Okay these sandwiches are HUGE. It took me awhile to decide which one I wanted but I went with "the boss" because brisket. I couldn't even finish it in one sitting. It was an amazing treat to try on a sunny Saturday afternoon. When lent is over and I'm back to eating out, I'd definitely give them a try again! read more

We had Ruthies for a Block Party, and it was perfect for both young and old -- everyone LOVES a grilled cheese sandwich! They put some new twists on grilled cheese which were delicious, especially the brisket grilled cheese. The service was excellent, and the wait times were short. You get a sandwich, chips and a drink, too - so, it's a complete meal. We loved it, and will definitely have them again! read more

Best food truck in my opinion bar none. Plenty of good food trucks out there but this one just hits the spot every time I usually get Da Boss (grilled cheese with brisket) but decided to branch out and got the Kickin Chicken (grilled cheese, chicken and jalapenos). Was not disappointed one bit. Thank you Ruthie's crew for puting out top notch food read more

Crispy, gooey, goodness...should I say more? I guess I will. We had the pleasure of having Ruthies onsite and it blessed our lives! Not only was the truck beautiful, not only was the staff a group of delightful young women, the food was extraordinary. The turkey and the brisket seems to be the favorites but I had the brisket, THE BOSS! It's everything the reviews are saying. I'm a bbq snob so it takes a lot to impress me. How do they get the bread so crispy without being greasy? I don't know but I will find them at Klyde Warren Park next week for another treat. read more

I had the Plain Jane grilled cheese from this truck over the weekend and it was average at best. The bread was not overly compelling and the cheese tasted like it was Kraft singles. Nonetheless, it was a filling meal and the service and speed were good. A benefit is that they do take credit cards. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at this truck. read more

Couldn't really tell from the name of the truck but people seemed friendly so we stopped by. Ordered The Boss and it was amazing. Everything you want in a grilled cheese and everything you want in brisket combined into one buttery crunchy sandwich. Delicious. We would definitely eat again. While we were waiting we read about Ruthies charitable causes and we gave extra. Good people doing well by doing good! We would come back for sure. read more

Ruthie's comes regularly to SMU pretty much every week without fail during the school year, so I've indulged my need for grilled cheese quite a lot in 2016. Their Turkey Trot is consistently amazing, and I was so sad when they stopped serving the seasonal tomato soup poppers last winter! On National Grilled Cheese Day in the spring they were handing out BOGO coupons for everyone who added them on Snapchat, which I thought was a nice perk. Gotta find someone to use it with before it expires next summer. read more

Ruthie's Cafe - Pulled pork grilled cheese - Cafes Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Best grilled cheese I've ever had. Great cause as well - cafe momentum is doing amazing things downtown.

I wasn't too excited because the last time they were extremely late. It was due to an accident, and we were upset with the truck and the complex because there wasn't any communication. Today's my birthday, and I received an email that they were back at our location. The staff was extremely nice and answered any questions we had about the menu. I recommend them, I would just advise the company that if they are running late; communicating with the location would be great so that they can pass the information along. I would have been more understanding and wouldn't had left a 1- star review knowing the reason why they were late. Thank you all for serving at our complex!!!! read more

So good! My grilled cheese was perfection! It was that great mix of buttery (not greasy), crunchy, and gooey! Just the right cheese to bread ratio and my cheese pulled! It was like a warm hug:) Plus, the people in the truck were so kind and just awesome! You think you can just make this at home... nope, not like this. I'm definitely finding this truck again! Great business to support! read more

So this food truck came to my work and I liked their concept of taking the plain grilled cheese sandwich and turning it into something more. I ordered Italian hippy grilled cheese sandwich which was good it just needed a lil something extra?! Not quite sure....but maybe a spicy Mayo sauce or something. The pesto inside wasn't doing It for me. I'm still willing to try this place again and see what else they got. read more

I love food trucks, and Ruthie's was at the park downtown. I bought just a basic grilled cheese sandwich for my two year old, but had to sneak a bite, since I love grilled cheese sandwiches. It was good, not great. I think if you have a grilled cheese food truck, the basic sandwich should "wow." This one did not. read more

I had been meaning to try Ruthie's for many moons now, and I was finally successful at the Dallas Arts District Art in October free museum day. The first minor nuisance was that even though the facebook status said they would be ready by 11 am, they were turning people away at 11 am when I arrived, and asking us to come back at 11:30. There were about 5 other trucks with open windows at 11, so that was kind of a risky move to ask your hungry customers to hang tight! Anyway, when they were operational, I found the ordering and payment process pretty fluid. They take all credit cards and take your orders on a form, where you write in bread (white, sourdough, wheat, or jalapeno), meat (bacon, ham, turkey, etc), cheese (american, sharp cheddar, swiss, jack, etc), toppings (caramelized onions, uhh other stuff) and sauce (mustard, pesto, ranch, mayo, or their slop sauce). The best way I can describe their slop sauce is that it tastes like a mix between bbq, mayo and thousand island. In other words, it was really savory and creamy! I recommend this as the sauce! My ham, american cheese, caramelized onions, slop sauced sandwich on san francisco sourdough was good and came out relatively fast. The cheese was smooth, warm and melted on the bread and on the meat, the ham was salted nicely albeit a little tendony in places. The caramelized onions could do with some tweaking. They were large chunky slices of onion, slicing right through the cohesiveness of the sandwich, even the cheese glue that held it together couldn't contain these large chunks of onion. I think the onion could've been way thinner...would definitely help the sandwich stay together better. The bread however, was grilled expertly. That comforting bite of grilled cheese depends on that crunchy buttery, caramelly bread and the chefs did this well. I gave Ruthie's 3 stars mostly because I think it was a bit overpriced for being 1) a food truck and 2) a grilled cheese sandwich. Ruthie's is doing a brave thing by operating a truck that prepares customized orders, and maybe that contributes to the hefty $7.50 per sandwich. However, the price kind of takes away from the comfort factor you associate with a good ole grilled cheese. (If you want any extra meat, cheese, or toppings, that'll cost you about $2 more). Another reason why Ruthie's didn't get more love from me is because they still don't have a website!! When you rely on social media to communicate with your patrons, I think you really gotta have a functioning website. The COMING SOON! homepage at http://www.ruthiesrollingcafe.com has not changed in months. Also, their facebook fan page doesn't say much either about their offerings, or feature their food items. They do a good job updating their wherabouts but having a website will really help patrons know what's up with them. read more

The Grilled Cheese was amazing. I love that they offer gluten free bread. The flavors are done well and the staff are great. I love this food truck and wish that it was around different areas more. I look forward to eating here again. read more

We hired Ruthie's to cater our daughter and new son in law's "second day" wedding reception. They had a very small wedding on Saturday and then a big reception on Sunday for friends. It was a total HIT! We picked five different sandwiches that the 60 plus guests could choose from. Every guest commented how good the sandwiches were! I suggested that each couple get two different sandwiches and then switch a half, that way they could try two different sandwiches. Most people were not able to eat the whole sandwich, so a lot were wrapped up and taken home. The sandwiches are THAT BIG! The sandwiches came w/ chips and a drink. The team of three women were so much fun! Besides being fun, they were kind, courteous, polite, helpful and everything else that you want! It was a warm day and they even had a pop up tent so when people ordered, they were out of the sun! Not only was the staff great, but Robin Skinner, the Director of Catering, was terrific and answered so many of my questions and concerns. It was a terrific food truck and if you need a fun experience, go with Ruthie's. Our neighbors are still talking about it! read more

THE BOSS is THE BOSS! Cheesy, gooey, meaty, saucy, with a grilled crust! The best. Service was quick and they even had a gluten-free option. A little pricey for 1 sandwich... no sides or drink included in that $11-$12 but oh well. The BBQ brisket was amazing. read more

Had the pleasure to work with Ruthies recently for our first ever Food Truck Friday! From the first point of contact to the staff working on site in the food truck, it has been nothing but amazing. The good they do in the community shouldn't be overlooked, but their food definitely lived up to the hype! Look forward to working with them again soon! read more

My partner in crime thoroughly enjoyed their Italian Hippy. I tried a bite, and it was overflowing with cheese, chicken, pesto, and tomato. One I would definitely recommended and get again. The Extra Cheesy which I had while delicious, didn't feel overflowing, and for a $0.50 difference, was a little underwhelming. The Pepper Jack got lost in the other cheeses as well. I would definitely eat there again, but perhaps be a little more careful with my selections. Otherwise, a great grilled cheese on the go! read more

We were lucky enough to be invited to a birthday party that Ruthies was catering last night. This is without a DOUBT the BEST food truck I have had in Dallas. Dee was on the grill and I don't think there is another person in the city who is patient enough to achieve such a perfectly melted grilled cheese! Dee is a warm person and did everything to make sure we had enough to eat! We will definitely be following Ruthies and Dee! Cubano was delicious, but the Plain Jane grilled cheese and tomato soup was the classic combo it should be!! The soup wasn't overly creamy so it didn't feel heavy, plus it had a slight hint of after-heat that was great for a chilly evening. I was so impressed and happy to blow my diet for one of those sandwiches! read more

It's food truck Fridays at Trinity Falls where we live, and Ruthie's showed up with their sandwiches. We ordered the El Cubano (for me) and the Turkey Trot (for my wife) both of which were absolutely magnificent. In mine, there was the pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese and pickles on a nice sourdough Texas style toast. The meat was tender, very flavorful and a very respectable version of the classic sandwich. Texas sized as well. My wife loved her Turkey Trot (dry because she's not a sauce person). Even without the slob sauce she loved how flavorful the bacon, turkey and cheddar was together on that toasted sourdough. Praiseworthy sammies to be sure! A word about the truck: the staff were quick, friendly and groovin' to Earth Wind and Fire while they whipped up our tasty morsels. Everything looked clean and tidy, and it was obvious that they enjoyed being here to serve up their goodies tonight. If you see them on the street, roll on up - you won't be disappointed! read more

Growing up on grilled cheese this place is heaven. I never knew grilled cheese could have so much flavor and options but Ruthies does the job very well. The boss is excellent with moist brisket and just the right amount of cheese. The crazy chicken can be a little spicy with the jalapeño ranch dressing but definitely packs the flavor. Definitely worth the visit. read more

Almost any idiot can make a grilled cheese sandwich, so I was skeptical to think that there really needed to be a truck entirely devoted to this comfort classic. I was wrong. In fact, I would venture to say that I have been more impressed Ruthie's than any other food truck in Dallas. They are simply doing things right, quality ingredients, convenience, affordable, fresh food. The cheese always comes out perfectly melted, the breads are always toasted just enough, the other topping (bacon, onion, etc) are not overly complicated but a perfect compliment and flavor enhancement to the cheese, which is really all you want in a grilled CHEESE sandwich. The novelty of the Dallas food truck is beginning to wear off...finally. It's about time for food truck to start standing on their own two feet and producing a product that rivals or surpasses their brick and mortar counterparts. Otherwise, the whole truck business is a complete waste of time. Ruthie's, IMO, is proving that great food can come from trucks and that it's actually worth your time to hunt some of them down. read more

Superb service, superb sammies, and most of all superb ordering system. I adore their concept and graphics, but most of all their fun way of ordering off a sheet of paper with all their yummy options. My favorite being the hippie whole grain bread. It was delish and packed with nuts and grains. I always assumed it was just grilled cheeses, but no - they have a plethora of meats to grill into a gooey euphoric medley of cheese, meats, and your choice grilled onions, jalapenos, and more! Considering my love for Swiss cheese, I settled for the turkey and Swiss grilled cheese with jalapenons. I hummed at every bite I took. The people and the food have made me a continuing customer. read more

Sugar Bear is a BIG fan of grilled cheese sandwiches. He's known to get them for breakfast when we dine at Cafe Brazil. He has also concocted some mad grilled cheese experiments of his own in our kitchen...not fun to clean up after...believe me! When I saw Ruthie's Rolling Cafe with the 'build your own grilled cheese' option, I knew it would be Sugar Bear's dream sandwich! I ordered the sour dough bread with pepper jack cheese. Bacon (of course!) was the meat, dijon mustard and pickles finished it off. The sour dough was home made and incredible. The cheese was ooey gooey delight! He was dazzled at the crunchy perfection of the bacon...it was crispy but not charred to death. He really was impressed, and I loved it on my several bites as well. YUM! The service here is outstanding! The cook forgot to put the dijon on the sandwich and so he chased me down to my car to give me a side of the mustard with a big apology! Wow! I was very impressed! I hope Ruthies continues to make the journey north to Addison or Carrollton more often! Delish! read more

So, take this review with less than a grain of salt, more like a fraction of a grain of salt, a tithing of a grain of salt.... Walked up to the Ruthies' Food Truck during the Greenville's St. Patrick's Day Parade, and yes I did expect higher prices and less of a selection. That's a given. Ruthies was only selling breakfast tacos, none of their grilled cheese. Egg and cheese tacos were $3.50 each and Bacon, egg and cheese were $4.50 each. The bacon tacos took longer to make, so you put in your order and wait to the side to get it. We did this, we waited and told other people lining up behind us to go ahead and order because we were just waiting for our food. We still waited and watch the two customers behind us get bacon, egg and cheese tacos, receive their order and walk away. The two guys at the front gave our orders away and admitted they forgot about us. They could see us the whole time! Not cool. They offered free chips but that was not enough for the half hour we wasting waiting for overprices breakfast tacos. Ruthies may be awesome but not during special events. read more

All I have to say is: BBQ Brisket Grilled Cheese. I've driven from the north dallas burbs to their location next to the museum of art in uptown, just for this brisket grilled cheese a few times now. I've eaten great BBQ all over the country, and this is for sure in the top 5 for me (excellent sauce, tender flavorful meat, Cheese, butter, great bread). I haven't been overly impressed with Dallas BBQ (b/c I haven't been here that long) so I don't want to say it's "the best" b/c I haven't eaten at a bunch of specifically dallas places, but i've tried BBQ from TX to SC and everywhere in between and this is among my favorites. I have no idea about any of their other menu items, because after the long drive to get to them, all I want is their BBQ brisket grilled cheese. SO GOOD. read more

I've tried a lot of food trucks in the Dallas area and Ruthie's has to be one of my least favorites. While they have a cute truck and an efficient ordering system, there was still over a 20 minute wait for a grilled cheese. I wouldn't mind the wait time if the product was worth it, however I think my niece or nephew could do better. I ordered the grilled cheese with ham on sourdough with caramelized onions and their special sauce. First off there was no sauce on my sandwich. Secondly my cheese wasn't melted. Actually the sandwich was barely warm. Part of what is appealing and comforting about a grilled cheese is the melted gooey warm cheese goodness. This sandwich had none of that. After the long wait I got a ham and cheese that I could have picked up anywhere. The caramelized onions were lukewarm chunks of limp sauteed onions that actually detracted from the taste.. The sandwich components did not work and it was poorly made. With so many good choices on the food truck scene I would recommend you choose another food truck and make your own grilled cheese. You will enjoy it much more and avoid the wait. read more

American classic, grilled cheese sandwiches. I chose to build my own and got the ham with cheese and carmelized onions. WOW, so good. yes, it's simple and yes, I guess I COULD make them at home but fuhgetaboutit, just have Ruthie's make it. It's not 5 stars b/c it IS a bit pricey for grilled cheese, but it's something I don't have all the time so I'll pay the $7.50. Will try another kind/"build my own" read more

Best grilled cheese ever! My team and I tried The Boss sandwich as part of the DFW Share Dare 2012, where Ruthie's was a stop/challenge along the way. I'm so glad they did, because now I've discovered another great food truck. Best grilled sandwiches in the world = not understated. The next time I come back, I'm itching to order their Classic sandwich to see what it's all about. But for the sandwich we tried, it had all the perfect elements-- smoky Texas BBQ, rich sharp cheddar cheese on flaky, perfectly toasted sourdough bread. Absolutely divine. 4.5 stars. read more

Ruthie's Cafe - The Boss sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I checked out Ruthie's Rolling Cafe here in Dallas today. They do grilled cheese. They've streamlined their menu greatly since the previous time I saw them in the wild. It looked like they only offered 5 varieties of sandwich (basic cheddar, ham and swiss, turkey and american, bbq and cheddar and patty melt). Everything was listed as being on sourdough. The bread was ok, but seemed almost like it was put directly on the grill without butter or oil. There was no buttery taste or texture in the grilled bread and only the slightest indication of any oil used in the grilling. The sharp cheddar was good, but the bbq seemed closer to store bought than I expected. I'd rather go to Lee's Grilled Cheese, but I doubt you'll ever find them at the same place at the same time. read more
