!! The crust was crispy, yet still soft and fluffy. The veggies were perfect! Garlic cheesy bread was spot on and the cinnamon bread was the perfect finishing touch. Amazing food truck! Fantastic and friend staff! Would 10/10 recommend!

They really care about the quality and have love for what they do, wanted to make sure it was hot, went above and beyond

Prices too high. Consider large portion or additional cheaper sides. Grilled cheese was good, but it was tiny and the coleslaw portion was tiny and the side of kettle chips are just bagged chips from the grocery store that add no additional value to the meal

They didn't have any condiments for the Chicago Dog, but they gave me some fries for free which was very nice.

Grilled sourdough bread with chicken, cheeses, and Buffalo sauce was so good. No other sandwich like it.

One of the pizza's was perfect but the cheese pizza was burned in the bottom which made the pizza taste bad . We follow the truck and have never had this happen.
