    what is a trash plate?
    Mike B.

    An OK meal at this food truck. Pre-ordered online, food read on time and piping hot. The Buffalo chicken salad features mixed greens topped with sliced buffalo chicken breast, topped with shredded cheese, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, onions, and bacon, dressed with ranch dressing. The chicken is moist and flavorful, greens crisp and fresh. Nothing special, it's good. Also tried the hamburger. This is a single patty with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, ketchup and trash sauce. Fries on the side. Trash sauce reminiscent of Big Mac sauce. It is a good burger, but nothing special. Fries are crinkle fries, crispy and hot, nicely salted. Jalapeño poppers were fried crispy and stuffed with cream cheese and a mild jalapeño. These were OK, too. Not a bad meal, also not a great meal. Just OK.

    Rochester, NY specialty plate. The plate is exactly the way it sounds because of the way it looks. It is not pretty, healthy or vegetarian. The idea is yummy sides, toppings and proteins all layered into the togo container. Macaroni salad, potatoes, burger patty or hotdog, topped with chili and mustard, onion, etc. Some of my time in Rochester, NY has given me some knowledge of the plate. I have seen a little more variety on potato option's but over all it was good. Very filling when you want something hearty. Also excellent hangover food. We were missing the cheese on our 2 juicy thin beef burger patties. Chili had no beans and was the top topping, it helped keep the square potato's crispy. Local business also has new stand alone store open in Apex - Peak City Hots.

    Not a fan of the name of this food, but I get that it has some appeal with what it represents and for the simplicity of it all. Trash Talk food truck markets itself as serving the "Trash Plate" (others in line behind me called it a garbage plate) "from Rochester, NY." It's not as bad as it sounds. I came across it at a local brewery, a nearly perfect pairing as it reminded me of something my friends and I might have had after a night of partying. The concept is simple: pick the meat - burger or red or white-hot dog and then, for this food truck -- it's put on top of macaroni salad and fries and then topped with mustard, onions, and a meat sauce. I couldn't bring myself to load up on that much starch, so I opted for the simpler trashed home fries, which is exactly as it sounds: fries with onions, mustard, ketchup, and the meat sauce. The fries were small cubes instead of the long, traditional shaped fries, and that worked for a less messy meal and a taste of all the flavors in each bite. The namesake dish is one I'll leave to those from the northeast to better describe. Although I didn't try the signature dish, what I did try was good. Still not a fan of the name, though.

    I hate to say this but I'm not a fan. This is a food truck, so this review is heavily weighted on the food. The minimal interaction with the lady taking my order was pleasant, but things quickly went down hill. The food came out fast - too fast... It was less than a minute. I was a little worried, and for good reason. Just as I had suspected, the food was cold. I ordered trash fries, and after listening to a friend from Rochester talk-up garbage plates for the last decade+, I could hardly contain my excitement. Boy, was I disappointed. The crinkle cut fries were cold. They were topped with something similar to canned chili without beans, only more bland. There were a few raw onions mixed in, finished with a drizzle of mustard and ketchup. Just below the top layer lay a mess of soggy, greasy, cold, sad fries. It was such a disappointment. We only had a couple bites each, and into the trash it went. Overall, this food truck lives up to its name... Trash.

    The Trash plate is legit.... Tasted just like home. My only issue is the portion size. It's too small. For $14 it's too small guys. I KNOW you know the TRUE portion size to a garbage plate. Times are rough right now. Please don't skimp out....that was the only thing that disappointed me. And if you guys want to make more money in NC... I recommend being near a wegmans. More than half the employees around wegmans down here are from Rochester. And so many new employees have heard about want to try the plate!! I had to drive 38 mins to you guys! Come out near Raleigh. You will not be disappointed with your sales. But please.... Work on the portion size. It's just too small. A real trash plate would be filled over the rim like a mountain. They don't call this the hangover plate for nothing.

    This food is legit!!

    As a Rochester native living in the Triangle, there are 3 things I miss the most- garbage plates, DiBellas subs, and Wegmans. Soon we will have Wegmans (and their DiBellas-like subs) and today I tried the infamous Trash Talk Food Truck to get 1 step closer to complete happiness. When I heard about Trash Talk, I was hesitant because the plate had to be perfect and I couldn't bear to be disappointed with such a well loved delicacy. First, I looked up their social media accounts to check them out. Sure, the photos looked good but I needed to try it to be sure. When I heard they were stopping at a local brewery today, I knew it was time to take a leap of faith. We ordered 2 cheeseburger plates to-go for the family. It smelled so heavenly and authentic that I couldn't wait to get home. As soon as I walked in the door, everyone was so eager to try it and immediately grabbed their forks. The first bite was magical and brought us all back to Rochester. The Mac salad was perfect. The home fries are slightly smaller than usual, but I actually prefer the smaller ones because of the light crispy texture on the outside. The burger patties were perfectly cooked and they used the true white American cheese instead of the yellow one. The meat sauce is legit... the right seasoning, texture, and not too cinnamon-y. They even use Zweigles hot dogs for the hot dog plates!! The only major difference is that they do not serve the crusty bread and butter; however, this is a non-factor for us because we always ended up throwing it out. These folks definitely put blood, sweat, and tears into making their plates authentic, and they did not disappoint. Once Wegmans opens up down here, the Triangle will truly be the best place to live.

    Drove about 45 min or so to get a taste of home and I was not disappointed! I grew up near Rochester, in Brockport, and the plate was about as close to the original Tahou's plate as it gets. Great mac salad and home fries and the meat sauce was spot on, albeit a little less spicy than the plates I remember. Missing the bread, as others have mentioned, but no big deal. My wife says she would add beans to the fries+mac duo, if possible. Overall, fantastic and very authentic! A great garbage plate all around. The owner was very pleasant to talk to as well. Definitely going to come again!

    If you are missing garbage plates from Rochester New York and are looking for a source then you will definitely find it at this food wagon.

    If you are missing Garbage Plates from Rochester, New York then you will definitely find it here at this food wagon wherever they happen to be. The quantities are very generous and the food quality is top-notch. The service is very nice and accommodating to get you what you whatever you want. The taste is incredible and the plating is just like you would get back home. If you've never experienced this type of food before you have to stop by this place.

    Longgggg wait when hardly any line. Got food on a Wednesday night at a brewery. I ordered a plain cheeseburger and fries, waited about 20 minutes. Fries were fresh. Standard crinkle fries which are good but nothing to write home about. The cheeseburger was a little dry but with cheese it was tolerable. I was also pretty hungry after having worked out and then waited a while. The staff were not very friendly. The woman that took my order was seemingly stressed and tired which I can understand since it was pretty hot out. Overall I would not get their food again or recommend it to anyone. Probably better off getting takeout from a nearby restaurant.

    I was working late yesterday and o decided to take a walk on South White Street here in Wake…read moreForest. I came across Sushi Mama's food truck which was parked in front of White Street Brewery. It was a busy early evening here in downtown Wake Forest as things are getting back to normal. People were out, the brewery had a nice crowd and the local eateries were hopping. I decided to keep it healthy tonight because I donated blood in the early afternoon. I have become a fan of Poke bowls lately and decided to give this food truck a try. I went with the #103 which is the Flame Seared Poke Bowl with yellowfin tuna. The ingredients were fresh. The bowl is built on a base of white sticky rice with avocado, carrots, cabbage, edamame, mango and crushed tataki chips. It is drizzled with a sweet soy sauce glaze and spicy Mayo, which complemented each other nicely. Again the tuna was really fresh and it was seared perfectly. I also got an order of the tempura shrimp cups which were awesome. You can get these as an appetizer or have them for a light lunch. The bango sauce (not sure what's in it) went with the cups nicely. Now, I couldn't find this food truck here on Yelp, so I added it to do this review. They may be a new business. However, for some reason the location pinned all the way out in Apex when I added them. Not the Yelp expert here so I have no idea how that happened. If your looking to find them I would have a street food finder application. I checked and they are on there. If you happen to see them in your town definitely check them out!

    **This review is 3.5 stars but since we are unable to do half stars, I will give it 3.**…read more Ordered 3 tacos, 2 to 3 tacos is enough for one per depending on how hungry you are. I chose an Al Pastor, Asada and Chorizo taco and ordered these all the way. For $2/taco you get your choice of meat with onions and cilantro For $2.50/taco you get it all the way which is your choice of meat with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and avocado Unfortunately the pork and steak were very dry which is the driving factor behind my 3 star review. The Chorizo taco had great flavor though. I would definitely like to give this food truck another shot!

I literally just finished my Al Pastor quesadilla and had to write a review! The Al Pastor is marinated pork and I was a bit skeptical to have it in a quesadilla but I was told its good so I decided why not? SO glad I got it! Not only is the pork tasty and juicy, there's so much of it! I loved that they did not hold back on their portions and after just one quesadilla (at $5) I'm satisfied. It came with a side of spinach, tomatoes, avocados (no extra charge yay!!) and topped with some cheese and cream. Really good stuff! Great customer service! They were really nice and friendly even though I was awkwardly staring at their menu for awhile. They had a variety of meats to choose from and had other options which I'll have to try next time. It was super quick service as well! The only downside is that they didn't have seating available but considering it's cold, I was okay with taking it home. Definitely recommending this food truck to everyone! Great food, great price and quick service? Can't get better than that with me! Side note: they are at Berkshire Manor West (off 54) every Tuesday night!
