    2 Hawaiian Hot Dogs, which is messy indeed.
    Ernie F.

    This food truck catering business was utilized at an event going on, with the menu provided, which is personalized through different food choices, by whoever coordinates it. The main offerings for this event had chicken pork sandwiches, hot dogs with also a Hawaiian hot dog, loaded with chopped pineapples and mayo, sides as well, and a variety of drinks. Service was great and was very thrilled to see the line moving quickly. Would like to explore their other choices in future events.

    Delicious shakshuka!!

    Announcing the opening of From The Ground Up Cafe in Highland, NY!! Located in the heart of Vineyard Commons, Liana, James, and their wonderful team are serving breakfast and lunch Tuesday though Sunday, offering a menu that is sure to please all palates! When I first looked at the menu, I said, "oooh, fried chicken and waffles! I'll have that!" (I've never had it before.) BUT then I saw Shakshuka and my choice was sealed. Served in a hot cast iron pan, this wonderful stew of tomatoes, eggs, spices, and chick peas came topped with perfectly-sauteed kale--all the things I love in one dish with sourdough toast points to get every bit of goodness. My fellow diners ordered the fried chicken and waffles, and were very satisfied. No chicken fingers at this cafe--these were full chicken breasts fried to order. Chef Liana's maple-dijon sauce was a big hit--the combination created a wonderful flavor surprise that was well-balanced and paired well. My other daughter chose the Chipotle Chicken Panini, with chicken, tomato, fresh mozzarella and topped with watercress and served with incredibly crunchy shoestring fries, salted to perfection. I had a chance to step into the kitchen and meet the team, put faces to the names I've been hearing for a while. What an exciting vibe back there, which carried out into the dining room with the friendly and attentive servers. So if you're in or near Highland, head on over to From The Ground Up Cafe for breakfast or brunch--you won't be sorry!! (And I'm not just saying that because the Chef is my daughter!)

    I'm electing From the ground up food truck and catering the best in the Hudson Valley. everyday you can select only the freshest and delicious meals from entrees to deserts. Liana and James are CIA grads who love serving the community. look for the big red food truck. you won't be disappointed E

    The restaurant offers a balanced experience. The food was good, though not very memorable. Service was professional

    I expected more. Just average in all areas. It's not a restaurant I'd go back to. Not much parking.

    With about 45 mins till close (3p) I was stressed, trying to examine the menu as quickly as…read morepossible. The person I believe to be the owner, suggested their specials. At the top of the specials list was a hoagie with pepper turkey so I pivoted to creating my own Turkey Hoagie on a roll with extra Swiss and the works. The owner obliged and a woman on their staff started on my order. Apple Pay is available although cash is preferred. They have their own parking lot, and plenty of indoor seating. My Hoagie was $13.47, and quite delicious. Next time I'll ask for light mayo, mustard, oil and vinegar. Overall I'm happy to report that even close to closing time On a Roll Deli is serving it up. Looking forward to coming back and trying a BEC. Signed, The Happy Hour Huntress

Ok. So I settled for two smoked turkey sandwiches...one on a hard roll with lettuce and mustard; the other, on rye bread with mayo, lettuce and tomato. What did we get? When I got home and unwrapped the sandwiches, BOTH were on hard rolls with mustard (no mayo, no rye bread), and CHEESE (which I did not adk for or want). Both had tomato, lettuce, and RED PEPPERS which we did not want). Both sandwiches cost $20.00. We won't be back.
