The bacon on the grilled cheese sandwich was excellent. But only complaint was a the French fries were soggy and greasy. Sandwich was great. Hope next time the parasite fear is over and I could have it with the tomato. Team was friendly and provided information on the precaution to not use lettuce and tomato

Friendly staff! Fries were hot and the seasoning was so good and wrap was fresh! The wrap had great flavor (I did ranch instead of boom boom sauce) overall a great experience!

Food was great, service was great and fast! I appreciated the tater tots crispiness and that they did out the cheese and bacon on the side so the tots didn't get soggy! Nobody likes a soggy tot!

Food was exceptional. They were very professional, on time and easy to deal with. Was surprised it was not a truck but a tent sent up. When the food started, it did not matter. Delucious!!!!

Chopping the brisket instead of pulling it would make it easier to eat on a grilled cheese sandwich to avoid larger amounts coming out together. Also, double check preorders to ensure everything is accounted for...I shouldn't have to go back to the truck for the side of Barbecue sauce that I had ordered.

Club was great! Hot, fresh, ready on time and delicious. Raise your prices $1 and get rid of the convenience fee. It just pisses people off and they don't want to tip. You're a food truck, convenience is your business, don't charge for it. I would definitely order again!
