Poor customer service! I spent 40 minutes waiting for a plain hot dog (which was not well cooked) and a order of fries.

Took 45 minutes for a buffalo dog and they forgot the ranch. And onion rings where they forgot the sauce. 7 dollars tiny hotdog, would never go back.

Washington St, front of Newark Public Library courtyard…absolutely delicious freshly made veggie burgers…choice of toppings and I loved that the tomato was red not that pale pink thing other vendors pass off as a tomato. If you’re in the neighborhood, don’t miss it…great selection of dogs, burgers and fries! And there’s music in the courtyard today! Hurry on over.

Great food with a very kind, curteous and efficient staff. The truck and equipment is brand new and clean. High quality food and a fast preparation of all types of burgers, hotdogs and fries with a plethora of condiments and toppings. You can even call them up to preorder your meal. Highly recommended!
