    My wife and I shared a Mango Chicken Rice Bowl at the Des Moines World Food and Music Festival earlier this month. The rice was pretty good, but our chicken was very grisly and fatty, and while the flavor was OK, it didn't make up for the sub-par poultry. From seeing reviews elsewhere it appears we may be the outlier and just got a bad serving, but it just wasn't very good.

    Outside the AutoZone on Mt Vernon Rd & Memorial Dr during COVID-19. Just happened to be driving by hungry!

    This place deserves way better than a 2-star review, so it is pleasure to include my own and boost the ratings. I didn't even look at Yelp before we went and I think I'm actually glad. We happened to be driving past when we noticed Caribbean Kitchen in a parking lot off of Mount Vernon Rd. We had intended to hike and then grab dinner on the way home, but decided to whip around and take advantage of this food truck opportunity instead. I was immensely grateful for a more unique option for takeout during the pandemic! We took a quick look at the menu and placed our order as the crowd started to develop around us. I believe this is a husband and wife duo and they were very friendly and accommodating. It started to rain while we were in line so we rushed home to devour our food. And I mean devour! I opted for mango chicken rice bowl with jerk sauce and my fiancé had the jerk chicken sandwich meal. Its quite a sandwich too! He said it was amazing and was so full he could barely eat his macaroni after. I was a little less impressed, particularly with the rice and beans though because the chicken was awesome! I just wish it had been a little larger portion size. That said, I made sure to grab a card and look them up because we would absolutely eat here again. We overlooked the special of the day which was essentially jerk rib tips so hopefully they'll have that next time too.

    Best Jamaican food in Cedar Rapids! I'm a regular customer that's had the entire menu and I can say everything there is amazing!

    Great food. Jerk Steak burritos are the best. Staff is super friendly and always on point.

    Chubbs BBQ - Combo Sandwich ( 3oz. Pulled Pork, 3oz. Brisket )

    Chubbs BBQ

    A no-frills food truck in a weird, but easy to find location. They have a handful of tables and…read morechairs on the lawn in front. Service was friendly and very quick. Prices are reasonable. The sandwich portions are generous and come with a small side portion and sliced pickles. The pulled pork comes without sauce and when we went, they only had spicy and blackberry sauce. As far as flavor, we agreed the pork was kinda dry but okay. I had the blackberry sauce, which I found runny and not so flavorful. My boyfriend had the spicy and said it was good, but the kick lingered in his mouth. My coleslaw was weak too. Overall, the location is perfect for this kind of meal. It's a reasonable price for what you get - sandwich, side, and drink. Probably great for local lunches, but we wouldn't go out of our way.

    Chubbs BBQ is a fairly new food truck in the Marion area and overall I must say I'm impressed…read more They are quick, well priced and consistent. The meat has a great smokey flavor and is very tender. The baked beans have quickly become a favorite and the coleslaw is a close second. They offer huge sandwiches which include 6 oz. meat, one side and a drink for $7.50 or larger platters for around $11. They never keep me waiting long and they have many BBQ sauces to choose from including some interesting ones such as cherry habanero and blackberry. They are usually located around the corner of 7th Ave. and 44th St. in Marion behind Arnold's motor supply. So if you find yourself in the area around lunchtime it's definitely worth the stop!

    Welp, Had the Saturday Night Beef Ribs. That was one of the best things I have ever tasted. It's…read more$$$$ for BBQ and I got 1.3 lbs of it. Curiosity led me here and CR brought it home. Had I not just had one of the best pieces of meat I have ever had the "Link" special was fantastic. Nice heat, casing snapped, and the flavors of "El Rey" shown through. Had to have some smoked baked beans to even out my stomach and they were great by then selves. Cooked and smoked long enough to have that smoke and thicker/sweeter sauce from the reduction on the Q. Just legit! Restaurant doesn't have any TV's and is served fast casual, but staff are attentive and active filling drinks and beers.

    If you haven't visited Midnight Smoker's new (and permanent) location.. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! Simply…read moreno one in CR does it like this place. Stopped in for dinner on Saturday and the line was out the door (which consistently stayed that way while I was there for about 60 minutes). Although the line to order (YES, you order your food at the counter and then go sit down) the staff was helpful and kind. If you're a fan of pork belly you MUST go on Saturday, it's only a special on this day. I tried a little of everything and I was blown away by the quality. The best items in my opinion: 1. Smoked Mac and Cheese 2. Pork Belly Sandwich 3. Ribs 4. Pulled Pork You can't go wrong with any of the options though, to be clear. There was one female worker in charge of the dining room and she is AMAZING. Courteous, patient, kind and pretty hilarious too. She was quick to tell us that she can order drinks via her mobile ordering device and we don't need to stand in line again for another drink.. much appreciated since it was SO BUSY! Top notch employee that I look forward to seeing again! The owner was also out in the dining space conversing with guests which is always nice to see. He even offered our table some special sauce not featured (which I don't want to put here because... secret) which was surprising and such a treat. The sauce was amazing, but who's surprised by that? I have been a fan of Midnight Smoker since their location in Newbo and I am so HAPPY this place is not only excelling, but are pushing boundaries and staying true to what they love. I will absolutely be back and I hope everyone has a chance to taste this one-of-a-kind place.
