefer smaller portions, or want to try many things.
Try it - you won't be disappointed!
