Slightly larger portion because it really was good! We vacillated between 4/5- food was great (5), but want more (4), but don't want to pay a lot more!. Bottom line, very good.

The bacon on the grilled cheese sandwich was excellent. But only complaint was a the French fries were soggy and greasy. Sandwich was great. Hope next time the parasite fear is over and I could have it with the tomato. Team was friendly and provided information on the precaution to not use lettuce and tomato

Food was exceptional. They were very professional, on time and easy to deal with. Was surprised it was not a truck but a tent sent up. When the food started, it did not matter. Delucious!!!!
