Gandolfo’s

Was hoping for a really great NY style Reuben from this food truck at Klyde Warren Park downtown (visiting the fam) but was disappointed. The classic reuben I ordered had almost no flavor, like the corned beef had been sitting in water all day. For the price I paid, it should have been much tastier. I’ve had better reubens at Denny’s. On the bright side, the pickle was awesome!

Gandolfo’s did lunch at my office in far northern Plano today, and after passing by some of my co-​workers’ desks, I decided I had to have some of this action.
After a fairly brief line, I placed my order for a bag of sea salt and vinegar chips and a Taxi Driver sandwich, featuring pastrami, swiss, grilled onion and sliced jalapeño, on grilled sourdough with spicy mustard. If there was a knock on the sandwich, I would have like a little «stronger» flavored pastrami, but it was really good, so maybe I’m picking nits. Thin sliced, almost shaved, it was tender and just the right amount of salty. The swiss cheese was nicely melted, and the onions were grilled but not browned, which is better for the flavor profile here. The jalapenos were fresh, not pickled, which also made for a nice flavor. Maybe even best of all, the sourdough was grilled perfectly, not too greasy, and had a delicate crisp to it as well as a nice sourdough «tang».
A very nice sandwich! Give this place a try if they stop in your area.

Food was amazing!!! My son had the chili cheese hot dog and I had the reuben. It was all perfect and we look forward to eating their food in the future. We definitely give it a two thumbs up.

Great classics such as Ruebens, Hot Pastrami, Hot Dogs and healthy options like the Wheat Hampton. No Real Veggie options, except potato salad and chips. Very good though

Weather was beautiful today so I decided to take a walk to Klyde Warren and see what the daily food truck offerings were like. Made the walk up and down the row of eight food trucks and found myself coming back to Gandolfo’s enticed by a chili dog. I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to a chili dog. Bun should be soft and not overwhelming, hot dog needs to be nice and plump and chili should be the main focus. While the offering from Gandolfo’s wasn’t life changing, it did meet all the qualifications I was looking for. They usual come with onions and mustard which both rank in my top ten as far as least favorite food items so I 86ed them and added cheese. Got it as a combo with chips and a soda for under $ 10.

Only made one of the sandwiches and then question us as if we were trying to steal a sandwich! After they reviewed the receipt they agreed to make the second sandwich.
Then it was wrong! I said just forget it… he said «I already have». What a jerk. 25 min for a sandwich isn’t with it. The attitude just a bonus.
Ps. One employee found us in the park and refunded one of the sandwiches. One.

Godzilla!!!
Had Gandolfos today at Klyde Warren. The Godzilla was awesome. Pepper jack cheese, Jalapeño and srirachi sauce. Points for them using fresh cut Jalapeño and not canned like most sandwich places. Not for the weak at heart, as you coukd imagine this sandwich has some fire!
Would like a better selection of chips, and the potatoe salad was ehhh. But the sandwich was what I was really after, so I’ll be back for sure. Would love to try some of their pastrami sandwiches.

OMG!#GOODGODIMFULL #JESUSISABUSQUIT!!! That was so good I don’t have room for the chips! I only had Ruben with reg mustard and sauerkraut! Had to add more mustard but omg! Can I say deeelish??! It was really good!

Out of all the trucks at Klyde Warren Park, this one steals the show. Last Sunday I visited the truck with family from New Jersey and we instantly connected with the young man working the window. Real funny guy. He was very knowledgable about food in general and gladly answered all the questions being Thrown his way. He promised me that he and his buddy Juan would «hook us up». These guys made the best corn beef on rye I’d ever eaten. If you miss true deli sandwiches, definitely try Gandolfo’s. The staff is friendly and the guy running the window was gracious enough to pose for a picture with my family. Only in Texas. I definitely recommend this food truck and will return next time I travel through Dallas

Great job evweyone got a sandwhich and chili dog, it was great but if u dont want mustard and onions u need ro say it

The Gandolfos food truck out by work today, ordered the I love NY and a Dr. Pepper, yes we
In Texas. Regular sandwich sized bread, marbled rye, Russian dressing, taste was good, nothing out of this world but different for me (it was SUPER HOT) burned my mouth, but 18.00 bucks really? We are in Texas, not NYl, this is a once in a lifetime try, and unfortunately the price
Ruined the moment. And yes lime other reviews, they do take some time to make your sandwich.

I made my first visit to Klyde Warren Park with my buddy Dan today, and picked Gandolfo’s as my mobile food provider.
They made a solid sandwich (I asked for a recommendation, and they suggested the I Love NY), with about a good pile of corned beef and pastrami, sauerkraut, and spicy mustard on grilled marbled rye. I also opted for the pickle and a bottle of water.
The bill came to $ 15 and change, about 50% more (all things considered) than what I’d pay at Deli News (who includes a side with the sammie), which I consider to be the best deli in Dallas.
If Gandolfo’s can get people to pay at this price point and survive, more power to them. Dollar for dollar, I’ll opt for another food truck choice next time.

Review for the food truck:
So many sandwich options on the menu, it’s overwhelming. But let’s be honest… more than $ 10 for a sandwich? No matter how BIG the sandwich is, it better be the best sandwich I’ve ever eaten in my life to cost over $ 10.
Fortunately they have a few hot dog options on their menu as well, which are more reasonably priced at around $ 6. I got the reuben dog and it was tasty. Really piled high with ingredients. Piled so high that it’s extremely difficult to get everything in your mouth in one bite. So you kind of have to bite the hot dog then shovel the reuben stuff in with a fork immediately after to get the full effect. Semi-​awkward hot dog eating experience, but yummy enough to make it ok.
Took around 10 minutes to get 2 hot dogs. Not exactly fast food. Not sure I’d try them again.

This review is for the FOOD TRUCK at Klyde Warren Park.
If you want a speedy sandwich, this is the place to go. They have maybe 20 or so sandwiches, which some you can get cold or warm. Even though the menu is quite large, they do a good job breaking it up into meat categories (e.g. turkey, pastrami, veggie, etc.)
I got the Manhattan Wheat, which was recommended by the guy taking my order. Surprisingly quick, it came out within 2 minutes! There are plenty of outdoor tables and seating at Klyde Warren, so I popped into a seat and dug into my sandwich. The pros: the wheat sandwich bread tasted fresh and they gave you a lot of turkey meat. The cons: the sandwich as a whole was pretty basic and there wasn’t much pizzazz in the taste or construction.
Summary: if you want a quick, speedy sandwich for lunch — this is a great, convenient place to go.

(FOOD TRUCK) So tried the pastrami dog, potatoe salad, and the black and white cookie. Let’s get to the meat…
The pastrami on the hot dog was so good I wish I would’ve gotten a sandwich. Hot dog was a Nathan hot dog and they have good dogs. Combined together, it was an okay hot dog. for me.
Potatoe salad — was a crunchy mess. I am not a fan. It needed salt, barely had bacon, and it was just ugh… not my favorite. I’m a yellow Potatoe salad kind of girl anyway, so I probably should have just stayed away in the first place.
The white and black cookie — why the F@*# is it called a cookie? It’s a flat dry a** twinky with a sweet mediocre half chocolate and white icing. It was… blah. not a fan.
But back to the meat… I really loved the pastrami. It was so good, I really went back and got a sandwich. Prices for full sandwiches are $ 11.00, half sandwiches are $ 6.00, and the hot dogs are 6 as well. #TryItYaSelf

Kylde Warren’s Wednesday truck crowd was pretty thin crowd so I thought I would give Gandolfo’s a shot.
Pretty extensive menu from a sandwich perspective, I really liked the pastrami and corned beef options, makes for a little bit more unique sandwich place. I opted for the Brooklyn Bridge which was essentially a BLT with Turkey.
Bread was decently soft but the sandwich itself was just kinda meh, sloppily slapped together. Tasted like cheap turkey meat to me.
My co-​workers ordered the godzilla and godfather and they didn’t look too bad but they were not impressed either.
Honestly, maybe ok for a quick lunch sandwich but even then I wouldn’t go that far. It was about $ 10 for a 6inch sub /​combo-​esque and nothing special. I

I was underwhelmed.
My Rockefeller Rueben was good, not great. The bread was fine, even though it was a little burnt. The fillings were fine, even though they were neither overflowing in flavor or volume. The spicy mustard wasn’t, but it also wasn’t terrible,
The service was fine, but not overly helpful. I asked for a pickle not realizing (or being told) that the sandwich came with one.
If it was a $ 4 sandwich, I’d consider it a 4 star, but not when it’s $ 10+ just for the sandwich.

With Dallas having such a cool to mild Spring this year, the food trucks at Klyde Warren Park have been incredibly appealing. Even on your average Tuesday, the lines for all the food trucks were long. My co-​workers and I decided on Gandolfo’s since their sandwiches sounded good.
To start, their menu is huge. Like Cheesecake Factory novel huge. And I’m sorry to say that’s not a compliment. It’s just a bit too much to take in. The line at Klyde Warren Park was incredibly long and it certainly didn’t help that the lady in front of us was a hot-​mess-​Plano-​housewife ordering for three people with extremely specific instructions. Geeeez lady! Once I got around to ordering, the wait for food was reasonable and the cashier was very friendly. We waited about 10 minutes to order but the line had doubled by the time we were through.
I had the hot Big Apple sandwich and the 6-​inch size along with chips were the right sized meal for me. Lots of people were ordering 12-​inch sandwiches but it sounded daunting. The sandwich was good, but it could have used a bit more feta cheese to spice it up. In the end the sandwich was good but not superb. I’d be happy return, I just hope the line is less chaotic next time.

I was very excited to eat lunch outside at Klyde Warren Park in the beautiful sunshine. Five of us decided to grab a sandwich at Gandolfo’s Food Truck. Unfortunately, we were all a little let down. We all agreed that the buns left much to be desired. It fell apart while we were eating.
I understand we got food from a truck so it’s not meant to be gourmet, but all of our sandwiches were put together so sloppily that they were more than difficult to eat. And all of the seasoning seemed to be applied down the crease while the bun was open so we either got a bite with no seasoning, or a bite so salty that it was difficult to swallow. This was five people, five different sandwiches, all with the same problem.
The line was so long that we waited approx. 25 minutes just to place our order and then another 10 – 15 minutes for the sandwiches to be ready. With that kind of wait, one would think that they would put more care in to building the sandwiches.
On a positive note, the two of us who opted for the big pickle absolutely loved them.
In the future, I think I will take a sack lunch to the park instead.

Outside of trips to Portland and Santa Monica, I’m relatively new to this Food Truck scene, but when I discovered Klyde Warren Park and the glory that is it’s food truck selection, I had to dive head-​first into one of my all-​time favorite cuisines — deli subs.
Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere?
One of the toughest parts of running a food truck has to be the service aspect. You’ve literally got to bring your A-​game all day every day considering you can’t provide a place for anyone to sit, but Gandolfo’s absolutely nails it with their Dallas crew. Super nice guys who are happy to accomodate and have your sandwich out in a flash. Really, really nice and genuine people. Star Granted.
Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?
A good, non-​chain deli sub is an investment without a doubt, but luckily I knew this going in, so I was more than happy to fork over $ 7.29 for a half portion of the «Big Apple» with extra meat. While it doesn’t look huge in the picture, this was a meal and a half, and I can’t even begin to imagine what a full-​size would have looked like:
Star Granted.
Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?
Gandolfo’s can dish up a brilliant sub, but my one gripe is that consistency can be a tad bit hit or miss. I’ve had subs at Gandolfo’s that are easily among the best I’ve ever had, and I’ve had subs that have had me regretting my decision. First and foremost, you’re looking at some really quality bread here, which is obviously one of the catalysts of any good sammie yeah? So the bread is solid, but it’s in the meat selection that I’ve found a mixed bag. At times you get really amazing lean cuts of meat, but other times I’ve had a real dripper of a sandwich that really threw off the whole thing. Either way, there are amazing toppings of shredded lettuce and banana peppers, and a great mishmash of sauces that bring the whole thing together. Dual Stars Granted.
Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?
The product is great, but the consistency often has me deciding between Gandolfo’s and nearby Uncle Ubers:
. That being the case, I can’t say I would come here daily. No Star Granted.
