For nine years, Sylvia's has been right here under a flight path for Bradley Airport, near the…read moreWindsor-East Granby border. You can park in the street or pull up on the grass to grab your dog. Sylvia serves up Mucke's hot dogs, hot sausage and Kielbasa with all the fixings. You can get a lunch special of two dogs, a bag of chips, and a soda for just seven bucks. You can trick out your dog with FREE fixings like ketchup, mustard, relish, onions, cheese, chili and kraut. Sylvia is a joy to visit and chat with. I ordered a hot sausage and a can of Diet Root Beer. It ran less than five bucks. There was a picnic table and bench for me to enjoy my delicious lunch. The roll was from a local bakery and was fresh and very good. The sausage was generously sized and tasted great with the "snap" I like in a good hot dog. The diced onions and chili I added gave the dog a real nice taste, texture, and crunch. You don't stay in business for nine years in a location like this unless you offer some solid food at decent prices. Nice job, Sylvia !

Our dog was initially hesitant, but I explained to him there was a big difference between him and the dog served by Marty so he relaxed and enjoyed his visit. My wife sent me with detailed instructions to order a pair of "Stan's" hot dogs that featured Martin Rosol's hot dogs, grilled rolls, an abundance of Stan's relish and mustard. While I patiently waited for the food to be prepared, the aforementioned pair accompanying me took up temporary residence at one of the shaded picnic tables. Once again the food was cooked to order and came with both napkins and a smile. Yeah for Marty and his (I presume) bubbly wife.

Stopped at Marty's food truck for a quick dinner after hearing great reviews. Right away, I was…read moreimpressed at the amount of parking and seating they had. They have a great plot of land! We ordered some hot dogs, which are locally sourced from Rosol's - one of my favorites. I chose the Polish dog, which was topped with mustard and sauerkraut, and my boyfriend chose their signature Stan's hot pepper relish for his Stan's dog. We loved both! They did a great job on the cheeseburger we ordered, and the mozzarella sticks were great too. I especially loved their sauce! Our food was ready quickly, and they had a great flow between taking orders and cooking to keep everyone happy.

Maggie's Hot Dog Truck had come up as a good hot dog spot in my area Yelp Searches. The history of…read morethe truck is addressed in pics and in other reviews. Bottom line. It's an old truck, that has been refurbished, has a cool history and has been in business as a red hot dog truck for over 50 years. Maggie's has hot dogs, kielbasa and chili. They also have drinks, chips and cookies. Maggie's uses Mucke's natural casing dogs, which is definitely not something that most CT places use. Maggie's does not have any specialty hot dogs per se, but they do have their own chili and some other standard toppings to choose from. I ordered a hot dog with chili and mustard. I haven't had a Mucke's in a while. It seemed like it was probably steamed. Good flavor. Good snap. The chili sauce was meaty and tasty. Definitely above average for CT. The mustard was good too. I would definitely recommend Maggie's if you're in the area and want a hot dog or chili to go. 4.5 Stars

Maggie's Hot Dog Truck is a restored 1934 GMC Model T-18, and the history alone is worth a look. It…read morestarted out transporting workers to CCC camps in the 1930s, then the State of Connecticut used it to move prisoners to work details, then it became an ice cream and popcorn truck in Hartford before eventually ending up in a junkyard. Robert "Red" McCormick later rescued and restored it, and it's been serving hot dogs for more than fifty years now. At this point it's basically a local icon for those who know, and can be found over on East River Drive in East Hartford. The menu is simple--hot dogs, kielbasa, chili, drinks, chips, cookies--and that's exactly the right call for a place like this. I had two hot dogs and both were great. Quick service, good flavor, and they were wrapped well enough that I had zero concerns about anything spilling on the way back to the office. Overall, a fun, straightforward lunch stop with good food, and fun character and history. If you appreciate old-school spots that keep things simple, this one's worth a visit.

Cajun fish was good. Clam strips were soft and good. Shrimp was ok. Fries had a lot of oil. Overall the food was oily. But it tasted very good. There is a number of sauces in front of the truck including tartar sauce, ketchup, Frank's hot sauce and relish. There are 5 tables behind this place where public can sit and eat. Those benches were part of Morton's stake house many years ago. You can sit there and enjoy the food.

What The Truck BBQ #RiverfrontFoodTruckFestival…read moreWe drove to Hartford to see what the food truck collection was like. We sampled 4 trucks. This was by far the best we found. I am fussy about my BBQ and have not usually found much to cheer about in CT (I do like Pig Rig and my own). These folks had their smoker right out back of their food truck; it's a beautiful thing to behold and the smell of genuine smoked-right-there meat was enough to get us to the counter. The turkey legs were just coming off the smoker and the burnt ends were on-the-way, so we waited ~20 minutes (worth it!) to get an order of those. When they say the turkey drum is ginormous, they are serious (see photo) and the flavor!!! The true art of BBQ is not how much gooey sauce you can slather onto a piece of meat or how spicy you can make the rub. It's all about getting a balanced flavor from the smoke. You can't duplicate this from a bottle and it really takes someone with experience to make the smoke and the meat dance like this. YOU MUST try the turkey legs if you can get one. If not, the burnt ends are really done well. Not quite the same burnt ends you would get at a good Texas BBQ place, but certainly the best I've had outside of Texas. Aside from the cool name, What The Truck BBQ is a must stop.

The fact that I went in with those expectations, contributed to a disappointing experience. I ordered their cheesesteak by DoorDash. The DoorDash order description says that it comes with melted cheese, sautéed onions and bell peppers. I went with this and added mayo. When my order arrived, I saw that it came in this cool form hugging long container. This only increased my expectations. I opened the door, and it was wrapped in paper. I removed the paper. All I saw was . . . steak, some melted cheese and a bit of mayo. No onions. No bell peppers. I am a huge topping guy. If I was there, I wouldn't have accepted it. I would have asked them to remake it. But I was at home and I had to take it. I was very disappointed. The steak, while plentiful, was dry. I added some steak sauce I had at home to salvage it. If a description has toppings, you've got to serve those toppings. Otherwise, you've got to put boxes so people can check the toppings they want. 2.5 Stars

They've taken the simple concept of grilled cheese and put it on another level. Other grilled cheese trucks just don't compare! I personally think it's the bread - and the people behind it! One of the main locations they setup shop is the Xfinity Theater in Hartford. It's a concert tradition of ours to get Whey Station before a show. DON'T be intimidated by the line - it moves quick and it's worth it. I can't count the number of sandwiches I've ordered specifically at Xfinity! Just see the photos for proof LOL A fan favorite is definite the "Channing Tater" but I also love to do the "Monger" with jalapeno & bacon. My mouth is watering already!
