The food was incredibly tasty and the portions were large - enough left over for lunch tomorrow. There aren't many creole trucks out there so knocking it out of the park flavor-wise was great!

Delicious food, ready for pickup exactly when promised, and friendly, welcoming folks running the operation. I hope they return to Greyhawk Landing.
