Driftwood BBQ (Food Truck)
More and
more food trucks have been popping up around my work lately, and this
excites me to no end! I grabbed 2 of my lunch buddies and headed over to
Driftwood BBQ last week. We actually got there a bit early
because no one looked at what time they opened before we left work. I
guess we were all eager to get some good BBQ! They actually ended up
opening early, so it worked out for us. The first thing that you notice
when you pull up is the big smoker on the back of the food truck. This
area is separate from the ordering area, and that’s
a good thing because it sure is smoky! When you place your order, they
go and get it out of the smoker. We really liked this because everything
is fresh and hot.
I decided on the
Pulled Pork Sliders with Baked Beans and Chips. The meal comes with 2
sliders and they are packed with meat! I had to take some out of the
sandwich in order to eat it (I have a small mouth, even though others
would disagree with that statement). The buns
were very soft, almost like Hawaiian rolls and the meat was perfect. It
had a nice smoky taste and was tender from the slow heat. The beans
were also very good. I am a bit picky when it comes to beans, but these
passed the test.
Karen got Chicken with Baked Beans and Potato Salad.
She said that the chicken was really juicy, and proceeded to stab it
with a fork to show us. She also liked the flavor the rub gave the
chicken and said that it didn’t need any sauce on it. Karen also liked
the beans and said that the potato salad had smaller potato chunks,
which she really liked, and celery that made it crunchy. Also, it was
“not too mustardy.”
David got the Brisket with Cole Slaw and Baked Beans.
He really liked the rub on the meat and said it was super moist. The
meal came with a mustard sauce, but the brisket was so good that
you didn’t really need the sauce. He would have liked the bark of the
meat to be a bit crispier, and would recommend they make a BBQ sauce
that was a little spicier. The cole slaw was good, not to dry or runny,
and not to sweet. The beans were good and the
sauce was nice and thick. In his opinion (and mine) the only thing
missing from the beans was left over BBQ meat. It was the perfect
portion size for lunch with the meat and 2 sides, he was fat and happy
(his words!)
Verdict-Loved
it! The food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. For $8
you can get a boxed meal that consists of your choice of meat and bread,
with 2 sides. If you take it back to
your office be warned, you can smell the food a mile away. We had a few
different coworkers come in Karen’s office to check out what we were
eating!
