Mel's Rock N' Bbq - Harrisburg

Sad sad sad. Simple canned beans, wonder bread and frozen chicken strips trying to pass as bbq. I could have got the whole meal from the frozen aisle at giant for 2 bucks. The fries were cold and the chicken was chewy. Awful meal and the only reason I'm not giving 1 star is because I am sure covid has something to do with it. But don't lie and say you are a bbq food truck if you aren't going to bbq.

Back when Covid just started, everyone was in quarantine. Food trucks made their appearance in residential areas. Excited, I went out of quarantine to stand in a forever long line. Thankfully my neighbor was there too. The food I finally received.... horrible! The chicken was way overpriced, and some foods were obviously microwaved. I've never thrown out a full meal before. Mel's Rocket N' BBQ was the first (and only) meal I have ever thrown away. It was so bad, I can't even begin to describe it. I have eaten bad food many times, but this place was the worst I've ever had. The next day, I asked my neighbor about her food. She said she threw it out too!

Mels Rockn BBQ truck came to our neighborhood. I try to support the vendors who take the time to come here. I made the mistake of ordering a cheeseburger with fries. Neither item was even warm let alone slightly hot. the tomato was a thin slice off the end of the tomato. Clearly the burger had been made some time prior to coming to our area and probably microwaved. Okay, I get that and if the taste was there I would not be writing this. It tasted like cardboard. The fries were the worst I have ever tasted. they had a taste I have never experienced with fries. I don't know what oil they were cooking them in but they were not edible. They must have been cooking the fries in wish another item. Nasty! Interestingly , they had the side down so you could not look into the truck as you can on most food trucks. Now my critique only applies to the burger and fries. I did not sample anything else on the menu. so it is possible I chose the wrong items. I am glad I did not tip when he asked if I wanted to leave a tip on the card. I wont be back since I don't feel like taking a chance on the other menu items.

The Mac cheese bowl with BBQ chicken hotdogs were fresh and very tasty today. The chicken was very tender and sauce was perfect!!!

We had a event scheduled and they never showed and I tried to call multiple times and it just went to voicemail.
