We were thrifting in the area looking for some BBQ and came across this joint in a small strip mall. Looks like it ma and pa bussiness. So we were excited to try.
Now I would like to say this was like an hour and half before closing so maybe that why the whole experience wasn't amazing. We walked in was greeted by a guy behind the counter. He seemed nice but little confused behind the counter. We ordered our food chicken cheese streak and some pulled pork with sides and an app of there brisket egg rolls. Everyone seems to be doing egg rolls now a days as an app why not try it. We also ordered two bottles of soda. It came out to over fifty which was little more than what we wanted to pay but if it's good BBQ it's all good.
We sat and waited for our food as other customers was being taken care of. The guy behind the counter seemed to be little off with them too.maybe 10- 15 minutes later we got our food. The brisket egg rolls had a solid taste to them with some interesting dipping sauce. We just used there BBQ sauce they made which was pretty good. The egg rolls had a good crunch to them and had good amount of filling to them.
The pulled pork wasn't bad but it seemed like wasn't cut freshly but sitting in counter already cut up. I wasn't a huge fan of it. I took it home. And family at home wasn't a fan of it either. (Now again this was close to the end of the day for them and that may be the reason.) I am also use to the BBQ being cut fresh to order at the place I frequent in my area. But let's move on from that. The sides were definitely done well and you got a good portion of them. The collar green had a good garlic fresh taste to them. The Mac and cheese wasn't super cheesy but had just enough that it wasn't horrible but not over the moon good it was in between. My partner chicken cheese steak wasn't bad but was definitely missing something flavor wise just like the pull pork was. He had the side of Mac and cheese which he isn't sure how he got it because he didn't order it. I think there was a miscommunication with the guy behind the counter but it was close to closing and they were busy so we didn't want to cause any issues about a couple of dollars.
I think the atmosphere was real good fit for the BBQ feel well and very family friendly. The man behind the counter was amazing with family that came after us with his interaction with the kids and had a good time. He may had little confusion behind the counter but he was definitely a people person. And tried to do the best he could.
I don't know if I was in the area I would try again but wasn't bad all together. Not the greatest either but hey it was close to the end of the night and you get what you get. Also seems like there was not a large amount of people working at that time but they were on tops everything still. Maybe it was an off night so please support them. And see if your experience was better than mine. They seem to really care and trying there best. I wish them the best in there future.

Went with the two meat platter which includes two sides. I opted for Ribs, Brisket, Waffle Fries & Cole Slaw. Both meats were cooked perfectly and the dry rub / bark was great. Waffle fries were perfect and cole slaw was refreshing and easy going.
The house BBQ sauce options were a bit sweet for my preference but good. The spicy bbq was my preferred.
Atmosphere is casual and approachable. Limited seating. Clean all around including the bathrooms.
Total price was about $22 but a large enough food portion to yield leftovers with proper self control.
This was my first visit but would definitely go back.

I LOVE the food here. I've eaten in a few times and have never been disappointed with the quality. Staff is always friendly. Last time we got takeout, we didn't get any of the pickled onions etc., and our cupcakes weren't in the bag. I should have checked before driving home though, lol. Other than that, absolutely will continue to go back. I prefer this home location over the Trolley Barn pop up.

I've been meaning to try this place, since I drive past it frequently, so I finally made a trip there for lunch. I already had a ChowNow account setup from ordering at a BBQ place down in North Carolina, and I was surprised to see that's the same system used here. Anyways, I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak. Probably not the ideal thing to order at a BBQ restaurant, but I really like a good Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak, and it sounded good in the description. I went and picked up my food and was surprised to enter the store and hear loud, 1990's rap music playing! It was old enough music, that I actually recognized the song and artist, which I can't do with modern pop music. Anyways, my food was ready at the time they said it would be, and I brought it back to work to eat. The pickled onions were good. I didn't know if I'd like them, but I did. The pickles were also good. The sandwich was okay, but I was a bit disappointed. There was a ton of good chicken on there, but the sauce wasn't a traditional Frank's style buffalo. It was somewhat spicy, but didn't have the right flavor. The roll that they used was good, but seemed way too short for the amount of meat that they gave me. And oddly, the roll wasn't sliced all the way down, and was instead cut open almost like a pouch. I ended up using a fork to eat a lot of the chicken before I could pick the sandwich up and eat it with my hands. It also came with a small bag of plain chips which were a good compliment. Summary: good chicken, but not good buffalo chicken, and it was a bit pricey for just a sandwich and a bag of chips. I'll have to try something else next time, more in line with traditional BBQ food.

The MeatWagon BBQ, along with the wonderful Michelle, catered our son's wedding at our home this past Saturday. I hadn't tried the food prior, but heard it good. Let me just say it wasn't good, it was great! We had about 140 guests, and they raved over everything from the pulled pork, to the baked chicken, slaw, baked beans, and the mac & cheese. The portions were incredibly generous-everyone had plenty of each item. Shout-out to Michelle, who ran the food truck the day of the wedding, from start to finish, she was wonderful to work with, extremely efficient and kind. She served the food quickly too, no one waited in long lines. The MeatWagon was simply a total hit! I would recommend their catering 100 times over!

We had MeatWagon BBQ served at our wedding on 10/7/23. It was amazing. Everyone was raving about the food all night. Guests took business card and texted us days following the wedding asking for the caterers information!
The staff was fantastic. They came over to me and my new husband right away asking what we wanted on our plate she was going to make for us. They served our little nieces first, and were super accommodating to our guest with a serious food allergy. Everyone enjoyed the food so much, leftovers were a hit!
Thanks so much for making everything so easy! Michelle is awesome and super helpful.
Hire MeatWagon for literally any event, you wont be disappointed!

I'm always on the lookout for excellent BBQ. Not good BBQ, *excellent* BBQ. Definitely found it here! The brisket is outstanding! (Make sure to ask for the moist/fatty brisket) The ribs are delicious, the tots are great and a huge portion. I also get the street corn every time I go. And, not for nothing, their sauces are also spot on. Oh yeah, you'd be a fool not to get a couple of gourmet cupcakes for later.
Nick did an unbelievable job for our Company BBQ, some of the best I've ever eaten. Everyone raved about the food! We had ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs and awesome brisket. I highly recommend The Meat Wagon for any event! We'll definitely have them next year.
