| - I arrived to the Alley Burger truck early, due to the food truck app, and was only a few people back from the window.
(Disclaimer: as per my policy, I'd never line up one to two hours to eat ANYTHING - largely in part to gainful employment, and a thing called billable hours. So any substantial lineup = Plan B).
That being said, it did take about 20 minutes longer than advertised for the ordering window to open, and because of this, my "policy" was at risk of being horribly violated.
Luckily, before my threshold had been reached, Alley Burger was open for business.
(Note: at this point there WAS a substantial line behind me).
Stepping up to the plate, it was explained by the cashier that the Alley Burger comes "as is," and the "Whole Truck" allows you to mix and match your toppings.
I went for the 'Truck so I could choose my toppings. . . but it was only after the fact I learned they are actually two different burgers. The whole truck is 100% Angus, while the Alley is a roasted garlic pork sausage patty.
I've seen Alley Burger photos in the past, so had it in my mind that the 'truck would be a thicker, homemade looking patty... so I only chose the "single" when ordering (I was a rook). Also, I added a large fries.
As I waited, I noted that traffic to order and pay moved relatively quickly, though food returned more slowly. A number of people were eventually log jamming around the window, with some confusion when people with identical names heard theirs called. An order number would help alleviate this.
My food arrived, and the wrapped burger looked huge, but didn't feel that heavy. It was later, back at the office, that I noted the Angus patty is quite thin (think almost Big Mac patty). The rest of the size had been made up with lettuce, bun, and toppings.
It tasted fine, with a pan seared crust to the meat edges . . . but two patties I think is a must if you want any real meat content.
Otherwise, the bacon option was cooked less crisp than other burger vendors. But this just made it different from the norm, not a bad thing. More tender in the bite.
The fries were crispy, and not unlike those you'd get from A&W on the exterior (yes, I said A&W). Again, the reference is not a bad thing, just made for comparison.
Overall, it was good, but for the price, which if I recall was $15 - 17 for the order without a drink-- I'd expect double patties to be fully satisfied. I'm knocking off a star for that reason alone.
