Would have been a 5 star but they got there exactly at the time the luncheon was scheduled to start - making me a little nervous! Aside from that the food and service were both excellent!

Jiniah and her team were amazing - very friendly and efficient with our guests. Food was great and there was a wide variety - the only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is that it is advertised as serving seasoned waffle fries and they were just plain fries - still tasty but not what we expected.

Had the buffalo lemon pepper tenders with fries. Fries were spot on. Hot and fresh. Seasoned nicely. Tenders were not hot. A little heavy on the batter and needed more sauce and lemon pepper. Flavor was fantastic. Just needed a bit more and to be hot and fresh.

Great food. Bad and dangerous parking. I know that this is a new food truck for Boeing. THANK YOU!!! Delicious! But please park facing the other way next time.

Their family business is well run, and the hot chicken was the best! Hope they return to our neighborhood.

The fries were perfect! Very crispy and delicious. The chicken was tasty but a bit tough. There were so many orders - both online and walk-up - that they may have been a bit overwhelmed.

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
