There are many valuable tips from the reviews on this festival, I will try to hit some bases left untouched.
At one point I was hungry and just wanted to buy food from the truck we liked the best. When we passed through the 15 minute line I asked if we could put in a order and pay for it. I was told samples only.... totally lame that I would have to wait and wait and wait just to feel full.
I found a little pink BBQ truck with cinnamon infused sauce on their meat and a very small line and hit them up a good 5 times over the night to try and get my food value out of the night.
The two hotdog trucks both did a very good job on both keeping food coming out to the people, and customizing to keep everyone happy.
The dirt atmosphere was harsh at times for this reason... you would be in line eating some tots and then be hit with a breeze of dirt.
No Tots and dirt please
Many trucks ran out of food early which seems to be unfair to both paying customers and other trucks in the area still cranking
If this becomes the norm, the good trucks will bring less food so everyone can relax after a certain hour, and the customers will miss out.
The live music was fresh, but sometimes they were playing over other music on speaker, weaksauce.
they need to have a bigger location because the lines were out of control and half the battle would be finding the right line for truck.
I almost gave it 3 stars because I did have some good food and at 10 when we left we defiantly had our money worth. Twas a decent date night because were more on the relaxed side, but I could defiantly see many frustrated people just give up after complaining the whole time.
Lets hope they make some key changes for the next one...
