I miss this place so much! There’s nowhere else to get a kickass roast beef sandwich.

This business has relocated to SW 10th & Washington — as noted above and on their Facebook page — but they haven’t updated their website for some reason. If you find yourself out this way, do give them a try. Their sandwiches are good, as are their chips.

As for the rest, some of the carts are better about their hours than others (see Nuevo Mexico for a lot of comments from thwarted-and-irked potential customers). But this can be an issue for any restaurant. Some will close with no notice if there isn’t enough business on some given day or evening. And it shouldn’t be too surprising that a bunch of food carts were closed over a holiday weekend. It’s not an issue with respect to truth in advertising, which applies to goods or services received in exchange for tender. It’s a question of whether fairly small operations have the time, savvy and desire to sufficiently broadcast their plans and to consistently execute. Maybe they aren’t all achievers, but that’s just like…your opinion, man.

Y’know, one of the things I’m not really all that impressed with in this whole food cart phenomenon is that professionalism doesn’t always seem to go hand in hand with the operation of these businesses. I headed over to Dreamer’s Marketplace today (Sunday) at 1:00 with the idea of getting a sandwich from Wet Hot Beef. I checked their hours on their website beforehand. When I got there, Wet Hot Beef didn’t even appear to exist. And not one of the other carts was open. Several of them listed Sunday hours, and yet there they stood, shuttered and presumably empty. So I came back home, checked the DM website and facebook page, as well as those of all the carts that were supposed to have been open, and only one, Pepper Box, made any mention of not being open during their normal hours. Many of these places don’t list phone numbers, so you can’t even call ahead. I’m a bit of a stickler for truth in advertising. If you want my business, be open when you advertise that you’ll be open, or at the very least, post otherwise on your website or facebook page. Totally sub-par.

I went there today and was disappointed. I thought I was getting a hot beef sandwich, at least a spicy one!

The beef was good and tender although, not so flavorful. Like it was cooked with no seasoning at all.

The bun was very good and the dill weed sauce was yummy. It saved the sandwich.

Not impressed and even less so by the prices and then to be handed a menu with the sandwich with a coupon for free chips on a return visit…would have scored more points with me if Shane had redeemed the coupon at the time as I will not be back.

Sensational. Best roast beef sandwich I’ve had in years, and I’m hard to please – I don’t post because if you can’t say something nice … However, this place is highly recommended.

I don’t get the fuss…it was stringy and not very flavorful, and it was too expensive.

Also, the soda was terrible.

I would not go back.

Had the dressed for lunch today. Wonderful! Chips and sodas are great too. I will definitely be back.

I have eaten at this cart twice and think it’s great. the meat is lean and tastes wonderful. the chips are always good–check out the lavender.

Being an oysterman I need to satisfy my beef craving and Shanes creations hit the spot. His fresh ingredients, receipe and presentation was a hit with my two daughters as well, although I couldn’t tell if they were smiling because of the sandwhich or Shane.
A must stop.

If I were a picky sort of person, I’d say that the wrapper was difficult to get off of the sandwich. This would be my only complaint about this cart. I’d been dying for a french dip for ages, and this hit all the right spots. I’d only recommend you go to this cart if you love beef, cheese, and the world’s best potato chips.
