Order was done earlier than scheduled, food was delicious, we had them take tots off the order and they reimbursed us for the tots on both orders. This is our fav food truck! Nicely done, we will be back!

The macaroni and cheese was cooked perfectly, the cheese had a great flavor, and the bacon was nice and crispy. There was a great amount of bacon for the topping, and I felt like the portion of macaroni and cheese was decent. I will definitely order from this food truck the next time I want to try the brisket.

They forgot one order of fries The young lady asked my name when I got to the truck so I gave her my LAST name. Apparently she wanted my FIRST name. I wish she had clarified that for me Our order was scheduled for 6:30. I got it at 6:44. Not terrible but a notification would have been nice

Slightly larger portion because it really was good! We vacillated between 4/5- food was great (5), but want more (4), but don't want to pay a lot more!. Bottom line, very good.
