What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from event organizers who booked through Food Truck Club
"The Route 66 Mobile Diner was excellent! The food was fresh and delicious, and everyone loved the sodas. The caterers were so friendly and accommodating. And the music was such a nice touch for our office luncheon! I would highly recommend!"
August 2026
"The staff that ran the truck was very friendly. The truck showed up ahead of time, probably about 1/2 hour before we were to begin serving and we went over the scenario in case we were to go over the amount requested. The wait was short and the food was good. The only downside I saw was that, at times, the cheese was not completely melted on the sandwiches. Otherwise, a very good experience with this vendor."
