The pizza and the wings were amazing as always. Wait time to receive the food was at or over an hour from placing the order on the BFT app. This has to improve to sustain repeat customers.

One of the, if not the, best brisket sandwiches I've ever had. This is by far the best food truck that has come to this community. Thank you so much and would love to see you back in the future!

, pizzas were delicious but was sad that they were out of the Hawaiian pizza when we preordered it a day ahead and were only the 2nd order of the night. The margarita pizza didn't have any basil on it like the picture showed.

The brisket and Mac was delicious! And so was the banana pudding! I had to get 2. And the sweet tea hits the spot as well!

I think I've been to Food Truck Thursday 4 times now. 3/4 times I've had your truck and it's been the bomb! The only time I didn't go was only because you weren't there!

Elevated food truck. Will order again. It was delicious and high quality. Area for improvement: We received a text message it was ready and waited another 15 minutes. Time management needs to be improved. If this happens and everything else remains the same, then they are one of the best food trucks, if not the best, hands down.

Wow this was THE perfect idea for our graduation party. They arrived about 25 minutes prior to our event and was ready t serve immediately. The truck team were so friendly and fast with the food orders, even finding someone if they didn’t hear their name called. Everyone raved about the delicious food. Best part is we didn’t have a ton of catered or homemade food left overs. I will definitely do this again with Wok-O Taco!

I think they should remove the end pieces of the cornbread because the edges are hard. Outside of that, I enjoyed the food. I will buy it again. Thx!
