I came across this food truck at a fair. Delicious! My meal was filling without leaving me feeling weighed down or guilty of eating the typical fried fair food. Even my husband enjoyed his "burger". I would challenge anyone with preconceived notions about meat alternatives to give them a try. Aside from the food, the service was friendly and the truck was clean and inviting. read more

I used to buy this food everywhere the truck went. This past we ordered food then two hours later we were both vomiting and the runs. Almost like they were pissed about something. The salad had a few leaves the rest was quinoa. Never again I guess the time to run to Porto Rico is calling. You lots many veg people. read more

Amazing The service is amazing and the truck is clean. I tried something different but I was so happy I chose the right food for the occasion. The salad bowls are the best for my taste. Thank you. read more

Today I visited the food truck! I've went to G-Zen in May and absolutely loved it! Their food is so fresh and delicious. Today, I waited in a long line for their famous sweet potato fries and their Epic Burger. The Epic Burger was insanely good! It was a black bean patty, pesto, veganaise, lettuce, grilled tomato, house made cheddar and carmelized onions on their house made bun. It was delicious! I got another one to take home to my dad. I love their fries, the best fries I've ever had. I will always be a loyal customer to g-zen! read more

I thought $9 was steep for chilly cheese sweet potato fries, but so glad I got them! I was full for hours and they were absolutely delicious! Could have been hotter, but the flavor was amazing. I'll likely be getting these again when I see the truck at the Billings Forge Farmer's Market. I was having a tough time choosing something because a lot of meals had cilantro, which I don't care much for. I made the right choice and was pleasantly surprised! Bring cash, cards are not accepted. read more

Every time I see this truck parked at an event, I am absolutely delighted. Since I can't eat wheat, I'm usually at a loss to find something amazing that I can eat from a food truck, but not in this case! I have had the live curry wrap, naked burger, live curry salad, jackfruit taco special, G-fries, raw date bar and various teas. The live curry wrap/salad is so delicious and has so much flavor that I am actually pretty obsessed with it, which keeps me from ordering anything else. Between the high quality of the ingredients and the creative flavor and texture combinations, you won't even realize or care that you're not eating meat. Chef Mark Shadle is not only a truly gifted culinary artist, but also very personable, even while he's busy running around in this mobile kitchen. Even if you're a carnivore, if you see this truck, don't miss out on all of the organic, veggie-filled yumminess! read more

I'm not usually drawn to the crunchy hippie way of dining - but I must say...when it's done well, it's done WELL. I tracked the GMonkey Mobile down at the Billings Forge Farmers' Market last week. After hearing such positive feedback from friends (ahem, unabashed carnivore buddies), I know I had to order Gmonkey's burger. This beautifully seasoned black bean chipotle burger came topped with toasted pumpkin seed pesto, vegan cheese & housemade catsup. Wow. Toss in some veggie chips for a taste bud's dream come true. As if that wasn't enough vegan badassery (if there is such a thing), we finished up with sweet raw date squares with sprouted nut crust. A balanced meal and a downright tasty meal. For food truck dining, this beats 'em all. read more

Gmonkey Farm 2 Street - food truck - Food Trucks Near Me - Durham, Connecticut

Went into Hartford today with the sole purpose of finding the GMonkey food truck! Boy was I glad I did!!! Everything on the menu sounded amazing but I ended up getting the vegan pesto grilled "cheese" because I have never had the opportunity to see that on a menu anywhere. It was delish!! The staff was super nice and helpful and they gave us complementary sweet potato fries. Talk about fantastic customer service. Thanks GMonkey for making the trip into Hartford worth wild. Will definitely locate you guys again. I want to try everything on your menu!! read more

Gmonkey gets an easy five stars. I'd give them six, or ninety, if I could. Today I visited the Gmonkey truck at the ReCreate CT even at Elizabeth Park. I chose to try their Chipotle Burger, because it sounded like it had a very distinct veggie burger personality. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. Their made-from-scratch veggie patty had great texture. Lot's of veggie burgers are either super processed, or a squishy mess. Theirs was neither. It had black beans and other miscellaneous goodness holding it together, and was topped with greens, tomato, and pesto. They served it on a really tasty, fresh roll. As an added bonus, the plate also included their delicious sweet potato fries, atop a spinach and shredded carrot bed, and smoked ketchup. Let's talk about this ketchup for a minute. Yes, it does deserve its own paragraph. It was so incredibly fresh, like someone was in the truck smashing and smoking the tomatoes to order. It was so good, I was daydreaming of all the other things I could use it in. It would be a great Bloody Mary addition, for example. Super yum. I honestly cannot wait to get back to Gmonkey. They had so many other menu items I wanted to try, like Peanut Soba Noodles. I will definitely get an entire plate of sweet potato fries next time too, if for no other reason than that heavenly fresh smoked ketchup. read more

WOW. This is my first time eating here and it is FANTASTIC!! I ordered the feisty monkey soba noodles and I could seriously eat them every day. The sauce has a small kick to it but its perfect with the cold noodles. And the beets? YUM! I love beets and their sweetness is the perfect complement. I also got the raw date bar and its heaven. I'm officially addicted and they have a new fan! read more

Before I met my match at GMonkey, the thought of vegan-only dining made my stomach turn. "How could eating only non-animal products possibly be filling?" I thought. Well, my friends, I'm here to tell you that GMonkey exceeded my expectations in almost every way possible. I had the pleasure of eating from this food truck at the Billings Forge Farmers' Market with a vegan friend of mine (fellow Yelper Biota H.!). To be honest, if it wasn't for Biota, I never would have considered eating from GMonkey simply given the price tag of entrees (on average about $10-12 each). I was also nervous about trying GMonkey because (1) I had the preconceived notion that vegan food was the worst of the worst -- both expensive and incredibly skimpy in its appetite-fulfilling power and (2) I was worried that those running the truck would be incredibly snooty towards newbies like me who didn't know what to do when walking up to order. Thankfully, neither of those worries came to fruition. When I (predictably) got to the front of the line with no idea of what to order, the woman in the truck seemed to completely understand my plight. She in no way rushed my order and introduced me to all the dishes as if I had never heard the phrase "live sprouted wrap". And best of all, she wasn't condescending. It's as if she knew that most people in line were curious about trying foods they hadn't eaten before, and thus she wanted to help them discover some truly delicious food. And delicious food it was. The sweet potato fries + Gmonkey's homemade ketchup were out of this world. The Run Chicken Run Wrap was some sort of culinary miracle -- filling, fresh, uniquely textured, and bursting with flavor (I swear there was some sort of delicious beet-flavored dressing, even though it's not listed as one of the ingredients on the menu). But wait, I skipped the coolest part of my story. Biota and I were among the last to order before the truck closed down it's lunchtime business. And for some reason, someone didn't pick up their Farm 2 Street Black Bean and Chipotle Burger. As we were picking up our order, the woman in the truck casually hands us the unclaimed Burger, and says, "Do you want it? It's yours...oh and by the way, we had extra sweet potato fries, so I gave you an extra half serving." Um, THANK YOU!!! If it wasn't for the high prices (and the blandness of the burger I got for free, which I really shouldn't be complaining about), I wouldn't hesitate to give this food truck 5 stars. But alas, I'm stingy with my 5-star reviews, even though I firmly believe that this is the best food truck in Hartford, bar none. read more

Recently, I was at a cancer walk event in Madison, CT. While there was tons of food available there, I couldn't really eat much due to my gluten intolerance--a problem I'm faced with at a lot of outdoor events. However, I soon happened upon this eye-catching truck setting up shop a few yards away and had to go check it out. I was blown away when I saw that all the food was extremely healthy, vegan, and most of it was gluten free. I was greeted almost immediately by the woman working in the truck, and she was very enthusiastic to let me know all of the wonderful gluten-free foods they offered. It was a hard decision that I had to mull over for quite awhile, but due to the chilly weather I had to go with the Black Bean Chili. I had only spent $6 and got a big piping bowl of chili, and it was the best chili I have had in my life. I couldn't believe that I had just ordered it out of the side of a truck. I went back later and ordered a gluten-free vegan energy square which, again, was one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted. I took a card for the truck's main restaurant, G-Zen, and plan on going there very soon, despite it being almost an hour away from me. To me, it's completely worth it, and I can already tell it's going to be my new favorite restaurant. If you see this truck, do NOT pass up the opportunity! You won't regret it. read more

Best Food Truck Ever!! Not only is the food incredibly tasty, but Mark and Ami are very kind and generous, and really care about providing their customers with the healthiest food possible. Now that spring is here, I'm looking forward to seeing them soon and indulging my sweet potato fry tooth every Thursday at Billings Forge this season. It's one of my favorite things about living in Hartford. read more

Everything that I have tried from G Monkey has been great! Their vegan grilled cheese and sweet potato fries are very tasty. The homemade ketchup is probably my favorite, but that may be because I am a ketchup addict. I have also tried the spicy soba noodles and certainly enjoyed those. I would definitely recommend tracking them down and checking out their food! read more

Gmonkey Farm 2 Street - Vegan grilled cheese and their sweet potato fries - Food Trucks Near Me - Durham, Connecticut

Oh yes indeed! I had Gmonkey for the first time at the Glastonbury Farm and Folk festival a couple weeks ago....and it was beyond words!! Vegan delicious awesomeness!! We ordered their version of a cheeseburger which was other worldly. It was probably one of the best I have had in life. Chalk full of veggie goodness, with yummy vegan cheese and a fantastic bun. Pair that with their heavenly sweet potato fries and house made smoked ketchup and you will be dreaming about this food truck for days! And for a vegan food truck they have SO MANY options! I need to try all of them for the love of it! Durham is out of my way but I would gladly drive out to have this goodness again! Best food truck EVER! read more

I was really excited when I found out that this food truck comes right across the street from where I am currently employed. I decided that I would go with my favorite co worker and try it out (she is not a vegan but she likes the food). Well we walked over and were thrilled that there was not a line or anything but my goodness when we looked at the prices for the food... I got the vegan grilled cheese and I thought it came with fries but apparently I had to get those separately, my lunch was $16. The sandwich alone was $9 and the fries were $7(it was a very generous portion of fries but I could grow my own sweet potato and make my own fries for way less). My friend got the soba peanut noodle salad. Again, the food was great but the price tag is not so hot, gladly it is only a 1 day a week thing. read more

This food truck is AMAZING! Had the pleasure of trying this creative & tasty vegan food at the Billings Forge Farmers Market in Hartford. Not cheap as far as food trucks go, but portion sizes are good...farm fresh, healthy, and green (not just the food & how it is sourced, but also how they fuel the truck to the containers & utensils!). Also tasty good-for-you tonics & desserts. Can't wait to go again! read more

Their food is tasty (I wouldn't say delicious, but tasty) and healthy. They are very friendly and you get the food hot and fresh. I only wish they took credit cards, but I only go to their food truck at the Billings Forge farmers market where I can buy coins with my credit card and use them to buy food from the truck. read more
