I have had everything on the menu more than once and nothing had ever been disappointing. Therefore, it came as a shock when we learn they are were closing for a while. Knowing how long it took them reopen some of their other restaurants, we are a bit sad. Maybe they will make it a little less dark inside which would be great. Sometimes it is a bit too lick like a club in there. Also perhaps they could add the octopus tacos to Tako Torta ! We visited for one last hoorah last weekend. The octopus wasn't on the menu but after checking with our waitress, they still had a few. We got both this one and then queso! I got chips for the queso since I don't do gluten and then corn tortillas with the tacos. The octopus was well cooked as usual. I had a frozen pain killer which was great. See you soon I hope!

I stopped by here a couple of Thursday evenings ago with my wife for dinner. Our neighborhood had…read moresigned up a number of food trucks to come on Thursdays and this Thursday happened to be The Mac and Gold Truck. Since it's a food truck, there's not too much to say about it other than it's a nice yellow color that reminds you of cheese. For dinner on this day I decided to go with the buffalo chicken Mac and cheese while my wife went with the lobster Mac and cheese. There was maybe a 5 minute wait between ordering and our food being ready and afterwards we headed back to our house to eat. My buffalo Mac and cheese ended up being quite good as both the buffalo chicken and blue cheese added great flavor to the dish. However, as it should be, the Mac and cheese was the star. The pasta itself was cooked nicely and the cheese sauce had a great flavor to it. There was an ample amount of it too and which means that I was able to enjoy Each and every piece of pasta. My wife really enjoyed hers too and we were both pleased that the lobster wasn't exorbitantly priced. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our Mac and cheese and I would be interested in trying more of their flavors.

Wasn't sure what to expect because most Mac & Cheese at restaurants is overrated. There are two…read moresizes, a snack size and a regular. The regular is relatively large. They had 3 specials and/or Plain Mac or build you own with about 6 items to build your own. Was pleasantly surprised with my order of Prosciutto & Lump Crab Mac. The cheese is definitely a sharper cheese which made it a winner. It came with lumps of crab and crumbled prosciutto, a great combo.

We absolutely love Steel City Chimneys. Follow them on social media to see where they will be next!…read moreLots of farmers markets and events on rotation for them. They are super nice, calm, professional and have a great unique product for the area. We try to find them wherever they are! The chimney cake itself is delicious - cooked just right every time with the perfect amount of sweetness. It pulls apart and makes it easier to eat. The cinnamon sugar (the OG recipe) is a classic and you can't go wrong there but then they generally offer 1-2 season flavors in rotation on their menu for each event. Some of our seasonal favorites include: salted caramel, lemon sugar, pumpkin spice. You can usually choose a free drizzle or leave plain. Get there early if you want to secure one as they generally sell out! Such a unique concept and they are doing everything right! Check them out!

In 2021, at the Greater Pittsburgh Food Truck Festival, I ordered a platter of food from Pittsburgh Pierogi Truck. I rated the potato-cheese pierogies as 4.5 stars and the haluski as 2.5 stars. I really enjoyed the dough and filling of the pierogies, but I did not like the color and taste of the cabbage in the haluski. I appreciated that the employee had a cheerful personality. In 2025, at the BaconBurgh festival, I ordered more foods from this truck. I ordered a #1 platter that contained three pierogies, haluski, and one stuffed cabbage for about $14. I rate the potato-bacon pierogies as 4.5 stars, the bacon haluski as 4 stars, and the bacon-stuffed cabbage as 3.5 stars. According to their website, they also sell their foods at some stores, for catering, wholesale, and fundraisers.

Toppings and customer service that are out of this world!!…read more We had Galaxy Donuts come to our work for an employee event.. and let's just say... we sold them out of donuts! The donuts are miniature... like littler than little donuts, but the toppings are heaped on!! With classics like maple bacon, cinnamon sugar, and Bavarian cream.. but with fun twists like s'mores, tutti frutti, and PB&J. There was something for everyone!!! The donuts are fried to perfection and even with a line of 100 people - this one man operation kept pace and had the line constantly moving. The donuts are topped fresh per order, so you are guaranteed to get exactly what you want. Over and above: For some allergy requests, they were willing to mix and match toppings, within reason. And even, use some gluten free mochi donuts that we had on the side... and add toppings to them for people! The decor is great! Definitely a galaxy far, far away!

Rescue Dog's came through our neighborhood this past week for a block party/food truck roundup. I'd…read morenot heard of them prior to this event but thought that their mission (lightoflife.org) was noble and so I wanted to contribute. My wife and I ordered the Big Cheese and the Big Tex and a side of fries. The Big cheese was a little underwhelming in that the Mac and cheese was pretty standard and overcooked, there weren't many jalapeños slices, and the hot dog is just boiled and plain. The Big Tex was also just a boiled dog (no grilling here), but came with more peppers, onions, cheese and had a smoky sauce drizzled on it that was nice. The fries were thick cut and crispy and seasoned with more than just salt so those were nice too. Overall meal was about $17 before tip which isn't too bad but seems a little steep--I take comfort in knowing that it's at least for a good cause.

I stopped by here earlier today for dinner. Our neighborhood has food trucks come every Thursday…read moreand on this day, it was Rescue Dogs turn. This food truck is more of a trailer that is towed on the back of the truck and on the day we were there they had 2 people working it. They were slammed and so there was the game of trying to keep up with orders without taking too many. Their menu says proceeds are for the light of life rescue mission which is nice. For dinner on this day I decided to order a number of items to split with my wife and so went for the big tex as well as a southern belle, fresh cut fries with cheese and a Mac and cheese with bacon. The hot dog selection was the toughest choice for me as I was between the chili chaloochi and the big tex before the amount of good sounding items on the big Tex won out. It was described as a hot dog with grilled onions, sweet peppers and jalepenos with Cajun seasoning and also topped with tomatoes, shredded cheddar and cowboy mayo and the southern belle was described as their spicy chicken selection with fried chicken strips, pickles and chipotle sauce served in their signature grilled hot dog bun. After about a 15 minute wait or so, our food was ready and I was headed home. Whenever I got home the first thing I noticed was that they had forgotten my bacon on the Mac and cheese and cheese on the fries which was disappointing since I had paid for both. At that point I was not expecting to give them anything higher than a 3 star review. In any case, I first started with the big Tex and I have to admit that I loved it! The grilled onions, sweet peppers and jalepenos all added some nice flavor to it and the deep fried hot dog was delicious. It was definitely the best hot dog I have had in a long time and I didn't feel bad spending the $7 on it. After that I tried the southern belle. It was on the same buttered bun which the hot dog was on which was tasty. The chicken itself had a nice golden color to it and tasted good enough and I enjoyed the chipotle sauce. I only wish that it had more spice for something that was called spicy. With both of my entrees complete I was able to try both of the sides. I started with the fries which you could tell were freshly cut. They were well seasoned and both my wife and I enjoyed them. Last but certainly not least was the mac and cheese which was a creamy Mac and cheese. It was a decent Mac and cheese but nothing to tell my friends about. The bottom line for me is that I would head back to the rescue dogs food truck again in the future. I really enjoyed my hot dog and would be interested in trying their signature chili chaloochi.
