What started as a great food experience with the Chicken Katsu Sandwich bringing me great joy was…read moreunfortunately soon derailed. Their "esteemed" Korean corn dog was crap. A sausage that was smaller than my big toe and a cheese that was somehow cold killed any and all appetite I had. Such a shame.

While in the Carolinas we made our way to Optimist Hall. As food halls go everyone splits and picks…read morewhatever delights their fancy and then reconvenes and enjoys. We were lucky to grab seating larger enough to accommodate our group right by the Poppycox suite/stall. While everyone wandered to grab food, I noticed the continual line and what I could only assume was their notable popularity and decided I will give Poppycox a try. I joined the line and perused the menu as this would be my first introduction to the brand and what they offered. When I made it to the front to place my order I was initially met with a welcoming "hello and what can I get you", that quickly turned sour. I guess because I wasn't a regular whom automatically knew what I wanted and I actually had questions. Me: I would like to try the Crazi Daddy Fries.... Can you please tell me what is "Comeback Sauce"? Employee: The sauce on the chicken. Me: Ok, I understand that but what kind of sauce is it exactly? Employee: Huh? Well I can't really tell you that. Me: You can't tell me what the sauce contains? I'm asking because I'm not a fan of some mayo based sauces... is it mayo based? **disregards my question and engages in a side convo with another employee and then walks off** 2nd Employee: Can I help you? Me: She couldn't tell me what's in the "comeback sauce" can I please taste it to make sure I'm ok with it? 2nd Employee: No I cannot allow you to taste the "comeback sauce" Me: Ok. To be clear she wouldn't tell me what the sauce is, and you're saying I can't taste it first before it's squeezed all over my order. This is my first time trying your food. 2nd Employee: Yes, that's correct. Me: Well can I have ranch instead? 2nd Employee: Ok, we charge for the sauce. Me: Ok well you can just put the comeback sauce on the side please incase I do not like it. 2nd Employee: There will be additional charge for the sauce on the side. Me: I'm not asking for additional sauce. I'm no longer asking for you to change the sauce. I'm simply asking for you not to put the sauce that I cannot try or know what it's made of on the side please. 2nd Employee: Yes. You will be charged for that. Me: Fine! At this point I'm convinced I must be on some hidden camera show because the amount of attitude and back & forth I'm getting over this "highly coveted comeback sauce" is mind-boggling. My order is placed and as I sit at our table and wait for my order. I'm looking for the camera crew. Welp turns out no crew, that was just the service. Overall the Crazi Daddy Fries were ok. They are very filling and larger enough to share especially if you would like try other food while at Optimist Hall. The Chopped Chicken- flavorful and juicy. Nicely seasoned and you can control your spice level. The Fries- not impressive, honestly kinda hard and dry. This would have been better and elevated with crinkle cut fries IMO. The Comeback Sauce- as I suspected not my thing. I enjoyed the ranch much better. Yes I was charged for both. (To be clear it was not the charge it was the whole interaction) The Service- Honestly sad. The attitudes were unnecessary, but more important the assumption that every customer is familiar with your product or what you offer is a disservice to both parties. Especially when questions are immediately dismissed or answered with frustration. Just A Note: -3% Surcharge for Credit Cards -My experience was extra spicy and I'm not talking about the chicken. So much so I forgot to snap a pic of the food because I was still taken aback.

The food truck came to our community and we decided to try it out. We spent about $40 for two meals…read morethat came with a meat and 2 sides. They (give you) rice with smoked meat in it, but the rice is dry and does not taste fresh. The fried chicken wings are crunchy without a lot of breading, and seasoned just "ok". The baked beans taste out of a can. The cabbage is too salty. The fried whiting is too breaded and the meat wasn't (white) and looked like it was not freshly made. If I had to put it in less words, the food smells like it's been cooked in old grease. The crinkle fries was my favorite part of the meal. Overall did not meet my expectations. I prefer that my food tastes fresh. The wait time was acceptable and the food was hot. The food needs a little more love and soul put into it.

All the food tasted burnt. It was overcooked. I was highly disappointed considering how much I paid…read morefor it. Had it been prepared properly, I wouldn't have had an issue paying. However, $33.77 (includes drink, beef patty, food and taxes) for overcooked mac and cheese, burnt/dry overcooked brown stewed chicken, over cooked rice and peas (which I didn't see many peas/ beans) and a burnt tasting beef patty, just wasn't what I expected. I just hope it was a night and not a regular way foods were prepared. From others here, I see they do well. The service was great. Very friendly. However, this meal was not acceptable. I'll just have to accept it. They were located at the food truck set up by CookOut on Freedom. I'm willing to try again if others truly swear by them... and I'll update this review. Again, great service, just terrible food - I'm willing to even say maybe it was because it was late night- was the food just cooking all day???? Idk- the mango peach juice was delicious!!!!!! No disappointment there. I'll buy that again. $5. Also, I love this location because it is filled with a number of food trucks. I would love this business to thrive. I ate the beef patty seeing as I was hungry- it was spicy by the patty was hard overcooked. The filling tasted liked it cooked a while. Just ok. Last... I found plastic in it.

The beef Patty was good but thin. The coco bread is okay but doesn't taste like any coco bread I've ever had. The food overall is average. Had the food today when they visited my apartment complex. I will say the lady was super nice and quick. Can't complain about the service.

The cabbage was also very tasty, though the portion was extremely small. Unfortunately, the rice and peppers were far too salty, to the point where I couldn't even take a second bite. What really disappointed me, though, was the portion size. For $20, the dish only came with seven shrimp, which feels like a poor value regardless of how good they were. Sadly, I wouldn't order this dish again. There are other restaurants nearby that serve more generous portions for the same price or less!!!
