District Small Bites staff was on time, professional and personable. The food was a hit for our End of Summer Employee Appreciation Event. Everyone that tasted the food had nothing but good things to say. Our valued team members enjoyed the food. We hope to find the opportunity to do another event in the future.

They were awesome and so patient with all of our block party neighbors asking questions and having their kids order! Food was all great and the comments about how amazing the fries were added to the great sandwich choices!

I love grilled cheeserie, but tonight my sourdough bread was burnt, not just grilled. I do like the truck and would like it to come back.

Loved the fresh crispy fries. The heat on the Spicy Burger was well balanced flavor and not just hot.

Way better than I was expecting. I'm not a fan of tater tots and like these very much. The Big Piggy is where it shined though. Wasn't dried out just , just the right portion size where you get your moneys worth.

We had an amazing experience with Brooklyn Burger! From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food truck arrived right on time, was extremely clean and well organized, and the staff was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. Most importantly, the food was AMAZING! Everything was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. I would absolutely recommend Brooklyn Burger to anyone looking for a food truck for an event. Great food, great service, and an overall wonderful experience. We will definitely be using them again!

Food is always great and we appreciate that they have gluten-free buns. Most of the food trucks don't have any gluten-free options.

Staff was friendly and helpful! However, I would have liked to have had more options for toppings etc for $2,000. Overall, it was good. Will most likely not hire again or recommend : (
