Roadhouse Rotisserie

When you have a food truck you need two things: good customer service and the best food. On Saturday a friend had this truck for a derby party and the truck was not a highlight of the event but a disappointment. The food was mediocre at best and you had to wait between a ½ hour and an hour for your meal. If you inquired about your food you were yelled at and when they were done the argued with my friend and one of the men hit the truck. UNPROFESSIONAL!!!

¼ rotisserie chicken with side salad, baguette, potatoes. The chicken was tender and the skin crispy and sweet. The guy was super nice, he let me try some samples. Company bought lunch for us but the price is very reasonable and the ingredients are fresh.

Had the pulled pork sandwich from the food truck at California Plaza the other day for lunch. It was quite delicious, very greasy though. The bread was so fresh, soft and buttery. The pork was sweet and juicy and there was just the right amount of BBQ sauce, the service was good and food came quickly. Takes credit cards!

Super shady business practices… avoid their deception, especially since the food is mediocre at best.
First the Food:
— I had a rotisserie chicken sandwich, co-​workers got the ½ rotisserie chicken combo. The chicken itself is pretty standard (a little less greasy than Ralphs but no more flavorful). The potatoes were mushy and flavorless. The sandwich itself was decent, good combos of cherry tomatoes and greens but was too dry (even with the spread they put on it). Their homemade bread (the best part!) was soggy on one half and was falling apart by the end of the sandwich… pretty bad tell for a baguette or any sandwich in general!
Now for the shady tax scam they run:
$ 7 posted for a chicken sandwich… employee charges $ 8.70 to the card. This doesn’t add up so I inquire. His response…‘well we charge a $ 0.50 CC fee and tax as well. Still doesn’t add up…$ 7 with a 9% sales tax + $ 0.50 = $ 8.13. His response to this…‘well LA charges food trucks a special extra tax’
—No they don’t!: Read the laws and become compliant.
(read: post your prices as the final amount charged like all other food trucks do, as is now permitted and encouraged by law)
If you continue to scam your customers and run shady business practices it is only a matter of time until you are out of business… or worse… hit with litigation. This matter is only for the small sum of $ 0.57 but the principle of the situation is clear here.
If this was a simple mistake (even through your employee argued that this charge was in fact truthful and invalidated)…then a simple public apology and correction of the charge is suitable. If this was in planned deception, I highly recommend you reassess your business practices and tax analysis.
Much love and good luck!

The chicken waffle combo tasted pretty good, though the waffle was not as fluffy as it could have been. Wompwomp.
The packets of syrup left something to be desired as well.
The most glaring issue is it is probably overpriced but since it’s a food truck, I will give them the benefit of the doubt since it’s tough on on those streets. I don’t like giving worse reviews when the grind is real out there…

Maybe I just caught them on a bad day but my chicken was very dry. The skin is tasty and overall flavor good but anyone can make dry chicken. Potatoes aren’t bad but there’s nothing special about this place. I’m from the east coast and would take Boston Market over it any day.

Had the opportunity to try them out yesterday for lunch at the job. Here is my review:
1. The wait took a little bit longer than expected (to pay and pick up) only one person preparing the food during the busiest time of the day.
2. Potatos/​fries were hard and stale
3. Excellent customer service!
4. The ¼ chicken was excellent!!! Salad was nicely prepared as well
5. The men on the truck were fine as hell! So yes I will be back :)

tasty, good price so it’s worth going back to if available but I wouldn’t follow them.

I’m a huge supporter of the food trucks and even blog about them. Lately the variety of the new food trucks have been a little, hmm, boring? Boring doesn’t mean not good, but for me to try a new food truck, you should be different enough for me to drive to spend my hard earned money.
The Narbonne High School has one of the best truck gatherings on Thursday nights. Promoter Glenn makes every effort to bring the new food trucks on his lot, and has given many new trucks their debuts and big break. So when he promoted Roadhouse Rotisserie, I drove up from Orange County to try the food.
I was quite impressed that there’s an actual rotisserie on board this truck. I guess its like how Bakery Truck has an oven onboard, so the cream puffs and cookies are made on the spot. Roadhouse had a bunch of chickens spinning around, and when I walked up, the young man suggested the chicken or pulled pork. Well, considering the rotisserie has chickens spinning around, I decided on the quarter chicken meal, plus on the chalkboard, the word «Roast Peking Duck» caught my eye. $ 5 more? Sure.
The food came out relatively fast, and my box had my quarter chicken, a roasted duck leg, salad, a 3 inch baguette, and potatoes. The chicken was delicious but the duck was amazing! It didn’t have the crisp skin like a real peking duck, but it was a genuine roast duck like a chinese deli would sell. I think, however, it was a bit pricy for $ 5. Yes, duck is more pricy than a chicken, but for the value, I would have liked a filet of duck breast for $ 5, not a duck leg I had to gnaw on like a pupppy.
Overall a good meal, but as a food truck enthusiast, I was not happy to eat a meal that contained bones. Lucky Southbay DinDinaGogo has tables and chairs, so I was able to sit down and manage a plated meal, but if I were to stand or even sit on the curb, chicken and duck with bones is not a «Food truck» food item.
Maybe next time I will ask for the chicken sandwich, but toss the bread and serve my food over lettuce instead.

‘Here’s a no brainer, If you eat at an establishment that beyond specializing on but actually names itself after a dish on the menu…
I ordered the chicken sandwich and as I expected, great rotisserie chicken. You could actually taste that familiar melt in your mouth texture of the rotisserie chicken and the wonderful flavor comes right through. The bread was not overpowering, the chicken was allowed to be the star. And I will say this is way better than the chickens you get in your local market or at Costco… You laugh but those Costco ones are good… These are better!
If you like rotisserie chicken, you won’t go wrong here
So all I have left to say is.

Chicken sandwich was a little underwhelming, but it had the right idea.
Fresh bread, chicken, arugula… it was the sauce that ruined it.
I’m not writing this review to complain, just to better the product.
Your chicken is clearly fresh and tastes delicious, I would just rework that sauce… and maybe not put too much of it, it was swimming is some mayo looking sauce.
Good friendly service, will definitely come back :)

This is one of my all-​time favorite food trucks. The chicken is moist and tender, with a perfectly seasoned crispy skin. The potatoes and salad make for a well-​rounded meal. The combination of skilled, passionate preparation and fresh, delicious ingredients makes for a thoroughly satisfying mealtime experience. I’ve tried both the chicken meal and the pork sandwich. I absolutely need another one of those pork sandwiches. I hope to see the Roadhouse Rotisserie in downtown LA soon!

I should have taken a photo.
It was freakin delicious.
I was going to order a ¼ chicken dark but the smell of the food convinced me to throw on another leg and thigh.
Chicken was juicy, crispy skin, covered in rosemary and herbs. Potatoes were delicious. Salad (which I’m never excited by if it comes from a truck) was full of fresh dark greens, grade a tomatoes and onions, and the salad dressing was made out of minced garlic and chillies.
I mean, come on.
Licked my little to go box clean.
These gentlemen know their chicken.

Because of my funky class schedule on Mondays, I usually don’t get to eat lunch until 2 p.m. which is both a curse and a blessing. A curse because, well, I get hungry. A blessing because by the time I get out of class, the food trucks start appearing by my apartment complex and I get my pick of cuisines.
This time, however, there was only one food truck. But there was something about this truck… the fact that it looked so new, the fact that it’s blue metallic exterior was so sheen… pulled me in. The menu was pretty basic. There were two chicken meals to choose from, a sandwich and a salad. I wasn’t up for eating a whole chicken meal, so I ordered a Rotisserie Chicken sandwich, which came out within two minutes.
If food comes out that quickly, it’s easy to be a little skeptical. I walked back to my apartment, opened up the plastic container that held my sandwich, took a bite… and found myself pleasantly surprised. First of all, the bread that Roadhouse Rotisserie uses is definitely homemade. I don’t know if they bought it from someplace else or made it themselves, but it was SO good… I mean freakishly good. Then the vegetables, including fresh red onions, tomatoes and cucumbers complimented the rotisserie chicken very well. The tangy-​sweet chipotle aioli that was dripped from the sides of the sandwich was INCREDIBLE and made the sandwich that much better.
It was an unexpectedly happy find, to say the least. I stopped by this truck on a complete whim and ended up very, very satisfied. If you see this blue truck in your area, drop everything and get some chicken!!!
