Overall, we had a good experience! The owner was very kind and communicative. However, there was an issue which caused the waffles to run out halfway through the event, which seemed a bit disappointing to some employees.

Fries are amazing. Hubs downed the pepper burger. Daughter liked the chix fingers. Not a huge fan of the styrofoam.

The Side Chick sliders were AMAZING. Extremely fresh, juicy, and a punch of southern/cajun flavor. The medium spice level is a TRUE medium and executed perfectly!

Cocos Latin Cuisine was amazing. Probably one of the best Cuban sandwiches ever--generous portions of meat. Great garlic aioli with yuca fries. Empanadas?! Delicious!!
