The bacon is to die for.
Kole hansenNovember 9, 2012
The Mac and cheese was awesome but the burger left something to be desired. The only real down side was the amount of time it took to get food on a slow night, 25 minutes for the starter.

Ice cream = $1 cheaper if you buy it from the cart (vs. off the menu). Chocolate = da best. Salted caramel is good too.
