What People's Say About Place

Went to the food truck location in Zebulon. The food was delicious, biggest oxtails Ive ever had and they were so tender & tasty. Only complaint would be that my husband & I did not receive the plantains that were supposed to come complimentary with the entrees, which was what we ordered. Other than that, food was bomb. Id return

The oxtails were so tender, and savory. I absolutely loved the carrots and potatoes. It was seasoned to perfection. I appreciate the love that you put into those oxtails. The rice and peas was perfect. Mac and cheese was mid. But you get a 5 star because of the oxtails and rice and peas.

Really good food with reasonable pricing. Great customer service. In and out of the line. The Oxtails was full of flavor and falling off the bone, my side were also tasty

Who are these people saying that food is tasteless and dry? This food is consistently AMAZING! I love the oxtails.
