Full disclosure, the first time I came here I was SO hungover that I'm not even sure I fully appreciated it But I came back, ordered the lobster roll again, and yep... THIS is why I keep coming back. Love the food truck vibe, love the atmosphere, and obviously I love a lobster roll.

The tacos were delicious! My favorite was the Korean BBQ beef short rib and my friend's was the…read morecayo fish. We loved both plus the yum yum shrimp. It wasn't busy when I went (at 4 PM on a Tuesday in early August). The cashier was friendly, and the food came out in 5-10 minutes. I liked the outdoor, casual vibe of the place. I'll definitely be back for the tacos again! Small tortilla but totally stuffed, and so worth $4 each for Taco Tuesday or happy hour trio.

Food has been undercooked, overcooked, skimp, or just lack of care I think. Witnessed a lady weighing pizzas at one point. Mike originally ran well. Now it seems profit is more important than quality service. Was my favorite spot for pizza here but I'd rather try my luck down the road. Used to be lively and fun. Now just depressing and sub par.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. My husband said the Frita burger was the best burger he's had in his entire life. The burger patty was a mix of beef & chorizo, and topped with pulled pork that was so uniquely different. I had the pulled pork tacos, which was some of the best tacos I've ever eaten. Our server was awesome at suggesting his favorite items from the huge menu. We will be back very soon for sure!

I'm so glad we wandered into this wonderful little place. The service was so friendly (if you want…read morerecommendations, you will get them), and the food was top notch. We got the conch fritters, pork tacos and the best Cuban sandwich I've had in more than 20 years. Would eat it all again as soon as I'm not full.

We were a party of 15, all seated and ready to order our meal. Drinks were already ordered. Not delivered. One of the young girls (three years old) was having a moment and crying. Her Dad tried to calm her down. Took her away from the table. The owner or manager, an angry man with horrible people skills, actually threw us out and insisted we leave. We are a respectable family and have NEVER been asked to leave any establishment. A complete disgrace. His concern was that the Dad of the little was rude to his staff. When the Dad asked how so, this angry man would not answer. Maybe it's time for him to retire??? Terrible situation. We will never, ever be back. Very sad.

Such a cool place on the water!

Came over to Caroline's because it was one of the less crowded spots but still located right there amidst the action.

We were able to get seated right away, however the service was a bit slow and we noticed people around us who were seated after us getting their food well before us. It finally did come and it was solid. Nothing to write home about but a solid option on the strip for some food and drinks. Wouldn't say I'd go seek it out, but if you're looking around and need decent prices and food and can't decide or everywhere is packed, you'll be safe with it.
