Sarah's Triple S was a hit at the lunch event. They showed up on time, were friendly, and their cheeseburgers were especially a crowd pleaser. The vegetarian option was helpful to have and the sides were all delicious.

The hamburger meat is delicious. Only complaint is the special instructions were not followed to add extra pickles, but the taste made the difference

Food was good and I would order again. Nothing blew my mind (tho the sauce was quite tasty), but it was a good meal

Flavor and quality were amazing. A bit pricy but they bring the food to you and you can avoid the wait. Well worth it. 10/10

I was happy with everything! If I was nit picking I'd say the drinks were not cold but that wasn't a big deal to me since we are at home. It would have been if we had been out somewhere say at the beach or a park or concert etc.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!đ

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.
