    Oh my goodness! This darling little food truck is an astonishing hidden gem! Seriously, the best food ever! The Cook and owner is the nicest person and I asked her if she was a chef because we were so amazed at the food. We had the poutine which was generous and delicious and had to take half of it home. We had the Smashburger, which was huge on a pretzel roll thatwas delicious and a BLT loaded with crisp Bacon! And the prices were amazing. You do not want to miss this wonderful outdoor eating experience. Cows and pastures, tables with umbrellas! Score.

    Decided to stop and get the cheesesteak poutine to eat while waiting for the ferry and wow! What a treat! It was a huge portion that my husband and I both could hardly finish! And a bonus was that it was on special that day! Super sweet and friendly staff! Will definitely be stopping by again on our next visit to the island!

    The burgers are juicy, fresh, and full of flavor – absolutely delicious. But the poutine? To die for. Crispy fries, rich gravy, and perfect cheese curds. This chip truck is a must-try!
