Rebecca and her team truly hustled to make our evening a success. In fact, the food was so good that people ate everything and then some! I was nervous as I was planning an out of state event, but I wouldn't hesitate to use them again- the communication and planning was terrific, and I so appreciate how well the evening went.

, the best salad I ever had, the sweet potato frys' with the dip, topped it off. So do you have a restaurant?

The burgers are always good, fresh toppings, great fries and I love that they have gluten-free buns. This is the only food truck we consistently go to. Most of them don't have any gluten-free options.

They were great! They probably had hundreds of orders to get out in a very very limited amount of time. My pizza was slightly burnt, so I gave it a 4 for that. However, customer service, speed of order, and accuracy of order were all 5/5. I don't blame the team for a little burn :) They did a great job!

Lots of meat on the sandwich needed a little more sauce. Brisket was cooked perfectly and the Mac and cheese were delicious

Great service good food and it was so nice they kept the cold stuff (tomatoes and lettuce) separate from the warm sandwich so they wouldn't get soggy
