Real food at reasonable prices. If you're like me, you get tired of cooking day after day, trying to be as healthy as you can. Then when you go out, stuff is either cheap and full of sugar and salt or quality but with a price to match. These guys are a happy medium, a square meal AND a good value. I will say the roasted veggies were too salty in spots but the meat and potatoes were perfect so they paired well all together. We all liked some part of the meal very much so we'll try again and get more or different things next time. Thanks for the real food.

I know it's Covid season & restaurants are struggling but there is no excuse for selling spoiled food. We received our order and as soon as I tasted the potatoes I was put off immediately by the rotten over seasoned super salty taste. It was disgusting. I was most excited for the "kickass" kale salad but even that had that sour spoiled taste & smell. It was super watery , not fresh and even my fiancé had to spit it out in the trash. The roasted veggies were slightly going bad as well but not as bad as the potatoes or kale salad. The chicken was okay but also heavily seasoned. But we were already so put off by everything so we didn't eat the chicken. The rotisserie we get at FoodMax is way, wayyy better. I ended up cooking anyway and we trashed this whole dinner. Yuck. Lesson learned.

Their food truck was parked at our work. Tried the ribs. The menu said $13 but was charged almost $20 for 5 ribs and half veggies and half potatoes. Felt ripped off immediately. Menu prices are a lie.Flavor was mediocre at best on the ribs. Potatoes and veggies were almost cold and everything was over seasoned.Yelp cautioned me that restaurants are doing their best because of covid-19 and to be considerate before I gave my review. With all things considered restaurants or food trucks associated with restaurants shouldn't take advantage of covid-19 to offer substandard food at high prices.Plus the cook/server/cashier was smoking a cigarette near the food after I went back for more napkins.The whole express a complete disappointment.Never buy food from a food truck with a giant dead chicken on top.

While visiting Spark Social Food Truck park in SF. Saw that Roadside Rotisserie had their truck their and was like before I go I have to try soms of their chicken. So on round 2 of finding good things to eat. Decided to grab a half chicken with potatoes and veggies.Man not gonna lie the Chicken was bomb.com Tender , seasoned very well with crunch chicken skin that was amazing. Meat was juicy and not dry as white meat easily could be dry. So was happy about that. The only thing that stopped this from being 5 out of 5. The Veggies weren't seasoned very well outside of that. The potatoes were smakin and the chicken was bomb. Definitely would recommend them to all my friends

Wow, great food! Chicken was fantastic, good price and amazing quality. The broccoli was fantastic too. The guy that runs the cart is super nice if you chat with him. We enjoyed his presence and he takes the food seriously. All the best things!

At Kensington FM, got the ribs--they were tasty, while not being anything like bbq ribs. The green hot sauce (tomatillo salsa from a jar?) was good with them but since there's no place to eat right there at present, was sad to find that it had simply been put in the cardboard tray the ribs came in. Not sealed or anything. Was all over the inside of the bag, the table at home when we unknowingly pulled the tray out, etc. Would it be so horrible for the money to have some little salsa containers?And why is the guy such a god-awful grump?

This chicken is incredible!!! Best rotisserie chicken I've ever had. The Brussel sprouts and potatoes were also excellent. We can't wait to go back and try other things on the menu. Highly recommend!

We order pork loin with roasted potatoes. A cold chicken wrap full of kale, cucumbers, and tahini sauce. Lastly, we got a small side of roasted brussel sprouts. Everything was OK. Pork loin was a little dry. The wrap was 90% kale. Potatoes and sprouts were OK. We wanted ribs, but they weren't ready at 11:50 am. So maybe try after noon.

I ordered the half chicken and a side order of the Brussels sprouts. The chicken was spiced nicely but had almost no salt. It was also fairly dry, probably due to the fact that it most likely had been on a rotating heat for a couple hours. The Brussels sprouts were not salted at ALL. They're supposed to be roasted, but they weren't fully cooked. Well-roasted Brussels sprouts should be crispy on the outside and soft and have a sweet, nutty flavor on the inside. But they were not well-roasted nor were they seasoned. They should offer a sauce to pair it with if they're not going to do either of those. I'm not going to be too harsh with my review of them though, because I can probably count on one hand the amount of restaurants that can do Brussels sprouts right.

The ribs, pork loin, and herb potatoes were all good. The meats were super moist and tender and the potatoes were seasoned perfectly.
I miss your chicken hella bad. Hope you're doing well in this crazy time and I'm looking forward to seeing your huge chicken truck again whenever it is.

I've gotten Roadside Rotisserie twice, once at the Embarcadero farmer's market and once at an outdoor event and it's been amazing both times! I'm a huge fan of rotisserie chicken and this is the best I've had. I should mention though that I haven't eaten that much rotisserie chicken from different places - just from grocery stores and from a couple restaurants. I do think that the meals are a bit overpriced but I still think it's worth it and would choose Roadside Rotisserie over other vendors at a given venue!

Potatoes! I love rotisserie chicken potatoes. I did not need the roti chicken today because it seemed overpriced and drier than Roli Roti. The potatoes were $2 for a pretty big serving(small) and he said that would be enough. I would fork $2 for the potatoes! I love potatoes and I try to make roti potatoes at home too sometimes. This was fun at Union Square around the holidays. They said the truck is temporary here. The line was medium long. Interesting roti food truck.

Strolling through the Larkspur Farmer's Market, I caught the delicious smell of roasting meats. The rotisserie meats look delicious and the drippings fall on potatoes and brussel sprouts. I had to pick up a half chicken and a side of brussel sprouts. The kind man served me up and bagged it well in a foil lined carry out. Yum! A quick reheat and it's actually two meals for me! Tender moist chicken with the brussel savory from the roasted dripp'ns!They also serve up pork ribs, pork loin, and turkey thighs. You can find them in your hood by the following link:

It smells better than how it tastesGiving it three starts because I think the truck in the ferry building does it better. Half bird Honestly I would not recommend it although it looks and smells super good. However, when you get into the meat, it's really dry and kind of flavorless. The juices from the skin and the flavor from the seasoning did not soak into the chicken. Baby back ribs This is much better than the bird in my opinion although i don't think this is the best selling item on the menu. Half potatoes and half Brussels sproutsBoth are pretty good! It's just some pieces can be a bit too salty there happen to be a large chunk of salt on those pieces.
