Artistic fresh food delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Can't wait to see what this chef and his team do next. Larger venue? I hope.

I ordered the burger and fries for myself. And the salmon with broccoli and mashed potatoes for my husband. It was so good, we did not get a chance to take a photo! The burger was juicy and well seasoned, the fries were thick and fresh; The salmon was perfectly cooked, the broccoli wasn’t mushy, and the potatoes were perfect. Everything was made quickly! We will definitely be back!

Apparently, the truck is different from what I was lead to believe based on previous homework. I’m a truck driver, and I stopped at the TA intentionally to give this a try, because of the reviews that I did see. I was there at 3pm and I met the owner, Chef BZB. He said he didn’t open until 5, and as I turned to head back to my truck, he stopped me and said he’d be willing to open at 4- so that was nice of him. I thought that was more that fair, so at 4, I ordered the salmon, with pasta and broccoli. For $25 it’s easily two meals for me. And VERY good. Not overly seasoned, but definitely not bland and tasteless. It’s just right. Truck drivers- take The short walk across the busy street from the TA and enjoy a good meal!
