It was the one that did not say Lebanon on truck .it was to your right of river level. $30.00 for brown lettuce. I'll never waste my time on that food truck festival in Hartford ct again. My 1st. And last time .$70.00 in all between 2 people. Could of gone and should of gone to a nice restaurant and paid more would of enjoy the food at least. And I was Hungry so was my 19 yr old grandson. We both would never recommend or return to the Hartford food truck festival again in our life time.

What The Truck BBQ #RiverfrontFoodTruckFestival…read moreWe drove to Hartford to see what the food truck collection was like. We sampled 4 trucks. This was by far the best we found. I am fussy about my BBQ and have not usually found much to cheer about in CT (I do like Pig Rig and my own). These folks had their smoker right out back of their food truck; it's a beautiful thing to behold and the smell of genuine smoked-right-there meat was enough to get us to the counter. The turkey legs were just coming off the smoker and the burnt ends were on-the-way, so we waited ~20 minutes (worth it!) to get an order of those. When they say the turkey drum is ginormous, they are serious (see photo) and the flavor!!! The true art of BBQ is not how much gooey sauce you can slather onto a piece of meat or how spicy you can make the rub. It's all about getting a balanced flavor from the smoke. You can't duplicate this from a bottle and it really takes someone with experience to make the smoke and the meat dance like this. YOU MUST try the turkey legs if you can get one. If not, the burnt ends are really done well. Not quite the same burnt ends you would get at a good Texas BBQ place, but certainly the best I've had outside of Texas. Aside from the cool name, What The Truck BBQ is a must stop.

"Keep on truckin', baby I got to keep on truckin'…read moreGot to get to your good lovin'" (Eddie Kendricks) The Chick-fil-A food truck was parked in front of Tractor Supply in Simsbury today, so guess where we stopped to pick up lunch? The food truck menu is a slimmed down version of what you find in their brick and mortar stores. One salad, one wrap, two sandwiches, nuggets, mac and cheese, fries, a fruit cup and 2 desserts. All of the food is precooked and prepackaged except the waffle fries which are cooked on site. For nineteen dollars we bought a Classic Chicken sandwich, a Spicy Chicken sandwich and an order of waffle fries. The sandwiches were just a nicely fried chicken breast on a bun with 2 pickle slices. No dressing, no lettuce. My spicy chicken was indeed spicy, but I asked for a packet of their sweet Sriracha sauce to crank these up a bit and I was surprised at how much firepower was in that little packet. The gent that took our order was pleasant, and the fries cooked up pretty rapidly. No way we could resist mooching a few straight out of the bag on the drive home. There is advertising on the side of the truck should you be interested in booking it for a business event or a family shindig.

Maggie's Hot Dog Truck had come up as a good hot dog spot in my area Yelp Searches. The history of…read morethe truck is addressed in pics and in other reviews. Bottom line. It's an old truck, that has been refurbished, has a cool history and has been in business as a red hot dog truck for over 50 years. Maggie's has hot dogs, kielbasa and chili. They also have drinks, chips and cookies. Maggie's uses Mucke's natural casing dogs, which is definitely not something that most CT places use. Maggie's does not have any specialty hot dogs per se, but they do have their own chili and some other standard toppings to choose from. I ordered a hot dog with chili and mustard. I haven't had a Mucke's in a while. It seemed like it was probably steamed. Good flavor. Good snap. The chili sauce was meaty and tasty. Definitely above average for CT. The mustard was good too. I would definitely recommend Maggie's if you're in the area and want a hot dog or chili to go. 4.5 Stars

Maggie's Hot Dog Truck is a restored 1934 GMC Model T-18, and the history alone is worth a look. It…read morestarted out transporting workers to CCC camps in the 1930s, then the State of Connecticut used it to move prisoners to work details, then it became an ice cream and popcorn truck in Hartford before eventually ending up in a junkyard. Robert "Red" McCormick later rescued and restored it, and it's been serving hot dogs for more than fifty years now. At this point it's basically a local icon for those who know, and can be found over on East River Drive in East Hartford. The menu is simple--hot dogs, kielbasa, chili, drinks, chips, cookies--and that's exactly the right call for a place like this. I had two hot dogs and both were great. Quick service, good flavor, and they were wrapped well enough that I had zero concerns about anything spilling on the way back to the office. Overall, a fun, straightforward lunch stop with good food, and fun character and history. If you appreciate old-school spots that keep things simple, this one's worth a visit.

It was peak foliage season and the orchards still had a ton of apples. The parking lots were completely full and people were parking everywhere, even in the orchards; it was insane. The last time I came, it was earlier in the day and in the summer. There were no lines at the Orchard Truck. There were seats open everywhere from the Adirondack chairs, the picnic tables on the field, and under the huge tent. A food truck was there. There was a viewing platform; the place had priceless views of the hills. I can understand why it was packed the second time we went; the foliage here is amazing. The customer service was good and the ciders were even better. I had a flight of ciders and they all tasted great. There were plenty of porta potties too. Overall, a beautiful place! Just don't go when it's peak season because parking was atrocious.

Pretty decent taco from a food truck…read more It's a small taco truck down a street next to the convention center. Price is reasonable, the chicken was overcooked but the butter curry sauce was flavorful. The garlic naan was soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and was lacking in garlic. The chips were fresh and the salsa was light and chunky. For a taco truck taco, it's pretty good especially given the location. I have higher expectations for butter chicken and garlic naan, but it was reasonably executed for the location. Not a food truck I would seek out, but it's a good option if they are set up in your area

They've taken the simple concept of grilled cheese and put it on another level. Other grilled cheese trucks just don't compare! I personally think it's the bread - and the people behind it! One of the main locations they setup shop is the Xfinity Theater in Hartford. It's a concert tradition of ours to get Whey Station before a show. DON'T be intimidated by the line - it moves quick and it's worth it. I can't count the number of sandwiches I've ordered specifically at Xfinity! Just see the photos for proof LOL A fan favorite is definite the "Channing Tater" but I also love to do the "Monger" with jalapeno & bacon. My mouth is watering already!
