I attended my sisters wedding in Groton and was apprehensive about the food that would be served at…read morethe branford house. Mainly because our side of the family has a lot of food allergies especially my wife and kids. My sister reassured me that the vendor they booked takes these things seriously and curates a menu that offers many options especially with people with diet restrictions. The food was amazing. No complaints. My wife was more than happy and she even went up for seconds. They even offered special kids meals for my son and daughter. My kids ate all their food to the point where they ended up falling asleep right in time for the dancing to start. Allowing my wife and I a moment to step on to the dance floor for a nice couples dance. The staff was also incredibly friendly and attentive. They even had this guy walking around in a hot dog costume handing out hotdogs at the end of the night. It was awesome and hilarious. All in all, a huge thank you to Brasato for making the night just that much more special and smooth. 10 out of 10 service!

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.

I wish I read the reviews here on Yelp before committing to Patruno's place for my dinner choice…read more I feel badly because the people in the truck seemed really nice and I don't want to defame their business in any way, but their food leaves much to be desired. With a little effort this truck could be a gem!! Basically the equivalent of a 3 frozen meatballs on dinner rolls with canned sauce and a sprinkle of store brand shredded mozzarella, the meatball sliders were hard to choke down even when I was quite hungry. And at $13 + tip it wasn't a bargain. If the staff ever reads these reviews, please up your game a little and at least melt the cheese and toast the bun so it doesn't fall apart into a soggy mess. Sprinkle a dash of fresh oregano on the top so it has some flavor.

Had a lot of difficulty trying to find a review of this one. So I'm adding it in…read more They offer giant meatballs, meatballs on a stick, Meatball sliders, everything meatballs! And I like me my meatballs. So I had to try them. They were not good. They made their meatballs very dense, a little too heavy on the breading and egg. The sauce was straight up hunts tomato sauce from a can barely warmed up. The cheese was cheap mozzarella but at least it was melted by the sauce No seasoning, no care, just a mound of meat with canned sauce and bagged cheese. The price was high, the quality was low, and I woukd rate it lower but I did not get food poisoning. So it has that going for it, I did not get sick and their food was edible. Given that this is a food truck, the benefit is that there's usually other options to try. They would need to make everything better or be really cheap to justify getting food from them.

I call it that because it's more elaborate and more expensive than most donuts. It was good, but I thought the apple filling could have been better.
