Tasty sandwich and soup. I pre ordered and received an email they would try to accommodate my scheduled pickup and was expecting a text when the order was ready but didn’t receive one. Upon going to the truck my order was handed to me immediately however.

Great flavor in the Buffalo Chicken Wrap and the fries were perfect. I would've appreciated a side dipping sauce of the Buffalo sauce.
