The Heat burger was DELICIOUS. The jalapeños were fresh and crisp and the pepper sauce was just right! Onion rings were crispy. Great portions!

. Oh goodness, my destination was only 10 minutes from the truck and I had already eaten half of my food before I got to it🫣.

The food was great! Cinnabon is always a winner! However, would be nice to have a pre-order pick up line since it was advertised to "save time" by ordering ahead and the wait was the same.

Food was fresh, flavorful, cooked well, good even though I picked it up a little late and it was slightly cold. Very good food.

Crispy Brussels were on point. Nashville hot po boy was delish with a good amount of heat. 10/10, would recommend.
