He assured customers that they can expect the same level of quality and service from the team at Smokey Trotters, with a menu that includes their famous burgers, breakfast options, and a range of bodega buns. The community of Ibrox is encouraged to show their support to the latest addition to the neighborhood, continuing the tradition of good food and friendly service that Good Times Roll was known for.
