More than 5! They worked their butts off to get the food out. All of it was delicious! Probably the best burger meat I've ever had, melted in my mouth!

Food was great and she was very pleasant. She was by herself when I went down there but she had a great system and stayed positive during a hectic time. I loved being able to pre-order and that they texted me when my food was ready.

Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

The food taser fresh and flavorful, and the French Fries were cooked perfectly brown and crispy, not soggy.

Great flavor in the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and the fries were perfect. I would've appreciated a side dipping sauce of the Buffalo sauce.
