Loved the lunch box being so well rounded with fruit and protein bar. The complementary drink was the cherry on top! But seriously, the hot chicken wrap was sooo good!!!!!😊

This is one of the best wraps I’ve ever had! The staff is super friendly, and the food tastes absolutely delicious. You can tell everything’s made with care and good energy. Highly recommend trying any dish from here you really can’t go wrong!

Absolutely fantastic! The burgers were fresh, juicy, and full of flavor — easily some of the best I’ve had from a food truck. The service was fast and friendly, and everyone working there was so kind and welcoming. You can really tell they care about what they do.

Really good BBQ and sides. Ready on time. Better than any other BBQ truck that's been here. And I'm from Alabama and let's say I know a little bit about BBQ! Lol

The food was tasty but when I went to pick up my orders the person checking me out didn’t ask if I needed any bbq sauces for my meals. The bags were tied up so I assumed they put them in the bags. There wasn’t any and I was too far away to drive back. The attention to the small details make a difference.

Truck showed up on time and set up quickly. All guests were happy with the hamburgers; they even made a couple of last min orders even when they were closed up! would definitely recommend!!

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

Onion rings were fabulous! Chicken as well great. Looking for a bit more variety of burgers besides just bigger or hotter.
