We didn't realize it at first, but there is a corridor going between a section of booths that is supposed to be the service queue. Thankfully it was POLITELY pointed out by the more familiar patrons, so we got in line. The menu is an easy read, nothing complicated here and the staff is very friendly, and apparently very aware that we were newbies here, all in good natured chat, this place is starting to feel very friendly. Placing our orders we take a booth and there are flowers in vases on the tables! Looking around, this place is very clean, like REAL clean. There is even staff that hang out in the middle of the dining room looking around. When they see a patron leave, the staff grabs some kind of wipes and wipe down the table that was just vacated. The feeling here is that this is an elevated food establishment. Like a crossover between a full service restaurant and a grab-and-go place. A cheerful individual brings us our tray and makes it seem like he was glad to do so. This is so different from the energy outside that gives the appearance of a 3 lane highway during a traffic jam with staff working the line. However, while we are sitting there eating we do see the line moving along not too slowly. The parking for dine-in was plentiful and the interior is also well lit as well as very clean. The food is good. The chicken is hot and moist, lettuce and tomatoes cool and fresh. I don't like pickles so that was no problem to leave off. The fries are like round waffles. Not my favorite style but tasty enough. Overall, a good experience in a relaxed environment.

It was in the upstairs portion of the establishment - an open area with a number of food options (and a pretty cool candy shop). Our order was taken by the owner who was very friendly and welcoming. We built our own Cheeseburger & Chicken Sandwich & Cheesesteak menu item. My chicken sandwich was pretty tasty with the "aioli" sauce but wish it had more pickles (think I got 2). The cheesesteak was good in which the bread was soft but not soggy and great flavoring (although it was ordered without onions (my daughter's failure)). The steak fries were good. I wanted onion rings but was told that it's a "sweet" onion which is not my preference for onion rings. The drinks had great presentation - the seasonal Italian soda (spiced pear & cantaloupe) was a unique combination but was a very good call. I would highly recommend giving this place a shot as it was priced well and customer service was top notch

The owner not only donates to my youth program but he cuts his own curly fries and works as hard if not harder than the crew that does show. His incredible charm and excellent food make it for a popular spot so the wait can be a bit but on those times enjoy yourself because the food will still be fresh and worthy! Xoxo read more

It's a fairly plain looking truck and the options were straight forward. I got the brisket mac and cheese. The gentleman running the place was the only one working it so we were prepared to have a bit of a wait, it cannot be easy to run a whole kitchen all by yourself. He was very friendly and helpful. We didn't have to wait nearly as long as you would think, definitely quicker than a sit down restaurant. Thankful that he wrapped my meal in foil within the recyclable cardboard container so I didn't have to worry about leakage or the thing falling apart. I loved this. The mac was creamy and flavorful, the brisket was melt in your mouth and so good. I also appreciated that he didn't drown the whole thing in BBQ sauce (too many supposedly good BBQ places do). Couple things that count against this place - price can be a bit high for people but you really get two meals for it. A somewhat unclear operating schedule. And for the mac, I thought, at first, it would have been nice to have the brisket broken up into the mac. But considering how easily it comes apart, it isn't a huge deal. Try this place!
