What reviewers complain about

We could not verify a standalone Google business profile with enough reviews to give this vendor a fair rating. We are saying that plainly instead of borrowing reviews from a similarly named business. No reliable standalone Google review profile was found Cheese-heavy dishes can become greasy Festival pricing may be high for a potato base Predicted specials were not confirmed

Our verdict

Try one focused item and share it before ordering more. Festival food is expensive, and the most dramatic photo is not always the best thing on the menu.
