    Yes child, this is a hit! BBQ is one of my most favorite cuisines and I couldn't contain my excitement when I learned of their impending visit at my business complex. It appeared that BBQ is a favorite amongst many people as well as the line grew ever so long shortly after my group and I placed our orders. I ended up ordering the pulled pork burrito. It was an enormous burrito that could easily rival Chipotle's and had the delicious fillings of smoky pulled pork, sweet BBQ sauce, BBQ baked beans, rice, and coleslaw. A co-worker ordered the same burrito and neither one of us could finish it all in one sitting. I was able to see my other co-workers orders and they were also substantial in size. You don't need to worry if you will be hungry after eating because you won't! The customer service was great and our orders came out in a reasonable time. My only critique was that I did not like most of the sides they offered. Not their fault by any means but I would've loved to have seen some fries or corn. I would've most likely ordered one of them to have as a snack or part of a later meal. I hope they come back to my work soon!

    Brisket sandwich with extra sauce. Side Mac n cheese. Brisket is AMAZING!!!

    A few food trucks came to my work today and I choose Sweet Magnolia because of that amazing fresh smoked BBQ scent that filled the parking lot. The staff was amazing too! The guy helped suggest some good items and even hooked me up with the BBQ sauce since I told him I liked my sandwich extra saucy! I got a brisket sandwich with a side of Mac n cheese. And per my request, extra saucy with BBQ. The brisket was incredible! So tender and flavorful. The bbq was great too, just the right amount of sweet and Smokey. Next time I won't get the extra sauce, it was so messy and hard to pick up but that was my fault since I just had to get that extra saucy. But you bet I still ate that messy sandwich that covered my cheeks with BBQ sauce. Lots of napkins to make me a lady again. Lol I can't wait to try this truck again and explore their other options. Great food and awesome guys running it. Thank you for blessing my day with that amazing messy delicious lunch!

    Best BBQ in Tukee, friendly staff. Served fresh and warm. This place is going to do well, the food and portions are excellent for the price. Meat was cooked to perfection. Nice and tender with lots of flavor. Welcome to the neighborhood!!! We will be back.

    This was the worst food I've ever eaten. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich (mush with the sauce) and Mac and cheese and my fiancé ordered the brisket sandwich & potato salad I immediately had to change buns because it was like bbq sauce was just dumped in the container. Took two bites and trashed it, so mushy & horrible flavor. My fiancé's brisket had the same bbq sauce issue & his potatoe salad was just pretty much mustard soup. It was not edible at all. Waste of money! Never eating there again!

    The Brisket "bowl" (when they run out of tortillas)
    Brad W.

    Tried these guys at the Caravan in Scottsdale and they delivered some decent BBQ, but not enough brisket was present in the dish I ordered. I wanted the brisket burrito, but out of tortillas, so that turned into a burrito Bowl with lots of white rice, baked beans, chopped brisket and solid chopped coleslaw on top of everything. They did not include any BBQ sauce, but luckily I went up and got some warm sauce which was a perfect smoky flavor. The brisket was excellent too, but I just wish they would have dumped some more on there for 8 bucks. I gather that if I had ordered the sandwich, I would have gotten more meat, but next time. I'm glad I tried the slaw and overall the brisket I did get was fork tender and well cooked. Hey, this trailer has smokers inside so you know they are doing it right.

    Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse You know I love food and smoked and/or BBQ is one of my favorites. I came across a food truck today and wanted to share my experience with you. Walking up I was greeted by "B". I like this approach much better than trying to look up at a window and the person barely hearing me. I let "B" know right off the bat that I would be writing up a review and handed him my card. I also let them choose what type of sandwich and side I would be trying today since they all looked good. The truck was clean and signage is great. On the menu for lunch was a pulled pork sandwich on what was somewhat of a potato roll. Nice choice for the bread! The two sides were their macaroni and cheese and Cole Slaw. I'll talk about those in a minute. Pork Sandwich Taking my first bite surprised me. The pork was tender but the surprise was the sweet sauce. I can tell you it is a great reminder that the owner/chef is from the Magnolia state and the sweet BBQ they have in Mississippi. It was a great sandwich with the meat piled on thick. Cole Slaw The slaw had a peppery bite to it. Although it is a good compliment to the sweet sauce used on the pork, it is not my preferred type of Cole Slaw. But good none the less. Mac and cheese A very traditional southern flavor to the mac and cheese. I could eat a whole plate of just this. It was delicious. Peach Cobbler And for dessert I sampled the peach cobbler. With its awesome flavor I was hoping to find some homemade vanilla ice cream around. The only drawback I found is that I got a lot of dough compared to the peaches. A drawback yes but definitely not a deal breaker. I loved the flavor and the dough consistency was perfect. So to ask if I'd eat Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse food again? Yes and I would recommend it also. Not the least expensive but my entire lunch with a drink was less than $15. Thanks Derry. You smoke some good food!

The BBQ was top notch and I think the ribs were the best followed by the pork belly. The chicken was done very well but it's hard to beat the pork. The jeow som was a perfect compliment to the bbq and the sticky rice. The smoked brisket pho was also a hit. We only missed out on the papaya salad which would've been a nice way to cut the richness of the meats, we'll try that next time. They are honing their craft and clearly know what they are doing. I'd be excited for a restaurant some day to try even more of the Lao offerings.

    This is my first and only experience with Kings. I ordered food at an event for a friend from…read moreKings based on what she saw others had ordered because it looks great. My friend and I waited and waited for the food. I opened the order when I got it before leaving the window and the lady working the window gave me someone else's food. Thankfully, and the other customer recognized their order and got their food just fine. The lady working the window apologized, gave me a water, and I waited longer. She apologized again and said that they'd bring the food to me. They didn't bring the food and instead gave part of my order to a different friend to bring to me. I went back and asked for the rest of the order. The lady working the window said that she gave me my order. I said no, we only got part of it. She then became unbelievably inappropriate saying that I'm lying, stealing from a Black man business owner, not well, and all kinds of things that were uncalled for because they were paid nearly $40 for the order plus a 20% tip! I told my friend what happened and to do a charge back. I went back again with the partial order to try and explain that this was all that was received. Instead, the woman working the window immediately started berating me, threatening to embarrass me, and other things that were incredibly unhelpful to reconcile the situation. Mind you, I am not the type to act a fool and was at the event representing an organization so at no time did I raise my voice or return the treatment I received from this business. She asked what I wanted her to do and I told her that a refund because I know how chargebacks are bad for small businesses. She said okay and asked for the last 4 digits of the card, so I had to get them from my friend. I went back to my friend to get the numbers, got back in line to give them to her, and I gave them to her. She asked why I kept getting back in line...well, how else was I supposedto get help because that line was the only line. Instead of refunding my friend, the lady shut the window, talked to the owner, and reopened the window and started taking more orders. I got back in line again to find out if the refund had been done and she said that they were not going to refund and there was nothing else that they could do. I told my friend this and she's going to move forward hopefully with the chargeback. Mind you if the order and had been fulfilled correctly, then I wouldn't have had to go back multiple times asking for the order nor would I be writing this negative review. Our other friends who actually got their orders said the food was good, so there's that I suppose. This type of exchange is why so many businesses fail. Simple things like decent service and order management. I was not the only person waiting for an extended period. I was not the only person whose order was messed up. I encourage this business to invest in an digital order taking CMS and not writing things in dark pen on the boxes themselves. If digital order taking isn't possible for now, and that's OK if it is, then invest in guest check server notepads. They are less than $10 on Amazon. The orders can be written on them with customers' names and phone numbers, the bottom can be torn off for customers to have while they are waiting for food, and, in order for a customer to receive their order, they must surrender the torn off portion. Doing something either electronically or handwritten like explained would provide a system for checks and balance instead of relying on someone's memory. Also, consider coaching, retraining, and/or replacing the woman that was working the window today as her behavior is bad for business. She was not able to or chose not to maintain composure, decorum, and handle the pressure of all of the customer traffic. Though I did not get loud, she did get loud with me and other customers saw this every time she did this. That affects business. Her choices and behavior today cost this business vending opportunities with me, my employer, the organization I was representing at today's event, and probably with other customers who saw her disrespect, treatment, and unkindness towards me.
