Shimmy Shack

I ordered the Shimmy Coney and my girlfriend got the chili cheese fries.
The chili cheese fries were pretty good, a solid ⁴⁄₅. There were a lot of good flavors going on and it was well seasoned. The toppings were a bit slippery and didn’t adhere to the fries very well, but that wasn’t too bad of a problem.
My coney was probably the worst food truck dish I’ve ever had. As I walked away from the truck, I spotted a hair on top which I pulled off – whatever. One hair isn’t going to gross me out enough to not eat something to be completely honest. The dog itself was incredibly rubbery and didn’t improve upon chewing. The inside was a bit like chewing a wet bagel. The chili was also very bland. I start walking to the garbage to throw away my half eaten dog when I make a horrifying discovery. I pulled a hair out of my mouth in the chewed food. Maybe, invest in some hair nets?

Finding a food truck that carries delicious vegan food is like striking gold! We discovered Shimmy Shack at Michigan Pride 2015. We ordered the falafal pita, the southwest burger, and the fries (half potato, half sweet potato) with Shimmy Sauce — all amazingly tasty and served with enthusiasm! The food was fresh and hot. I definitely got the impression that care is taken with each order. Waiting a few minutes was well worth it — and better than eating something that has sat under a heat lamp forever. My friend also enjoyed one of their famous strawberry shakes. He said no one would even know it was non-​dairy — absolutely yummy. Thank you, Shimmy Shack, for offering vegetarians and vegans a nice menu of «food truck» fare that is high quality, flavorful and scrumptious! Hopefully we’ll run into you again soon.

This is the second year that we have had Shimmy Shack part of our food truck Summer events at our office! This year even with our hectic scheduling they pulled through and gave us a grand finale that pleased our office! I had the falafel wrap and fries and It was a great treat to brighten up my cloudy day! Debra is so polite and professional to work with! I look forward to next year!

Visited this food truck when they were at a business in Dearborn recently serving lunch.
Backstory: I have been wanting to try this truck out for a while now, but most attempts had been stopped due to other constraints. I did have a slight cold on this day, but dont feel like it affected my ability to taste.
I ordered the Falafel Burger, with mixed fries, and a shake. Service was decently paced considering the style of food, and was very friendly in every step of the way, they even gave me a cookie sample!!!
I will break this one down in steps.
The shake was Banana, and while adequate, I wasnt exactly wowed by it. It comes premade in a cup, im pretty sure from some fridge unit on the truck. This makes sense as a food truck doesnt really have a lot of room or time to hand make every shake, its just not my preferred method.
The fries were delicious and well seasoned, both types. Both sauces I tried were also amazing, especially the garlic sauce.
Speaking of that sauce, it was smothered all over the falafel, which was good, but the burger was just missing one thing from putting it on the level of regular falafels: the pickles/​pickled turnips. i loved the burger, although not as crispy as falafels generally are, the sauce was of course amazing, and it had lettuce and tomato, but I did feel in the end it needed the pickles/​pickled turnips. I could order some dill chips on it next time, but I think what would set this burger over the top would be a diced mix of pickles and pickled turnips on top!
the portions were small, but for the type of food and quality, it was decently priced. I think it was 8 for a combo burger and fries, perfect lunch portion if you ask me.
I cant wait to try out their other offerings next time!!!

I LOVE food trucks! I think the concept is super fun and I love the idea that I can sometimes have my favorites near my house… and sometimes near my work. The rallies are fun… lots of different foods to choose from.
When I heard about the Shimmy Shack, I was so excited to try it. I went vegan about 6 months ago, so anything new in that category makes me excited.
I visited them at the rally in Allen Park. Everything on the menu looked fantastic. The girls running the truck were super nice! I ended up getting the falafel burger and fries. Everything was terrific! The burger was very tasty and the garlic sauce was great. They gave you a choice between regular or sweet potato fries or a combo. I got the regular (I’m not a huge fan of sweet potato fries). They were fresh cut and fried to perfection! They even had different vegan sauces for the fries. I got the curry mayo and it was sooo good!
I will definitely try them again… and next time I will get a shake too!
