4 out of 5 stars

Daniel was amazing!! So kind and accommodating. The food was DELICIOUS!! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the baked potatoes, which we were all excited for, were not available until more than an hour into the event. It would have been great if they set up earlier to start cooking the potatoes knowing they took so long to prepare. Overall, they were a huge hit and definite asset to our son’s graduation party.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Chicago, so booking early gives you the best selection.
