Jenny's Shrimp is good! The food is pricey for the portions, but what isn't in Hawaii. Line goes by pretty quick. They have some tables under the shade. Not gonna lie they're pretty dirty but beggars can't be choosers. They have keys to a bathroom at least!! So you can wash your hands before munching away. Honestly, I did not think it was anything special. I would not go out of my way to get this again. Some people LOVE it, but for me it's kinda meh. Like its good but its not oh my God I'm still thinking about it to this day good.

Must always eat at a shrimp truck while at the North Shore, and this time we found Jenny's! They're located on the edge of Haleiwa town. Ok I have to say I think Jenny's is better than Giovanni's. We ordered three different plates to try - butter garlic, lemon pepper, and spicy garlic... and all were delicious! Came out piping hot and fresh, and the shrimp was not overcooked!! My favorite of the three was the lemon pepper.

I do NOT LIKE SEAFOOD!!!! But I have been able to "stand" shrimp IF the flavor is good. .. for me I liked it somehow, I mean other than the texture it was valid ... I picked off my man's plate though and he said it's alright but not really worth the price since it was a skimpy amount. I agree but I did like the seasoning a lot but this is like one of the first times I lowkey liked shrimp- coming from someone who absolutely cannot stand any seafood, even seaweed makes me gag. So I mean I wouldn't come back because it's not a lot for the price but it's cool to try for sure !

I only knew about Jenny's shrimp truck because it was recommended by a friend who visits O'ahu often. It is tucked away at the North end of the parking lot for The Bird's Nest Coffee. About a dozen tables were available for seating adjacent to the truck in a shaded area. I ordered the butter garlic shrimp. I had cash on hand so was able to avoid the 3% fee that would be applied if using a credit card. The dish was ready in about 10 minutes. Shrimp was super fresh and fully absorbed the butter garlic sauce. It was a bit messy, even with utensils, since the shell was still on the butterflied shrimp. There was a station with paper towels and a large container of hand sanitizer to aid in cleaning up. It also came with two scoops of rice, lettuce and a slice of pineapple. I'll likely return if in the area again.

Jenny's butter garlic shrimp was so good! Plenty of shrimp and great flavor that mixed well with the garlic rice. Simple yet delicious. Would come again!

Everyone says that food trucks are a must get when in North Shore, I was debating on the 3 most popular shrimp trucks and this was appealed to me the most. They have a little parking lot that you can park for free at. The worker was very nice and our order didn't take long to prepare. The shrimp is butterflied perfectly making it easier to peel, but we thought the shell was soft enough to eat as well (extra protein yum). The shrimp was so buttery and cooked perfectly. They have outdoor seating to the side of the truck, there was shade under the umbrellas and patio area. ig: @cravingswithcat

I am so glad that I got to try Jenny's! We tried the Coconut Shrimp and the Spicy Shrimp. I am a huge shrimp lover, so I thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. The food came out in a decent amount of time, and the portions were pretty good. I thought that this was a really yummy garlic shrimp! It was a bit of a journey to get there, though. The staff were nice & efficient. I was also very glad that there was a shaded place to eat, since it was so hot that day! The vibes were very laid back, which I loved. Overall, I really liked it and I'm glad I got to try it!

Absolutely loved this spot! Parking can be a little tricky when it's busy, but the line moved fast and the menu was simple and easy to order from. The food came out hot and had amazing flavor. I got the spicy garlic shrimp and my husband got the butter garlic shrimp, and both were delicious! They also have plain rice if you ask. There's plenty of shaded seating and drinks available. The lady helping customers was super friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. I would honestly come here every day if I could. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

I've been dreaming about Jenny's Shrimp Truck since my last Hawaii trip, and coming back, it was just as good as I remembered. I dare say it's even better than Giovanni's down the street. The garlic shrimp is a flavor bomb with tons of garlic and sauce soaked into the rice. We came right at opening, ordered one plate, then immediately decided we needed a second. They were super nice about it and made sure both came out together. The vibe is great too, super laid-back and only minutes from the water. Definitely one of my favorite shrimp trucks on the North Shore!

Spicy Garlic Shrimp
Jessica G.

Certainly much more decent wait if compared to the long-standing popular neighbor #IYKYK. My pick went to Jenny's as people said it's as tasty and even better if you preferred less greasy version and a hint of spicy kick. The dining space was super simple, long benches right next to the food truck but that kind of simplicity was what telling you that the foods were good as people solely came for them! Indeed super fresh chunky shrimps with flavorful garlic sauce.

Best coconut shrimp I have ever had in my life! perfectly crispy on the outside with flaking off, still light and tender and perfectly seasoned.

I don't know who Jenny is but she put her heart and soul into this plate I had right here. I got the Spicy Garlic Shrimp and it felt like I was levitating as I took each bite. The flavor was so rich and contained the perfect ratio of garlic and chili. The shrimp wasn't overcooked and the little pineapple was the perfect touch. I wish I could have this in front of me again. Can't recommend this place enough.

We ordered the Ahi Poke Bowl and the Loco Moco, and both were incredibly satisfying and flavorful. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and exactly the kind of local food experience we were hoping for. If you're heading to the North Shore, definitely make time to stop here. You won't regret it.

It was crunchy. The fries were pipping hot and very tasty. We also tried a plate with some nice poke and coconut shrimp. The food is good quality and hits the spot. The problem was the amount of time it took to make and deliver the food to the customers. There were two people in the truck. It was as if they were cooking one thing at a time. It look at least an hour and there were not even that many people in line waiting. One woman was taking orders and the man was cooking. The woman said it was her first or second day but in the time my husband ordered, my other child and I walked around for twenty minutes looking for other options (I wanted garlic shrimp, and they did not offer that on their menu), I went across the way after our walk, ordered a meal, got my meal, and sat there waiting to eat and it still look half an hour for the rest of the family to receive their orders. It was absolutely ridiculous. As another patron stated on Yelp, perhaps they should have stopped taking orders if they could not keep up. Love the food here, but not sure I would recommend my family coming back next time.

I was really torn between 3 stars because the cooks did well here and they deserve 4 stars. The rest of it deserves 2. This is a tourist area, I get it. Unfortunately, it felt like the bar is low here.. I support local business when we can, especially when we celebrate special occasions. This was my birthday dinner and I brought my family here to celebrate with me. It's disappointing they would treat local or tourists subpar or different. I know what it means to have a good relationship with a server and have a beautiful and exciting, dining experience. I a did not have that here. The hostess were fine, I do wish she had encouraged us to wait for the patio the extra few minutes. The inside dining area was okay but with children in our party, it would have been better for us to sit outside on the patio so the kids could play in the grass area while eating waiting for food or while adults were chatting. My kids could see kids playing from our table inside and wanted to be there too. The gratuity for a party of 7 at 20% is unfavorable. Our service here was not worthy of a 20% tip unfortunately. Our check was about $400. For an update. We again went to the other location two weeks later and it was in fact 18% for gratuity. 18-25% related to the servers service is what we provided for their service and attention. The lack of kindness in our server Rhys at this location was evident and I felt like we annoyed him just existing. I don't think he smiled at all. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there. I get we all have off days and a party that have 5 minors, 3 of which were kids menus doesn't equate for poor service or annoyance. It's still a good check and tip from us. On to the food--- The prime rib was perfect and tender, the price is worth every penny. The mashed potatoes were good. The small serving of green beans and onions was underwhelming. The top sirloin was really good, cooked a perfect medium rare on a bed of mashed potatoes. The sauce added a perfect flavor. The ribs were pretty good, they were a little tough and didn't fall off the bone but had great flavor and sauce. The kids burgers were perfect portions though the sprinkle of fries for kids was a little disappointing to them because it's French fries, if my 3 year old can clean a plate there's not enough. They did ask for pickles and they were all impressed with them providing pickles. The drinks were mediocre. The mai tai was large, did not pack the typical Mai tai punch I enjoy, I would not order again. The lilikoi margarita has a great flavor. For me personally, my service at the Kaneohe location was very different and was one of the most pleasant dinners I have ever had on the island - after this meal in Haleiwa, I actually returned to the Kaneohe location for my daughter's birthday and was again blown away by their food and service.

The…read morefirst thing that took me off that was the parking situation there we had to pay two dollars to park our car to get the food although it was just quick and quick out kind of a parking lot situation there. Second part was the staff was extremely uncommunicative. I understand they're running a big business a lot of customers, but they're just taking the orders. Daughters were not coming in the right order. The folks who came after me got their orders. We didn't get the kind of order that we asked for even though we mentioned what we want how we want it was super rainy muddy they didn't care to do any arrangements for the customers to be comfortable the path was so slippery that I saw many people fall down in rain. I know it's a great experience to be around that area to have food on the food truck, but safety is another main concern that every business owner should consider looking into I ordered the spicy and hot shrimp. I can take more spice, but there wasn't any flour. I failed. The shrimp was undercooked and the rice was extremely mushy. Looks like it was left in water for a while to become that way if the name is carrying the weight of the business, I expect the quality to follow as well. No wonder the ratings of this specific location is lower than the other one. And that experience of ambience was. Unhealthy and untidy.
