A food truck only 10 mins away from the Cove. Don't be fooled by their location; their burgers are amazing and french fries are probably the best I've ever tasted anywhere. They also offer a variety of food including hot dogs and fried catfish. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. I recommend calling in ahead of times for pick ups, but they have an outside eating area too.
