I thought it'd be fun to see the costumes and vendors and the menu won me over, so I stopped by to grab a meal for me and my husband to share. The truck itself is large and impressively decorated/designed and really delivers on the sort of Valkyrie / Maiden of War fantasy. Food is made to order so they do tell customers about how long to expect to wait. I was fortune to arrive early in the event and only had one or two orders ahead of me. My fresh food was still out less than 15 minutes after I ordered it. Service was friendly, professional, and eager to answer questions. I ordered their simplest burger, The Primordial Axe (one patty, semi standard toppings like pickles, onion, lettuce tomato), a half order of their Locked and Loaded fries (bacon, ranch, jalapeños, cheese and grilled chicken), and I couldn't resist one of their limited time dessert specials, the Scarlet Orchard Bread Pudding, which was cinnamon bread with pumpkin custard, with apples, cranberries, and whipped cream on top. It was definitely a feast for the two of us! The burger was my least favorite thing. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't super flavorful, and I thought a little too much fat hadn't rendered out of mine, which left it chewy in parts. The loaded fries were solid. Crinkle fries are my least favorite cut of fry, but these were cooked nicely and salted and seasoned well. The half serving was still absolutely huge and the toppings were layered well and were quite flavorful. Generous, well-cooked bacon, and nice fresh jalapeños too. The grilled chicken was cooked perfectly, was flavorful and juicy, and a pleasant surprise honestly - I don't usually love grilled chicken in loaded fries. Speaks to the quality of the meat and skill of the cook! The best thing to me was the dessert, though. One detractor - the cranberries were very bitter lol. But other than that, the spiced apples were a nice balance of crisp and tender as well as sweet and sour. The bread was soft but not soggy and perfectly sweet. It was a super generous portion that made two dessert servings for each of us. Overall, I am glad I made the visit to try this truck and would recommend giving it a try.

Before we even arrived, I pointed out to my husband that I thought the price point was a little high, but maybe the quality of food made up for it. So we arrive and see a long line of folks waiting for their food. We get up to order, and their out of samosa?!? A main staple and you're out after being here for 30 minutes?!? Oh well... we place our order and wait. And wait. And wait some more. And wait a little more. Close to an HOUR of waiting. We finally get our food and head back home. Like I said at the beginning of the review, I was worried about the price, and it def. didn't live up to the quality/quantity. My rice was cold (HOW?!? After waiting an hour), the salad and naan were minimal, and so was the raita. My husband enjoyed the flavor of his chicken and fries, but again I don't think it was worth the cost. The person who gave us our food asked us to let him know how the food was, so here ya go... we won't be coming back.

They serve breakfast all day and the lunch/dinner specials are great. It's a hole in the wall place but it works. There is no dining area perse so it best to get take out. The gentlemen there were nice and courteous and offered their best seller which is the fat mama burger which is two ground 1/4lbs chuck patties, bacon, shrimp, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. It was delicious! The size of it was monstrous! It was magnificent! I had to cancel my order of fries! Lol They have beverages here but not on tap; everything is in a can. That's a good thing in my opinion. The prices of everything is very reasonable and manageable. The service is top notch but what I enjoyed the most was the conversation and recommendation as this was my first, but not last, time visiting. I'm so mad I'm just now trying them. I'll be trying their breakfast next time because I saw a plate the owner was making and it made my mouth water like a Doberman Pinscher finally getting that bone. They accept cash, debit, and credit, the latter via square and they'll email or text you a receipt if needed. Very convenient and practical. They also do catering so if you have a function coming up, give them a call. All in all, this was a great first time experience. Great recommendations, quick food service, awesome owner and cook, and worthy of service. Visit these guys ASAP!

Fast forward to this week, 7/2024. It was my turn to pick a place for happy hour. I called SKA last Thursday & asked what time happy hour is? The staff replied "Either 4pm or 5pm until 7pm." I asked her to please find out and I'd wait. In response she asked me what time I planned to come. I told her, 4pm. She responded, "YOU SHOULD BE FINE AROUND THEN." I was baffled and just asked for her name and ended the call ... We went to Courtyard 280 ‍ It just so happened that my friends picked SKA for brunch today, Saturday. I'd resolved that I was going for the company and would put all of my past experiences aside. My food experience had been prior the food truck and brick and mortar. So I was open to giving them a chance. I'm so so glad I did! They refer Saturday brunch as a Day Party. It's on the louder end of the spectrum, which is perfectly appropriate for a day party vibe. There was a DJ ... at some point my friend asked, Are they playing GloRilla?!? lol! I'm a fan so it was fine. Our waiter had great energy and he was attentive. The decor is nice. We ordered the mimosa flight. They were good, 4 flavors - strawberry, mango, blueberry, peach - not too sweet. I ordered shrimp and grits. The grits were thick (that's how I like them) and well seasoned. The shrimp was plentiful! was not over cooked at all. There was shrimp in most every bite. I'd recommend this. My friend ordered the fried catfish and grits and said she enjoyed it. The biscuit tasted canned - it wasn't needed though. This was a nice experience!

It's meat-forward. Big polish sausage dogs covered in chili/debris/perfectly sautéed onions, burgers that are dripping with goodness and heavy when you pick them up. Fries that are always crisp and piping hot. Long term consistent execution. As sure a thing as you're gonna get from a truck. If you see it, and you're hungry, consider yourself blessed.

This Cousins food truck is from Birmingham and has been to the Fly Wheel craft brewery a few times in the last year. The staff seem like a nice crew, always friendly. The lines have been usually very long but on this cold Saturday (15 degrees) the line was short, but remained consistent. The menu is short but good. We got the Maine and Connecticut versions, lobster tots, clam chowder, shrimp taco, and some whoopie pies (I know, I know but my wife doesn't like lobster, before you start thinking "what a fat a..", our daughter was home for weekend, the other lobster roll was hers, though I'd happily eaten both rolls). Lot of comments about being pricey, but it's cheaper than at any restaurant, and the portions are the same, so prices are about right if not on the cheap side. The rolls were very good, my daughter and I preferred the warm buttery Connecticut version. The taco was also good but probably be better with lobster. The clam chowder was delicious, with large chunks of clam. The tots paired well with the rolls and the taco and contained a good amount of lobster. Most people get it to go and leave but some stay and dine in the brewery which has a few long tables. They also have a nice stone patio with a fire place to warm up. When they're in town you should really pick up some lobster rolls for a nice lunch or dinner.

I wish there was the option to order online without downloading the app. It would have saved us from standing out in the bitter cold while waiting for our order to get ready.

Hibachi-style dinners are served from the kitchen rather than cooked in front of you, for a more peaceful dining experience. Standard offerings include steak, chicken, salmon, shrimp, scallops, and lobster entrees or combinations thereof, served with fried rice, vegetables, and either soup or salad. The fried rice has a good flavor that doesn't require the addition of yum-yum sauce. The sashimi is pretty good. The sushi rolls are decent too. I've also enjoyed the tempura and the katsu here. The service is usually quick and always courteous. The outdoor seating option is nice when it's not too hot, and not something commonly found at Asian restaurants around here.
