    Truck
    Gregory C.

    Big Creek BBQ Food Truck is located in an empty gravel lot right off the boulevard. The truck itself sits on a concrete pad, so I'm thinking they either own or lease the lot. Anyway, I was in town for a wedding the next day and decided to grab a late lunch here after our drive from NYC. Got the dozen chicken wing special, the half rack of ribs, Mom's Cole Slaw and asked for a sample of all their sauces on the side. Wings were good. My other half though their hot sauce was rather mild. The half rack of ribs were good also. The meat fell right off the bone. I liked them with the BBQ Apple Sauce. Mom's Cole Slaw was good too. No complaints other than the $40.00 price tag (which included a water and a root beer).

    Absolute the best BBQ I have had in a long time! We saw this food truck on the side of the road with smokers going- best advertising ever! We both had the Monday special- pulled pork sandwich with 1 side and drink. $9 I had the slaw and he had the beans. The sandwich was huge and had a nice semi sweet and spicy sauce on it. Huge amount of meat. The slaw was fresh and delish. Bean were smoky sweet. There are picnic tables but they were wet as it was raining so we ate standing up. I wish there was a place this good to get BBQ near me.

    Three and a half stars. Ribs are good, rub had some nice flavors that came through. Ribs were fall off the bone style with a nice juice bite. I appreciated that they weren't sauce slathered and you could add your own sauce. Pulled brisket tasted as if it had been steaming for a while after it was pulled off the pit. Likely kept in a covered warming pan. Both chicken and brisket were under-seasoned and bland as a result. Great sauces and a a variety of them. Sides were all good. Service was friendly but have to take a star off for not one employee wearing a mask. I get it. It's hot in there next to the pit - but I wear one at work all day and other restaurants do as well. Some older folks in line that could get really sick. We can all protect each other - no excuses right now.

    We hesitated because of the carwash where the food truck is parked until a local told us it was a must try. So glad we went back. Best bbq on our trip to white water by far. Excellent brisket and RIBS with mouthwatering whiskey heat sauce. If I'd have gone earlier in the trip, I would have come back a couple of more times. Portions were generous and the people are so sweet. I loved the low key atmosphere.

    We drove 45 minutes to visit Big Creek and it was well worth it!!! We arrived shortly after opening and already had several people waiting on line ahead of us. The ribs were fall off the bone and my husband loved the half pulled chicken and pork sandwich. We both agreed this easily will become a "must visit" spot for us when visiting the Poconos.

With two…read morefood truck options--burgers (always a solid standby) or Middle Eastern fusion--we decided to go for the more adventurous choice. Best decision of the day. Even with the huge crowd, Traveling J's was running like a well-oiled machine. Two people--just a chef and a cashier--were absolutely cranking out orders while still keeping the line moving fast. Impressive! We narrowed our choices down to two items to split - Gourmet Grilled Cheese + Garlic Cilantro Fries (upgrade) and Hummus with carrots & cucumbers. Add two cold drinks and our total came to $28.62. Not bad considering the generous portions. When we opened our to-go boxes, we were seriously impressed. The hummus was smooth and creamy, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with spices. The fries were crispy (not soggy!) with just the right kick of garlic and cilantro. And the grilled cheese? Perfectly toasted, melty, and stuffed with sweet, crispy bacon. Cheese was oozing, bread was golden, and it was everything a grilled cheese should be--and then some. The portions were more than enough for two hungry adults, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I even made sure to compliment the chef--he looked like he'd been hustling nonstop to keep up with the crowd, and it showed in the quality. Next time, I've got my eye on their fried Halloumi cheese. It looked AMAZING coming out of that truck. Bottom line: Fresh, flavorful, filling, and run by a hardworking duo who know what they're doing. Traveling J's is officially on my "must-eat-again" list.

The shaved fennel salad with grapefruit was bright, balanced, and refreshing, a perfect opening course. The root vegetables were thoughtfully prepared and deeply flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were rich, comforting, and impeccably seasoned. The braised beef short ribs were the standout. Incredibly tender, deeply savory, and cooked with a level of precision that is rarely seen in catered meals. Paired with warm bread and butter, the entire meal felt cohesive, elevated, and intentional. Justin is also a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He is responsive, accommodating of dietary preferences, and follows up personally to ensure the experience exceeds expectations. His commitment to excellent food and genuine customer service sets Traveling J's apart. I would recommend Justin without hesitation.

Fortunately I was in a group and we were able to split a half dozen donuts so that we could try a few different flavors. My favorite was the canoli and the Nutella maple.

Donerds Donuts is a locally owned small business that's well worth a stop when you're visiting Jim Thorpe. I learned that the owners met in Chile, where they were inspired to start a donut and coffee food truck. They sold their handcrafted donuts from a vintage VW bus on the streets of Santiago before eventually bringing their passion to Pennsylvania. Today, they have two locations, and I had the pleasure of visiting the Jim Thorpe shop. The storefront is charming, welcoming, and has a few seats where you can relax and enjoy your treats with a fresh cup of coffee. Best of all, everything is made fresh on-site. Their display case is filled with an impressive selection of classic and specialty donuts, along with colorful macarons, French toast cinnamon rolls, flaky croissants, and a full lineup of coffee drinks ranging from lattes to iced coffees. Honestly...wow! Deciding what to order wasn't easy. Since it was already midday, I kept it simple and went with a Boston Cream donut. It was incredibly fresh, light, and filled with rich, creamy custard, then topped with a smooth layer of chocolate. Absolutely delicious! A special shout-out to Sarah, who made the visit even better. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly helpful, taking the time to explain the different donuts and macarons. Everything she described sounded amazing, and she definitely had my mouth watering. I had to show some self-control or I would've walked out with half the display case! She was fantastic. If you're spending the day in Jim Thorpe, do yourself a favor and make a stop at Donerds Donuts. Grab a coffee, treat yourself to one (or a few) fresh donuts, say hello to Sarah, and support a wonderful local business. I know I'll be back the next time I'm in town.
