Great little lunch spot right on Northshore! We had been meaning to try it for quite some time and I am so happy we finally got here. In my son's words, they had the 'best waffle fries he ever had'! We had the vegetarian pasta, cheesy bread, waffle fries and crispy brussels...all were delicious!

I had heard great things about the food and finally decided to try. I was torn between the macaroni and cheese and the penne. I went with Stranger than fiction and an unsweetened basil iced tea with the s'mores bowl for dessert. It was amazing and I had leftovers of both, which was so much better the next day!

One of my favorite things about food trucks is how they go over-the-top with their flavors. Penne For Your Thoughts has definitely translated that to their restaurant!! So good! Everybody is so sweet here! And I love the Waffle Sunsphere!
