Last weekend, we attended my cousin's 60th birthday bash in Rhode Island. Her partner and sister…read morehosted the event and used Shuckin' Truck (along with two other caterers) to provide the food. The party was held outdoors in their pretty yard under a tent. Shuckin Truck was an absolute hit! They set up the outdoor raw bar...clams (littlenecks), oysters, and shrimp on ice, in a very attractive manner. The table was manned by a charming "shucker". There were an assortment of passed hors d'oeuvres which included lobster grilled cheese lobster triangles...these were indescribably delicious. Everyone was oohing and aahing over these. I also loved the smoked salmon on toast and the small cups of really tasty clam chowder. All the appetizers were incredibly delicious although I would say the lobster grilled cheese was the biggest hit. All of the staff were polite and friendly. After the appetizer round, the lobster rolls came out and they were simply spectacular. They were true New England lobster rolls on toasted square edged (this is key) frankfurter buns, and absolutely stuffed with chunks of delicious lobster meat that had been lightly dressed with mayo. Those rolls were out of this world, deliciously prepared and very generously filled with sweet lobster meat. They also served fabulous fish tacos. For the non-seafood eaters of which there were none at this party, they served a pulled pork taco which was spicy and delicious. The portions were generous and the food just kept on coming out. While there was plenty of additional food at this party from other vendors as well as some homemade additions, Shuckin' Truck was my favorite part of the overall feast. Great job! I would not hesitate to hire them for a party or to seek out the food truck wherever it was parked!

I'm a tough critic when it comes to food, and they get no notes from me. Every dish was a standout. I've never heard of a scallop roll before, but I want 3 more of them right now. And the lobster grilled cheese will forever hold a special place in my foodie heart. Awesome job guys! Highly, highly recommended!

It's not often that you get two different sandwiches that're great but their fried chicken sandwich and brisket sandwich were both amazing. Great flavor, fresh.

No complaints in the service department at all. Food: I ordered the Mac and cheese croquette w/ lobster & street corn. The corn was perfectly grilled and very flavorful. The Mac and cheese croquette had a nicely crusted exterior with an amazing combination of flavor in the Mac and cheese and lobster! I honestly have no idea how no one has reviewed this food truck!! Must try!

The Italian Stallion at Little Country Pizza is not just food - it is a culinary adventure!…read more Imagine this: pepperoni pizza folded like a calzone... then stuffed with a full Italian grinder. Yes, you read that correctly. It is layers of cheesy, meaty, pizza-y perfection in every bite. It is delicious & wildly creative!

**November 2025: Sunday Late Morning Visit**…read more I had ulterior motives to coming to Little Country Pizza as my friend and I had been Dambo Troll hunting all morning and I was in dire need of a bathroom. We walked in thinking we could probably grab a drink or patron the restaurant to use their facilities and were greeted by the host with open arms. I asked what their shop was known for and she immediately said the Italian Stallion was their claim to fame. My friend and I decided we could share one. The ambiance is very casual and homey. As we waited I noticed a table of self serve water along with some board games. I helped myself to a glass and was started by how crisp and clean it tasted. I drank 4 glasses of that refreshing water and even complimented it to our waitress. She proudly thanked me and said that it was well water and the same water was used to proof the pizza dough. We did wait a bit (maybe 20 minutes or so), but it looked like it was made to order and we demolished the pepperoni calzone, sandwich. I never thought to have a pepperoni pizza as the bread part of the sando and the crisp lettuce combined with the pungent raw onion gave ever bite a different texture and burst of flavor. We were happy campers. I'm still thinking about that well water even a week later. I would definitely come back again.

My favorite thing to get is the single enchilada with salsa verde, which is literally under $4. The chips and queso are also super tasty. My husband always goes with one of the burritos. I also love their kids menu since my son is always down for a bean burrito and some chips. Ordering online is super easy and it is always ready when they say it will be. I've dined there a few times and its definitely a casual spot. The only downside is that parking lot gets crazy tight, so I generally prefer parking on the street.

Stopped in for RI Food Fights' "Taco Mania!" and had a great experience!…read more The space is clean, bright, and welcoming, with sunlight streaming through the large glass garage doors that open up for a breezy, al fresco feel on warmer days. You order at the counter, where the staff is super friendly and helpful, and they bring your food right to your table -- a nice casual touch. I tried one of each taco -- Adobo-marinated chicken, steak, and pork -- topped with shredded lettuce, cilantro, and I chose the Del Diablo salsa. Each taco was moist, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. The salsa added a great kick without overpowering the flavors. A solid spot for fresh, satisfying tacos and relaxed vibes -- I'd definitely come back to try more!

It's a small, cozy spot with just a few tables and countertop seating, plus a couple of outdoor tables that are dog-friendly. The truffle mac & cheese may be one of the best vegan mac & cheeses I've had in a really long time. So creamy, rich, and absolutely delicious. The cauliflower bites were another favorite--fresh, crunchy little nuggets tossed perfectly in honey mustard. I originally thought the sauce would come on the side for dipping, but I actually loved that they were coated so evenly. So good! Hubby had the Rubenesque sandwich, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. There was also a steady stream of people picking up online orders and grabbing food to go, which definitely made us feel like this is a local favorite. I'd definitely recommend grabbing a meal here, or taking it to go for a beach picnic or to enjoy at one of Newport's scenic spots. And if you're looking for coffee and heading out of Newport, seriously recommend Simple Merchant House. We stopped there right before Sprout & Lentil, and again as we were leaving Newport on our last day. After lunch, we looped back into Newport to visit The Breakers and Marble House, making for such a fun day.

Smaller shared parking lot to be mindful of here. Very welcoming staff that provided a great overview of the menu, drinks, made to take items and weekly specials. Casual relaxed atmosphere here with some music jamming in the background. Window bar seating if you are on your own or tables for four if meeting for a quick lunch bite. Started with a small chili which was fresh and full of flavor. For the main went with the Tuesday special with the recommended fish tacos (hearts of palm layered with nori flakes, crisp grated carrot, and shredded purple cabbage and a sliced jalapeño. Crispy tortilla with side of beans and rice). You can add a fresh pico and guac for additional prices, had both and were delicious! Assortment of drinks in the fridge along with some premade items (staff said it is rotational items and prepped earlier in the week if you want to max your options). After eating here can see what all the buzz was for a standout vegan option on island. A group came in after me and ordered a pizza that looked awesome as well. Will be back to try more of the menu when able!!
