Perfect. Good rating, reviews look great, timing perfect. My mouth began watering in anticipation. We drive through Palatka and find Berndt Ends....CLOSED. We found someone out back and were told that they had a catering so they closed. No sign, no notice on the door or on the web, just disappointment that we couldn't try them out. Loved the looks of the joint. Loved the name (the owner/pitmaster). Loved the reviews. Just didn't get to love the 'Q. I would suggest a call ahead if you are traveling or not very near to this place. Rating? How? I guess I'll rate it 3 stars and hope someday to get back there and let them prove that they are a 4 or 5 star joint.

Great little gem, just off the roadside, plenty of parking and seating (indoor/ outdoor/ open air)…read more Good prices. Came on a Tuesday at lunch time and enjoyed the iced tea, 1/4 chicken (from the by the pound menu), "Crack" Mac and Cheese, and Datil pepper cornbread. The chicken was soooo moist and perfectly cooked, with a nice dark toasty skin. My companion's chopped pork sandwich was also Incredibly moist and well made. The cornbread muffins were adorable, tiny and their spice will creep up on you :) + great with butter. Waitress was polite and attentive. The area even had outdoor string lights and a fire pit for ambiance in the evenings.

I've been eating BBQ for over half a century and this is some of thee BEST BBQ I have ever had…read more They catered a Festival of Life event, for my best friend Tim, which happened to be on St. Patricks Day 2023 and I was priviledged to be there. I got a chance to meet Keith and Tanya before the event. They have a real nice set-up and keep it very clean. I could tell, that Keith was very passionate, about smoking meats. He told me, that he personally, hand selects, all their meats and that the wood, he uses, comes from Texas. He explained, about how he uses specific types and certain amounts of wood varities, for each and every meat, to bring out their full potential. As we were talking, the smell of that smoke was making my mouth water, I couldn't wait for the event to begin. I started out with the brisket sandwich, beans and slaw. The brisket was so tender and juicy, that I wanted to try it, without any sauce. All I can say, is that I am glad I didn't put sauce on it. It would've been a sin, to cover up all that great flavor. The beans! Let's not forget the cool beans. They were some of the best baked beans. I have ever had. You could tell, they combine loads of bacon, several types of beans and were made with love. The slaw has just the right amount of tang and sweetness. The mac and cheese was creamy and full of cheesey goodness. The rice, was cooked perfectly and had just the right amount of seasonings. I hate to say, that I took advantage of a good thing, but I did. I went back for 2nd's, then 3rd's, then 4th's and finally 5th's. I had a total of 2 brisket sandwiches, 2 pulled pork sandwiches and one chicken sandwich (all with sides, of course). If he's reading this review, then he'll know who I am, because all night long, everytime I started eating the sandwiches, I kept saying out loud "NO SAUCE!". It truely was, some of the BEST smoked meats, I have ever had and the only time, I have eaten that much meat. without any sauce. If you ever have the pleasure of meeting up with these good people, be sure to give them a try. Like me, you'll be hooked for life. I promise.

The beef melts in your mouth like candy. I've never tasted its equal!

For your company to blame the wedding coordinator for the drop off time frame and how it affected the quality of your food is unacceptable. This was the ONLY flaw at my daughter's wedding. My wife and I booked your company with the understanding that you offered an incredible Latin food experience and believe me it was far from that. The rice had no flavoring at all and and bland. The color of it was a shade of rice I have never im my life seen before (Soy Boricua, y eso ni se parece como algo que yo mismo perparo). I never knew arroz con gandules was made like that and could be that bad. The Tostones were the worst that I have ever had. If you know how to make tostones the right way, they would have been crispy, and yellowish texture and not looking like they were old (days old) and looked to be of the frozen kind and processed. Never knew reheating them makes them look aged. I've never seen dry Tostones and you should be ashamed as a so called chef. The pasta was dry and had little to sauce and looked horrible. The chicken, from my understanding and experience that was brought to my wife's attention was raw. I for one can tell you that your food had me in the bathroom numerous times after the wedding. Gracias. Smh. The pernil was debatable at best (Im happy to sell my recipe if you like because I know lor a fact that mine is way better than yours). For the money that was paid, the lack of quality and ownership on your part, I would never use your company or recommend to anyone that I know.

I ordered the rice bowl topped with tempura shrimp. Very disappointing. Where's the shrimp? Nothing but batter that I peeled away to get to the shrimp. Also, too much mayonnaise, very little slaw, and flavorless yellow rice. Sorry for the downer review especially when a woman (the chef) is doing business. I am a big supporter of women in business. I hope this review helps her step up the flavors of this particular dish. This is my first time trying this food truck and maybe other options are better. Good luck.

I ordered the Ribeye steak, side salad, collards and dirty rice. The two drier sides came in separate containers but the collars came on the plate with the steak. The steak was cooked past my request and was sitting in a bath of collard juices. My biggest turn off were the flies. I do not enjoy swatting flies while trying to enjoy dinner. May try again in the winter or if they get the fly situation under control.

This was our second visit to Velchoff's. We loved the fries last time so we had to come back to try…read moretheir other menu items. We got hungry after running errands so went out for dinner this Thursday around 6pm, parked on the street (free parking), and seated immediately by a friendly hostess. We chose to eat indoors since it was hot out (90's) so we sat at table 1 for the high top seats to accommodate my husband's height. There were around 5 other tables occupied and the rest of the dining area was empty. Our server was Boo and she had a delightfully bubbly personality, letting us know the specials and local origins of the food. We ordered Coke no ice, ginger ale no ice, cajun fries no bacon, well-done Swamp Burger, buffalo chicken bites, and a mahi mahi fish basket. My husband decided to use their restroom, which interestingly enough, are located outside around the corner of the building. I'm guessing this was done so the chefs in the cooking area (in the food truck) could use them easily. Our drinks arrived in minutes and appetizer (cajun fries) arrived around 10 minutes later. The rest of the food was brought out about 10 more minutes after that. The entire order was correct and made very well. Cajun fries were crispy with gooey cheese sauce and cajun spices. Fish basket was tasty and not fishy at all (yay!). My husband said his burger was good and not oily. All in all, cost was about $95 with a generous tip. We would come back for another date here, hopefully with Boo as our server again :)
