In the world of food truck offerings during summer in Ontario, I'm finding it harder and harder to find exceptional places to eat. Every truck seems to have its good and bad points, and this one was no exception.
We stopped here very hungry on our way north on Friday. I'd been to this truck a few times over the years, but not enough to remember what was good at it. We ended up getting a fish sandwich, chicken sandwich, and fries to share.
First off, I've got to note that the staff were very friendly and fun. A young girl (I'm talking 8 or 9 years old) was taking orders, with the supervision of her mother (the cook). This lent a nice charm to the place. It was a slow process though, as she seemed to be just learning the ropes, so I hope they found someone else to do the order and money taking once the crowds started.
Once we did get through the ordering process, paid, and got our food; everything except the fries was wrong. Wrong drinks, and wrong toppings on the burgers (not even close either - including tartar sauce on the chicken burger, and mustard on the fish burger, which we didn't order on either sandwich!). I definitely think this was due to the inexperienced order taker. I brought all items back for fixing or exchange, and they were happy, apologetic, and quick to fix things.
Now for the food: The fries were fine. Nothing great or terrible about them - just average chip truck fries. The fish sandwich was delicious. Full of flavour, and seemed a good size. The chicken sandwich was terrible. VERY over cooked and dry, and pretty tasteless to boot.
Cost was on the high side of average. Definitely not worth the meal we got. With so many other options out there, I think we'll be trying a number of other ones before maybe giving this a try again. read more
