Last year the food was pretty outstanding. Often times I would visit this truck for the sides which I loved, however, today I had corn and beans and the corn was terrible. I can tell they changed the recipe for the corn and for the corn muffins, which seem to have spices in them now.
Please go back to using the old recipes or make sure the cook isn't trying to put their own flare on what you were doing, which again was outstanding.
I may not return because as of now, I'm truly disappointed.

It was okay...the pulled pork was too salty and barely had any bbq sauce on it. I could have done w/o the beans, but surprisingly the corn was pretty good. I'm not a fan of peppers and onions, but I really enjoyed it. The corn bread was probably the BEST out of my entire meal.

How Much Did It Cost?: $10 (pls tax) 

Just left truck, sitting at my desk marveling over this outstanding lunch. The pulled pork is totalling tender with a perfect hint of smoke and balanced with sweet and slightly spicy bar-b-q sauce, same for the chicken. Although I realize that I don't like brisket, it is very tender and perfectly seasoned. The potato salad if fine (I am a Southern Style gal) BUT the corn was an unexpected PLUS - DELICIOUS! Tastes like the kind I used to have at Sunday Dinner! Perfect Affordable Lunch - THANKS!

It was plenty of food. The sandwich was decent sized however I thought the meat was a little salty and dry. It wasn't horrible, and the sauce was good.

The potato salad was a "warm" potato salad, which was unexpected. Still it was nice and spicy and made a good side even though it was loaded with bacon grease.


Best BBQ truck out there. Get the Sampler, It is worth every penny, and they cook all 3 types of meat perfectly.

What Did You Order?: Vegetarian Chili and side of Carmelized Sweet Potatoes 

I just had the worst meal ever. I've never ordered something, taken two bites, and then stopped eating. The vegetarian chili was a liquidy mess of mostly beans and corn- I've eaten a lot of veg chili in my days and there is a lot more you can do. It tasted like they poured an entire bucket of pepper in- two bites and my mouth was on fire. But the pepper aside, the taste was just awful. The carmalized sweet potatoes were anything but carmalized- they just dumped brown sugar and again, a ton of black pepper on- really gross! I want my money back so I can go buy myself some lunch.

Response: Hi Tammy. I\'m really sorry that your lunch from BBQ Bus was the worst meal that you\'d ever eaten. We work very hard to create recipes that we hope will appeal to everyone, but as taste is a very subjective thing, we sometimes miss. If you\'d like to email your mailing address to hungry@bbqbusdc.com, I will gladly send you a refund for your lunch. If you\'d like, I would also be happy to provide you with a gift certificate for your next visit. Again, I\'m very sorry for your experience on Friday and hope that you\'l give us another shot. Have a great week. Chef Tadd

What Did You Order?: BBQ Two meat picnic plate; brisket and pulled pork, beans and mashed potatoes 

The bbq meat is really good; both the brisket and pulled pork are excellent. The beans were always very good until last week; something either changed in the recipe or there was a mistake because they did not taste the same as they've been every week for the past year. The mashed potatoes were grey in color and didn't have much flavor-I was disappointed this time. Their potato salad is awesome but it's off the menu apparently until warmer weather (which is very unfortunate because the mashed potatoes were not so great). It's one of my favorite trucks but next time I'll skip the mashers and choose something else.

Response: Hi Kim. Thanks for being a loyal BBQ Bus fan. Our beans recipe has not changed so I\'m not sure why they might have tasted different. If you\'d like, you can email me at tadd@bbqbusdc.com to tell me what you thought was different. Regarding the mashed potatoes: They have a light brown tinge to them because one of the ingredients it browned butter. Next to the beans, they are the second most popular side. Sorry you didn\'t enjoy them. I\'ll give you an extra side to replace the mash next time we see you. Also...and I\'m not promising anything...but I may bring back the potato salad as soon as next week since we do receive a lot of requests for it still. Take Care - Chef T

Excellent bbq! I don't usually care for baked beans, but these are delicious. The biscuit was really good too.
