Scott is still out here selling some amazing food. I had their special Mac and cheese chicken bowl with a side of Buffalo sauce. I sat outside and got great service from a nice woman. It was absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. I'll be back!

*Food truck review! Great experience overall! I got the Poutine Fries. My first time having beer cheese and it was amazing! Fries were cooked perfectly, brisket was very nice with the brown gravy. Perfect flavor combo! Savory as ever! Hit the spot! They know what they are doing! Customer service is top notch! They've been at Tractor Supply on Eisenhower frequently.

We arrived too late for dinner service but we had a great time in no small part due to our server Kayleigh, she was an absolute hoot! The late night menu was perfect to help soak up the booze needed for driving on the road all day.

The best food we've had in Macon. Service was incredible, and the bottomless mimosas were FLOWING. Highly recommend everything we ordered! Fried green tomatoes, southwest chicken eggrolls, chicken and biscuits, Cobb salad, morning pizza pie, shrimp, and grits. Their country gravy was some of the best I've ever had! We may need one more visit before we head home.
