The food was absolutely amazing—the meats were tender and smoky, and every side dish was flavorful. The service team was outstandingly professional, friendly, and efficient, ensuring all our guests were served quickly and with a smile. Most importantly, the entire event went off without a single issue. Sweet Magnolia Smokehouse delivered incredible food and zero stress, making them the absolute highlight of our day!

My husband and I each had a fried chicken sandwich- the classic one and the one with cheese, lettuce and tomato. These were the best chicken sandwiches! We liked them better than Chick fil A!!

Piccolo Pizzetta’s pizza truck is truly wonderful! Their New York–style pizza is absolutely delicious—full of flavor, and so authentic. I did have to put it in the air fryer for a couple of minutes to get it super crispy as I prefer. And those zeppoles? They took me straight back to my childhood at a Manhattan pizzeria and the San Gennaro Festival. Such nostalgic, delightful bites! I definitely recommend it if you're craving genuine New York flavor right here in Epperson! 🍕💛

There were three of us. We all had different foods but all of us loved them-we had one Heat burger with onion rings that both folks loved. One person got the veggie burger-I had a taste and we both loved the flavors. I had the Mediterranean salad. I enjoyed the mixture of ingredients and the unexpected flavors of the broccoli and cauliflower.
