Enjoyed the experience but the food was not up to par with the price. Requested a burger with bacon and it had none. Another individual in the office had the same issue. The patty reminded me of cafeteria style hamburgers. Too compressed and manufactured in texture. The lettuce was prepped way early as it had large amounts of red discoloration on the ends and this was at the very beginning of the lunch rush. I would not be able to recommend this to friends and family.

This truck was outside of our office today and I had never seen it before. I really wanted to try the pulled pork but my coworker wanted the tri-tip(we were sharing because the portions from food trucks are normally HUGE). To our surprise, the sandwich was a very typical size. More bun and lettuce than meat, and the meat was very bland without much flavor. Very disappointing for nearly $ 12 We also ordered the 5 cheese Mac, it looks amazing but is also very bland and flavorless. It had a unique flavor unlike any Mac & cheese I’ve tasted but it was saved by the bacon! The Mac was better than the sandwich but still — not worth $ 8 All in all, the gentleman taking orders(who I assume is the owner) was very nice and had excellent customer service. Their cooking time was a little long, especially for people waiting outside in Arizona! The food was lacking and the prices were ridiculous for the end product. My coworker and I are let down and still hungry.

I was happy to see this food truck at the Diamondbacks game. I’m from California, and I love the opportunity to get tri tip! There was no line at the truck and service was fast. The guy was super friendly. The sandwich was smaller than we expected, but the meat!!! They nailed it. The tri tip was succulent and amazing. Seriously good. The bread it was on was so-so – the bottom bun was immediately soaked through so it made it kinda awkward to eat. But hey, the meat was the most important. We could have had a pile of that and dug in with forks and been quite content.

I don’t often write a review. However, I was deeply dissapointed with the tri-tip sandwhich I bought from this truck today. «Grilled Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich» — sounds mouth-watering, right? «A hearty helping of perfectly grilled meat…» — Maybe two or three slices. Hardly 3 mouthfuls. Tough meat. I wouldn’t call it hearty at all. «…placed on a soft, lightly toasted Brioche bun.» — It wasn’t a Brioche bun. It wasn’t toasted. It was a standard, run-of-the-mill, small Walmart brand hamburger bun. it was sort of crushed, too. When the person outside handed it to me, they seemed surprised as well, and asked if this was the tri-tip sandwhich. «The bread is painted generously with a delectable aioli made from the finest Prepared Horseradish…» — It was mayo. Plain and simple. Nothing special about it. Overall, I walked across the street in 115 degree heat, and paid $ 12.00 for a small mouthful of tri-tip on a plain bun with mayo and bag of chips. Was it worth it? Not at all. I’m sorry to say, but I won’t be purchasing anything from this truck again. Please don’t come back.

I probably should have guessed the value by the non-existent line in front of this truck today… but I didn’t feel like driving anywhere, and it was the only one today, so I decided to try it, and I should have gotten in my car and went somewhere. I ordered the«Grilled Tri-Tip Steak Sandwhich» with extra meat and a side of the«5 Cheese ‘N Bacon Mac ‘N Cheese.» The total: $ 20.24. Quite expensive for lunch, and even more disappointing once my name was called. The sandwich looked as if someone forgot the extra meat. I saw more lettuce than meat. The Mac ‘N Cheese was simple and small with bacon sprinkled on top. As I walked inside, I thought about how disappointed I was that I just spent $ 20 on this. So, I had my hopes up that maybe I would be surprised with the flavor — I wasn’t. I would have rather picked up a tri-tip sandwich from Arby’s for a fraction of the price. The meat was not very flavorful and lacked any distinction of being grilled, which one would expect with the name. The Mac ‘N Cheese was mediocre at best and the only thing that saved it from being any worse was the bacon — as we all know, bacon makes everything better. So, small portions with fairly bland food is my overall opinion. I don’t mind spending money for good food; unfortunately, I spent money on bad food and am disgusted about it.

Portion size is weak. For $ 12 you basically get a slider sized sandwich. Flavor was good, but just too small of a portion compared to the other food trucks we get on a weekly basis. I give them a meh out of ten.

This truck is the bomb!!! Menu is on point from the bacon mac and cheese to the tri tip steak sandwich– This truck is a must try! The truck itself was immaculate… I met the owners as well and they were so nice it felt like family! I’m definitely going to found out where their next stop is. Thanks guys!!!

For weeks and weeks I was waiting to try the 5 cheese and bacon mac. It seems to sell out quickly, so I made sure to be there early at lunch time. I wasn’t too hungry, so was debating on just getting the side for $ 4. But I was waiting so long to try this that I decided to splurge and get the $ 8 meal. When I was handed my «lunch», I was SURE they made a mistake and gave me the side instead of the meal. I felt seriously scammed. I just could not believe the small portion. I was hoping at least it would be the best mac and cheese I’ve ever tasted! Sadly, no. I found it quite bland and it was only salvaged by the smoky bacon added on top. So in summary: it was decent, but a complete rip off for the price.

Had their Kobe/Wagyu beef burger at the Salt River Fields food truck festival and it was outstanding. I wish they were closer because I craved another one for nearly a week after.

Not worth the money. I got the tri-tip steak sandwich. For a $ 12 sandwich, it did not have much meat on it. The menu did not say that it contained horseradish. Tried to salvage it and wipe off the sauce, but still had the overpowering flavor. Don’t believe it was something I overlooked, as my friend also got it and hates horseradish. Overall, not worth the trouble.

I wanted to make sure I put in a good review for you guys. I would have posted a picture, but there wasn’t anything left. I split the Tri-Tip and the Kobe Burger with a friend. Both were AMAZING! The meat is well seasoned, tender, and cooked to perfection. I also got the 5 cheese and bacon mac. I refused to share that. I wanted to climb in the truck and steal the whole batch. Great food! Great service! Hope we get to see you guys again soon!

After reading some of these reviews I feel the need to add mine. I have eaten at Grilled Addiction many times. They set up at my apartment complex once a month and I LOVETHEM! I have had everything on the menu and it has all been fantastic. Kiarash Z — if you want fast food go to a fast food restaurant! Don’t review something if you havent tried or been there. Fail. After getting to know the trucks owner and chef I know for a fact that the food is quality. It’s sad that people will bad mouth someones buisness without giving them the chance to fix an issue. Keep doing what yout doing Grilled Addiction, you’re AWESOME!

Great Food and Fun. We tried them when they were at Carefree Brix Wine Bar. Had never done a food truck before and the lamb with salad was really great. Looking forward to seeing them again in Cave Creek.

You know that if I’m willing to walk outside of my delightfully air-conditioned building in the middle of a scorching scorching summer day, it must be for a REALLY good reason. I sadly forgot my lunch today, but my spirits rose pretty quickly when I remembered that a couple of food trucks were going to be pulling up to provide lunch options for our office complex. We wandered over with high hopes of something good to eat. So happy to say that we got what we came for! I ordered a small(4oz) portion of the bacon mac and cheese. Love that they bacon was layered throughout. Great ratio! It was creamy and rich — exactly what it should be. My friends got the all-natural hot dog and the lamp lollipops. I have never seen a hotdog look so dressed up! Well worth the $ 7.95, plus it came with a side of chips. She reported that the onions were the star of the show. The friend who got the lamb enjoyed the meat, but didn’t care for the sauce. It takes a little bit of time to get your order, which I actually appreciate — it means they are making my food when I order it! Thankful not to have heat-lamp warmed food. Nice work, Grilled Addiction!

By far the best lamb chop I’ve ever had. Seasoned and grilled just right. a slight aoili on top. It is just perfection. You have to keep in mind that they’re just a truck and grill on site to order. If the line’s long, be patient. It is totally worth your time.

A grouping of 3 or 4 come twice a month from 11am-130pm and they usually get really busy meaning long wait times. So today a coworker and I walked down at 11am to try and beat the rush. I decided to try the Grilled Addiction food truck, upon looking at the menu the tri tip sandwich sounded amazing from its description. Although its $ 11+ price with tax that included no side or drink(you can get tots for $ 3 more) was a little concerning but I figured that it would be worth it. I placed my order for the sandwich with no onions. Then I waited, and waited some more. After about 20 minutes I asked if my order was getting close and was told that the tri tip takes a little longer since it is being cooked. Ok, fair enough. After about minute 35 I finally received my sandwich. I immediately noticed that it contained onions and was very small for the $ 11 price tag. I went back up to my office(about a minute elevator ride) and say down to eat my sandwich. When I took the first bite I noticed that the 5 little pieces of tri tip that were in the mostly bread sandwich were ice cold. Even though I was told that the tri tip just came off the grill. Needless to say I will not be going back to the Grilled Addiction and I would recommend to avoid it as well unless you like a place that gets your order wrong as it serves you ice cold over priced sandwiches that you wait 30 minutes for.

Their food is delicious!!! My girlfriend had the lamb-chops and I had their burger. Both were seasoned and cooked perfectly! They are a prime example of those hidden gem food trucks you hear about. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot.

I’d like to review Grilled Addiction’s food, but the wait was so long that I never got to eat it. Food trucks are supposed to be fast. Limit the menu, speed up the service. Also, the truck ran out of ice in its first hour of operation. Fail.

This food truck came to my office today for lunch. I got the tri-tip sandwich — it was okay, the meat was a little rare for my liking, I wish I would have known just how pink it was before I ordered, as I would have make a different selection. Also, we waited 50MINUTESFOREVERYONEINOURGROUPTOGETOURFOOD! That is just absolutely ABSURD for a food truck! Plus, my sandwich was $ 11 no side or drink. While the sandwich, was decent. it was not worth a minute 50 min wait or $ 11.

Was at an event at Brix Wine in Carefree last night and they had the Grilled Addiction food truck set up in their parking lot. Everyone was amazed at the great food that came out of that truck! The fav was the lollipop lamb chops and risotto. Great risotto out of a food truck! Really nice folks own and run the truck and are sending some great food out the doors. After the event was over, I asked if I could see the inside of their truck and they were happy to show this beautiful truck off. It is wall to wall stainless steel and beyond clean. The cab of the truck is way cool, like riding in a big rig. Can’t wait to find them at the next event. Would be a great way to cater a party at your house. Thanks guys and gal, Patty and Bubba
