Summary: Tasty food, but I found it overpriced for what you get. While in the neighbourhood this week, I decided to try Red Roasters since it is one of the food trucks on Bank that opened up last year. I’ve tried the Urban Cowboy food truck down the street and quite liked what I had so I thought I’d give Red Roasters a try. FOOD I ordered the chicken sandwich for myself and a pair of their pulled pork tacos for a friend. I have to say I liked the chicken sandwich, though their choice of bun isn’t one I would make(a bit to plain and boring). My friend found the tacos tasty as well. The portions are on the smaller side. Their menu is rather limited. They have their chicken sandwich, their tacos, a salad, and sweet potatoe fries. They also had a daily special. That’s it, that’s all. COST/VALUE And this is my main issue with Red Roasters(which my friend agreed with). At $ 9 for a main and $ 6 for sweet potatoe fries(which I didn’t try), that too me is about $ 2-$ 3 too much for what you get.(If you order a combo, you get the main, the fries, and a drink for $ 15). This, unfortunately, is a common occurrence with a lot of the new food trucks that opened up last year(Red Roasters isn’t the only one). I guess time will tell if selling items at this price is a good decision or not. LOCATION/PARKING Their location on Bank is such that you should be able to find parking on a side street nearby if arriving by car. SEATING There isn’t any seating at the food truck but it is on a part of Bank that is less occupied so finding a spot on the sidewalk to eat shouldn’t be a problem. WOULD I GOBACK? I liked what I had but I wouldn’t go back.

Today’s menu had 2 offerings — chicken club and pork tacos — along with several sides. Picked coleslaw and sweet potato fries. Tacos were great — but what really shone were the sides. Absolutely fantastic — both the slaw and the fries. Service was cheerful, love their truck(which I guess passes for great décor in the food truck world) and the location is perfect, with a park just steps away and lots of suitable srocks to sit on. We got there just before noon — and just before ‘the rush’ — at one point, I think there were about 20 people in line. Would I return: Yes Woudl I recommend: Yes — particularly if the weather is great and you just want to soak it up.
