🌯 Food Dude breakfast burritos are starting back up tomorrow (Wed 26)!!!

1335 Addison Ave E

These bad boys weigh in at over 1 lb ea and are stuffed w/sausage, bacon, ham, potato, egg, & cheese. All the pork is sourced fresh & local from Falls Brand.

$10 ea or get a Bag of Burritos: buy 4 get 1 FREE

We're still (im)patiently waiting to serve BBQ. We anticipate getting the final go-ahead in one week. In the meantime, many of you have found a way around the wait with special orders. Want to pick up some ribs, brisket, or tri tip for an event? Shoot us a message and we can probably make it happen!

We appreciate you!

Things are still progressing w/our move to Burger Stop. We've been much busier than expected & are going through several hundred burgers each day! We're adapting to the high demand, and we've been working to establish a more effective ordering/serving system to make sure your orders are getting out quickly & accurately. There have been some hiccups, but we're addressing them & we appreciate your support & patience!

The biggest question we get each day is when will the BBQ be there? At this point we want to make sure the burgers are up to standard & perfect before we bring anything else in. Every day gets better, but building consistency is our first priority. See below for some upcoming chances to grab our bbq from the food truck!

In the meantime: we REALLY appreciate your business. Come grab a burger! 2:00 - 4:00 or after 7:00 are the best for short wait times.

We're taking the food truck to Cedar Draw Cider for PASTA NIGHT this evening, 5 - 9. Come grab our Brisket Lasagna or Tri Tip Alfredo. We'll have smoked Tri Tip Sandwiches for those of you craving BBQ as much as we are!

The food truck is out for various events the next few days, but we are planning to open at least two or three times this upcoming week. We'll have brisket, tri tip, & more of your favorites. More details to come!

We're still waiting for our licensing to transfer to the new place, so unfortunately the grand opening is being pushed back. We're hoping for the 8th, but will keep you posted as we hear more.

🍔🍔 In the meantime, come grab some burgers! It's your same favorite Burger Stop lineup but with fresh burger now!

We appreciate you!!

Update

Things are moving quick with our move over to Burger Stop! We've replaced some equipment and have been painting and overall getting ready to combine our spots! We're working closely with the Burger Stop staff (now part of the Food Dude family) to work thru the menus and keep customer favorites while getting rid of things that don't sell or make sense to keep. The staff has been really great to get to know and we have tons of respect for what they've been doing.

To clarify one thing: Burger Stop has been family owned and operated since they opened in 1979. We grew up coming to Burger Stop as kids, so we have a stake in keeping their traditions going. Food service life is draining, and we understand their need to step back and focus on their other careers and retirement. Their family has been very generous and helpful and supportive during this transition. They're excited for this, and so are we. This is not an end to Burger Stop, it's just the next phase as we combine a local icon with our forward-looking BBQ.

We've read your messages, talked to many of you in person, and have heard what you've told the Burger Stop staff.

Here are answers to some of your questions:

All burgers will be made with high quality, locally sourced meat that we grind here. Fresh and local cost more than frozen, and there are higher costs associated with having staff sort, cut, grind, & weigh the meat. These will be very high quality burgers!

Price: even though they cost more, we're keeping prices as low as possible. Most burgers are only going up by 50 cents. This will remain a budget friendly, family focused burger joint! Prices start at just $6.49 -- we're proud to stand behind that quality and value.

Pastrami is staying, but we'll be smoking it here before slicing it thin for your burgers or sandwiches.

Nearly all burgers are staying, in addition to a few additions of our own. The burgers leaving came at the recommendation of Burger Stop staff, based on their experience of what doesn't sell or what is similar and can be combined with another option.

The ice cream/milkshakes are not staying. This was a hard one, but they take up a lot of space and the staff don't like making them because they throw off the flow of serving you quickly and efficiently.

Breakfast is staying, with the addition of our breakfast burritos and brisket breakfast tacos.

Malibu chicken and chicken strips are staying, but will be made with fresh chicken and house breading.

We appreciate your continued support! We'll post more info on the updated menus tomorrow, along with the grand opening this weekend!

You came out in force last night for pizza at Cedar Draw Cider, THANK YOU!!

Unfortunately we have to cancel the second pizza night. The AC went out in the food truck and it's too hot for the staff to safely operate with even hotter weather forecast for today. Stay hydrated, and still go out for your favorite ciders later!

We've been quiet on social media for a while, but there's been tons going on behind the scenes that we're excited to start updating on early next week.

🍕 In the meantime, we're spending the weekend at our favorite food truck spot -- Cedar Draw Cider -- today and tomorrow. Pizza has been a Cedar Draw customer favorite, and we're grateful they're letting us use their wood fired pizza oven! Serving 5 - 9 tonight and 3 - 9 tomorrow. Pairs perfect with their ciders!

🥩 If you can't make it out to Buhl tonight or tomorrow, please consider supporting us at our 1186 Kimberly Rd location with a limited BBQ menu. Just a few more days until we move!

🍔 Burger Stop on Addison, just a few days left until we combine with them!

🍕 Pizzeria Antico -- our FAVORITE pizza of all time, from anywhere. They use the highest quality ingredients and will change your life. They're open in their new spot north of 5 points, go check them out!

Big Update!!!

We're moving to a bigger location!

Going from a food truck to our first brick and mortar was a scary move 10 months ago. We had high hopes and expected to be here forever. We're very grateful to the Shake Out family for letting us use their space.

We've been blown away by your support, and it's become clear that we need more space. Combined with the now constant battle with road construction, this is the best time to move.

Thankfully, Burger Stop reached out to us to talk about merging. Their family has been feeding our community since 1979, and they're ready to take a step back. They want new life and fresh ideas brought in while honoring the Burger Stop legacy. We're grateful they chose us. We've met with Burger Stop's staff and are keeping everyone who wants to stay.

This move will allow us to run our full BBQ menu more consistently, and we're combining our burger menu with Burger Stop's to keep existing customers happy. The biggest change will be the switch from frozen patties to our fresh burger, ground in-house. Our customers from the food truck days will be excited to hear that we're bringing back our thicc smash burgers as the base for all burgers on the menu (we'll keep the smoked burgers as well).

More details to come, but we couldn't be more excited for the potential with the expanded menus and space. We're planning a year-round outdoor seating area, live music, events, & beer & wine offerings.

Burger Stop will continue operating with their normal menu thru the end of the month, & then our merged menu will go into effect after that. Our Grand Opening is Aug 1 (the Food Dude's birthday) & we'd like to go BIG. What would you prefer, a Whole Pig Roast or an All-You-Can-Eat BBQ feast?

As always, WE APPRECIATE YOU!!
