Most Disliked
Some diners note that the mosquitoes can be bothersome in the outdoor seating area, particularly during the evenings. This might deter some from enjoying the space fully, especially on warmer days. A few guests have mentioned that when busy, the service can slow down, although it generally excels in fast service. Additionally, during peak hours, seating availability might strain, so timing a visit outside of rush hours could enhance the experience.

Great burger, fantastic employees and overall a really good experience. Our family came this way for the ice cream shop, but once we realized there were more food options we decided to do dinner and ice cream. We had a couple burgers, chicken nuggets and a grilled cheese. Everything we got was great, moderately priced and the employees were super friendly. Bonus is that the entire outdoor seating area is FENCED IN, to include the small play set for the kiddos. That is a huge bonus for us. We will be back! FYSA: The mosquitos were out. Suggest bringing a thermacell or bug spray if you are going to be hanging in the outdoor seating area. We were there at 5-5:30pm. I bet they are worse later in the evening.

My kids love their burgers and fries. This is SO much better than a drive through chain! Plus, my kids love the playground, and my family enjoys playing the games together. It’s in a courtyard where everyone could order something different if they wanted. We love not tha truck!

10/10 chicken bacon ranch sandwich was sooo good. Fries were great as well! We also got two kids chicken nugget baskets and the kids loved it. Friendly service and atmosphere.

My husband and I went here this past Sunday as a late birthday dinner for him and it was fantastic! Not to say I expected anything less as we have been to "Wat Tha Truck" many times before and enjoyed it every time. We can't say enough about the seasonings and the hand made patties and fries. The staff was very friendly and we are happy we stopped by. Try it out for yourself and you will not be sorry. :)
