A1 Smash Midtown — Restaurant in Detroit

Stopped here on whim looking to try and new place and I was not disappointed.

The food truck is parked in the shopping center of the grocery store and the far end. When I got there there was no line which was nice. The customer service was great. The man at the window was super helpful. My only complaint was you use a kiosk to order your food, which is fine but on a really sunny day it’s hard to see the screen.

The food itself was very good. Bonus points for being halal meat. The pattys has a nice bark on them and were both dry which was nice. The bun nicely toasted, and you get a great potion of fries on the side. The curly fries most likely came from a bag but they were cooked great and tasted on par with Arby’s curly fries. My food came out in less than ten minutes which was perfect. My only complaint was it was messy, but that’s not an actual complaint. I would come back and order again.

Condiments were offered on the side which was a nice touch. The chipotle sauce on my burger was great. I wish I had some of that on the side. I ordered the inferno burger and it was spicy, but not too spicy (if you actually enjoy heat). I appreciate the amount of pickled jalapeños...

This was my very first time trying this food truck, and unfortunately, it turned into one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with food. I ordered a steak bowl, and right away I noticed something seemed off with the meat. The taste and smell weren’t quite right, but I pushed through a few bites before deciding to stop because I was almost certain the steak had gone bad.

Not long after, while I was back at work, I developed a sharp stomach ache that kept getting worse. By the time I got home, I was violently sick and began vomiting nonstop. It became so severe that I had to go to the hospital, where I remained until 4 a.m. The doctors confirmed it was food-related.

I have never experienced something like this in my life, and it’s deeply concerning that spoiled food was being served. Food safety should be a top priority, especially for a business serving customers directly from a food truck. I truly hope they take this seriously, because serving meat that has gone bad can have dangerous...
