    We used Marcus at Gibson's Smokehouse for our wedding in Strawberry, AZ, and the food was…read moreabsolutely delicious. We had about 135 guests, and everyone was raving about how good everything tasted. Working with Marcus was super easy from the start. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and he was always accommodating whenever we needed to make changes to the quotes or menu. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely great to work with. He provided the charcuterie boards for our cocktail hour, which were a huge hit, and then served BBQ for dinner. The buffet-style setup worked perfectly, and the line moved quickly. We never ran out of food, and guests kept coming up to us throughout the night to tell us how amazing everything was. They handled all the setup and even brought their trailer on-site, smoking and cooking right there at the venue which was so cool to see and added to the whole experience. On top of all that, Marcus is super affordable, especially considering that the quality of the food is truly exceptional. You get incredible value for what you pay. We absolutely loved working with Marcus and would definitely use Gibson's Smokehouse again. Highly recommend for any wedding or event!- Megan & Cierra

For sides, they were $4 for what appeared to be 8oz cups which seemed a little pricey but if homemade it's worth the price point. Both my cousin and I thought the coleslaw was an odd flavor like there was either red apple or radish in there, but we couldn't quite figure it out. A skip for me if I visit this truck again. As for the potato salad, it was fairly decent though it had large pieces of potato skins which I personally do not care for in my potato salad. Since we didn't get any actual food as I stick to a vegetarian diet mostly, I'll give it a 4 star for the sides. Overall, the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is what you make of where a food truck is parked. The condiment/utensils available on the ledge do make it easier for grab-and-go.

    When you think #SupportLocal it is harder to think of anything more local than a food truck (save a…read morelemonade stand). Post-pandemic, I'm loving seeing the re-emergence of food trucks throughout the Valley as well as special food truck festivals. For brick-and-mortar restaurants that also have a food truck, it is a convenient way to try new places without traveling. As Forrest Gump said, "My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." The same goes for food trucks, really. When I heard that Mr. Munchies was going to be around, I checked around to see what was going to be on offer. Their Instagram had some snaps of mini-donuts and corndogs. Ooh-kay...It turns out that the menu IS corndogs and mini-donuts. Hence, there is truth in advertising the name Mr. Munchies. This food truck is not offering meals per se as much as they are snacks. I ordered the Heavyweight corndog. It was more than a typical corndog as 1/4 pound all-beef frank hand-dipped in cornbread batter and served golden brown. Add some Jalapeno cheddar and you have quite a large corndog. I have never been a corndog person but this was good. It was fried perfectly and crunchy without being dry. Perhaps my only complaint was that at $10 it seemed pricey but food prices are going up. Now, for the donuts. These are also served directly from the fryer. Mr. Munchies has several toppings and flavors available. When I asked if I could mix and match (even six and six) they said no. This totally makes sense from an operational perspective but is also a daunting choice when you are ordering a dozen of something you have never had before. I went with the Reese's Peanut Butter version since it's a flavor I know and like. They claim the mini-donuts are drizzled with Ghiradelli chocolate and Reese's. What I ended up with was a small box of flavorless dough. They weren't sweet and they really didn't have any flavor other than grease. I ate one and stopped there. It is possible that I perhaps chose the wrong flavor. They had several others including a cinnamon sugar one that would perhaps taste better. But the Reese's was an expensive flop at $8. Would I eat at Mr. Munchies again? Probably not. But it is self-described "carnival food" and when you need a quick fix, their corndogs may be the answer.

    Mr Munchies is the best food ever! the corn dog plain is amazing but then you add the honey, it is…read moreamazing. the lemon curds are to die for, they are a fat man's paradise! when they run the pulled pork, coleslaw over doughnuts special you have to get it!!!

    Our chef was lovely and the food was great (aside from the rice being a little undercooked) but the…read morecompany overall needs to improve tremendously as far as communication goes. I had reached out trying to submit payment about 4 days prior to our event and it took 2 days to get a response back. Then there was the day of the event. I was supposed to get a message that day to let us know what time the chef would be arriving to set up. I was expecting to be informed of this in the morning so that we could plan our day accordingly to make sure we would be home when the chef arrived. I was calling, leaving messages, I messaged the business on instagram, I sent an email, and I sent text messages asking for someone to let us know when to expect the chef when it had gotten to 4, 3, and 2 hours until our event was supposed to start. We finally got a message from our chef at 5:05pm saying he would be there at 6:40-6:55 to set up for our 7pm dinner. He ended up showing up at 6:35pm, and still the set up felt rushed and he seemed a little flustered about how quickly he had to do it. he also ran out of his alcohol used for flames, so we never got to get a grand finale. I still to this day haven't received any call, text, email, or instagram message apologizing for the lack of communication or even answering any of my questions. Again, we loved the chef, however we would absolutely never book with this company again because of the stress the lack of communication caused. Multiple times the day of the event we thought we had been scammed because no one was getting back to us to let us know when to expect the chef. We had booked this for the first day of my sisters Bachelorette trip, and luckily we had planned to hang out at the house most of the day, otherwise we would've had no idea how to plan when to return home to make sure the chef could set up. Totally unacceptable and incredibly annoying.

We were excited to have dinner and a show while celebrating with friends. I will say that I thought I knew what to expect for hibachi, but this was way more fun than I anticipated. Chef Han was with us and he basically gave us the hibachi experience from Dick's Last Resort. Our dinner involved drinking games, trivia, being heckled, and a cool fire show at the end. Chef Han was hilarious and really did great with our rowdy group. Food was good, I enjoyed the scallops the most, cooked perfectly. We had a blast! 5 star experience, would definitely do that again!
