They catered today at our company appreciation day. They rock, great people. A must attend. Awesome food.

Wow, so this was my first time eating at The Chicken Bandit food truck, and it WILL NOT be my last. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but having been raised by Greeks it's kind of my cultural responsibility to order the gyros (year-rose) any time that they are on a menu. I've had all kinds of things that loosely fit the description of a gyro. Needless to say if you put meat in a pita and toss some cukes and tzatziki on & wrap it in foil & you can sell a ton of them. The basic premise is pretty fool proof. Having said that, there are still some truly original and inspired takes on the traditional gyro. Today I had one of the best, non traditional gyros I've ever had. So let's start with the simple part. You have a nice soft pita, plenty of nice crunchy veggies and a really great homemade tzatziki but that is where the tradition takes an inspired and creative twist. The meat filling in The Chicken Bandits gyro is chicken, yeah, not a huge surprise. What was surprising was how well the chili lime marinade and sauce blended with the creamy tzatziki and complimented the veggies. It all coalesced into this wonderful contrast between my childhood and my desire for the new and interesting. Oh, and having just finished the gyro, I'm not too proud to say that I literally sucked on the foil. I can confidently tell you, this thing is amazing. One more thing. While a $9.00 gyro sounds like a state fair price, I would pay more than that for one of these at the fair. And I would have no concerns about what I was going to have to eat that day or that night or the next morning. Because the next time I get a chance to visit The Chicken Bandit food truck, I will be buying enough to get me through the night and at least breakfast the next day.. The portion was very generous too, so maybe just 3 extras. Lol. The crew working the truck, including the owners were super friendly and accommodating when my mother managed to screw up an online order and they had her food ready in short order. I loved the home made potato chips as well. An nice option that won't leave you feeling overly stuffed. My son ordered the salad with their one of a kind seasoning blend and he loved it. Our 3 year old had a FREE kids meal which consisted of a fried and seasoned drum stick, and some more chips. I don't know where they will be next weekend. But when I find out I'll be there for 4 or maybe 5 of those gyros. Great job Chicken Bandit!

went with my daughter & loved it

What great folks these people are. At our family reunion they catered the lunch and it was excellent. Their fried chicken was awesome, their coleslaw very good, macaroni salad needs a bit of a lift, their pulled pork and chicken gyro also excellent. And the three staff there were so pleasant. This Food Truck is worth looking out for or having them cater your party. Great folks.
