The Salad Truck - North Tonawanda

We've all experienced it: you pack a lunch but just aren't in the mood to eat it, or you indulge in something unhealthy only to regret not choosing better. That's why I love the concept of a salad bar truck! You can approach, check out the wide selection of greens, proteins, cheeses, vegetables, nuts, and fruits, and customize a meal that perfectly suits your cravings. I particularly recommend the Concord Grape dressing—it's absolutely delicious! Buffalo now has more food trucks than ever, and many of them are fantastic. I wholeheartedly give The Salad Bar Truck two thumbs up for offering a healthy option with delicious toppings and a friendly staff.

I absolutely love this food truck! They offer vegan and gluten-free options, which is something most other trucks don't provide. I came across a review where someone mentioned they didn't have blue cheese, so I asked the staff about it. The girl explained that they're sponsored by Independent Health, and because blue cheese contains too much saturated fat, it's not allowed on their menu.

I was very disappointed with my experience. The food truck was at my husband's workplace, so I asked him to get me the Edgy Veggie salad. Unfortunately, it was quite small for the $11 price. I was looking forward to the beets and chickpeas that were supposed to be included, as I'm a big fan of both. Unfortunately, neither of my favorites made it into the salad. Lesson learned!

With tons of food truck options out there, one thing to keep in mind is reliability. That is something you never have to worry about with J&L BBQ and The Salad Bar food trucks. Not only is the food fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly and fast paced, but we can always count on them to come on the dates we book with them months prior. Having a truck cancel last minute is a let down to a lot of staff and we never have to worry about that with J&L. Their smoked wings are amazing and The Salad Bar offers a fresh and healthy lunch option. If you are a local business looking for food trucks to bring to your next event, this is one of the best options!

Apparently this truck is part of the J&L BBQ Truck family. Recently they came around to my office, a coworker and I had been intrigued by their offerings only to find out our admin had the outdated winter menu. This truck is a bit unique and sort of not handicap accessible. Walking up the first thing you 'll notice is a raise walkway with stairs. Take note to enter towards the rear of the truck and as you walk through you 'll pay at the passenger side window. It was like a fair attraction, walking up and down the aluminum walkway clacking as you go. The have both predesigned salads and design as you go, think the Subway of salads. I selected the buffalo chicken salad and was later amused I was uncharged for chicken even though it was part of the salad. You can select your lettuce and toppings, including cheeses. The cherry tomatoes were served whole which I thought was odd but I kept it moving. In addition they have a good variety of dressings from rich to basic however the only dressing they didn 't have was blue cheese!?!?! How do you offer a buffalo chicken salad in WNY without blue cheese dressing!?!?!? Overall it was alright but I 've had and made better salads elsewhere. True salad lovers might finds this place heaven.
