Not only is the service amazing, but the wraps are my absolute favorite! So kid friendly with the best salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers/dogs, fries, and cookies. My husband gets the most amazing baked salami sandwich too. We drive from the burbs regularly to dine here and never regret it! More

We just had the little Louie’s food truck for my daughter’s first communion party. Everything was fantastic. Pete was really easy to work with, food truck arrived on time and staff prepared the meals quickly so there weren’t long wait times for our guests. We will definitely be booking again for future parties.

We have had 3 graduation parties 3 years in a row with Little Louie’s food truck. The food was exceptional. I can’t say enough great things about the staff. It was so much fun to order and get the food in front of the house. We set up highboy tables in driveway so our guests could go back for more -it’s all you can eat. I recommend this food truck for any party!

Used Little Louie's for a Memorial Day/Graduation party. Food was excellent and Pete was wonderful to work with. He was attentive and assured the quality and quantity of food was perfect. He even called to assure we knew about the parade and the best way to access the restaurant. The day was wonderful and Pete helped make sure that happened!! Highly recommend!!

We have had the Little Louie’s food truck 2 years in a row for our 4th of July party and I truly believe it is what makes the party. The food is so fresh, it is like being at the restaurant. Pete makes the booking process very easy. Jose and his crew on the truck are amazing! They helped clean up the food and made sure everyone was happy. We love this tradition and can’t wait for next year!

We had the Louie B. Fresh food truck serve the late night snack at our wedding and boy did they deliver. Service was quick, food was delicious and our guests were beyond excited to grab a hot dog, fries, mozzarella sticks, or chicken tenders. Pete and the whole crew were a pleasure to work with! 11/10 would recommend! More
