The concept was a great one, but the festival and the food trucks were no where close to prepared for the amount of people that showed up. Not sure if it was great marketing or groupon, but there were way too many people there or way too few of food trucks. If this event happens again next year I would advise to either double or triple the amount of food trucks or cap the number of attendees. I would also advise of having this at a different venue or get new traffic control management. This was our day in a nutshell. Waited 45 minutes to park. This was a little frustrating, but we were so excited it didn't seem that bad. Once we entered the event we noticed right away the lines for the food trucks were very long. We game planned to split up and get in two lines. Little did we know the lines were so slow. At one food truck there was a line to get tickets then go to another line (Epic Hotdogs). Almost an hour and a half later we finally get some food. The hotdog was cold and obviously the ingredients had changed a little bit while we were in line. The had ran out of some ingredients and were improvising. So frustrating. Needless to say we were able to hit only one more truck each, unfortunately we didn't go to this event to be separated. The next food truck the owner of the truck (gourmet frybreads) was extremely rude and obviously overwhelmed with the situation. We all left hungry and very let down. I haven't even talked about the cost of everything. I had no problem with the $5 parking and the $10 cover if things were the way I expected. Everything was way too expensive for the experience. The food was way overpriced. $4 for a half a hotdog. $6.50 for a frybread with beans? Really, now the food trucks are gouging us! $7 beer? Well if you wait at the tent for a beer it's $3. The $7 beer seemed like a better deal seeing i didn't have to wait 45 minutes. I hate to write reviews like this because I am just repeating what others are saying. If you decide to do this event next year I am sure you will make adjustments. It will have to be a lot for us to go back. Great concept but horrible execution.
