I encountered the Local Kebab truck recently at Modern Times. Solid food? Captive audience needing something to help soak up lots of booze? Sold... at least at first glance.
I tried the chicken doner kebab on a rice bowl, or more accurately a rice plate. To be fair, it all went down like something I could whip together myself, which meant that it had a wholesome, home-cooked quality to it. But, at $12.50, I didn't feel like there was a lot of it to begin with. At least if you're watching your portion sizes and calories (especially if you're already boozing up lots of empty carbs

Wow can you say tons of flavor!!!! Omg this truck came to my job today and it was pure bliss. I love all food but today I decided to go with a meatless option and was on the limb of getting a falafel plate or a wrap. The lentil plate was recommended and I'm so glad I went with that option. It is absolutely amazing. Thank you guys for such amazing food and service

I stood at the window and no one was there but a guy inside who decided to do prep work for about 10 minutes until he came over to help me. I was getting a lot of text so I was busy and normally would have walked away with that type of behavior.
When he finally came over I asked him if he was open or what and he said 'yeah' and I said "well I've been standing here a while so I wasn't sure." he had no comment like oh sorry I didn't see you there or anything I know he saw me there he just ignored me.
I'm pretty sure I was the first customer and I ordered

I give the Local Kebab a 3 because the food options were super limited. I was craving falafel and they had run out, which is essentially half their menu. We then ordered the chicken kebab pita and no where does it say this was spicy. I unfortunately have an extra sensitivity to spice, and it was too overwhelming. There should be a warning, either written on the menu or verbal, that this is a spicy option because some people can't hang. The chicken seemed to be good quality though, so hence the 3 stars.
Also, the tip "suggestion" when you check out is 20%, 30%, or 40%. Awfully presumptuous

So far I've had Local Kebab 3 times and every time has been nothing short of amazing! Their ingredients are super fresh from their crispy lettuce to their perfectly grilled chicken and lamb/beef kebabs! They top their plates & sandwiches with some red spice that is absolutely delicious! I'm a wimp so I ask for mild! They also have these delicious lentil rolls that were a very new experience for my tastebuds! Vegan friendly and meat eater friendly. Their portions are pretty big. I always doubt that I can finish but it's so delicious that I tend to surprise myself and gobble it

Went to this food truck with coworkers. While taking our order they made unnecessary comments about my co-worker's appearance. Immediately regretted giving them any money. Really bad look for a company based on service.
Foodwise: they were out of several menu items. Long wait and portions are not proportionate to what the plates cost. My $15 rice bowl came with three forkfulls of rice. Chicken tasted okay but still not anywhere near $15 worth.

One word: Meh.
Ok, that might not be a word.
Had the lamb/beef doner kebab, and it was good, but not $12 good.
Portion size was a little lacking, and although the meat was well seasoned (almost too much, which I liked), it seemed like it had been sitting on a warmer for a while, not fresh cooked.
I'll give 'em another shot, but I won't be pulling over just I see them on the side of the road...

What a great find! I'm usually hesitant to go to Mediterranean places because they often only have falafel for the veggie centric folks. I find that boring. But here they have a really flavorful lentil and bulgur roll! I'm very very impressed. It's not fried and its seasoned very well. I got mine in a warm pita and it was perfect for a rainy day.
The owner was very friendly and shared that the lentil roll is his mom's recipe. Kudos to mom!

Sadly visited Alesmith Brewery hoping to have a satisfying meal
with the wonderful beer.
Got my hopes dashed by only "chicken" kebab in a pita bread.
We hoped to maximize our meal with a "plate".
But the server recommended "pita bread" suggesting it's
more difficult for him to serve 6 plates of "chicken kebab"
versus serving 6 pita breads.
Don't understand the reason but maybe it was cost related.
Secondly, kebabs should also have "lamb" has mandatory
and not an option. "chicken" kebab ... really ?

Only giving this place a one star instead of none because 1) I cant give 0 stars lol and 2) at least the owner was a nice person.
I came here for maker's arcade and saw the food looked really good, however what you see was not what you got. I have several complaints
1) The rice/salad plates were as big as side dishes for $12.50??? And it came with half the meat chipotle gives you and enough rice for 4 bites... I'm a small girl who doesn't eat much and this did not fill me up one bit.
2) The food came out very slow..took almost half an hour and only 2 people were in front of

I found this business posted up at Ale Smith and when having some beers this really hit the spot. Just while ordering in front you immediately smell the flavors and aromas from everything that he is cooking. I tried the Lamb and Beef Doner Kabob which was fresh and tasty! Service was a bit on the slower side, but nonetheless for yummy Turkish food patience is a virtue. I highly recommend and will return for more when I catch this food truck around town.

Small business owner my a really nice guy from Turkey! It took me a while to write a review but here it is!
I eat this probably every Monday since he is always there at FALL BREWERY!
Food: chicken kebob gyro is my all time favorite! Flavorful chicken and fresh veggies! I always ask for extra sauce because that sauce is app good! Chicken is moist and the beard is warm and soft!
Service is awesome and it's nice to see he love what he does! Very professional and easy to deal with! QUICK AND EASY!
He always has options for vegetarians! Over all great food and wonderful service! Plus

I ran into this Kebabery at the Helix Brewery and ordered a lamb and beef Döner kebab with a terrific blend of authentic Turkish spices. I say authentic because the spice mix actually comes all the way from Turkey.
The Döner kebab was all about those Turkish flavors. They aggressive in a very good way and packed a touch of heat as well. The heat was subtle but definitely was felt on the palate. As a result, the lamb and beef were very flavorful. The Döner kebab also came with a familiar yogurt sauce or a Tzatziki which not only tasted great but also complimented the Turkish spices and added
