Best food in the area. We stayed at issah Tubbs and found this place and it blew out minds. Everything was amazing. Sausage on a bun was insane good. Cheese steak sub was unreal. And the munchies platter was insane good. The deep fried s'more was unreal. We ate at the restaurant at issah Tubbs and the food was a million times better at the Tambo fry truck. WE LOVED IT

I stopped by for a snack on my way to see Sandbanks Provincial Park. They make everything fresh and by hand. The portions are generous and everything was delicious. Most notable was their fresh squeezed lemonade. It comes in a 1L container with a whole lemon. I should have taken a picture. It was incredible! They have a nice little spot to sit outside that had a bit of shade thanks to the umbrellas. Shade lemonade happiness on a hot summer day!

Best burguer I have had so far in years. At first I was skeptical it would be that good but guess it was. The poutine was also good. I highly recommend the stop after spending the day in the beach

Excellent little one stop shop. Their wood was great for camping at Sandbanks and they had a canister of gas for our camp stove. Super personable and nice service. A good convenience store very close to Sandbanks Provincial Park. I suggested an edit for their hours as in the off season they are only open until 6 PM when I spoke with the owner. The parking lot is a little small but easy for quick trips.

Awesome food. Kevin and Angela are warms and caring. All the food is great and the stir has all your essentials close by. So you don’t loose boat or beach time.
