Atlanta Burger Truck

Consumer Beware– If you are hiring this company to cater your event, I must caution you that the owners do not adhere to contracts. I had a contract with «The Atlanta Burger Truck» to cater my event and serve out of the truck, and not only did they show up an hour and a half late, they showed up in a Subaru Outback and another small car packed to the gills with no Burger Truck in sight. They claimed that the truck broke down, and they could not get it started to attend the event, but said that they do not offer refunds if food is served (even though again– my contract was a contract for The Atlanta Burger Truck in attendance at my event.) I understand that things can happen, but I also understand that there were music festivals going on that weekend in Atlanta, so if they stand by the fact that they do not offer guarantees on arrival of the Atlanta Burger Truck at your event– even though that is what your contract states, what would motivate them to bring the truck to your event when the owners think they might be able to send the truck elsewhere and still collect the money for your event?
My contract also stated that milkshakes and floats would be served at my event but they were not.
To say that I was disappointed in the integrity of these owners to totally disregard the contractual understanding that I had with them, but to also completely alter the atmosphere of what my event that I planned for over a year with them was supposed to be would be a gross understatement. The only thing that this company provided was the hamburgers. My contract was that they would arrive an hour and a half before they did, for the attendance of the Burger Truck, Milkshakes and Floats, and Burgers to be served, and what I got was Burgers. So I got less than half of what I understood from our contract that I would be receiving, and they only refunded me 25%.

I tried the buck head turkey burger with the goat cheese and tomato jam at an event held by cricket cellular company. The burger was excellent and the tomato jam was delicious the guys on the truck were very friendly I will be looking for this truck again. I really enjoyed the food. The fries were good too. Locate the truck if you can. They have a face book page that tells you where they are going to be next. It’s worth the trying.

So I tried ‘The Buckhead’- turkey burger with goat cheese, tomato jam, lettuce, red onion on a sesame seed bun. If you visit the website keep in mind what you get may be different than what they have listed there. My bun was not the glossy one pictured on the site. And my turkey burger came with regular lettuce not arugula.
Overall the burger was good. At first glance I thought I was going to have to put ketchup all over it but it ended up more flavorful than I expected. The bites with the tomato jam were good. I liked the sweetness. Make sure you enjoy the pungent bite of goat cheese if you get this– I do so it added a nice profile. The patty itself was as good as a turkey patty can get I suppose. I wanted to try something different and now kind of wish I tried the regular burger– but it was good– It reminded me of ground chicken kebabs I’ve had in the past. I realize I keep saying good. And that’s all it was– a good turkey burger that reminded me of something homemade. Not bad.
What was not great? The potato salad :(the flavors were really good– you can’t go wrong with bacon, cheese, mayo. But the potatoes were very dry and almost crumbly. Kind of like they were fried then refrigerated– like day old french fries. I like my potatoes boiled for a softer texture in potato salad.
I would visit again to try a regular beef burger. I think if they just mastered some good french fries they could forget the other sides. I don’t get the logic but I think if you’re gonna sell burgers you should have some good olé fashioned fries to accompany. Perhaps thin cut fries and offer different toppings and sauces.
