I can't say no to Jamaican cuisine, especially jerk chicken. So when I saw this food truck at the Dream Food Festival in NJ, I didn't hesitate to hop on line. I ordered their signature jerk chicken cheesesteak sandwich ($22 including tip). I waited awhile to get my order, but figured it would be worth it. At $19, I expected the sandwich to be huge. Nope... it was on the smaller end and underwhelming to say the least. There were way too many onions and not enough of the jerk sauce. I expected more of a spicy kick, but that was also lacking. I liked that the chicken was cooked fresh on the grill, but the overall flavor wasn't anything to rave about. read more

I got the chance to try the jerk chicken cheesesteak at the Philly street food festival and let me tell you, the long line is worth the wait. It is good and flavorful, and we were constantly stopped by others saying "that looks good" and asking "what is that?" and "where did you get that from?". So, if you're reading this and thinking about trying it, go ahead and do it! read more

we attended the glenside food truck festival this evening and placed an order for chicken wings. It took a half hour to get our order from the truck...after waiting for 20 plus minutes i noticed that an order of wings had come out of the fryer and an order hadn't been called in over 10 minutes. I went up to the truck window to ask if our order was up and the staff member said "oh no one called out these orders?" . There was no apology or responsibility taken. Our wings were cold when we received the order and not enjoyable. There was clearly zero sense of urgency and a lack of communication among staff members. My husband and I will not be repeat customers. read more

I had their Jerk Chicken cheesesteak. It was okay. A friend helped me eat it. They offer quick service and have a friendly staff! Food truck vibe. read more

The food was very great I will definitely send my friends and family. Try the jerk chicken nachos and the jerk chicken cheese fries. The oktails are soooo good. read more

Our night took a turn for the worst after Barcade lost my friend's ID. Unable to go back out to bars, we stumbled upon this food truck alley and it rescued our night a little bit. After a quick survey of the trucks (mostly mediocre takes on tacos) we decided on Grubaholic's jerk chicken cheese fries. I'm a big fan of any kind of cheese fry and these were pretty amazing. Service was quick, there were huge heaps of flavorful jerk chicken, and when my friend decided there wasn't enough cheese they were happy to add some extra! Thanks for turning our night around! read more

great food definitely recommended to my other frienda and family. Great service to definityly a 10/10

Hour wait at truck. Food was pretty good though. Not worth for the super long wait however.

At $12 for a sandwich, it was on the pricey side for a sandwich, but I did enjoy the jerk cheesesteak and thought it was flavorful and well seasoned. Definitely say yes when the cashier asks if you'd like onions. They basically make or break the sandwich because most of the jerk flavor comes from them. The only recommendation I would have is for the chefs to balance the seasoning more because I didn't taste any jerk flavor when my bite had no onions. read more

32 degrees and chilly windy outside, Grubaholics stood out in the bland winter like an oasis. Jamaican Jerk chicken has always been one of my favorite comfort foods therefore I decided to checkout the menu. Immediately I saw the Jerk chicken cheesesteak and ordered. The chicken are shredded into thin pieces, fully seasoned with jerk sauce, it is a little spicy and is perfect for a cold day with my stuff nose. I'd definitely go back to try their other items next time. And the service was friendly :) read more

My boyfriend recently turned me on to Grubaholics' food. The jerk chicken cheese steak is insanely good! It may be the best tasting and textured cheese steak I've had in Philly (lived here 25 years). The lumpcrab cheese fries were the real deal. Huge portion and served hot; so tasty!!! read more

Had no intention of checking this place out cause 1) I'm not a big cheesesteak fan, 2) jerk chicken usually doesn't impress me, and 3) prices seemed high for a food truck. But the pictures on yelp looked good so I decided to try it. The jerk chicken cheesesteak is a good sandwich. Probably among the better jerk I've had - moist, flavorful chicken with a kick, not overwhelming. Bread is soft, cheese is cheese. At $9, a bit pricey for a regular lunch, but competitive with the other cheesesteaks in the city and justifiable if you're craving one of these. A few days later, I found myself out of cash so I ended up here again cause they take credit and I really wanted to try the jerk chicken mac and cheese. Again, it was solid - not large, but just enough to get you full cause of the abundance of cheese, flavor was good. Again, $8 could be $6 or $7 for amount of chicken you get. All in all, decent food, but due to the price would only come if I were particularly craving it. read more

I met Richard the Big Papa of Grubaholics before I walked up to the truck. He was taking a break and we got to talking about Jamaica and recipes for adding carrot juice and stuff to stout to make brain food. His daughter was manning the controls and I was already happy I'd met the family before she handed me a heavy, heavy box of food. Jerk chicken, mac and cheese, rice and beans were all wonderful. I can't wait to try their highly-praised jerk chicken cheese steak which comes on a roll the length of a grown-up's arm from what I can tell from the video posted on their Facebook page! Repect you, Grubaholics! read more

Wow the Jerk Chicken Cheese Steak is amazing so glad I walked the extra bock to get this. I can't wait to try the rest of their items. read more

No show, no call to scheduled event. After being fed 3 different excuses why no call, no show for our event over the phone, I was fed another BS excuse via email. Too bad they did FEED the people at our event! Their loss! The organizations that attended our fundraiser event will NEVER book them again. Very unprofessional! read more

Their food is seasoned SOOOO WELL. I order from Uber eats right before they were about to close and the chef even added extra protein and sides for me. I had to thank them via IG, TWITTER and now YELP because they're so worthy. I git the Jerk Salmon, 7 cheese Mac & Cheese, Cabbage, and plantains. Chef added jerk chicken as well and it was THE best surprise. I love you grubaholics! read more

The seven cheese mac is very good and the jerk chicken is spicy just like it should be but the greens are fucking Glory greens that you get in the supermarket they need to make real leafy collard greens instead of being lazy and serving canned greens. Glory greens have too much juice in it just like their greens and too minced up. The rice and beans needs to have some spice added to it. it tastes too bland. if you want the rice and beans make sure you get some jerk sauce over top of it to add flavor read more

Went to the Philly wingfest today and tried their wings for the first time. Had the Olympic torch and chicken and waffles. Hands down the best wings of the event. Perfect heat in the torch made my nose run lol and the spice did linger for a min or two but def a great flavor not just a punch of heat. The chicken and waffle had perfect crunch and balance sweetness. Definitely gonna passes the word. Keep up the good work . read more

Thanks for checking in. My reference to the flag was clearly in jest. I ordered very late on 9/11 and as I said, I hope it was an off night. I agree, the young man who served at least makes the place warrant a 2- he had great customer service. Had it not been that late at night (11:30pm)I would have returned it but you know how it is when you get home after a long day. Perhaps one day, where it's not so late I'll go back and 3KOSDRN7VOZZ5MG6again and check back in. I think the fact that you're willing to invite a revisit speaks volumes to your customer service, may I even say hummingbird service. All the best! read more

We hired Grubaholics for a private party a few months back, and they were nothing short of exceptional. There were about 90 people, and they made sure everyone not only got served, but had enough to eat. Everyone (including myself) gave them rave reviews for the food and the service. If you are ever in the market for something unique to set your party off, I would suggest contacting Grubaholics...You will not be disappointed! read more

Great food! Jerk Chicken Cheese Steak was great! This place is a hidden jewel for the late night traveler.

5 * all day love this truck the jerk chicken cheese steak is awesome. The meat is tender it has a great sweet heat combo. Service is a plus it was a long line of people but they were so nice and accommodating while we waited, it's worth the wait. Second time I went it wasn't an event so got my sandwich less than 10 min. Try the mac and cheese great also. read more

I usually don't use yelp to write reviews but I just ordered one of the jerk chicken cheesesteaks from here and it blew my mind! It wasn't expensive and the grubaholics team were funny and friendly. I wish I could rate them higher. My overall experience was 2 thumbs up. I highly recommended this food truck. read more

Ordered after waiting in a long line and had to wait 45 minutes for my food. Disgusting.
