I ordered the Cheat's OG with added lettuce (10/10) it was cheesy, fresh, and flavorful! Was only a few bites in and I was already saying how I should've ordered two. I also tried the Honey Sriracha Cheat's wings (8.5/10) they were cooked well and tasted good, but they seemed like only honey wings ?? No spice at all, which was a little disappointing. To drink, I got a Cheerwine soda; it was pretty good. Food took about 25 mins to be made after we ordered. They have seating on the side of the building where you can watch the staff making the food which was cool. I def will be returning again, the food was too good not to! My overall rate of experience : 9/10

We're visiting from Miami and a friend suggested we check out Camp North End because they thought…read morewe'd love it... wow. What an experience. The vibes are everywhere. Food, music, kids running around, games, activities, there's so much going on and the place is HUGE. Someone told me it's around 700 acres and honestly, it felt like it. We got there a little later in the day so a lot of the stores had already closed, which was the only downside. Definitely gives you a reason to come back because there was clearly so much more to explore. We'll absolutely be returning next time we're in town.

It does not seem to have the popularity of optimist hall yet, but it is a good concept. We got coffee here and tried later that evening to get ice cream, but most everything closed up fairly early.

Stopped by to visit them during Soda City's Winter Fest. They had 3 different sized bags of peanuts, sweet tea and a hot chocolate bar. I grabbed a medium bag of peanuts so I could share with some friends and a sweet tea. The peanuts were near perfection. Just the right amount of salt and every peanut was edible. Sometimes you get those rogue nasty peanuts when they are tiny or they've been boiled too long etc. but these were all great! Not a bad one in the bunch. The sweet tea was also perfectly sweetened and I added some fresh mint from the hot chocolate bar to special it up a bit. The hot chocolate bar looked impressive with at least 8 different add ins/toppings/mixers and there were also some impressive looking candy apples coated with a variety of sinful toppings. I didn't partake of those that day and I'm afraid that is a regret that I deal with on a daily basis... until next time, Happiness Bomb!

I got an ice cream-filled Krispy Kreme doughnut at Stick and Cones last night. This ice cream…read moretruck was at the food truck rally at South End (Camden and West). Sticks and Cones is a pretty straightforward truck selling ice cream and other frozen treats for a few bucks per order. The ice cream-filled Krispy Kreme doughnut was $3.25 ($3.00 + $0.25 tax). The owner had a box of raspberry and lemon-filled Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a vanilla and chocolate soft serve machine in his truck. So basically, those were the flavor combinations available. I went with a raspberry doughnut filled with vanilla ice cream. The owner split open the doughnut and piled the cold vanilla soft serve high. The high calorie concoction was served in a paper sleeve. It was hard to eat with my hands, so I grabbed a spoon to eat some of the excess ice cream first. The treat tasted exactly how you'd would expect and it's nothing you can't make at home (well, I guess you do need a soft serve machine, but regular ice cream would work just fine too). It was really messy to eat and once the ice cream started melting, it seeped through the wrap, making my hands sticky. This was kind of annoying considering there weren't any restrooms available so I could wash my hands. Overall, though, I enjoyed it and the owner was a nice guy. If I came back, I'd probably order something more "standard" and easier to eat (e.g. ice cream on a stick).

Delicious soft serve ice cream served in a variety of inventive sundaes. I saw the Krispy Kreme raspberry donut sundae and knew I had to try it. So so good! My inner fat kid was cheering! I ordered 4 items and total was $17-18. It was expensive, but the quality was on point and I'll be back in line when I see this truck again!

I arrived at 6:30 PM on a Wednesday after seeing their Instagram post saying they would close at 7 pm or when they sold out. I ordered a classic: funnel cake with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries without whipped cream and syrup. I was told it would be about a 30-minute wait which was a spot-on estimate. I was super excited about the funnel cake, and I unwrapped the box and took a picture. The funnel cake was shockingly small, and there wasn't a lot of powdered sugar and just a few strawberries. I expected a more significant portion for the $10 price. Additionally, the flavor of the batter was delicious, but the funnel cake itself was pretty greasy, though otherwise cooked well. The greasiness made it soggy and not a super tasty experience. I'd say that it was overall a 3 to a 3-1/2-star product. The extra star I'm giving is for the excellent service. They are probably a new business working out the kinks and need more feedback and guidance to step it up to a headling product. I also think their menu was a bit extensive and varied, which may make it challenging to prepare orders promptly. With some refinement, this could be a great spot. It doesn't do much in the ambiance as it is an outdoor tent adjacent to a barbershop in the Roses parking lot on the Plaza, but I don't think that's what people come here for. I would give them some space to grow and give them another shot.

It was something hard in the chili I had on my hotdog(which was burnt) and the fish was burnt tasting and they fried the chicken wings in fish grease! I spent 90 bucks there and it was disgusting!

I got the Korean corn dog (panko, half cheese and half sausage, sugared) and it was piping hot and fresh. I got the japchae as a side and the taste wasn't bad, but it was not really japchae, just glass noodles with some scallion... Overall though, it was a solid convenient spot to grab some quick street food for cheap! The server was kind and quick, and there was plenty of seating within the food court as well, so the vibes were casual and good. Not a bad place!

I went with the most Korean dish they had. I ordered the KatsuBap, which is actually Japanese as mentioned in their business page. I almost enjoyed the katsu (pork) but didnt have enough rice and sauce. I felt like it only had a spoon of scambled eggs. Too much greens in the bowl. If you're eating here, don't expect to eat authentic Korean food. They had korean corndogs and a bulgogi bowl that I might try next time.

He showed up right on time and was ready to serve when the party started. My guests couldn't have been happier with the service and selection. Everyone was able to build their own hot dogs and Charley made excellent suggestions when folks were overwhelmed by topping options. The favorite toppings in the group (not surprisingly) were the Pepsi Onions and the Bacon Jam. The sauces were popular as well especially the sweet heat and the blueberry jalapeno. I can't recommend them more highly. The made catering a party of 50ish people so so easy on me, the host. Very reasonably priced as well. Go see the Gunny when he's set-up around town but also be sure to invite him to your party, wedding, reception, etc. You and your guests won't be disappointed.

Charley is a most pleasant man, and makes coming here a pleasure indeed.

It used to be at Romare Bearden Park and I think that's the when it was at its best. After that, it moved to a random parking lot and then most recently to BB&T Ballpark. The number of vendors has gone down significantly. They added a lights display last year which was kind of cool. They also started charging an entrance fee. I might go back if it goes back to being free, but I definitely don't think it's worth paying to get into.

The market was crowded in a small parking lot with very small stands for vendors. It was very crowded so it was hard to go in and check all the stands. Some were empty, they weren't too many to begin with. I even witnessed somebody breaking an ornament inside a stand, a first for me! Holiday craziness, I guess? More like lack of space. The decorations were minimal and subdued, Santa was crawling along to take his place in his house, guess he was on a break? Prices were high for the merchandise on sale. I got a cheese strudel, a parmesan pretzel and 2 hot apple ciders (small sizes) for $23? Seriously? They ran out of cherry and apple strudels and I settled for cheese, left with no choices. It was the worst I ever had, I couldn't taste the marzipan, the cheese was barely any, no raisins or anything, pretty bland. The market is free and for what they have to offer, they better not charge admission. Worst Christmas market I ever visited! And the smallest!
