Favorite part is the whole truck! This is my favorite food truck. Not a dud on the menu and always kind staff.

They ran out of GF buns, so I ordered a burger without a bun, and sauce on the side, planning to use a GF bun at home. When I checked the order at home, the bunless burger had a regular bun. I switched it to the GF bun but all of the cheese stuck to the regular bun. Very disappointing. We will not be ordering in the future unless you have GF buns, as your menu listed.

My order was ready and the chicken melt flavor was great! The cheese could have been more melty, but it was great

Reduce price of plain burger compared to burgers with all toppings. Should be more like $7 given extra patty is $4 and plain burger is patty plus bun.

The best food I've had from a food truck. One of the few to actually get the seasoning ON the chicken.

I preordered and it was simple to grab my order. I do think there needs to be more than one person in the truck however.

The truck workers are always pleasant. They. handle everyone as quickly as the can. These whoopie pies are the best!
