Midday Picnic Truck

Midday Picnic is delish! Love the Caprese sliders and the strawberry lemonade hit the spot. I saw people eating the pulled pork on the french fries and it looked yummy! They are so yummy and I didn’t find the wait time to be unreasonable. These are gourmet food trucks and it takes a little time for fresh food. The wait was no longer than other food trucks I eat at. They are really wonderful and have done events at our school as well. They are on time prompt and the kids and parents enjoy them so much. Its nice to have Dad’s look forward to coming to school events! Dad’s love food trucks! Thank you Midday Picnic!

Midday picnic meal: mix n match 3 sliders a side and drink ($ 15).
I tried the beef and pulled pork sliders both were juicy and tender but underseasoned.
It’s a shame because the meat quality and how it’s made is top notch but the bun and condiments didn’t pair up as well.
They forgot my 3^rd slider =(
The side salad was fresh but otherwise unremarkable.
The highlight had to be the lemon pie which came chilled and had a addictive sweet crust which is a perfect yin to the yang of the tart lemon filling. Three bites later and I looked at the empty mini pie tin sadly for 3 minutes before letting out a sigh and resigning myself to go back to work.

Waiting an hour to get my food. Fries were cold, shrimp was over cooked and rubbery, and pulled pork was blah.

For weeks my friends have been posting pictures of Middday Picnic’s Spam Montecristo in mid-​bite, so you could see the thick slice of spam hugged by deep fried goodness! Every photo was haunting my news feeds. So, when the opportunity arose I jumped at the chance of buying myself the Midday Picnic combo, which included either of the following: 3 sliders or 2 sliders and a pie, a drink, and a side (either a salad or fries).
For my Midday Picnic Combo I choose:
— Spam Montecristo: Pièce de résistance! Definitely worth trying… WOULD RECOMMEND! Juicy large slice of spam. Deep fried batter was yumm-​o. It wasn’t greasy and was perfectly fried.
— Shrimp Chorizo Slider: There is more shrimp than chorizo in this slider, which is a great thing considering I don’t like it when chorizo over powers a dish. And chorizo tends to be super greasy and this slider did not do that. Loved it!
— Lemon Icebox Pie: YUM-​O. I’ll admit, the two sliders were very filling and didn’t get to the pie until the next day, but even the next day the pie was divine! The graham cracker really ties together with the tart lemon. I was hooked! Next time, I’m doing 1 slider and 1 pie… so worth it to get the dessert.
— Lychee Iced Tea: Just a hint of lychee in this tea, which I loved because overly sweet tea isn’t fun to drink for me. So, sorry to all you sweet tea lovers… maybe they’ll offer a sweetener for those who do? Unsure.
— Side Salad: Oh loved their salad. Fresh and delicious dressing. They mix the dressing for you, which usually I’m opposed to considering I don’t like my salad swimming in dressing. But they did not do that, it was lightly dressed and was perfect in my opinion.
I would definitely recommend this truck for slider lovers, the Spam Montecristo is definitely a must with a PIE of course!

I’ve tried all the sliders at Midday Picnic and none of them disappoint! The crumbled slider with blue cheese and bacon was so good! The bacon was cooked to perfection and I love the surprise of the blue cheese. My second favorite has got to be the «classic» slider I really enjoyed the pimento cheese in this burger it took the burger and really elevated it. On a side note my fiancé loved the patties also we weren’t sure what was in the patty which made us wrote a note to remember to ask next time.
In the end I was super full and satisfied, I even had some left which reheated in my waffle iron spectacularly. Definitely returning to support this new local business!

This truck looked really promising but the wait time to get very subpar food is unacceptable. When I got to their truck there was nobody at the front window. We waited a good ten minutes before a lady came outside and took orders from outside the truck. There was already a group of 5 – 6 people that looked like they had ordered and were still waiting for their food. By the time I got to the lady and ordered we were 9 people waiting. The reason why I know is because I was ticket number 12 and they had just barely called number 3. Anyways to make a long story short we waited a good 30 – 45 minutes to get our food. The other people around me were also not cool with the wait time and you could clearly see it in some of their faces. I had time to go to 2 different lunch trucks, and get food from those trucks and even finish a sandwich I got from one of those trucks in the time I waited for them to finish making our food. That should say it all about the wait time.
Finally when we got our food, I was sincerely disappointed! We had ordered the chicken classic sliders and what came to us was 2 chicken strips (could have been 1 that was chopped in half) inside a Sara Lee dinner roll bun (I saw the bag of buns) with one lil strip of iceberg lettuce (looked like they got it from inside a salad bag) and runny looking honey mustard. The strips were very dry and seemed like they were flashed fried from frozen chicken strips in a bag. I could have easily bought a bag of Tyson chicken strips, watered down some honey mustard, bought a bag of salad mix and a bag of Sara Lee buns and made it myself. Not to mention they were charging 10 dollars for 2 sliders and fries (which also seemed like was frozen from a bag and flash fried).
I would avoid this truck because the food is not worth it. I don’t know if it was a bad day or what… but 30 – 45 minute wait for some pre-​packaged stuff slapped together and made to be called a «slider» is ridiculous. There are way better trucks that won’t take half as long to make the food and even have better quality/​tasting food!

I think these folks might be related to Local Comfort truck cause they have the same address. they do sliders as a theme and I got the chorizzo shrimp and crumbled (which is bacon and bleu cheese crumbles). They’re $ 5/​per so if you do two get the deal that gives you fries or a slice of pie too. Shrimp was a little mushy but the crumbled was good as were the fries. Will have to try the other flavors like pulled pork and the pie of course! 3.75 stars
