The relatively small size of the location is deceiving, as the selection is vast. They have condiments, dressings, and sauces galore - many ethnic and imports. Frozen goods included lobster ravioli and gourmet treats. Refrigerated goods include enough cheeses for an epic charcuterie, eggs, and dairy. Their snack aisle is equally diverse; with asian crackers, Italian cookies, chips and snacks of all types, and enough candy to fill the best Easter baskets. Their household selection was nothing to rave about, but they did have an interesting variety of supplements and health and beauty products. If all that isn't enough, they also have their own in-house bakery featuring fresh loaves of bread and cookies. This grocer is definitely worth a stop if you appreciate a deal!

You wouldn't know it by the outside of the building, but this place is awesome! I would highly recommend it. They are growing and growing it appears as I talk to the owner. They run out of food every day at around 3 PM so you need to hurry in when you can. They have a lunch special every day from 11 to 2 and it's a pretty good deal.The only one thing that I would say that they should change, is the way you order their food. you have to knock on their closed windows to get their attention, which is a little weird. There also is no signs telling you what to do. So I just kind of had to figure it out on my own. But again, overall a good four stars and pretty darn good barbecue read more

It's standard food cart ambiance, parking was a little weird, but not horrible. Right off I-5 at the Jefferson/Millersburg exit (238 I think?). The ribs were tender and delicious without sauce, but when you add a little mango habanero sauce it kicks them up a notch... the brisket was great. The pulled pork was my least favorite of the three meats I got, but even that was tasty and juicy. I got the BBQ beans which were quite good if nothing fancy. The cowboy corn I like but the jury is out for my family... needless to say it will all disappear. The servers were friendly, even in 95 degree heat. As far as value goes, there's enough food here to provide my family of 4 with two decent meals each. For $75 that's not bad especially since everything tastes good. Give'em a try!

No worries Kento, I would follow you anywhere. It's around $13.50 for a combo plate (I get chicken and steak) and I think that is absolutely reasonable. The other food trucks in the area charge maybe slightly less but you get cold, mediocre food. I would gladly pay for a plate of fresh made food that feels like it comes right off a hibachi grill.
