Nevertheless, the remaining choices are still really good. You can see in my picture I bought half a dozen. The Boston cream is always a mainstay and a favorite. Who doesn't like Boston cream? (If you don't, you are not my friend! ;) ) The matcha green pistachio ring donuts are really good. Anything with matcha cream frosting here is really good. The pink one on the bottom left is the Homer. Yes, it's Homer Simpson's donut! And it's delicious! The matcha green ones with oreo cookie crunch are filled with jelly. Yums! Every donut is a winner. The previous week I had a Maple Bacon ring donut. The "bacon" was made of crispy fried coconut shavings. Truly yums!

Vegetable fried rice only had those frozen veggies which was disappointing but guess I should've expected it. Chicken wing was well seasoned and delicious though.

So let me start by saying I will give this place another try in some weeks…read more I got there around 10:40am and the whole entire pastry display was empty save one scone. Not sure how that works being they close at 3pm. They did have two jars of cookies. I was disappointed to also find out that they don't make the pastries in house. When I asked about this, the worker behind the counter didn't at least tell me where they get them. I asked if the matcha was ceremonial grade and the worker gave a vague response that did not answer the question. The matcha was also very bland. I also got one of the cookies, oatmeal raisin. It was pretty "meh". I will say it was huge and only $3, so there's that. The atmosphere also lacked personality. I've just moved to the area and have been looking for a great cafe and so far haven't found "it" yet. I'll keep looking!

Unfortunately, since we got to the event late (thanks for that, SEPTA) we also got to the truck late. The line was cut off right in front of us after we had waited for several minutes. Not giving up, I located their truck at today's Flight Market. Again, since I ate first, the line was quite long. Maybe this is just a thing at food truck festivals? It was the longest line of my day, though. When I [finally] reached the front, I paid my $4, waited some more, and alas, was handed a French Toast and a Captain Cranky. My first thought was that they were smaller than anticipated -- especially for that price tag. Still, I was excited, happily shot a photo, and bit into the French Toast. Aaaand all I could taste was grease. I understand they had just come out of the fryer, but... what? It did not taste like French Toast in the slightest bit, which was a bummer. Next up, the Captain Cranky had a strawberry glaze and captain crunch on it. I told my friend that the topping was the best part. This one was otherwise just as greasy. I realize they were likely overwhelmed by the number of people wanting their donuts, but I do wish this had been a better experience. If I ever stumble upon them in the city, I'll give them a second try, but I certainly won't go out of my way to wait in a crazy long line for them again.

tl;dr the fish po' boys at this Mount Airy sandwich shop are fantastically delicious and hearty,…read moreovershadowing even the terrible service Gilben's is a family-owned soul foodery best known for its signature po' boys. The 3 interconnected shops -- the Bakery, the Creation, and the Smokehouse -- collectively sport a brown-and-pink storefront, immediately popping out from a dull and industrial block. The stores are all slightly tacky and run down, but each is otherwise uniquely decorated. The takeout-only Bakery (home to sandwiches and baked desserts) has lime-green walls decked with large, sentimental paintings. Wall-mounted flat screen flash pictures of menu items with Microsoft WordArt text. The bakery display is relatively barren, and Christmas decorations have yet to be taken down. Old-school R&B playing up front clashes with modern rap blasting from the open kitchen. GIlben's seafood hoagies called to me as the perfect Lenten eats, and a buddy and I recently journeyed to Mount Airy for late Friday lunch. We had no trouble finding free street parking just across the street. We split 2 sandwiches: the Fried Shrimp Po' Boy and the Fried Fish Po' Boy, both upgraded with melted cheese and sauteed onions. While you can't go wrong with either protein option, we agreed that the shrimp was more flavorful, while the fish was more texturally aesthetic. The monster sandwiches -- each at least twice the size of an ordinary po' boy -- were half-wrapped in aluminum foil and then squeezed into the largest Styrofoam takeout boxes I've ever seen. The seafood was lightly battered and heavily seasoned, then stuffed alongside shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes into extra-large, toasted French rolls (accurately described as "garlic bread"). They were then hosed with a house rémoulade that had a vibrantly rich, tangy flavor to match its neon-orange color. The end product was as delicious as it is messy -- but, notably, no napkins are to be found without a dedicated search. Why one star off? The painfully inefficient service. I had placed my order 30 minutes in advance. Not only was it not ready at my scheduled pick-up time, but the staff hadn't even done anything beyond printing out the ticket. The cashier shrugged and quoted us another 15 minutes. Other patrons placed their orders in person (so at least 30 minutes after we had ordered) and received their food at the same time as us. And, after we did have our meal, most of the few two-seater bartops were taken by employees taking personal phone calls, and trying to wave down a staff member for a napkin felt like searching for water in the desert. Lastly, the queue at the Smokehouse was shockingly long even during the off hour: some folks stood in line during the entire duration of my visit. The sandwiches start at about $15, raising in price with upgrades (such as additional toppings or premium protein options), and each can fill you up for an entire day. Although GIlben's is a takeout-centric operation, I can't imagine the po' boys holding up against even a short trip home -- the sandwiches began descending into a soggy mess before I had even taken a bite. Regardless, Gilben's po' boys are unbeatable when fresh, even compared to New Orleans.
