The dude ended up getting the sausage dog with the works. The food cart actually smelled delicious but I didn't get anything as I wanted to save my appetite. The dude said it was very good as he would get it again. The owner was very friendly and helpful and appears they have a pretty cool business going on! They have cold beverages as well. I believe the sausage dog was $5 which wasn't bad at all! Give them a try! Especially if you need a snack on your beach day!

Our kids would not have lasted the drive to Santa Cruz with no lunch so this was very convenient for us. They serve burgers, nuggets, fries, ice cream, chili, and coffee. Cheeseburger, slightly on the smaller size so not so good for sharing. Tasted OK, would be good to pair with fries or chips for a more complete meal. Chicken Nuggets and Fries, these were also OK. Nuggets needed a bit more seasoning but the fries were hot and fresh with a good amount of salt. Extra stars for staff who dealt with a super-rude customer. He was cursing at them for letting someone "cut" in line in front of him literally only taking a minute to order and he was waiting in front of the window instead of to the side like everyone else.

I would like to think that Im good at choosing places to eat, but moving to Santa Cruz continues to challenge my confidence. Its gotten so bad, that ive reached a point where I won't try new places out here with other people because of this fear that ive. built up not wanting to dissatisfy someone else with a terrible meal. I decided to give this place a shot because I was craving chicken wings. The pictures all looked pretty good but when io got my order the wings were soggy wet with I dont want to know because I ordered a dry rub chicken wing and instructed to put the sauce on the side if there was any sauce in efforts from letting the wings go soggy. nI just about opened the box and at first glance I reluctantly gave it a sniff, and immediately gaged. I didn't bother to try a single wing because of how disgusted looking and smelling this... some sort of food people actually eat???? I was so disappointed and just in such shock on how a simple business of chicken wings would be that messed up and that unappetizing this order screamed. I even went over to one of my housemates who had this immediate look of disgust and said,'Oh no, girl. it looks like they need to be heated up" I should have known that this place wasn't going to be the cream of the crop and that if I had any dream of being a detective there's just no way. I should have made the connection looking at the pictures and prior reviews. If you're thinking about chicken wings you're better off going to wingstop or airfare frozen wings.

The fries we saw in previous google reviews that looked thick & battered were not what was there now. Instead it was tasteless shoestring fries. Service wasn't bad, but also no real effort given either. We said "not sure we want Betty's lube because we don't know what it really is" & the employee didn't offer an explanation of the sauce or suggest we try some on the side. She just said nothing. So we skipped it. Atmosphere was okay. Again nothing wow super cool decor but it was clean. So ya 3 fits the whole experience. Not bad but not anything that made us want to ever come back or tell others about. Paid $50 before tip for 2 burgers, 1 fry to share & 2 can ciders.
