May 8, 2025

The food truck scene in Sioux Falls is going strong for another season — and we’ve got updates on more than 110 of them. As always, a few trucks have gone out of business for a variety of reasons. What’s new this year? Lobster rolls, frog legs, Belgian and liege waffles, barbecue, Hawaiian smoothies and whole chickens with rice and beans. What did we lose — permanently or at least for the season? Gourmet mac-and-cheese,  gourmet street tacos, deep-fried burgers, barbecue in Tea and egg rolls. Still expected this season? A Big Poppa’s Pizza truck and a barbecue truck from Windy City Bites.

This guide will be updated throughout the season, so bookmark it, and check back often! Watch for individual stories on new food trucks at SiouxFalls.Business too.

605 Barbecue Co.

605 Barbecue Co., which started in 2021, has two trucks, allowing it to do multiple events on the same weekend. Owners Zach Bauer, Zach Scott and Jeremy Keizer keep busy catering weddings and other private events but can be found this summer and fall at Country Apple Orchard events and occasional pop-ups. Typical menu items include smoked pulled pork, ribs, beef brisket and chopped chicken. The signature dish is loaded pork mac-and-cheese. Find it on  Facebook and Instagram.

605 Island Guy

This “taste of the islands” joined the Sioux Falls food truck season and can be found three or four times a week at pop-ups in business parking lots or at events. 605 Island Guy features the flavors owner Nefu Mageo enjoyed growing up in American Samoa. “In Samoan culture, everybody loves to cook,” Mageo said. “They fight over who is going to run the grill.” His menu features a sampler plate that allows diners to taste Samoan barbecue chicken, Korean beef ribs and Kalua pork, along with coconut lime rice and the traditional macaroni salad side dish. Other offerings include dishes such as his signature barbecue chicken plate, Kalua pork sandwich and poke nachos. He’s hoping to introduce more traditional foods this season, including the sushi-like Spam musubi and lau lau, which is pork cooked in taro leaves. Find it on Facebook, Instagram and Street Food Finder.The food truck can be booked for public and private events.

605 Serendipity

This mostly neighborhood-traveling ice cream truck is back for a third season in Sioux Falls. Janelle Whempner and her husband, Bill, offer a variety of prepackaged frozen treats, hand-dipped waffle cones and baked goods. They changed their supplier, so look for new treats like KitKat drumsticks, Icee ice pops and Oreo cookie frozen dairy dessert sandwiches. There also are gluten-free and dairy-free options. “Anytime it’s a nice evening, we’ll take it around for a couple of hours,” Janelle Whempner said. 605 Serendipity also can be booked for public and private events. Find locations and contact information on Instagram.

Backyard BBQ

The roster for Backyard BBQ – now in its 11th season – includes four trucks that are busy catering for private events and are staples at public gatherings like Golf Addiction’s Food Truck Tuesdays, concerts at Levitt at the Falls, small-town celebrations and the fall season at Country Apple Orchard. Eric Elenkiwich runs the Sioux Falls operations for his father, who started Backyard BBQ as a restaurant in Brookings and expanded with a Sioux Falls restaurant in 2014. The menu includes pulled pork, brisket and smoked chicken sandwiches, along with sides such as molasses baked beans, mac-and-cheese and coleslaw. The business also operates three other food trucks: Ollies, Street Sweets and Willy’s Fries. Bookings are available for graduation parties, wedding receptions, corporate events, block parties and other private gatherings and public events. Find locations on Street Food Finder and updates on Facebook.

Berkes BBQ

Scott Berke planned to be operating out of a different food truck this summer, but a fire destroyed the bus while it was being refurbished. Luckily, Berke still has his trailer. He usually operates year-round serving lunch crowds across the city but took this winter off. Berke started the business in 2015 and serves brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken and brats, and makes customer-favorite cheesy hash browns, sweet barbecue beans and coleslaw. One of his regular spots is most Thursdays at Tractor Supply Co. on North Cliff Avenue. He posts locations on Street Food Finder and updates on Facebook. Bookings are available for public and private events.

Berrybrook Dairy Nook

Small-batch homemade ice cream is the star of the show for Berrybrook Dairy Nook. “Every flavor uses at least one ingredient raised on our farm,” said Sherilyn Ortman, who owns Berrybrook Organics with her husband, Will. “Customers say our seasonal fruit flavors set us apart.” Look for two new flavors this year: Almond Joy and lime. In addition to ice cream by the scoop, they also serve floats and coolers. The Ortmans make their “clean label” ice cream at the USDA-licensed creamery on their farm near Freeman, where they’re planning a couple of events this summer. Since they started selling ice cream at events in 2018, they’ve mostly done special gatherings like the South Dakota Chislic Festival in Freeman and the 605 Made Night Market in Sioux Falls, and they plan to do more of the same this year. Weekly appearances include farmers markets in Freeman and Yankton, and Saturday and Sunday evenings in the parking lot of Tienda Centroamerica from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Pints of ice cream are available in Sioux Falls at Pomegranate Market, Sioux Falls Food Co-op and Empire Hy-Vee. Berrybrook is available for public and private events. Locations are updated on the calendar at berrybrookdairynook.com, and you can find updates on Facebook.

The Big Orange Truck

The Big Orange Truck got called back into service last summer when owner Dean Marshall ran into delays opening a restaurant in Worthing, with his business partner Austin Metivier. They used it to serve food in an open lot next to the building. The Taco Vault opened in October, and the food truck is back on the market. Marshall said if it doesn’t sell, there’s a chance it could operate in Canton this season.

Big Poppa’s Food Truck

Big Poppa’s Food Truck is headed into a second full season after getting its start in October 2023, and owner Anthony Axtell plans to open another food truck soon. That one will be tied to Big Poppa’s Pizza, the restaurant he opened in December on Minnesota Avenue. Big Poppa’s Food Truck’s signature items are the brisket philly cheesesteak, which is smothered in beer cheese, and the Widowmaker Burger. Typical menu offerings include other hand-crafted burgers, sirloin chislic, smoked barbecue, chicken strips, fries and appetizers. Big Poppa’s crew is filled with first responders, so it offers a free meal to on-duty first responders and law enforcement officers. Customers can order at the window or through the food truck’s website, allowing them to set up a pickup time and pay in advance. Find it on some of the nights at Golf Addiction’s Food Truck Tuesdays and at other events and festivals in the Sioux Falls area. Pop-up places include Avera sites, the Old Courthouse Museum, Bin 201, Stan Houston Equipment, Plains Commerce Bank on Broadband and Ace Hardware in Tea. Customers can find locations on its website, Street Food Finder and Facebook. Big Poppa is taking bookings for public and private events; call general manager Heath Thomsen 605-929-0084 for information.

Big Rig BBQ & Catering

Big Rig BBQ & Catering returned as a food truck last season when the daughters of Bob and Nichole Brenner were home from college for the summer. When Avalon returned to school in Texas, the Brenners followed and operated Big Rig at a farmers market. “We may do some big events, but we probably won’t be operating as a food truck with a regular schedule this year,” Nichole Brenner said of Sioux Falls. Check Facebook for updates.

Black Iris

Beresford-based Black Iris got its start in February 2023 and has been operating year-round since then. Owners Damon and Allison Jarabek serve coffee drinks, tea, real fruit smoothies and muddled lemonades, along with their made-from-scratch cookies, cakes, muffins and pies, with an emphasis on organic, local and fair trade ingredients. Black Iris is in Sioux Falls frequently and can be found every Saturday during farmers market season at Market at the Meridian in Yankton. Find locations on Facebook, Instagram or Street Food Finder. Black Iris is available for public and private events.

Black Iron Waffles

Operating out of an upcycled two-horse trailer, Black Iron Waffles features a simple menu of not-so-simple waffles. Signature dishes include Strawberries & Cream and Ham & Cheese. Autumn Brockevelt and her family began operating Black Iron Waffles in 2022, and during the past winter, she began selling packaged waffle mix. Retailers include JJ’s Wine, Josiah’s Coffeehouse and Look’s Marketplace in Sioux Falls and Rainy Day Coffee in Beresford. The trailer is available for private and public events.

The Black Sheep

Added June 20: The former executive chef at Grille 26 and his uncle have started a food truck with dreams of someday owning a restaurant. The Black Sheep made its debut June 14 . It’s owned by Jorge Garcia and his uncle Bruno Capelbo. The menu features smashburgers, paninis and empanadas and likely will have a feature every week. The burgers and paninis come with battered fries, which are Garcia’s favorite style because “they have that extra crunch.” The kids menu includes an all-beef hot dog, smashburger and chicken tenders, and each meal comes with fries and a drink for $6. Garcia and Capelbo plan to be out seven days a week for lunch and dinner. The Black Sheep can be booked for public and private events, including catering. Find locations on Facebook.

Breaking Burrito

Carlos Salgado started Breaking Burrito in 2016 and has grown the business to include two “Breaking Bad”-themed trucks. Last season, he added a dessert truck called Mr. Churro.

Los Bros Tacos

Brothers Nicholas and Alfredo Ramirez and nephew Devante Barraza have started Los Bros Tacos, which is based at 2700 S. Ellis Road. The brothers grew up in Worthington, Minnesota, and worked in restaurants there, always knowing that they wanted to have a food truck, said Ramon Barraza, who works on the trailer. They moved to Sioux Falls six years ago and started building out their trailer three years ago. The menu features street tacos, with meat choices like steak, chicken and al pastor, which is marinated pork. The brothers grill two types of chicken: one with a dry rub and the other that is marinated overnight. Flautas are another big seller. They make salsas, pico de gallo and guacamole and side dishes of rice and beans. Agua fresca flavors include horchata, mango and pineapple. Hours are 11 a.m. to 6 or 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Once their fryers are approved, they’ll make nachos and other entrees like fried chicken.

Buffalo Gal Concessions

In its sixth year, Buffalo Gal Concessions will be at many of the same car shows and small-town festivals as last year. The season will start in May with a soccer tournament in Sioux Falls.

Central Dakota Perk/Neighborhood Grill

While the Central Dakota Perk drive-up coffee shops in Tea and Harrisburg are for sale, owners Jen and Jed McNaughton are keeping the Neighborhood Grill food truck and Central Dakota Perk coffee trailer and coffee cart, which likely will undergo a name change, Jen McNaughton said. The coffee trailer can be booked for larger outdoor events, and the coffee cart can be booked for events like graduations, office parties and wedding receptions. The plan is to add more coffee carts, McNaughton said. The food truck will be based at the Tea Athletic Complex and will sell food at all games. It will make appearances at other events in the Sioux Falls area and also will spend three weeks in July doing events in Day County, where McNaughton is originally from. During that time, the McNaughtons will use a flat-top grill to keep selling food at the Tea games. The menu includes a signature rib-eye sandwich, along with steak and chicken Philly sandwiches, burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, quesadillas and nachos. Sides include cheesy hash browns, potato salad, macaroni salad and coleslaw.

Cliff and Jeanelle Chamberlain started Clifford’s Doggone Cart with their teen-age sons. The menu features hot dogs made by Creekside Meats in Hartford exclusively for Clifford’s. The all-beef, premium hot dogs are 8 inches long, so they stick out an inch farther on each side of the bun. Offerings include the signature Carolina Red topped with pulled pork and coleslaw, crowd-favorite chili cheese, traditional New Yorker and My Chicago, “which is our take on the traditional Chicago dog. Same elements but easier to eat.” The cart also sells fresh-squeezed lemonade. Clifford’s is available for public and private bookings. Find locations on Facebook or Street Food Finder.

Coffee & More

Andrea Abu of Tea left “corporate America” and pursued her dream of having a cafe by starting with a food truck last year.

Abu also sells homemade baked goods like cinnamon rolls and lemon raspberry bars.

The Corndog Company

Update June 20: The Corndog Company has added a second truck that will be used in Sioux Falls, Vermillion, Yankton and other towns in the area. Since its start last year, The Corndog Company has become a visible part of the food truck scene in Sioux Falls. Ana Gutierrez of South Sioux City, Nebraska, is the owner of the licensed concept, which got its start in Utah. It can be found at pop-ups across Sioux Falls, with frequent appearances at Hot Springs Spa on 41st Street. This season, it will be at a few of the Levitt at the Falls concerts. The signature Epic footlong corndog, which features a quarter-pound, all-beef hot dog and is served with honey, also comes in a mini version that’s half the size. The current featured offering is a corn dog with jalapeno cheddar sausage. Other treats include the Deep Fried Cheese Bomb, with a choice of mozzarella, cheddar or pepper jack cheese, and a Fried Babybel Cheese Pop.

Find locations that are open to the public on Facebook. The Rooneys also own Polar Bites, which operates seasonally out of a modified shipping container on 41st Street.

Double D BBQ

A passion for smoking meat and feeding people led Dan Dawdy to start Double D BBQ in 2018, just before he moved from Iowa to South Dakota. He and his wife, Angie, began with catering and a few public events and expanded “to full blown” for the 2022 food truck season. New this year is a 24-foot, “electric green” trailer that has a smoker on the back porch. Dawdy is putting the finishing touches on it and hopes to be operating later this month. Double D’s menu varies depending on the event, but offerings include options like pulled pork, shredded beef brisket, pork baby back ribs, beef ribs, chicken quarters, wings, smoked mac-and-cheese, loaded mac-and-cheese bowls, cheesy potatoes, baked beans and zesty coleslaw. Dawdy makes everything except the potato salad. His barbecue sauces include sweet, raspberry chipotle and bourbon. Double D’s does lots of catering, but Dawdy hopes to have more public outings in the Sioux Falls area this season. Find updates on Facebook, and watch Dawdy’s videos on TikTok.

Esther’s Overboard

Esther and Clint Zoss started Esther’s Overboard last year in July, mostly doing appearances outside of Sioux Falls but are focusing more of their attention this season with pop-ups in the city. This is the likely the only food truck where you’ll find frog legs — and the Zosses sell a lot of them. The other signature item is a lobster roll. It’s a surf-and-turn menu that features things like half-pound ground short rib burgers, a rib-eye steak sandwich, lobster mac-and-cheese, shrimp cocktail and smoked salmon dip with naan. There are a few kid-friendly items like mini corndogs and fries. They each have full-time jobs, so Esther’s Overboard is out mostly on weekends. Find the trailer from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays in the Silver Moon Bar parking lot next to the Falls Park Farmers Market. The Second Saturday Market once a month at 8th & Railroad Center will be another regular spot.

Family Treats Homemade Ice Cream

The homemade ice cream business travels to events and private parties in the area with its trailer and also has contracts for events at the Denny Sanford Premier Center, Sanford Pentagon and Howard Wood Field. Family Treats also has two umbrella carts with freezers that people can rent for gatherings. They can either have full service or scoop the Family Treats ice cream themselves. Carmen and Scott Giles have owned the business since 2018. Family Treats offers seven standard flavors – cookie dough remains the top seller — and one seasonal choice such as espresso, key lime crunch, orange cream, blueberry cheesecake, Pink Panther, Cookie Monster and chocolate caramel brownie.

Fat Guys Burgers & Food

The food truck started last season by Justin Crawford is no longer in business. He posted on social media in April that it was closing permanently because of family issues and that the trailer would be for sale.

Fat Kid Filly’s

Fat Kid Filly’s is entering its sixth season serving Cody Sauers’ award-winning spin on a Philly cheesesteak, but it will be doing mostly private events and a few public appearances until a brand-new trailer is ready later this summer. Sauers also keeps busy running concessions at Huset’s Speedway in Brandon and Jackson MotoPlex in Jackson, Minnesota. The food truck’s menu includes other “Filly” sandwiches with a variety of meats and toppings, smashburgers, grilled brats and fresh-cut fries, including a Filly-topped version. With double fryers coming on the new trailer, he plans to add a bacon and cheddar cheese curd Filly and a jalapeno popper Filly. Last year, Sauers organized a food truck gathering that benefited the homeless and a food-truck-and-treat event for Halloween. Find updates on Facebook and locations on Street Food Finder.

Front Porch Concessions

Brandon and Sherri Bostwick of rural Lennox are back for their third full season as the owners of Front Porch Concessions, which was founded in 2002. Front Porch Concessions has a full schedule of events, including the Renaissance Festival, Sioux Empire Fair and Sidewalk Arts Festival and community festivals for Harrisburg, Tea, Dell Rapids and Lennox.

Geo’s Hamburger Shopp

Update June 20: Current hours are Geo’s Hamburger Shopp are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The owner found a brick-and-mortar location in Okoboji next to The Ritz and someone to operate the food truck here – but only on weekends. Fans of this old-school hamburger and lobster roll truck have only a few more weeks to enjoy the food in Sioux Falls until it reappears after the summer season at Okoboji. Geo’s Hamburger Shopp owner George Hendrickson is set up in the west-side parking lot of 8th & Railroad Center, where he drew crowds last fall. Hendrickson typically posts daily on Facebook, relaying information on hours and the menu. Geo’s typically is open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday and dinner Thursday through Saturday. The beef for the burgers is a new blend this season: chuck, brisket and short rib, which is finely ground, never frozen and hand-pressed into 4-ounce patties – an ounce bigger than last year’s version. They’re deep fried in a tank-style fryer in beef tallow that’s USDA-certified, organic and grass-fed — which “is what makes the magic of this burger,” Hendrickson said. The other draw is Hendrickson’s Connecticut-style lobster roll, which features beurre monte, an emulsified butter sauce. Other menu items include all-beef, kosher Hebrew National hot dogs that are deep fried, Geo’s Tavern Dog, a brisket-stuffed smoked sausage and walking tacos. The trailer will move to Okoboji on Memorial Day weekend and likely will return to Sioux Falls in August after school starts, Hendrickson said.

This year, he’s planning to bring back his sampler platter with two choices of meat – brisket, Mississippi pot roast or pulled smoked chicken – and two sides. The menu, which changes depending on the event, also features hamburgers, jumbo hot dogs, chicken strips, fish-and-chips and cheese curds.

This bright green food taco truck is now a year-round operation. Taqueria la Jarochita moved late last year from a parking lot on West 12th Street, where it had operated since 2021, to outside a former casino at 5004 W. 12th St. Customers order inside the building, which has a dining room, and the food is prepared on the truck and then passed through windows on each side when it’s ready. Owners Emilio and Magnolia Gonzalez and their children serve tacos, burritos, quesadillas, sopes and tortas with choices of asada, pastor, chicken, chorizo, birria, lengua and cabeza. The family is from Veracruz, Mexico, and the recipes are Magnolia’s. Taqueria la Jarochita, or “the girl from Veracruz taco stand,” is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday and noon to 8 p.m. Saturday.

It’s also available for public and private events.

Taqueria Suyapa

Taqueria Suyapa is based in the parking lot of Auto-Net, 46923 271st St. in Tea, and there are tables in the shade for diners. Many of the recipes are from Honduras, the native home of owners Jairo and Suyapa Motino. The menu includes tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, tamales, carne asada and more. The truck also sells desserts like tres leches and cheesecake, along with jars of chimichurri sauce and pickled veggies. Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

This food truck based in Pipestone, Minnesota, makes it to Dell Rapids and Brandon several times in the season. Every other week it’s at Food Truck Mondays at Dells Auto in Dell Rapids and every other Saturday in the Sturdevant’s Auto Value parking lot in Brandon. It serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, walking tacos and nachos. Meat choices include asada, chicken, al pastor, carnitas, chorizo and lengua, or beef tongue, said Homero Hernandez who owns the truck with his wife, Maria Zepeda.

The truck is busy on the weekends with events, festivals and private parties. Find locations on Facebook.

Taste of India

Taste of India will be back for a second season, likely opening in mid-May. Haresh Patel and Akshay Patel, owners of the market India Bazaar on East 10th Street, own A Taste of India. It’s based in the parking lot of Food-N-Fuel at 100 N. Kiwanis Ave. and will be open daily, usually from 11 a.m. until late night. The menu includes samosas, momos, tikka masala, butter chicken, other curries and biryani. There are chicken, lamb and vegetarian options. Taste of India sells several types of naan, traditional drinks like mango lassi and imported Indian soft drinks.

Tasty Treats Ice Cream Truck

Brandy and Jeremy Fink started Tasty Treats in 2020 because they wanted kids – and parents – to enjoy the magic of a traveling ice cream truck. In addition to visiting neighborhoods, they take bookings for private events. Tasty Treats features packaged frozen treats and has a different distributor this season, so new character treats like Spongebob, Sonic and Spiderman will be joining the lineup. Most of the outings are in the evening in Sioux Falls, but the Finks made it to Canton last year and hope to add more towns. Find locations on Facebook and Street Food Finder.

Taverns + Tots

This Midwestern-staple food truck is back for its fourth year with frequent pop-ups at area businesses. Owner Kelsey Cook serves tavern sandwiches with a variety of toppings. The menu also includes the best-selling tavern totchos, Jumbo Nathan’s all-beef hot dogs loaded with tavern meat and cheese, chicken nuggets and battered dill pickle chips. Taverns + Tots also will be back this summer as part of the rotating lineup at Levitt at the Falls concerts. The food truck is available for public and private events and has a booking request form on its website. Find locations on Facebook or Street Food Finder.

Thai Dakota

Meg Brauer, a native of Thailand, is back for her fourth season with Thai Dakota. She serves authentic Thai cuisine, including her signature pad thai, other stir-fry dishes, curries, crab rangoon and spring rolls. She also serves Thai drinks. Occasionally, she’ll come up with a special menu item as a treat. Regular spots for dinner are Mondays at the Canton Dollar General store, Wednesdays in Lennox beginning in June, Thursdays at Ace Hardware in Harrisburg and Fridays at Hy-Vee Dollar Fresh in Tea. On the weekends, usual venues include farmers markets and festivals. Thai Dakota can be booked for public and private events and also does catering. Find locations on Facebook or Street Food Finder.

Valentino’s

The carryout restaurant on Ellis Road just widened its coverage area in Sioux Falls by adding a trailer. “We wanted to spread more Val’s love around the city,” owner Jenny Pals said. The menu includes pizza by the slice, lasagna, salad and more. It will be at a dozen concerts at Levitt at the Falls and plans to pop up around town. The Valentino’s trailer can be booked for public and private events. Find locations on Facebook.

Vanilla Gorilla Frozen Treats

Vanilla Gorilla Frozen Treats started last season as a way to give two of the three kids in the family a flexible summer job that would work around their activities, said Heidi Furth, who owns the business with her husband, Alfred. Vanilla Gorilla features Stensland Family Farms’ ice cream and sorbet. The freezer can hold up to six ice cream flavors, and the cart has room for two dozen toppings. Customers can get one or two scoops of ice cream in a dish, and they pay an additional charge for each topping — although sprinkles are free. The operation can be set up indoors or outside for public and private events. Find locations on Facebook or Street Food Finder.

Wagoo Burger

The brick-and-mortar version of Wagoo Burger moves out of Fernson Downtown after its final day on May 22 and is still looking for a replacement location, so the mobile version will be found more frequently on the streets this summer. Owner Paul Ode envisions serving a couple of days downtown, possibly a couple of days somewhere up on North Cliff Avenue, potentially a day in Brandon — where OdeCo is based — and events on the weekend. Wagoo’s website has a calendar for locations. The food truck menu will be smaller than the restaurant’s, focusing on the best-selling burgers, a chicken sandwich, chicken strips and fries, Ode said. To inquire about bookings for public or private events, email contact@wagooburger.com.

Who Wan’ Smoke

Who Wan’ Smoke is taking over the kitchen of Noid’s Gaming Parlor in Canton later this month, but owner Richard Simpson hopes to keep a presence in Sioux Falls. The Texas native started Who Wan’ Smoke last season, featuring his smoked brisket, ribs and chicken and grilled sausage. This season, he started operating from the same spot as last year — the parking lot of Vape Pen Sales on South Cliff Avenue — but has shifted his business model. He posts on Facebook what he’s making that day — Monday through Saturday — takes orders from customers and then delivers the food, focusing on $10 bowls that typically include smoked meat and mashed potatoes, rice or mac-and-cheese. Simpson said he’s hoping to move his Sioux Falls operation to a lot near 85th and Minnesota and should know soon if that will work out.

Willy’s Fries

This new offering last season from Backyard BBQ features a simple menu of not-so-simple shoestring-style fries. The most popular offerings from Willy’s Fries are Gyro Fries –  seasoned with garlic and Parmesan and topped with lamb gyro meat, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, feta cheese and tzatziki sauce – and Cowboy Fries with pulled pork, jalapenos, shredded cheese and barbecue sauce. The other two loaded versions are Chili Cheese Fries and Poutine with fries, brown gravy, beef brisket, cheese curds and chives. Customers also can order a side of regular fries or sweet potato fries. Willy’s Fries typically is found at festivals, Food Truck Tuesdays at Golf Addiction and Levitt at the Falls concerts and has two Food Truck Friday lunch dates at McCrossan Boys Ranch: June 6 and Aug. 1. It can be booked for private events.

This food truck, which started in 2020 and expanded into a brick-and-mortar location in 2023, is still operating across Sioux Falls. Windy City Bites features favorites from DaShawn and Samantha Lewis’ hometown of Chicago like Chicago-style hot dogs, Polish sausage and Italian beef sandwiches. Frequent spots are Gift & Thrift at 10th and Bahnson, and 49th Street Liquor along Minnesota Avenue, and some of the Food Truck Tuesday nights at Golf Addiction. It’s available for public and private events. Windy City, which is at 114 N. Indiana Ave., also offers catering. Call 605-254-3533 for information. Find locations on Facebook and Street Food Finder. The Lewises also are planning to add a second food truck in mid-June that will specialize in barbecue and side dishes.

Wood Fired Catering

Dallas Reese and his girlfriend, Missy Spilger, had been doing barbecue competitions for almost a decade and then decided to expand that expertise into a business. Their Wood Fired Catering food truck started doing pop-ups and catering last year in the Sioux Falls area. “We’re pretty much booked for the next two months,” Reese said. They use a custom-built hickory wood smoker and a pellet smoker, smoking overnight “because we want everything fresh.” Meat choices include brisket, pulled pork, ribs and chicken, and the menu has expanded to include brisket or pulled pork in tacos or burritos, which include made-from-scratch mac-and-cheese. Mac-and-cheese bowls topped with brisket or pulled pork are popular too. Sides include homemade coleslaw, potato salad and smoked baked beans. Find locations on Facebook or Street Food Finder.

Wood Fired Catering offers ‘more than a pile’ of meat
