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.

On behalf of the Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, I wanted to thank you for being a part of our Summer Picnic. The food truck was a huge hit with our staff—people really enjoyed the quality of the food, the service, and the overall experience. Your team was punctual, well-organized, and very professional throughout the event. The ordering process moved smoothly, and we received great feedback from attendees about both the food and the friendliness of your staff. We truly appreciate your partnership and would absolutely consider working with you again for future events. Thank you again for helping make our event a success!
