The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

The burgers were cooked to perfection, they were tender, juicy, and the buns were crispy and soft at the same time, and the fries melted in my mouth, overall 11/10, super good

1. The last time I got the same order oysters were kinda hard with fried clumps of breading like the flour wasn't sifted. 2. I got the same thing today the oysters were better than before/ $5 for a medium/small drink should be a bit larger for $5
