    food truck
    Maisune E.

    this review is for the food truck version of this establishment. the jamaican beef patty and spicy sauce was really delicious. the service was very prompt and the patty was piping hot when i got it. the price was $7 and i am not familiar with average prices for a patty so that seemed okay to me given the patty was the size of my hand and beef filling was oozing out. i would eat this again and try the other patties.

    I was so excited to try this when I saw the truck at the Water Lantern Festival but it was just okay. I ordered a Jerk Chicken patty and was expecting shredded jerk chicken with sauce but it was ground and was more like a beef patty. The pastry part was also just okay - no distinct seasoning or taste and I feel like there was more bread / pastry than meat. The service was good - workers were kind & quick. While I wouldn't try the Jerk patties again, I would love to try the delicious bowls I saw other people with!

    So maybe I can't go to Jamaica this year, but I can still taste some delicious Jamaican food right here in RI! Ja Patty is one of the most delicious food trucks that we have visited to date. Everything has the Jamaican feel to it from the drinks, to the rice bowls, and of course the patties. I specifically went on a day to try the oxtail rice bowl, and it did not disappoint! So tender and full of flavor! The beans and rice as well as the slaw went perfectly with this tasty dish, and every bit was equally as delicious. I got to try some of the jerk chicken, and it was very good as well. Flavorful, but I would not call it spicy, so don't be afraid to give it a try! We both ordered the traditional beef patties. As this was our first patty experience, we wanted to do traditional. I found it comparable to a meat pie, but one that you could hold in your hand. They were very tasty, and the crust was perfection! I will try some of their other flavors on our next trip. For desert we did the apple pie patty, as everyone absolutely should do! This is not the processed item that you would get at McDonalds, this is homemade Jamaican goodness! The owners are super nice people and their food is incredible! I don't care where you are, make plans to visit these guys today! It is so worth the trip!!!

The fresh wood colored paint on the truck shows off their rustic colors from the restauraunt. The coolest feature of the truck is the undercarriage lights. At night, the lights change color to the beat of the music on the truck! Now let's talk about the best part: the food! Rogue on the Road will be offering a similiar menu to the restauraunt. It is a smaller rotating menu, including modified versions of their main staples and truck specials. I was able to catch them at Buttonwoods Brewery at one of their first pop ups.

Crazy part is…read morethat not only is it on wheels as a food truck, it's a MUCH bigger than the usual food truck you're accustomed to. Having been around this long and operating at crazy hours that obviously cater to late night crawlers and drunken fools, you must have built some solid grit to be a dedicated feeding hole around a university/college town. The staff greeted me fondly as I walked through the door. If you've never seen this on TV or online before, you wouldn't have imagined a diner within a truck designed that way. You wouldn't have been able to tell the difference from them vs a small restaurant in a city. TV, lights, posters and everything anything restaurant that you expect was there...except for the chairs this particular night. I'm guessing they removed it to better handle crowds coming through...after all, too many people dining there, lining up, and trying to order food is a classic fire hazard 101 within such a small space. I am glad to have a chance to visit this time around. I've been wanting to try it for the longest time since seeing it on Man vs Food. However, I don't know why but I just wasn't craving a burger in the moment. Maybe if I did order the burger, this would have ended up as a 5-star review based on how most people rave about it. But for now, I'll glad to still say that I'm a true fan. The Haven Dog with celery salt was simple and a quick fixer-upper for anyone slightly hungry in the moment. The steak and cheese sandwich, however, is a loaded mother-f-fer with a LOT of sliced beef atop a TINY bun with some shrooms and peppers. All I could think about as I unwrapped it was someone trying a skinny jeans three sizes down, lol. Check them out!

The fries were incredible: perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and loaded with toppings without getting soggy. I ordered mine with blue cheese, chicken, and buffalo sauce, and it was honestly one of the best loaded fries dishes I've ever had. The staff was very friendly, and the customers--both locals and visitors--were welcoming as well. The only downside is that the restaurant is very narrow and small. If you're with a group larger than 2-3 people, you likely won't find seating and may have to get your order to go. I was grabbing mine to go anyway, so it wasn't a big issue, but it would've been nice to have the option to sit. Regardless, it was absolutely worth the walk and worth stepping inside. If I'm ever back in the area, I will 100% return.

It's a mountain of freshly and perfectly fried French fries smothered in gravy and graciously topped with Vermont Cheese Curds. Some bites are a mix of melty cheese with sauce covered fries. Other bites are salty, golden, crunchy fries. Either way, it's really bomb poutine! Love the casualness of these finger foods in a takeout container. It's the perfect snack to share (or not!), on the go, or during a music show. Service is friendly and somewhat fast, but the fries are worth the wait. There's a variety of options and I need to try others, but I like what I like!

I recently had my first experience with Polo Loco (I know, I'm a little late to the game). They were at the Jaws Movies on the Block screening last night, and I couldn't resist trying a couple tacos even though I'd TECHNICALLY already eaten dinner ;-) I tried the PBJ (pork, black beans, jalapenos, cheese, sweet chili sauce) and the Napalm (chicken, jalapenos, Napalm sauce, cheese, Southwest sour cream). Both tacos are a play on a well-known combo, and both are successful for an Americanized taco experience. First off, you have a choice of soft or hard tacos. I went with soft, and got these babies served on smallish flour tortillas. An authentic taco is served typically on corn, but flour is also quite tasty in this case. The PBJ is pulled pork sandwich meets taco. It has a slight sweetness from the sauce and the pork, with a bit of spice from the jalapenos. It's quite tasty, but also a bit drippy, so be careful :) The Napalm reminds me of Buffalo chicken. It's chicken and a spicy "Napalm" sauce which is pretty much a version of Buffalo sauce. The cheese and Southwest sour cream combine to remind me of blue cheese dressing without the actual blue cheese. That creaminess along with the Napalm sauce is definitely reminiscent of Buffalo chicken, and yields a very tasty taco. I see lots of love here for the Grande Tacos, and perhaps next time I'll try one of those. I also know the Green Monstah tacos are popular, and maybe when I'm hungrier I'll grab one of those too. I'd happily visit Poco Loco on future occasions. Although their tacos are not traditional Mexican in style, they are very tasty and satisfying. They're also very cheap at $2 a pop! Two thumbs up for sure!

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!
