5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Food Truck Catering for the Holidays
Why not leave the cooking to someone else? With food truck catering from BETTER, your holiday party can be even more fun with a lot less stress.
BETTER.
The Best Food
On the Island
Because what brings people together more than food? Nothing we can think of, tbh. At BETTER, we’ve handcrafted a menu full of specialty eats on the streets, using locally sourced ingredients to add to that fresh flavor.
About BETTER.
The idea that we were going to sell freshly made foods and homemade items was the vision that we started our food truck adventure with.
Eliminating processed foods and eating fresh seasonal items was prompted by a desire to eat Better. in our home.
After a number of health issues affected our family, a more proactive approach to healthy eating was necessary. We wanted to feel Better. Look Better. so, the first step was to eat Better. Guess what?!? It worked!!!
Caity says that Better. is home. The food she grew up eating.
Armed with an amazingly extensive knowledge of flavor and an abundance of talent for creating all types of food we challenged ourselves to find alternatives for all the processed food available to us.
The sprouts.
There was no menu until about 48 hours before we opened. That was the first chance we had to shop for our truck and the first menu was born. Armed with a TON of food and a beautiful chef kitchen that we had built from the ground up Chef Justin started creating the Better. Menu.
Family dinners are a routine in our home and even through all the construction and prep for Better. our first family dinner in the truck was the birth of the deep-fried Brussel sprouts. Our “sprouts” were an accident of sorts. We were tired, and needed something delicious, quick and different. It also happens to be the day we turned on the fryer for the first time.
In an act of “let’s see what this will do…” sprouts were dropped into the deep fryer. A little sauce to enhance the flavor and the deep-fried Brussels sprout is born.
A Few BETTER Menu Favs
The menu changes daily so you never know what the next days menu has in store – it’s a lot like knowing a new surprise awaits you daily.
Our menus may change frequently based upon ingredient availability from our local vendors, but will always pleasantly surpass your expectations!
100% Fresh, Seasonal and Chef prepared…Because it tastes BETTER.

Great food!!! Schnitzel was amazing!! Brussel sprouts and crab cake were really good too!! You won’t be disappointed! Jennifer Orth-Cromer
3/28/2021 Excellent chicken sandwiches. I like the spicy Memphis Dana Warfield Dillon
3/08/2021 The schnitzel was absolutely delicious and I followed the owner’s advice to have it on the bed of lettuce and squeeze the fresh lemon wedges on it. The flavor truly popped! The clam chowder was equally delicious and was loaded with clams! Our first time at Better and we will definitely be back. Vicki Mabe Reeves
3/06/2021 When in Chincoteague, I always stop at Better and order my favorite menu item: Shrimp & Grits. They have a variety of choices on their menu. The food is fresh and large portions. Suzanne D'Ambrose
8/21/2020 Best food on the island for sure! Everything I’ve had has been amazing but my absolute favorite is the caprese salad! Chef Justin is able to cater to all diet restrictions and taste! Amanda Farrow
8/01/2020 Absolutely amazing fresh food. The chowder was full of clams and it was to die for ?. The turkey sandwich, which was fabulous?, came with a delicious salad. The staff was super friendly. 11/10 in my books. Can’t wait to come back to try the Shrimp N Grits for dinner ?. Janice Miller
8/01/2020 Excellent food. I stopped by twice this weekend and it's now a go to place for me. Great pork schnitzel and some of the best brussel sprouts. Joe Cogliano
7/19/2020 Had The Caprese Sandwich! Very good. Amazing bread. Fast service. All around excellence! Couldn’t have asked for a BETTER experience!!! Tiffany Amber Cook
7/05/2020 Fresh ingredients, clean atmosphere, and delicious food! Complemented by kind and courteous staff. Can't really ask for more! Cryssi Jeffries
7/04/2020 - Stopped for the Build Your Own Cookie food truck, but checked out the menu at Better first and we are glad we did! Justin's favorite clam chowder was delicious, of course I had to confirm it was Justin's favorite before ordering ?. The Brussel spouts were to DIE FOR! WARNING: they feed 2-4 people in my opinion. My husband got the Better burger and loved every bite. The potato rocket was like a yummy crispy kettle chip on a stick with a delicious dipping sauce. Mmmmmm they need to change their name from Better to Best!

4/26/2020 Been several times. Never disappointed. Glad to see them opening up for another season. Karl Haugh
3/20/2020 Ordered a catered lunch for workers at our project site in Princess Anne,MD and the experience, taste, and overall feeling put forward by BETTER was just amazing. Justin was on time with the food and even brought us utensils, plates, and drinks to go along with the lunch. Food was absolutely phenomenal, especially the beans, and everything came in huge portion sizes. We had so much food left over, and yet everyone was stuffed. Great food, great prices, and most importantly great people to do business with. From our experience, American Contracting & Environmental Services, recommend this business for anyone looking for flavorful food. Moses Joy

8/11/2019 the crab cakes... the schnitzel... amazing food! and cool people. Chris Maloney
8/10/2019 Incredible food, fresh and creative menu, and the owner is welcoming and friendly. It was the best food that we had on the Island the whole week we were there! We went back twice, and recommended it to all of our family and friends that were vacationing with us. I am now a converted brussel sprout fan?
My only suggestion is signage that describes what kind of menu you serve...we very nearly passed right by, and we really would have missed out! Hope to see you next year! Nicole Kirch ODonnell
8/05/2019 Excellent food and service! Don’t miss it! Ruthann Elvey Mason

7/31/2019 Amazing food, great portions, and excellent prices. So happy to see a food truck with eco-friendly aspects, too. The owner is super friendly and there are tables with umbrellas if you choose to eat there. Highly recommended a must try if you’re on Chincoteague island! Gina Santulli-Becker

7/19/2019 A family of 7, we just had a delicious dinner from Better. Everyone found something they liked from the menu, and each item was fresh and delicious, prepared with quality ingredients and attention to detail. We had the crab cake, burger, Cobb salad, steak sandwich (2), and schnitzel (2), along with Brussels and potatoes. Sides were large enough to share, and the burger and an order of the schnitzel were large enough to split for the kids. Very impressed and will definitely be back! Laura Rockwell
7/17/2019 Amazing food and reasonable prices Shaleen Manoil Anderson
7/17/2019 Good stuff! Everything I have had here has been great. Michael Williamson
7/15/2019 I’ve eaten here several times and each time it just gets better (see what I did there?). Seriously though..:this is five star quality restaurant food at a food truck. Treat yourself to the lobster when they have it on the menu it is absolutely delicious. The bow tie pasta with chicken is very good and the steak sandwich is perfectly seasoned. Now to discuss the staff...outstanding in every way. Billy Cummings
7/14/2019 - Homegrown, vegan food: you don't often find it so delicious! The staff is really kind and will give you vegetarian and vegan choices!
Alina Fiehn
7/14/2019 Better. is absolutely delicious and Chef Justin makes the experience all that much more awesome. The Brussels sprouts are as delicious as they look and the crab cake sandwich really hits the spot! I can't recommend this place enough. Great food and awesome service! Lissy Seligman
7/12/2019 Thank you for roasting your own real turkey.
I stopped in to be sure what I heard was true, and you reassured me that and you were even in the process of roasting another turkey when I was there. I choose not to eat over processed lunch meat turkey.
The Roasted Turkey Sandwich was moist, flavorful and super duper delicious. I now have a new favorite sandwich! I paired it with a Veggie Bow Tie Pasta. I was going to save for later, but I’ll admit I did not.
Thank you for your views on making fresh and good for you food. Sue Moore Steward

5/31/2019 Dropped by ‘Better’ today for the first time. Thank you Justin and Colton for the delicious Chicken and Strawberry Salad — and we loved the burger on brioche (with the fresh bright toppings), too! Justin changes up the menu (weekly I think), with a focus on offering fresh seasonal produce. Liked the kind personal touch of this family-run business. Picnic tables with umbrella covered seating available, if you decide to eat outdoors. We’ll be back tomorrow, to pick up lunch on our way to the beach. A great addition to the food choices on Chincoteague. Thanks again! Barb Brandt
5/31/2019 We went for dinner and everything was outstanding. I recommend the Brussel sprouts highly! I will definately be back again Vivian Daisey

the Strawberry Chicken Salad for Hubs to take to lunch tomorrow. Unfortunately the Brussels Sprouts didn't make it for a picture because I ATE them ALL on the way back to house ? A total do over!!! Hope you have an awesome Summer here!! Janet Roberts Trader

5/28/2019 We ate here tonight and were quite impressed. The food was unique and really well designed. The Brussels sprouts were awesome and we loved the balsamic reduction they used. The rocket potatoes were a well presented and fun take on fries (also tasted great). The ny strip sandwich was fantastic with excellent bread,nice greens, and a cool interaction between the cheese and beef. Really well done we are excited to make this a regular part of our Chincoteague restaurant rotation! Justin Aruck
