I've heard people talk about the burgers here, and not wanting to cook in this heat, I wanted to give this place a shot.
I have to say, it was great. The burger was seared just right and cooked to perfection in the middle, retaining its juices without being too greasy, and it had great flavor that complimented the other toppings. They even give you a moist wipe to deal with the mess, haha.
The fries were great, some of the tastiest I've had from a local place. My *only* complaint is that they were a little heavy handed on the salt.
Definitely would order from here again.

Honestly I’m a huge foodie. I grew up in a place with a lot of fantastic food options. This place is up there on my list. Inconspicuous - but hands down making some of the best food in the Comox Valley. Definitely worth a visit.

It's a food truck slinging good burgers and tacos. Fries are meh. I don't think they are fresh cut. They have a decent outdoor deck with tables, good seating on a dry warm day. The view is a parking lot full of Ram Trucks.

Kids burger was $8, it just had a plain bun and beef patty (it seemed store bought). I had to ask to add mayo. Self serve ketchup. The Phat burger left me feeling ill, sauce is very rich. 3 kids burgers and 2 adult burgers with 1 large fries was $70 including tip. Had to wait a half hour for the food, it was busy at the fairgrounds.

Perfect for a sunny day, friendly staff, finished the burger in like 5 mins. Probs best burgers in the valley! Eat here on a sunny day or feel the need to treat yourself, it’s worth it.
Update!! , this place is glorious, I had their Phat Burger with fried pineapple and it’s perfect, normally don’t like cooked pineapple but hey the sauce and burger with the pretzel bun work perfectly. Had their Mac n cheese bites too, with a side of sauce and it’s great! Big shoutout to the people who run it!
