Ok, so first red flag... 1. He wasn't wearing gloves and had dirty disgusting hands . 2. He didn't even give us sodas to wash down that culinary abortion he tried to pass as bbq. He asked me if I wanted soda and didn't charge me... 3. He raised the prices 3 dollars on our sandwiches and 1 side higher than the listed price . 4. The food was disgusting. Sauce burned.. the food tasted like a taste I have never tasted before. It was horrible. He needs to be shut down....really.

Went for dinner at Kaheka location. He does other locations for lunch. Ordered: Brisket & Ribs combo with rice & slaw Dinner frank with chili and side potato salad Brisket was tender, juicy, and smoky delicious. Ribs were fall off the bone. Bbq sauce was also smoky delicious. Slaw was good - not the commercial restaurant type. Rice was plain as it should be but was cooked just right - not dry. Dinner frank with chili was hearty. Chili could use more seasonings by itself but it matched the seasoned frank perfectly. Potato salad was herb-y and homemade flavored and good. If you want homestyle smokehouse bbq food, this is the place. Chatted with owner and he is on 2 hours of sleep a day, busy cooking. Very friendly guy.

Worst portion and food ever had in my life. Paid $20 for the brisket. Portion was so small my friends laughed at me all the way home. Showed other people in my neighborhood the plate, they mocked me. Food taste like it came out of a microwaveable box. Please do not ever by from this fool. I shouldve took notice how cluttered his food truck was with junk. Food truck should be condemned.

Ordered four things from bitesquad, the country ribs, brisket and beans w/brisket came out disappointing as the sauce tasted burnt. Almost as if it had been sitting all day and was the last part of the pot. The brisket has two pieces for $23 and the country ribs had three as well for $25. Even the rice tasted like instant rice with zero flavor. Not worth the $70 spent would not recommend trying this place.

First time visit to this food truck. No one in line or around the truck, that should’ve been a sign. Ordered the brisket plate with potato salad and slaw, $18 The brisket was ok, but only 3 small slices, really.. The slaw had zero taste and the potato salad was some kind of “special blend”, nothing like I’ve ever had. Overall, just due to the cost and portion sizes, I would not recommend this place.
