| - Really disappointing! My girlfriend and I attended the food truck festival at the Southpoint. I have read and heard so many great reviews. Could not wait to try this place. In fact, 40% on my reason for coming to this festival was to finally try Slidin' Thru. First off, the line was really, really long. I hate waiting in lines. But, I'll admit its a fairly reliable sign of good food. After about 15 minutes of waiting in line the person in front of us stated that Slidin' Thru was out of everything but the Plane Jane. Thanks a lot Slidin' Thru for not telling us sooner. At this point we were committed, even if I could only try the Plane Jane. As we got near the ordering booth I noticed a group of girls lingering around the ordering booth. They were typical high school girls: over concerned with their looks and not particularly friendly. Perhaps, Slidin' Thru groupies as Slidin' Thru has earned their street credit as a cool place. Then, it was my turn to order (around 30 minutes of waiting already). The man was slow to take my order. I'm sure he was tired because I know they were super busy, but the food festival had been going for only three hours (it was 8 pm and the thing went from 5 pm to 9 pm). The truck was nicely decorated and hip-hop played on the radio inside. We ordered two Plane Janes and one Caprese, they were out of everything else. Then we began our wait for the order to be cooked. One of the groupies picked up an megaphone and said "Hey, people of the truck. We are out of everything but the Plane Jane." Okay, so at least one works for the truck. They were not all just groupies. And, why hang out right at the ordering station? The area was really crowded already. It did not need 6 or 7 more people lingering. Especially with their attitude. Also, why not give the public service announcement every 5 or 10 minutes? Why wait so long? People get really pissed off for waiting in line so long just to find out something like that. Our food finally came out. Total time, about an hour. The meat was under cooked. It was pink in the middle and cold. the buns were dried out and crusty. The Caprese fell apart as we tried to eat it. The food was not special. I prefer In and Out Burger, and I always know where they are at. The man working the counter apologized and began handing out cards for a free slider at their fixed Northwest location. It was a nice gesture, but the food was not good. I overheard him explaining to another customer that one of their storefront locations had recently closed because it could not make enough money. I understand why. I think this place probably makes descent sliders on most days and the whole food truck craze and their cool vibe has served them well. However, they have become a victim of their own success. Rarely do things meet over inflated expectations. I'll give this place another try aside from a food truck festival, but for this experience, what a dud!
