    [TLDR]A food truck offering some fairly unique and creative sandwiches and wonderful sweet potato…read morefries[/TLDR] The thing I just don't have figured out about local food trucks is the pricing. You see, a lot of folks who want to open a restaurant start with a food truck these days because (in part) the costs of entry and operation associated with brick and mortar are much higher. So logically, given lower entry and operating costs, the price of a meal at a food truck should be lower than for the equivalent item at a brick-n-mortar eatery. But this rarely if ever seems to be the case locally, and indeed, everything seems to be a dollar or two more expensive than I'd expect at a brick and mortar at this food truck given my visit to the Screaming Goat. I will say their menu is generally more ambitious than most food trucks I have encountered. Many local food trucks feature as few as 3-4 items with a very simple ingredient list. Many of the dozen or so menu items here have a dozen or so ingredients, and are generally unique combinations of flavors one is not likely to find elsewhere. The Mac Daddy ($8) is one of the least complex items - basically a grilled cheese with bacon and mac-n-cheese - and I have heard considerable good word-of-mouth on this one, but it came off as plain and bland to me. The bacon was there texturally, but somehow lent no flavor to the sandwich. I didn't pull off the bread to check for the presence or absence of cheese, but if some was there, I can assure you I didn't taste any. The mac was itself very bland, with almost no cheese flavor when sampled by itself, and unfortunately overcooked to mushiness. I think this would also have been a bit better if the bread had been grilled a tad longer, but as you can see from the picture it only reached a light blond color. I also wish they'd have cut the sandwich in half for easier handling. Now, before you ask me if I'd like some cheese with my whine (and the answer to that will always be an unqualified YES!), let me say that the "Crackhead" fries ($3) were by far the better of the two items I have tried there. I love sweet potato fries, and the marriage of honey and whatever slightly caliente spice mix they use was very, very good; with the only problem being that there wasn't much of it and what was there was not well distributed - strong flavors on one fry while another was almost entirely unseasoned. If all the fries were seasoned properly, I'd call this a 5 star item. One other minor issue - these were served in an open fry boat like I was going to sit down there, but there are no tables. Should have been packaged in a manner more suited to takeout. I was told that the menu was seasonal, so once summer winds down the menu may well be partly or even entirely different. Service was affable and quick. I forgot to ask if they take credit cards, but will do so on my next visit, where I will ask for extra seasoning on those fries :-) 4 stars for the fries, 2 stars for the mac daddy sandwich and other issues = 3 stars overall

    I believe that this food truck is one of only two eateries in the Greater Cincinnati area to…read morespecialize in tri-tip beef - Tafts in OTR being the other - but sadly I dont think they represent this cut of meat that is wildly popular on the west coat very well The truck has a grill built in on the left side as you face the ordering window, and you can see the meat being grilled while you wait in line to place you order. The finished meat is sliced to order on a standard deli meat rotary slicer, and goes from the slicer to your sandwich, nachos, taco, etc. In theory, this is all good, but the meat is cooked to a well done, which means it is very dry, and the slicing process seems to produce pieces that are more like shreds than actual slices of beef. To make matters worse, the beef - tho tender - isnt very flavorful The bun it is presented on is good quality, but it is stated that it is a garlic buttered bun and I didnt taste any garlic whatsoever on mine. More like a bun brushed with melted margarine. The mild catsup-y bbq sauce that is included on the side helps with the moisture issue but it also overwhelms the minimal flavor of beef on the sandwich. The potato chips also included with the sandwich help the value proposition a bit - many food trucks charge extra for sides, even chips - but these are straight from a Kroger bag, nothing special, just filler Service is on the slow side. Expect to wait 2-3 minutes per person ahead of you. I cant really fault them for this, as this isnt all being prepared in advance - they are slicing meat to order, so at least it is fairly freshly cooked. Overall - not a good value and not a meal I would go out of my way for to get

    Finally had a day that I could try this food truck! So glad bc it did not disappoint!…read more Tri tip is a sirloin steak that is popular on the west coast, if you're saying "what's Tri tip?" I ordered the sandwich, which came with a side of chips and drink. Cost $10. Now I've had Tri tip before so I know how flavorful it would be, but man this flavor was spot on!! I don't even know how to truly describe how amazing it tastes except that all the spices meshed perfectly. The Tri tip was super tender and not dry. It came with a side of bbq but not sure why you would need it!! Overall so glad I finally got a chance to try and will recommend to others!!!

Currently, the truck is placed in a gravel lot with a lot of picnic tables with umbrellas. There is rarely a line at this food truck and the food is quite delicious. There is street parking all around and the menu pricing ranges from $6 to $10 per meal.

After letting them know we were ok waiting 30 minutes for the food to be ready, my husband got there 10 minutes AFTER the time it was supposed to be ready. He waited at a closed window for over 5 minutes to be told "there's a large order ahead of you, wait over there" and he didn't get food until 30 minutes after the time was it was supposed to be ready. They didn't apologize or acknowledge the long wait which was what really bothered us in our experience. We waited for months to finally figure out their schedule (it was really hard to tell when they were open) and were very excited to try it. Now we are hesitant to return. The Birria tacos were very good, we would love to eat them again. The elote was outstanding and I would say if they have it that day it's a must order. The Torta was inedible for us, but we are very aware that it might be personal preference. The bread had too thick of a crust and made it a very dry sandwich but we haven't had Torta before and that might be how it's intended. I really hope the next time they have elote we can order and get it in a reasonable amount of time.

I was able to pull up, bypass the line, go right to the pickup window and grab my grub with no contact! I went with the lemonade shake up to drink, the Patriot Philly, and the loaded buffalo fries. The smells alone just reminded me of Fair food. The lemonade tasted exactly like that shake up you get at the State Fair. The philly had good bread, decent meat, and the real star of the show was the Patriot Sauce... wow this needs to go on EVERYTHING. The fries were fresh and seemed hand cut. I wasn't too fond of the topping though. I wasn't expecting the chicken to be what it was. It was that steak um style sheet of chicken... which is ok... but it was placed on top whole instead of chopped up. In that manor it almost had a fried egg consistency. The cheese sauce was definitely more like fair food... that standard nacho cheese topping. Not my personal preference, but not bad. The portion size of the fries was generous. If youre looking for some food reminiscent of the fairs we probably wont be seeing this year, look no further!
