Hiring a Food Truck? Avoid The #1 trap That Has Nothing to Do With the Food

Bad food is not the worst thing that can happen at your event. A truck that doesn't show up is. We made a three minute video about the five traps that wreck most food truck bookings. Watch it before you hire anyone. Including us.

Our Story

Meet the Guys behind the Fries

You deserve an event your guests actually remember. Not just the food. The whole feeling. The kind where someone walks up to you mid-bite and says, "who did you get for this?"

That's exactly what we built the truck to do.

We're Brandon and James Littleton, two brothers from Nashville. In 2020, we tried to open a restaurant. The bank said no. COVID hit. So we emptied every couch cushion, every piggy bank, and bought a food truck instead.

Day 1: one order. From our mom.
Day 2: two orders. From our mom and dad.
Day 4: a stranger pulled up. That was it.

The fries came first. Hand-cut, never frozen, salted right out of the fryer. Nashville voted them #1. We've never changed the recipe. Five years later, everything else on the menu (the loaded fries, the tenders, the wings) is built around that same commitment: do it right, every single time.

482+ catering events. Zero no-shows. A brick-and-mortar in the Buchanan Arts District. And the same brothers who started this are still running the fryer.

That's the truck pulling up to your event.

Straight Talk

Not Every Event Is a Fit. That's a Good Thing.

We're a Fit If:
  • ✓ You've got 50+ guests and a real date in mind
  • ✓ You need food that people actually remember
  • ✓ You want a team that communicates like adults
  • ✓ Your budget is $1,500+ and you value execution
Probably Not a Fit If:
  • ✗ You need full seated, plated fine dining
  • ✗ You're under 50 guests (we'll refer you elsewhere)
  • ✗ You need us to compete on price the cheapest food truck wins
  • ✗ You want radio silence from booking to arrival
If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you. We'll also point you to someone who is. That's the deal.

"This review is for their Food Truck. Bag Lady's Fry Joint helped host our Family Work Event Saturday. They arrived on time and their customer service was outstanding. So friendly and set up quickly. Everyone raved how amazing their food was. Fries, hot dogs, wraps, and hamburgers. We cannot wait to book them for future events. If you are looking for a great American Food Truck, book Bag Lady's Fry Joint. You will not be disappointed!"

"A group of 20+ folx and I stopped by today for a belated birthday celebration and had a blast. We got our food quickly as we could all order at the counter and have it brought to us. The brisket and funnel cake fries were a big hit, as was the Fye Fye sauce. I'll definitely be back. The staff was lovely and very attentive."

"Just wow. Bag Lady's blew me away. The burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor. Easily one of the best I've had in a long time. The brisket fries were next level. Crispy, savory, and totally addictive. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. You can tell they care about the experience as much as the food."

"The food is outstanding and only topped by the service. Faith, the cashier at the front, was so helpful and attentive through our whole visit. The bartender was customer focused and the kitchen staff were so quick and consistent. The dining room was also very clean. Truly a great experience."

FAQ

The real questions. The real answers.

No fluff. No salesy back-and-forth. The stuff every smart planner asks before they book a truck.

Get a Real Number →
01   What does the booking process actually look like, start to finish?

Fill out the application on this page and tell us about your event. We review it and reach out within one business day to set up a short call. On the call we confirm your details, walk through the menu options, and give you a real number. If it is a fit, you get a contract, a deposit invoice, and one direct contact who stays with your event from there. No handoffs, no automated emails, no wondering if anyone actually got your message.

02   What does it cost? Just tell us.

Most events start around $18 per person with a 50-person minimum. The total depends on your guest count, service hours, and any add-ons. We share a full price breakdown on your discovery call. No mystery invoices.

03   Can y'all handle dietary stuff?

Yes. Every menu includes vegetarian options. We have gluten-free and vegan builds, and we take allergy flags seriously. Just tell us what you're working with during the application and we'll make sure everyone eats well.

04   Where in Nashville do you go?

All of Nashville and the surrounding areas. Midtown, Brentwood, Franklin, all over. If you're further out, fill out the form anyway. Tell us where. We'll see what we can make work.

05   How early do I actually need to book this?

Honest answer: 4 to 6 weeks is the sweet spot. We've saved events with 72-hour notice and we'd do it again. But your date selection and menu options are way better when you're not in crisis mode. Earlier is always easier.

06   What happens if something goes wrong day-of?

In 6 years of events we have never been a no-show. Not once. But if something truly catastrophic happened, we have a backup network and a refund policy that doesn't make you cry. We back every booking with our 100% Worry Free Guarantee.

07   What exactly is the 100% Worry Free Guarantee?

Three promises in writing on every booking. One: we show up on time, arrival time in the contract. Two: we hit the all-in price we quoted, period. No fuel surcharges, no service fees, no "oh by the way" line items on the invoice. Three: if something catastrophic happens on our end, you get a full refund, no questions asked. Five years. 482 events. Zero claims. We intend to keep it that way.

Your event deserves food people actually remember.

Three minutes. A real person reads every application. Same day response. The kind of stuff most food trucks can't promise. We can. We do.
