| - I had the misfortune of trying this food truck at the South Point Food Turck Fest. It had the shortest line, and I now know why. Curbside Cafe completely loses the concept of a food truck: inexpensive food, quickly.
They charge $7 - $9 for their burgers and fries are $1 - $2 more depending if you get sweet potato fries or not. That isn't bad, if you were in a restaurant or fast food chain. Instead, consider you're standing out in the cold, no waiter service, doesn't include a drink, and there is a diesel genny humming loudly in the background, then it becomes pricey. Their gimmick, their excuse, to charge so much is that they use angus beef and you get a fresh baked rolls for the burgers.
Okay, I can kind of see that, but what is their excuse for charging $4 for a hot dog? A plain hot dog on a bun, no truffle oil, no artisanal mustard, no bacon, tomatoes, nothing....just a fried hot dog. Looking into the truck you can see they get their supplies from Costco, aren't their hot dogs like a buck and quarter?!
So onto my order: a sonoran hot dog, or their interpretation of it. It took at least 10 minutes for my order to be finished. I was flabbergasted. Watching them work, they take care of each customer in the order they come in. So if someone ordered a hamburger, they will wait for that burger to finish before moving onto the next order. So a sonoran hot dog, something that should have been inexpensive and quick turned into an expensive and slow meal. When I actually got my order, it was drowning in sauce with not that much pico de gallo. The pepper jack cheese was mildly spicey and the onion strings were ice cold.
Can I get a refund of my money and wasted time please?
