    Cornbread loaf
    Emily R.

    We ventured out on a rainy Sunday evening, our first time trying this cart. The two folks working were incredibly kind and helpful, giving us some insight on spice levels and such. I had the brown stew, which was the PERFECT meal for the weather. So comforting and warmed the soul. My husband got the jerk chicken, nice heat without being too much for him. It was still juicy and I loved the bite he shared. We shared the plantains, though I ate more than half because they were so darn delicious. I was worried they'd be too sweet but they weren't. And my husband got the cornbread muffin which was a hit, the flavor was just different enough to let you know it wasn't your grandma's recipe, but one that improved on an old standard. The only thing that was missing was some butter to slather on. We ate inside the Thinking Tree café and had a beverage. The good folks at Irie brought us our food and we had to bring a bit home, so the portions were large. We both recommend this wonderful cart!

    Fried plantains!!

    Really, really good. We ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken meal, brown stew meal, and the fried plantains (a must!). Portions are HUGE and we had quite a bit of rice leftover for later, which I'm not complaining about. ;) The brown stew is amazing--super tender chicken and bursting with flavor. Highly recommend that dish. I found the jerk chicken (served drumstick + thigh) to be a bit dry, however, spiced well. I'm not sure if it was the chicken itself or the sauce it comes with, but something was packing a lot of heat...in a good way, but it might be a bit much if you are sensitive to spiciness. Irie doesn't have the Sorrel drink on their menu currently, which I was a bit sad about since I really wanted to try it. Hopefully, it comes back! We stopped by right at the lunch hour on a weekday so we had to wait a bit for our order. Irie does offer online ordering through their website, which seemed to be the trend as we watched multiple people just walking up to pick up rather than order at the window and wait. Fortunately, it was nice weather out so we could hang out by the fountain while we waited and didn't mind. But if you are in a hurry or just too famished to wait, you may want to order ahead!

    I've never had Jamaican food before and all I have is just one word...plantains! Ok, maybe three...plantains, sorrel, and brown stew tofu! Oh wait, that's six words...anyways, I have many nice words to say about this small family owned food cart currently located at 8th & Oak. I've been wanted to try Irie for a while now, but as a vegetarian the meal options for me were limited. That is until this week when they added Brown Stew Tofu to their menu. I saw that and I immediately hopped into my car to finally order some takeout. The sweet ripe plantains may be the most heavenly thing I have ever eaten. The soft texture is so satisfying combined with the subtle sweetness from the caramelization of the plantain. I could eat these everyday of my life if I could. Jamaican Sorrel is a type of punch that is made from dried hibiscus flowers and Irie adds a little ginger to theirs to give it a nice little kick. It's a very well balanced beverage with it being sweet enough to tone down the tartness of the hibiscus but not sweet enough to feel like a heavy sugary juice drink. Thank you so much for adding the Brown Stew Tofu. I loved the texture of the tofu and it perfectly absorbed all the wonderful and flavorful seasoning and spices. A great addition for sure. I will be returning here and I can't wait to try the Ackee dish. I heard Ackee is awesome.

    Overall I recommend eating here. I ordered the Jerk chicken plate with rice & peas(beans). It came with steamed cabbage and a jerk bbq sauce on the side. The jerk chicken itself was fantastic and had a good spice level. I really liked the steam cabbage but the jerk bbq sauce was epic. The rice and peas were just okay because they were a little dry and might have been sitting for a while. Also the price was reasonable at $8.50. I will definitely be back to try more.

    Amazing service! Like all you students out there know, running from class to class gives you very…read morelittle time to eat. I happened to come out to the Foodtruck as they were closing up. Feeling starved and hangry I stood hoping for something..anything! The employees on the Foodtruck were so kind and took pity on me they offered to make me some chicken strips (all that they had left). The truck was clean, attractive (the wrap on the truck is very eye popping and lets you know exactly where they are). I was also told during my wait, that you can also download the app to be able to order your food ahead of time so that your never late to class or miss out on eating! How awesome is that?! So next time you're on campus at LCC and you are hungry and need food, you can either order counter side or place an order on the square app! Never go hangry again!

Their burgers are superb (although, I'm personally not a fan of their "crush sauce") and cooked exactly to order. If it ain't right, it'll be fixed. If a burger isn't your thing, they have a selection of other options including but not limited to Chicken Strips & Fries, Fish Sandwich, and Brats. If meat isn't your thing, they have also have a vegetarian based menu. Great food!
