Nice selection of beer. Open air seating so when it is hot out, find a table in the shade or under a fan.

Don’t have a single negative thing to say! Service was great! Beers were great! Ambiance is second to none on Franklin street, super cool concept! The permanent food truck is also fantastic! Spoken with the cook in there a few times and he is also so attentive and trying to perfect his craft (the French fries are insanely good). Well worth a visit!

Changing my review up a bit. The beer is still good, the staff friendly, the place unique, but the permanent food truck there really bombed it last time.

The guy cooking did not seem 100% stable and our food arrived over 45 minutes after we placed an order.

Go for the beer, maybe not so much for the food truck.

Ate here for the first time in a few months, and what a disappointment. They no longer have the pineapple chipotle tacos, one of the most delicious dishes I've ever eaten ANYWHERE. The caesar salad was completely devoid of any cheese. Got steak frites and 1/3 of the beef was fat and gristle. I don't know where they went wrong, but it's a crying shame.

This spot ROCKS! Love the upstairs fairy light rustic vibes. The Caesar salad is award winning. Mac n cheese was also impressive. They have a nice selection of beers too. Pretty casual, but in a nice way. Apparently the fries are delightful.

Would happily come back. $12-18 for food.

We showed up at closing time and they didn’t have anything left and we did not want to bother the chefs so we walked away and sat down. They brought out a huge plate of delicious fries to apologize to us for being closed, completely unnecessary but just a great gesture. Can’t wait to come back and try out their food.

If you read my reviews, don’t typically put five stars on all the elements but this place is for sure 5 stars plus . The atmosphere is great. The food is made from scratch and the service is outstanding. It is a hidden jump for sure.

The owner is a straight up bully. She is online putting other Chefs down for being "overly confident". It's sick.

$7.11 for a draft IPA. I'd rather go buy a 6 pack and drink elsewhere. The food truck was "overwhelmed" and wouldn't allow orders (placed only online) for about 1.5 hours. If you're fine with overpaying for beer and inconsistent food service, then this is your spot.
