    BBQ Chicken Quesadilla
    Jamie T.

    The greatest thing about this truck is the variety of food. There truly is something for everyone; carnivores, herbivores, pescetarians, and even that guy who only eats deep fried food. The Great Foodini offers a variety of salads, wraps, quesadillas, Po Boys, and sides such as hand cut fries, battered mushrooms, and buffalo spring rolls. The hand cut fries are def on point, tasty and inexpensive. Once you see the portions and actually taste the food, I think most would agree that the prices are fair, despite some comments here. Best for: larger groups with varied tastes, maybe booking for an event.

    Another Tuesday, another across the way to Larkin Square for food truck Tuesday's! Thanks to a terribly extra long work day I ended up walking over to this event twice (I really need to stop) and on my first trip over I settled on finally eating at The Great Foodini! Thanks to showing up to the event a little before the opening I was able to be the first customer of the day when ordering my chicken and cheese quesadilla. The employee taking my order was friendly and the quesadilla itself only took about 3 minutes to come out fresh and ready. The price was pretty reasonable for a food truck (food truck prices are usually not cheap, everyone should know this by now) and the quesadilla is pretty massive at that. With 2 sauces on the side, fresh chicken, cheesy cheese, and a tasty wrap to go with it, this quesadilla was absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last. Overall, I really enjoyed my quesadilla and even though it's not the best in the game, it certainly will fill you up and not leave you disappointing!

    This food truck was at my job yesterday. They are definitely one of my favorite food trucks. I get a limited amount of time for lunch and this truck lets you text your order ahead of time, AND a pick up time of your own choosing, as long as you text the head chef by 10am. They have so many great items to choose from. I ordered the steak and cheese spring rolls. They were 2/$6 and come two to a package so I split the order with a coworker. They didn't have the gravy that the menu said it would come with. Instead it cane with a horseradish sauce. My coworker said it was mild but it was a bit spicy for me. Those "spring rolls" should be called eggs rolls or crunch wraps because they're so huge. They're honestly twice the size of egg rolls. I dug right in, so I didn't get a picture. I also ordered the Foodini Taco Salad. It was a bit pricy at $12 but you get what you pay for. The chef makes his own nacho chips and placed them on the bottom. On top of that is ground beef, lettuce, onions, sour cream, tomatoes, olives, and cheese. Most tacos salads are huge and come inside an edible taco bowl. This one didn't, the chips were on the bottom, but I loved it. It was quite delicious, satisfying, and more than enough for a couple meals. I love this food truck so much! The food is great and well prepared.

    Edit: Received this…read morecompliment from the owner, calling my review phony and re-assuring me how great his food is: "All we have to say to this phony review is "Voted best burger in WNY by Yelp 2014". It's pb&bj=WTF" Not a good way to respond to criticism in my opinion, so I'm adding it to the review and also lowering from 2 stars to 1 star based on the accusation that my 100% honest review was "phony". Actually should have been a 3 originally because I almost never rate family-owned businesses less than 3 out of common courtesy. Having said that most family businesses don't come out and call me a liar. Also based on that response, I definitely won't be giving it the benefit of the doubt and giving it another try, regardless of how much some of my friends, or the people of WNY, or the owner himself, loves the food here. ***** I had a seizure when I tried this food. My friend suggested they change their name to Foaming Buffalo because one taste and I was foaming at the mouth in disgust. But seriously, no. I really, really, really don't like this place. I had half a burger - which compared to Vizzi's or Ruzzine's or Mooney's (or even a Big Mac) was very disappointing. I had my own order of "Buffalo Poutine" because it sounded so exciting! And it was so damn expensive too grr. So Buffalo Poutine is basically... really bad french fries that taste like frozen oven fries. Really bad crumbly bleu cheese on top of them. That tastes awful. And then some very sharp tasting Frank's Hot Sauce poured all over them. The end. I couldn't taste any butter in the sauce at all. It tasted (a) awful, (b) lazy, and (c) how much did I pay for this omg? And so because of the price and the very high rating from everyone else and how thoroughly disappointed I was, I have to give them an awful rating. I've said this again and again but Buffalo food trucks are reeeeally not that good in the main and they're also very overrated (Lloyd's, I'm looking squarely at you). I'm not one of those people who thinks that food trucks are automatically a lower standard than restaurants. I LOVE food trucks. Nobody loves them more, I might even say. My 2nd fave place to eat in Seattle and in San Diego: food trucks. A Taco Bus and German Mariscos Taco Truck more specifically. And Tazo Nazo in Columbus. Omg one of the best ever. And then there's the Halal Carts, especially Sammy's, and Biryani Cart, all in NYC. Some of my fave places in Rochester and Philly are trucks. My fave in Pitt? India On Wheels food truck! Cleveland? SETI's baby! I am used to getting incredible food from trucks. So I have the same standards for trucks as I do from non-trucks. And I like dirt-cheap regular places and dirt-cheap trucks, it's not about how fancy it is. But no. It didn't do it for me. At all. I might even say that for all I care, this truck should go Roaming from Buffalo and stay Roaming. PS The star attractions here are a Bison Burger (I can never bring myself to eat Bison meat or pay $8 for another bad burger from here), and a WTF burger (which is a PB & J burger - edit - the owner is annoyed that I said PB & J instad of PB & BJ. Sincere apologies). Let me just make this clear. I think PB & J is awful, I think the fact that it's a legitimate sandwich and/or meal here is awful, and every time I see it on a menu I roll my eyes. Why not serve "Kraft Mac N Cheese" burgers then? How about a "Brownie" burger? (More awful American things I can't stand). So you get the idea. No, I'm not going to try their 2 specialty burgers because then I'd probably end up lowering it to a 1. The regular burger gets a 3, the poutine gets a 2, and the fact that it's so overpriced and overrated evens out to a 2 overall.

    After finally getting a chance to come back here to try their Bison burger, this review gets an…read moreoverdue update. You ever crave a perfect burger from a truck? Roaming Buffalo has the solution. Not only do they grill a perfect cow, but the BISON burger they sometimes have is mouth-shatteringly delicious. It's lean, scrumptious and even a bit healthier. Sure, you pay a premium price for it, but at $8 -- it's still a steal. The husband and wife owners who run this truck are great people as well. Valerie, who takes care of the orders is really friendly and her energy gets you excited for the food. Christopher, the chef -- is a true burger maestro. Their PB & Bacon Jam takes them 8+ hours to prepare and he put some of it on the bison burger, along with some tomatoes, onions and lettuce. The tomatoes I tasted were very flavorful and the other vegetables tasted very fresh. The PB & Bacon Jam is a great condiment for the burger, but only if it's cooked medium rare, otherwise it tastes a bit too dry for me. If you haven't had a chance to get a burger from here, you're missing out. Roaming Buffalo does it right.

I liked that it wasn't overly sweet, but it didn't really stand out to me. It was a little underwhelming. I was expecting more of that coffee flavor and it just wasn't there, so it ended up being kind of forgettable. That said, I think the concept is really cool. It's basically a coffee shop on wheels with different drinks and pastries, which I love. Definitely a great idea, I'd just try something else next time.
