    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.

    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.

    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!

    There bbq is absolutely the best in town hands down there specialty sausages are to die forread more

    2nd Stop...06/20/26 Repeat visit as we were in town for…read morebusiness.. Terri was with me this time and got the last burger they had as part of the Pulled Pork Burger so I tried one of the daily specials....a Cuban Salad Sandwich. Not quite sure what I was expecting but the sandwich wasn't what I was expecting. I'll describe it as a Cuban Egg Salad Sandwich...Cubanized by the pork and mustard it was a good sandwich but I was looking for more pork to be honest. I also ordered the Brisket Eggroll again and tried the Smoked Mac and Cheese this time...excellent choices! Terri enjoyed the Pulled Pork Burger as much as I did on my previous stop. She ordered the fried potatoes as a side and thought the addition of onions to it would be a good idea...I tried them and I concur, they were very good but the onion idea would put them over the top. We grabbed a 3 MEAT COMBO to go with Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, and Brisket as the main event and the fried potatoes, baked beans, and smoked mac and cheese for the sides. This will make for a great meal later and tomorrow which is also what I did on my first stop here a few weeks ago. We'll be back again as the food is delicious, the service is very friendly and accommodating and the ambiance of the place is very comfortable....when you get out of your vehicle and the business end of those two smokers hit your senses you know your in for a treat!
