Sooo delicious and friendly service!!! I look forward to whenever they come to my office. In fact, I went into the office today just because they were gonna be there. I always get The Big Easy which has dirty rice, jambalaya, red beans, and corn maque choux. It's a great sampling of all four yummy items, and bonus, it's a large meal so can definitely get two meals out of it. All are super tasty with a smidge of spice but not too much. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a super tasty, filling meal. Definitely worth seeking them out! read more

This truck came to our building. After seeing what was on the menu plus the good reviews on Yelp, we were eager to try their food. Once again, we arrived when they opened for business and were the first customers. The lone man working the truck was very friendly. As we looked over the menu posted on the side of the truck (to make sure there were no changes since we first saw it online) he said "Cajun food". To which we said "Yes!" We ordered shrimp etouffee and dirty rice. After we brought it all upstairs and dug into it, my husband started raving about the etouffee. He said it was a 5 star dish. While I liked the dirty rice, it was on the dry side and I thought they were a bit heavy handed with the spice making it almost take over the dish. Yes, I know Cajun food is spicy but personally, I would have preferred if it was toned down a bit. We had some leftovers which we ate the next day and they held up really well. Overall, this was one of the better food trucks that so far have come to our building. And, yes, if the truck comes by again, we will be there. Next time I will try the gumbo or the jambalaya. read more

Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious! Hands down the best food truck I've had in years. Our new condo community is fortunate enough to host Jambalaya Bros on Monday afternoons this month of February. We happen to walk by and decided to try a few dishes. My go-to Louisiana dish is shrimp po-boy but they don't do fried foods. They arrive early to prep their dishes fresh. We ordered "Best Thing on the Truck" aka Jambalaya with chicken and sausage and topped with shrimp etouffee. Also ordered Shrimp Etouffee meal with beans and corn. This shrimp dish was super huge and incredibly tasty. There's a shrimp in nearly every bite. The corn side dish was a creative hot corn dish mixed with tomatoes and a seasoned sauce. I cannot wait for them to come next week! read more

I have a friend from Baton Rouge Louisiana, and it was as good as his! I hope he doesn't see this it was flavorful, spicy and delicious! The pic doesn't do it justice, because I ate a good amount before I took my pic! My wife had the Shrimp Etouffee, she loved it!!! This is their website, follow them to see if and when they'll be in your neck of the woods!

Thanks to food truck night in our Alexandria neighborhood, we got a little taste of cajun! We ordered shrimp etouffe with a side of red beans & rice, jambalaya with a side of corn maque choux, and an order of dirty rice. After inhaling the shrimp etouffe like a turbine-powered Hoover vacuum on steroids. The ettouffe was also buttery and blonde- and usually I don't like blondes but this one was perfect! :) There was no way I had room for dirty rice, but maybe just one bite...OH MY GOODNESS, this was better than crack & I couldn't stop!!! It was well seasoned and sinfully delicious. The plus side was that I was wearing yoga pants (don't judge - I may take up yoga one day). I've had many types of jambalaya and I have to say I like this type the most - not soupy, well seasoned, not too salty, and the perfect ratio of meat to rice to veggies. It wasn't overly red and tomato-ey like other jambalayas I've had and I really liked that because usually I don't like jambalaya for that reason. The red beans and rice had to take a back seat to my obsession with the dirty rice, but I really liked that the red beans didn't have that pork/sausage flavor to it. If you are looking for meat in the red beans/rice, then you should pass on this as I believe it's vegetarian style. A very delicious meal and now in a very happy food coma. I will have dreams of the dirty rice for weeks. read more

Wow. Just finished my shrimp etouffee that we picked up at their truck in Fairfax. So good. The perfect amount of heat to compliment the buttery flavors, without overwhelming them. This NOVA etouffee was better than the etouffee I had in NOLA! And the portion was generous for the price. Recommend ordering ahead online, as they might sell out. Will be following the future locations of this gem so I can try their jambalaya and gumbo. read more

Our usual food truck was not outside of work the other day so I decided to take a chance based on the amazing smell coming from inside. I have traveled to Louisiana many times over the years and I've had many versions of Jambalaya. I'm not an expert on the topic, but I know good food when I have it. I ordered the jambalaya with a side of red beans and rice. Perfect ingredients, just the right amount of sausage and shrimp- 9.5/10 all day long. The red beans and rice didn't impress me at first glance, but the subtle layers of seasoning and perfectly cooked beans sold me- 10/10. In both dishes when I initially began eating them the flavors were subtle, like the heat level. But bite after bite the flavor jumped through and the heat level climbed to perfection (for my taste, which is about a 4/10 heat). I'm a big guy and when I say I had to force myself to eat half- it's not an exaggeration. I will definitely be following this truck and would drive out of my way to get their food. The plate you see including side was $14.00- a great price considering I had enough left for dinner. read more

Fri 10/20/17 1pm, Chef Jared This food truck came to the office today, so I gave it a try. I got the Pork Jambalaya Box ($10) with a side of corn maque choux. The Andouille sausage had a nice spicy kick to it. I didn't taste much of the pork shoulder. The creamy sweet corn side complimented the saltiness of the jambalaya. It was a nice pleasant pairing. I would definitely try some of the other dishes this food truck has to offer. Give them a shot! read more

The jambalaya was the best part of the meal, well-seasoned. The red beans and rice were under seasoned and sweet, lacking that nice rich, andouille/ham hock flavor. The etouffee roux was extremely blonde and served over jambalaya, which I thought was a little strange. The man running the truck was rude. read more

The guy that runs this is extremely nice, which is why I feel bad giving only three stars, but I was a bit let down. I was looking for gumbo on yelp and all of the places in NOVA have TERRIBLE gumbo, so I saw this food truck and thought most food trucks are really good and what not, so why not? FYI the containers for the jambalaya aren't good for a 30+ minute trip and become soggy. My second turn when leaving my four gumbos tipped over!!! BUT the lids stayed on great and I was so happy. I thought the jambalaya was pretty bland, yes the spice level was perfect...but it was just missing something, maybe it needed more tomato sauce, but with cajun cooking everyone has a different recipe. I did not like the sides what so ever. The corn maque choux was not for me, I just took a small bite off the top and didn't bother with it anymore..it was my first time having that. I thought the red beans were terrible; it was part baked beans part whole red beans...idk. Nothing like my mom makes. THE GUMBO WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST GUMBO I'VE HAD IN THE NOVA AREA...I WANTED TO DRINK IT!!! I've had some mind blowing gumbo in NOLA and if he was down there selling it I would still stop by for some gumbo...aannnndd make a couple more stops for gumbo...you can't have too much gumbo right?!

Specialties

The Jambalaya Bros. Food Truck offers authentic on-site Cajun cooking for your business, festival or party!

History

Established in 2015.

After two year honing the menu cooking under tents at events, Jambalaya Bros purchased their first food truck in the summer of 2017. We now serve lunch daily to businesses in Loudoun & Fairfax Counties while continuing to appear at breweries and wineries throughout Northern Virginia! We cater all events, whether delivering trays of food or bringing our Food Truck to your event!

Meet the Business Owner: Jared B.

I was raised in Lutcher, Louisiana, a small town on the Mississippi River midway between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. My Waguespack grandparents were commercial fisherman and kept our freezer stocked with shrimp, crawfish & catfish, and my Bourgeois grandparents had an extensive vegetable garden. Everyone in the family knows how to cook and I incorporate little bits of all their recipes in mine. I'm an alumnus of the University of Louisiana Lafayette and I spent ten years in the "Heart of Cajun Country", which has, in my opinion, the best food in the world! Since moving to Virginia in 2004, I've kept my friends well fed on authentic cajun food and now bring those recipes to a growing legion of fans!

There was a long gap between our appetizer and entrees, and I could see our food sitting under the heat lamps for a long time. When our server Soledad passed by, I told her I noticed our entrees were ready and asked if we could get them.

I've been maybe 3-4 times and so far it's been a super chill cafe experience here. Beignets and dipping sauces, along with some drink options, are more than enough for me. I will say they're a little denser than say Cafe Du Monde in NOLA, but overall feel pretty representative. Maybe timing when you go is super important. I've only gone early-mid mornings on the weekend and everything I've had tasted super fresh, but some of the other experiences I'm reading feel like what happens when I reheat some older ones I kept in the fridge. Definitely gotta try them while they're hot!

Heading to the counter the staff is very nice and very quick with their service. I got a late and some beignets to go. They are so delicious fresh and even good the next day. I'll be honest and have never had beignets from New Orleans but if they're like these then I'll be happy to try them.

We started with drinks - the old fashioned was perfectly made. We got the lobster spinach queso - and it was really great. Hubby had the buffalo chicken salad and I had the steak tenderloin salad. Both were perfectly crafted. Tip - Get extra crispy onions and the chipotle ranch sauce! Service (5/5): Our server was fantastic, Cecelia, she was kind and helpful at every turn. We had an issue with one of our entrees (hidden cilantro) and they remade the entree quickly and didn't blame my friend for not realizing that there was cilantro in the chimichurri sauce. Ambiance (3/5): The restaurant was fine, but half the restaurant was closed due to a tile that fell from the ceiling the night before. They were a bit crammed but still were able to put us in a large booth.

What could improve? Well, let's start with the staff. From the initial host experience to the long…read morewait for drinks and food, that's where everything fell short. The staff was friendly but honestly had no sense of urgency. Food was presented well and made as ordered. Portions are generous. The food runners did a good job except when 4-5 people were holding our meals not knowing where to deliver the food. We watched them approach 2 other tables before finding our table. That was almost comical. Where did the communication fall short?

This spot came…read moreup as "nearby" during a Yelp search (it is in a bit of an odd spot in what looked like a business complex. There there is an Olive Garden nearby so it isn't out by itself, even if it feels like it. The weather was beautiful, so we grabbed a high top in the bar area, overlooking a nice little pond behind the restaurant. The service in the bar was surprisingly good, despite the bar itself being pretty crowded and nearly every table around it being populated. The food was served quickly and they allowed us to customize to our liking (TIP: pay the nominal upcharge to replace your existing side dish to Brussels sprouts with bacon and spiced pecans! Or get it as a side to share) I had the Hickory Grilled Hanger Steak with mashed potatoes and a field greens salad, except no potatoes. The salad was amazing (it has dates in it for a sweetness to balance the sour of the dressing) and the medium rare steak was phenomenal. We each had a glass of beer -- the Pale Face Summer Wheat on draft. It is a classic German Hefeweizen and described as "malty with banana and clove flavors." I tested the banana on my first sip. It was a solid choice. The next day, we worked a 15 hour day without stopping to eat. By the time we finished, we were so tired that we agreed to return. I ordered the same steak and my coworker followed my recommendation. He agreed that this is the steak to order. (even if he ordered his more well done than mine). For the second visit, we ordered the bread pudding for dessert instead of beer with dinner. I suggest splitting the dessert. Don't get me wrong, it was fantastic, but was definitely shareable after a full steak meal.

Once for my husbands birthday and then for his best friends birthday. Always a group thing that the guys get very excited for. We visited, and our service was bad. Never introduced himself, told specials, nothing. Then, because it was his birthday, I actually called the restaurant earlier in the day to plan a dessert. NOTHING CAME OUT AT THE END except for the checks. I ran out to tell someone, no waiter in sight. Finally told some lady who sent him over. WTH seriously. So before I put a post on here or really started fuming, I took the decency to contact the restaurant. After I gave ALLL the details (more than this), they said okay we'll research and get back to you. Nothing for 24 hours. Sent them a message as a follow up. Nothing. Finally "Nazlie" sents me a message basically apologizing. THAT IS IT. Are you kidding me??? As much money as your restaurant makes, an apology is all I get for a special birthday??? PS my bill was not cheap and we had several us. They probably made about 2k in 1.5 off our table. I was livid and I told her that and of course no response. Take my money elsewhere. Not sure if they have new management, but the management is terrible if that's what they are going to respond. NOT HAPPY.

I wanted to buy some items while there, but I was stuffed so I plan to come back soon. Next time I will try a pizza. The menu literally has something for everyone. The service is warm and efficient. I went on a weekend during lunch time so it was a bit quiet, but as soon as I sat down to eat the people rolled in to buy their meats and cheeses. Great atmosphere! I think I've found a winner;)

I wanted a few slabs of cow for Christmas dinner but I was procrastinating in ordering and shopping. A few days before my Christmas dinner I walked in and was greeted and served by an amazing staff member. She educated me on how to cook, what to buy and even gave me a small discount. The cuts of meat purchased are all Prime cuts. On Christmas Day, we enjoyed our "cow" slabs as they melted in our mouths and no knives were needed. The Prime Standing Rib Roast was outstanding. The NY Strip Roast was perfect for the one person who enjoyed it. Finally the Lamb Chops were devoured by a few people even though it was purchased for one person. This shop has survived times of COVID when people were not in store shopping. The community rallied together to keep this gem alive. They now offer Pizza special notes, kids crafting and taco Tuesday's. They offer pre packaged fresh meats, wine bottles, drinks and other ready to make products. Visit them, it's a fun shop and the staff is great.

It's a very large, diverse menu, which always catches my eye. I've eaten here a few times now and everything has been consistently good. The burgers are great, the salads are great, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and portions. Service is fast, even when they're busy, and the servers are always friendly and attentive. There's plenty of seating, but it does get busy, so I'd recommend making a reservation to avoid a wait. Parking is super easy--there's a garage right next to the movie theater, which is really convenient. They're also very family-friendly. The kids' menu has solid options at very reasonable prices, which is always appreciated. Overall, it's a reliable, easy win whether you're going with family, friends, or kids. Highly recommended.
