We scheduled them for an event and they came early to allow time for setup and prep. They had unique items on the menu that you do not normally get from other food trucks. The lobster cheeseteak was the most delicious cheesesteak I ever tasted. The lobster loaded fries, were phenomenal. Of the 2 trucks we scheduled, this one was the more popular one. I would hire them back in a heartbeat!

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
