    Cajun crawfish Alfredo with andouille sausage and broccoli.

    The fried catfish was good, sweet potato fries were also good. The Cajun Alfredo had a TON of spices in it. Couldn't even eat half of it because it's way too salty/spicy. Kind of like they just dumped the seasoning on it.

    Fried fish with honey gold sauce.

    Third time eating at this food truck and he never disappoints. Grilled shrimp was what I ordered the first two times but, this time I tired the honey gold fish. Omg!!

    You order online, pick up your order. Simple as that! You don't even have to get out of the car. It takes a while to bring your food, because the parking lot is completely full of customers who come back for this deliciousness. The menu has amazing options. Next time I'll share pictures of my food. Today I had grilled shrimp, fries, and Hawaiian roll. The lemonade is superb! And addictive! Will definitely return to try every single thing on the menu.

    Oily pasta

    I've been eager to try this place out because, the food looks delicious. I ordered the alfredo pasta bowl($12), I added shrimp($7) for 4 shrimps and I added salmon($6). I also added Cajun Alfred sauce ($2.50). The pasta was good but, it was lacking cajun seasoning and alfredo sauce. I was expecting it to be spicy but, it wasn't. I placed an online order @ 12:02pm and I didn't receive my food until 20 minutes after it said it was ready for pickup @ 12:25pm but, it was ready at 12:40pm. For almost $30 you'd think it comes with bread and/or a drink but, everything is ala carte. Also, with the amount of oil that was in the bottom of the bowl the pasta isn't cooked fresh. You can tell it's microwaved. I love supporting us but, for $30 I was expecting it to blow my taste buds through the roof and it did not!

    The food was amazing the customer service was great, and overall was a great experience. I was visiting the city and found the restaurant and was immediately treated with kindness. The customer service was fantastic. The food tasted fresh, seasoned really well, and was neatly placed inside the To- Go boxes. I definitely recommend this restaurant, however they are take out only and pricey. The price was worth it though!

    I arrived at 6:30 took me about 5-6 minutes to order(online only) and the website restricted it. They told me they stopped taking orders at 7:00 pm(although they close at 8pm) when the time was still 6:30 ~ish. The younger guy bringing me food had smart remarks, and the taller gentleman with short hair and a gap was sarcastic while watching me order. After all the rudeness the guy looked at my screen and when he saw my total was $73 he was quick to put my order in. I didn't get my food until an hour later. Very Bland, and very basic food for those prices. Very disappointed in this black owned business. Please enter with caution, if you enter at all.

    Hot honey gold fried salmon nuggets. Layers of sauce. Seasoned fries.

The shrimp was seasoned with cajun flavors and chili pepper flakes then dipped in a tempura like batter and fried. The shrimp was paired with a soft but yet crunchy bread. The sandwich was topped with lettuce and tomatoes. It did not have a sauce but would have been even better with a spicy aioli. Very GREAT SANDWICH. My friend ordered The Madness that came with a variety of meats topped with lettuce and tomatoes with an onion marmalade. My other friend chose The Philly Cheese Steak. Looked really good. The restaurant/deli is located inside of the grocery store with the same name. The place is nice and organized with snacks, local sweets, drinks, wine etc. The deli has other wonderful options in the case as well. Service was great. The gal that took our sandwich order was so nice and friendly. This grocer is found in the Crosstown Concourse. We decided to eat outside of the grocery store at a table. I will return to try some other scrumptious sandwiches.

I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.

Never had a cheese or protein I didn't like there, and the sandwiches are huge and creatively delicious. Their chef comes up with creative dips and just knows flavors.

We thought it was going to be a bit more substantial than it was in terms of food, but overall a really fun time. In fact, since we were a large group, about half of the entire restaurant, they threw in a few more cheeses and things to snack on as we went. What made the experience, however, was our server and wine guide. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable and played well with the group. Excellent cheeses. Nice variety of the champagne in the tasting. It was $75 per person, so go for the experience and entertainment, not for the sustenance you receive. I would also not go in a group of less than 6 people. Less people would rush through too much. Although speed of service (we took a couple hours) was not an issue as the pacing could have been a bit more frequent.
