Great menu variety and feedback from employees on the quality, quantity, and taste of the food. The service was good, even though they had an equipment failure. Very friendly staff.

Best grilled cheese I've ever had! And the soup was still nice and hot. Outstanding food and service! Thank you!

The food was delicious The fries were good and I was late picking up so if I was on time and the food was hot I can't imagine how scrumptious it all would have been. I had the briscuit and my husband had the Philly cheese steak and they were both filling enough that we could save half each for tomorrow's lunch. I got an order of boom boom sauce just so I could know whether I should order the sandwich that has it the next time. I think I will; it has just enough of a kick, but not too much that it will cause me heartburn. Loved it.

I ordered the wings, which were good. I ordered a double batch to share with coworkers. Each one was short, a wing which the owner apologized for. Only one box had dipping sauce. He did supplement with cheesy breadsticks, which were delicious.

The brisket grilled cheese was seriously the best BBQ sandwich I've ever had. It was PERFECT. The meat was Smokey and the BBQ sauce was definitely homemade because it was superb & you can taste the love that was put into it. My husband tried it & instantly wanted one. We will be ordering 2 sandwiches each next time - they were THAT good. Staff was friendly and our order was made exactly at the time we selected. 10/10 will be back!

Sandwiches were absolutely phenomenal. Cuban, chicken parm, grilled cheese and brisket were all top notch! Five stars there. Fries had zero taste and were pretty bad but the main course more than made up for it.

I received the wrong pizza (pepperoni) at first. Once I took the incorrect pizza back to the truck they apologized and made the NY plain with extra cheese as I had originally ordered. The staff was friendly and professional. When I was picking up the remake the AFrame metal sign blew over and struck me in the back of my lower leg just above my foot. I would suggest that food trucks tie down or weight their signs to keep this from happening in the future. Luckily it did not land on the top of my foot since I was wearing flip flops. I have some bruising and have placed some ice on it.
