I really had to argue with myself whether to give this place 3 or 4 starts.
Food truck Wednesday consists of a handful of trucks going to a car dealership off Raintree and Hayden in Scottsdale. Most people in my office have heard of some that go there but didn't know about these guys. A few months ago when they opened this location, they came into our office and told me that they would be around and I have wanted to try them ever since.
Fast forward to today when I have a pregnant woman in the office and me having a fat attack, we decide its the perfect day to go for a visit.
We had searched their menu online and had a good idea of what to order before we got there. Their special today was chicken and fried waffles grilled cheese with gravy sauce for dipping. It looked good but I didn't see anyone else order it and I already had my mind made up.
My friend ordered the Mac and Cheese grilled cheese with a side of tots and their bloody mary ketchup. I ordered the Mac and Cheese grilled cheese with tomato soup side. The sandwich was good with sharp cheddar. I have never had pasta in my sandwich before so it was a little weird eating as the pasta would sometimes slip out - but it was good! The bloody mary ketcup was good, it tasted more like a cocktail sauce but it was nice and spicy and refreshing the way the drink is too. Tots are tots are tots -deep fried nuggets of potato and I love them.
The soup was where I had more of an issue. I didn't have an issue with the flavor. It had great tomato flavor with the yummy licorice of basil mixed in however it wasn't a soup....it was closer to a thick marinara sauce that you would eat on pizza or with mozzarella sticks or something more to that nature. Now don't judge me too hard but this is how I would do it if I were them:
Create something called Grilled Cheese Dippers where you cut the sandwich in strips rather than triangles, thus making dipping easier. Use the great soup/sauce as the dip and you have yourself a great meal. Create a velvety creamy tomato soup for the actual soup part and then give people the option of what they want.
I literally had to spoon the "soup" onto my sandwich to make it would because eating this "soup" was as if I opened a jar of pizza sauce and heated it up.
I will go back here. I know they have great flavors and I even saw a special for a caprese grilled cheese. And their regular menu items seem like they are awesome as well. I can't wait to give this place another chance.
