The texture of the dough was amazing! It was crunchy yet still light and pillowy. The char was perfect too.

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.

Everything! Bang bang chicken is my favorite. It's highly protein based with great sauce coating over the chicken and fries to boot. Can last me all day.

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

Our employees loved the food truck and they were prompt and had enough food for both our day and night shift team members. The food was delicious. We would definitely use them again for future events.
