    Shrimp Po Mo'Fo! That's what I had for lunch today and it was amazing. First time here and had a…read moregreat lunch with a coworker. Asked for suggestions for a great local restaurant and this is what we were told to come visit. Very extensive menu and everything looks amazing. Nice little dine in spot with some outdoor seating as well. Today was the perfect day so we decided to dine outside. My friend had a salad and said it was spicy and delicious. I had an order of onion rings to accompany my sandwich and they were perfectly done. Our server was extremely attentive and super friendly. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for an out-of-the-way sandwich shop that really delivers.

    There's been food trucks lining up 9th Ave between Pike and Pine during PAX in recent years, and…read morethis food truck/location from Burien was one of the vendors here. On a Monday close to 12pm, I stopped by here to have some lunch since I was pretty dissatisfied with much closer food offerings that are inside the Arch building itself. For their food truck they have several kinds of sandwiches and two kinds of meat bowls. Only sandwiches come with a side of your choice: you can choose among sliced baked potatoes, chipotle mac salad or apple jalapeno slaw. Staff made my order within 5 or so minutes, and took orders from other patrons as they came to their window. I got their el duderino which has sliced chicken breast, grinded beef chorizo, provolone cheese, cilantro, avocado and chipotle all in a telera roll. Overall sandwich was good but the chicken breast was dry. The choizo made up for that with its spice and heat, something that the chipotle mac salad I got on the side also had. Pretty spicy order overall that kept me going throughout the rest of the convention, and now I need to give their physical location in Burien a try!

    Okay - so let me say this first - HUGE FAN and I could not wait for Renton River Days to happen…read moreagain this year so I could visit my favorite food truck and partake in an amazing hot dog. And honestly, that does not do it justice. So yes, Sunday was fritos on top, the perfect relish - and just pure heaven. Then this happened! They asked why I didn't order the Maple Valley. And I was thinking - but didn't say - uhm, because it has peanut butter on it. And though I love peanut butter - I could not reconcile it with a hot dog. And boy was I WRONG! The combination of sweet and savory - the tiniest hint of peanut butter. I had no idea what was happening to my tastebuds, other than it was AMAZING! Highly recommend you find where they are parked - and regardless of what you order - just place an order. You will not regret it! And PS - love the team! Thank you for your service!

    It's been a few years since I came to the Renton Farmer's market, so I thought I would return to…read morecheck it out. In the past, it was busy enough, but not crowed. Today, it was elbow to elbow. Most booths were busy, some with lines beyond belief. I had looked at the vendor list ahead of time and thought I would give this place a try. I grew up with The Frankfurter. They still have their location on the dock in Seattle and opened a new location in Sumner a few years back, but as a kid, we often ate at the Seattle Center location as well as the several other locations they had around town before they all closed. The one and only sausage I would get was called, The Italian Hot. It was basically a hot link and their menu actually calls it that now. It's a pork and beef sausage with a legitimate kick. Dirty Dawgs has a hotlink on their menu, so that was my play. One of the females on the truck was very friendly, the other not as much. I was impressed with the size of the dog, most places serve a ¼ lb sausage, this appeared to 1/3 lb, possibly even 1/2 pound. On a heat scale, it might have been a 2/10, it had flavor, but no heat, reminded me more of the polish sausage Costco used to serve, but I would assume that was the pork content of the sausage. Initially, I wasn't impressed with the $8 price tag, but it filled me up completely, and proved to be a solid value based on the portion alone. My two knocks are small, but do prevent me from giving 5 stars. 1 was the heat level. I guess the trend is to call something hot, when it's really not. Flaming Hot Cheetos aren't hot, but even they are spicier than this. 2 would be the temp. it was warm, not hot. I like my dogs to have grill marks and I like a little sizzle when I bit into them. Again, I think this person is serious about what they serve and you won't regret giving her a try, but 5 stars is for flawless food, that is also lifechanging. That just wasn't my experience. Would love to see this truck on food alley before a Mariner's game, but that stretch is full of vendors grilling up dogs like it's a competition.
