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.

The Real Read

Not every event is a fit. The ones that are, get our best.

We're a Fit If:
  • ✓ You have 50 or more guests and a real date locked in
  • ✓ You want food the whole crowd will actually eat. Hand-cut fries, smash burgers, wings, tenders. Comfort food for actual humans, not food critics.
  • ✓ You want a signed contract with arrival time, one all-in price, and one human who answers when you call
  • ✓ Your budget starts at $1,500 and you care more about how the food lands than how cheap the quote is
Probably Not a Fit If:
  • ✗ You need plated, seated, white-glove fine dining. We are a food truck doing food truck things, well. That is a different job.
  • ✗ You have fewer than 50 guests. The truck math does not work. We will gladly point you to a smaller caterer who fits.
  • ✗ You are shopping for the cheapest quote. The cheapest food truck is also the one most likely to ghost on you. We have watched it happen.
  • ✗ You want to book and never hear from us until the day of. We text, we call, we confirm, we re-confirm. If that feels like a lot, we are not your truck.
If we are not the right fit, we will tell you. We will also point you to someone who is. That is how we keep the yes events perfect.

"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   How do I know you'll actually show up to my event?

Every booking gets a signed contract with a guaranteed arrival time written in. Not "around 11ish." Not "noon-ish." The actual time. We ask for a deposit when you book to lock the date, and the remaining balance is automatically charged within 7 days of your event. In 6 years and 600+ events, we have never been a no-show. Not once. Your event is not a maybe. It is a confirmed booking with one direct contact who answers when you call.

02   What does it actually cost? Just tell us.

Most events start at $15 per person with a $1,500 minimum. The total depends on guest count, service hours, and any add-ons. Here is what you will not get from us. A lowball quote that turns into a $3,000 invoice after the fact. No fuel surcharge. No service fee that nobody mentioned. No "oh by the way" line items. The number we quote is the number you pay, and it is in writing before anyone signs anything.

03   Are y'all a real food truck or a booking platform?

Two brothers. One truck. We own it, we cook on it, we show up to your event in it. When you reach out, you are talking to the people who will actually be at your event. Not a sales rep in another time zone. Not a network. Not a marketplace skimming 20% off the top. Just us. The same people who built the menu, hired the team, and put our name on the building.

04   Will my guests actually like the food? What about dietary stuff?

Yes. The menu is built for crowds, not food critics. Hand-cut fries, smash burgers, hand-breaded chicken tenders, wings. Comfort food that makes 100 people happy without anyone asking "what is this." Every menu includes vegetarian options, gluten-free and vegan builds, and kid-friendly items. Tell us what you are working with on the application and we will make sure everyone eats well. Including your uncle who only eats chicken tenders. We have done this before.

05   Do you have insurance and a real contract for my venue?

Yes to both. We carry full liability insurance and we will provide a Certificate of Insurance for your venue, naming them as additional insured if they require it. Every booking includes a real contract. Arrival time, departure time, menu, headcount, all-in price, payment terms, cancellation policy. In writing. Signed by both sides. The kind of paperwork your venue, your boss, or your event coordinator can actually file.

06   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.

07   How early do I actually need to book this?

Honest answer: 4 to 6 weeks is the sweet spot. We have saved events with 72-hour notice and we would do it again. But your date selection and menu options are way better when you are not in crisis mode. Earlier is always easier. If your date is tight, fill out the form anyway. Tell us. We will see what we can make work.

08   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. 6 years. 600+ 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.
