Left Coast Steak Sandwich
Bonnie R.

I so badly want to love The Flying Stove but to be honest, my first experience was a let down. I visited the truck at the Food Trucks at the Fountains event and they ran out of truffle fries less than an hour into the two and a half hour event. For my meal I ordered the Left Coast Steak Sandwich which has grilled tri tip steak, rosemary garlic potato cream, arugula, and fried onions. The sandwich was very cold which I wasn't expecting, and frankly was just bland and lacked flavor. It tasted like it had just been pulled out of the refrigerator it had been sitting in and was plopped on a bun. The employees were very friendly though and I've heard many rave reviews for The Flying Stove so I'm going to chalk my experience up to an off day. I'm excited to give The Flying Stove another shot.

Hello, food truck!! I pulled in at Natural Grocer's where I saw The Flying Stove food truck at the parking lot---score! I just love food trucks and since I've been in Wichita for about a month now, this little food truck has been number one on my "to try" list. Today's menu consisted of caesar salad, shrimp ceviche, panini, burger, and a BLT---I opted for the latter with a side of truffle fries. The bread was grilled and dressed with spicy mayo. The bacon was thick and cut in pieces. It obviously came with your basic lettuce and tomato, but the surprising part of the sandwich was the herbed goat cheese crumbles and the fried egg. Those little cheese crumbles gave this sandwich an added creamy goodness, and a fried egg elevates any sandwich in my opinion. The truffle fries were delectable and the small serving was enough to share with another person. I had my meal with a cold, refreshing can of orange San Pellegrino (purchased inside Natural Grocers). Perfect lunch on a hot Thursday afternoon! I can't wait to try something new and different next time!

I have gotten food from here multiple times and they never disappoint. Workers and cook are super chill and helpful. Their burgers are always fantastic (they said they use Creekstone beef aka it's Halal certified!!) I hope they always use this meat and I'm convinced this meat is the reason why their burgers are so good! Their truffle fries are amazing as well. They always switch up their menu with new/old options so give them a try!!

Flying Stove Umami Burger - seasoned beef, roasted tomato, parmesan crisp, caramelized onions, arugula, $7, sans tomato.  YUM!

I was up in Wichita visiting a friend who told me about these burgers that were gourmet, at street food prices. I'm always up for an adventure with food, and definitely like a good burger, so I was game. The Flying Stove food truck travels throughout Wichita and sets up shop at different places around the city each day that it's open. She looked up their location and menu for the day on Facebook with no trouble. We arrived at it's location and found the truck with no issues. They had been operating for about an hour and a half by the time we showed up and were out of the potatoes, but luckily they were serving up this famous burger: Flying Stove Umami Burger - seasoned beef, roasted tomato, parmesan crisp, caramelized onions, arugula, $7. Ordering was easy, and they were very accommodating to make my burger without the tomato. I was happy to find out that they took credit card, and I was even able to leave my tip via credit card since I was cashless that day. Bonus points for ease. Since they were out of the potatoes, my friend ordered her burger as well as the Seasonal Snow Peas - julienned snow peas, grand padano cheese, mint, and pancetta, $4. The staff (or the only one we interacted with) was very friendly and nice and chatted with us while we waited for our food before a small line started to form. The food was not precooked and sitting under hot lamps, so we waited a little while for it to be cooked. I honestly don't recall how long it was (less than 10 minutes though), but it was a very reasonable amount of time given that food is prepared to order. They also have speakers on the outside of the food truck, so we enjoyed the sun, listened to music, and chatted. By far the coolest food truck I have ever visited! The important part - The food! The burger was amazing! I was expecting a delicious burger that I would make at home myself, but this was far beyond anything I would make, and I'm quite the foodie. The meat was seasoned so well with just the right amount of everything. I initially thought it was a touch on the salty side, but it worked with everything else on the burger. The arugula was fresh and of high quality. The onions were naturally sweet and cooked perfectly. The parmesan crips was a very nice, different addition. It added a slightly different texture to the mix, but was rich, which balanced everything else out. And the part that held this wonderful concoction all together? The bun was also great. This was not your standard, weak bun you buy at the grocery store or that gets served up at the popular chain restaurants. This was a quality bread of substance and able to hold everything together without getting drenched in liquids or falling apart, but was also not too dense. The burger was hefty and moist, but far from greasy, so the bun was a good fit. It also had a light spread of something that seemed mayo based. It wasn't obvious it was there, and was just enough to add some flavors and leave you craving more. I didn't care for the Seasonal Snow Peas, but this was personal preference, and no fault of the cooks. The snow peas were fresh and crisp, and seasoned with some sort of dressing (that is the part I didn't care for). I'm not a dressing fan, but even though I didn't care for it, I could tell it wasn't bad. The cheese shavings on top were delicious and plentiful. My friend loved them! Overall, this place gets a 5. 4 seemed too low, but I would do a 4.5 if available. The only reason I would knock off a half point is that I like food trucks that provide picnic table seating and some shade. Food wise though, this place is a solid 5. It was a great experience and outstanding food, served up by a very friendly (and hot!) guy! What more could two girls ask for on a nice Sunday lunch? I will definitely be going back when I'm back in town!

Banh mih sandwich, quinoa salad, turkey slider (YUM) & korean bulgolgi (whatever that means lol)
Sydney L.

How fun is this place! I've been dying to go here and try some of this "street" cuisine. I heard about them and was stalking them on Facebook all week looking at all their food and menus with my mouth wide open and drool falling out of it. They were serving dinner in Riverside Park on the night that we decided to go but they typically serve lunch...I think one of the best parts about this experience was trying to find it! It's like a little game driving around looking for this fun orange-ish truck. So we pull up into the parking lot and they had some reggae music playing from the speakers which was cool. They were very nice when asking us what we wanted and serving us our food. We got the vietnamese banh mih sandwich (which was much larger than I had expected from their photos on Facebook), korean bulgolgi (steak and other flavors wrapped up in lettuce), warm quinoa sald (i had been reading about quinoa on pinterest and was pretty pumped to try that!) and the BEST, a turkey slider (DELICIOUS). We got all that food for $20 and it was perfect portions to share for two.

I tired the Flying Stove for the first time at a food truck event. I ordered the steak sandwich and truffles fries. Food was great! I really love the flavors! Will catch this food truck again soon!

Ok Wichita, Funky Monkey Munchies is now my favorite food truck. I have tried a few food truck…read morevendors here and in Denver. These people rock asian fusion tacos. Tried the Crab Rangoon Street Tacos - amazing. Very Filling. The rangoon is not too sweet like some traditional crab rangoon appetizers. Two is plenty. Enough to share a bite (but only a bite cause you're going to want it all for yourself) with your favorite person. Also tried the Pork Belly Street Taco - absolutely the bees knees. The pork is so tender it melts practically once it hits your mouth. The asian Flavor makes your taste buds do a rock dance. The vegetables were fresh and colorful. If you are not a vegetable eater well.... you will simply forget that they are healthy because it pairs so nicely with the pork belly. Your momma always told you to eat your vegetables so go ahead and do that. Moms are 99.5% correct most of the time. The last taco I tried was the (spicy pork taco) Funky Monkey Munchies please forgive me for slaying the name. I can only blame it on the food you prepared because it blew my mind. So this taco was fresh with a couple of mounds of an asian cole slaw on the top. I ordered spicy because that is how I roll. If you aren't down with spicy go with not spicy. So just to clarify..... I did not put all the tacos that I ordered in my belly. I am a good wife and brought the left over samplings to my hubs and kiddos. I am a foodie but there is a limit to the intake of food one can only handle. So in summary this is the best Food Truck I have had the pleasure of trying. If any of you and your others haven't tried Funky Monkey Munchies then you must - stat. Non paid endorsement btw. They don't know me nor I them. However I do love seeing small business be brave and grow up to be epically huge and get lots of fame for doing things they love. I Funky Monkey Munchies.

Eventually she is handed a waffle, though it's all she can do to stifle her frustration when she reads the name on the ticket, realizes she was accidentally handed someone else's order, and finds the proper recipient. Her father, after done perusing the other food trucks in the vicinity, stops by to make sure everything is okay. With utter disdain, she reveals she's been waiting for nearly Ten. Whole. Minutes. Nothing is made of it, and she is soon provided with her waffle. It is then I understand why "It's worth the wait!" is written among other encouraging statements in glass marker around the window of the man taking orders. Taking the cardinal rule of doing one thing and doing it really well, Waffle Wagon offers Belgian Liège waffles and nothing else. Fortunately, this is a novelty worth tracking down: this version of the popular breakfast food is turned into a confection by increasing the sugar content, culminating in tiny bits of pearl sugar that caramelize and provide an incredibly crispy exterior while the interior stays fluffy. It's a waffle that has the syrup built in. It was so sweet it gave me a stomachache after I powered through the whole thing. Waffle Wagon blurs the lines between food truck and carnival concession stand: it has no social media presence and given their extremely limited menu it's hard to imagine them finding an audience outside of tagging along with one of the other established food trucks, but they provide an opportunity to try something you're not otherwise going to find in Wichita, and they do it very well. It really is worth the wait.

There's no doubt these waffles are absolutely, melt-in-your-mouth amazing! But what I wouldn't…read moregive if they would only serve chicken too!

Charge $9.95 for chicken and waffle in a paper dish and make a mint while making the patrons of Wichita deliriously happy!

Hardly even a food truck, Hit the Spot is a little trailer that popped up at the Food Trucks at the…read moreFountain events around the middle of last year. The hook is crazy ice cream-based desserts, though in execution they're only slightly kooky. The biggest threat to our sanity comes in the form of bruleed Twinkies, and it's a threat that should be taken seriously: the small torch that's taken to the confection creates a crispy exterior that lends a great contrast to the creamy center. This happened in October, so it was a pumpkin spice Twinkie and the ice cream was topped with caramel, orange and black sprinkles, and some cinnamon. Also tried was a coffee lover's sundae, which was chocolate ice cream that was topped with a coffee-infused balsamic vinaigrette, chocolate-covered coffee beans, and a Pirouette wafer cookie. The balsamic was better in theory, because the sweet aged syrup blended so well with the other ingredients that it was hard to tell it was there. The flavor is typically seen paired with strawberry as a means of better balancing the sweet and savory. The use of that wafer cookie was a good idea, and I liked the chocolate-covered coffee beans, even if their strong taste overshadowed even the ice cream. I like what Hit the Spot is trying to do, though I wish they did more of it. The beauty of sundaes, though, is that you have a lot of leeway if the ice cream is good. The ice cream used here is suitably premium, so there's plenty to like.

Didn't know they were so popular in wichita. There was a nice alcoholic beverage truck which really should have larger cups for their bloody Mary's. There's also live music and the place is gated off so you can walk around with your drink. Shame it was hot, but oh well that's wichita for you in may.

It took several years of me-too copycats to break free of the template set by Flying Stove, but…read morewe're finally at a point where Wichita's food truck scene offers the same kind of eclectic mishmash of global cuisine that you might expect to find in a larger city. The only place you're able to find German or Filipino food in this city is by standing in the great outdoors, waiting for your name to be called. You can also find some excellent New American cooking and brick oven pizza, too. They're not all easy to find, however, so your best bet is the monthly seminal gathering of pretty much every truck downtown at the Waterwalk the last Sunday of the month. The beauty of this event is that it's a one-stop shop for pretty much every food truck in Wichita. If there's one you've been dying to try, it's most likely here. The downside is that EVERYONE is here - the event "begins" at 11:30, but even then the lines are substantial. Lord help you if you show up around 1:00 PM, because by then the lines are astronomically long and trucks start to run out of their most popular items. They're set up to quickly deliver food, but not as fast as people can line up - you're dodging strollers and Duck Dynasty-clad hicks just to get the opportunity to wait in line for half an hour. Practically speaking, it would be less of an investment to go to a sit-down restaurant. One of the selling points of food trucks is speed, isn't it? Parking is plentiful, there's free music, and it's a fun time despite the wait. It's not as fun if it rained recently, because all of the grass turns to mud. But as an opportunity to try two or three different food trucks at the same time, there's little comparison. It's nice to see Wichita embrace food truck culture, even if this is the best and worst that particular culture has to offer.

While Brick House isn't much better than what is already established, it's not any worse, either. As a result, the order is a two-meat dinner of pulled pork and brisket with baked beans and mac and cheese. Pulled pork is not something most restaurants around here struggle with, but Brick House's rendition is better than the status quo. Every bite was bursting with juicy pork and is the one thing to order if this food truck shows up in your parking lot. The same superlatives cannot be shared for the brisket, which couldn't quite convert all of its connective tissues in the time it was provided on the pit. It wasn't inedible, but I used up my little plastic container of sauce. Mac and cheese was overcooked and didn't place as much emphasis on the cheese as I would like. Baked beans were canned, but dressed up with some fresh jalapeno to improve texture. Brick House isn't the best Wichita has to offer, but the recent new entries into the category at least approach it with an enthusiasm and effort that outweighs some of the ensconced businesses around town. Plus they have turkey legs, if you're into that sort of thing.
