Food-truck born · Rhode Island raised
The crispiest friskiest
fries in town.
Loaded fries, smash-style sammies, four serious sides. Order ahead and skip the wait.
Our story, short version
Started on a truck. Stayed weird.
We rolled out of a parking lot with one fryer, a stack of paper boats, and an opinion about what a good fry should taste like. People lined up. Then they lined up again. Now we’ve got two brick-and-mortar spots — same fries, same energy.
