Spicy garlic shrimp
Tiffany H.

Haven't eaten here in years. Same food truck but it got moved a little further down the street than the previous location. Got the spicy shrimp. Prices are higher than the last time I ate here and the amount of shrimp is less than other shrimp trucks for the same price. The flavor, however, was good and the spice was minimal.

I'm convinced this is the best shrimp truck on the island. I've tried Giovanni's and was sadly disappointed, but Jenny's is A1. There is minimal parking in a shared lot, otherwise you can find parking elsewhere and get your steps in. You order and pick up at the truck and there are plenty of tables to the side. I shared the garlic shrimp plate and wow the flavor and juiciness of the shrimp was incredible. Also, their garlic topped rice was perfect. Definitely a spot you shrimp lovers need to try.

Jenny's Shrimp Truck was a fairly good experience overall. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and not overdone at all. Since this was my first time trying this type of food in Hawaii, I think my expectations were probably a little too high going in. While the shrimp itself had a great texture, the flavor wasn't as bold or flavorful as I expected. Honestly, the rice had more flavor because of the sauce that was poured on top, which ended up being my favorite part of the plate. It wasn't bad by any means, but I was hoping for a little more seasoning and flavor from the shrimp itself. One thing I did really like was that there was plenty of outdoor seating available, which made it nice to sit down and enjoy the food comfortably.

The #1 butter garlic shrimp plate was a bit of a let down for me. I wish it were more garlicky or buttery. The portion of rice could have been a bit more generous too.

Haven't tried a lot of shrimp trucks in Hawaii but this one was definitely one of the good ones worth going to. I only say that because the butter sauce on the rice along with the jumbo buttered shrimps were so good I cleaned the entire plate. Plus the wait for the food only took about 10 minutes Cash and card are both accepted but there's a processing fee with cards. The shrimp truck was not hard to find but parking was tougher since it's in a small shared lot. Picnic tables available for dining there but make sure to watch out for birds and bees !

Heading to North Shore, and not wanting to go the other popular shrimp place because of the recent Yelp reviews. Plus it's was like, eh been there, lets give someone else a try! We came here during a busy Monday afternoon, and of course it was still slow traffic heading north. And with that came the dreaded search for parking! But luckily, we found a spot meant for Jenny's and the little shops around it. Just keep in mind it's short term parking in this little lot. All I wanted was a plate of Butter Garlic Shrimp ($17) and daaaayum was it buttery garlicy good son! The shrimps were pretty average in size, but steamed up and sauteed in butter just right. I think the plate had about 8 shrimps, but I still shared a few. I think the butter garlic on the rice was the kicker! Just an excellent tasting combo! Next to Jenny's is a little patio table area. It's pretty much where everyone chilled at, especially if you're there supporting the local shops within the block. I'll just end with, after having Jenny's, we were all comfortably satisfied.

We headed to Jenny's straight off the plane from LA. It's a food truck with some outdoor seating at picnic tables. We ordered at the window, and our food was ready quickly. We got: - Coconut shrimp -- lightly breaded and really good coconut flavor - Spicy garlic shrimp -- it was spicy - Spicy shrimp -- too spicy for me, so the boys ate it and I ordered a new plate - Garlic butter shrimp -- so good! Everything was served piping hot and the plates include a salad and two scoops of rice. Only downside is Pepsi products.

Tried Jenny's Shrimp for the first time and WOW. I ordered the spicy garlic shrimp and I swear I could BATHE in that butter sauce. So freaking good. Perfect balance of garlicky, buttery, and spicy. Every bite was ridiculous! Even better, my food was ready in about 5 minutes after ordering, which was awesome because I was starving. It was $18 and honestly worth every penny. The parking lot is a little small and shared with other businesses in the area, and there's just a small dining section, so keep that in mind. But none of that matters once you taste the shrimp. Absolute must-try if you're in Haleiwa. I'll definitely be back.

I've experienced Giovanni's shrimp truck in the past and I didn't feel like waiting in a long line again, so we opted for garlic shrimp that was close by. This shop ended up next on our list. When we got there, there was no wait which was great! We ordered a shrimp tray to try and it didn't disappoint. The dish was under $20 and was good enough to share to taste but not if you wanted to fill up completely on it. There was another shrimp stop across the way, which we didn't try, but it seems like the competition is tough here. If you don't wanna wait in long lines but are craving garlic shrimp in the north shore, this is a good option!

Our favorite shrimp truck in North Shore! For $17 per a plate, this place is worth coming back to. My husband and I shared their Butter Garlic Shrimp plate (don't worry we came back the same day and shared another plate hehe) and it was so good! The plate was packed with about 9 pieces of jumbo butter garlic shrimp, 2 scoops of rice (with garlic sauce on top), a side salad, and a piece of pineapple. The shrimp was sooo juicy and flavorful, packed with a good amount of butter and garlic. We were afraid that 1 plate wouldn't have enough pieces of shrimp for us to share but it was actual a good amount of food. We were satisfied, but we knew we didn't want to be extremely full because we were planning to eat other food that day. We will definitely be back again when in North Shore!

So Good! Got our food pretty quickly. We ordered the spicy garlic shrimp plate. The flavor on the shrimp was amazing. It wasn't that spicy but just enough to give it another level of flavor. It paired perfectly with the rice. Parking is limited and they are pretty strict about it. They do have tables for you to sit down at. Definitely give this place a try if you're in Haleiwa and/or driving to the north shore.

So many of our friends recommended Jenny's shrimp truck and it did not disappoint!!! The garlic shrimp is their most popular item and it was SO garlicky and flavorful!! The garlic rice was also sooo yummy. The line is shorter than Giovanni's and food came out quickly. We saw some people who brought gloves which looked smart. They also have hand sanitizer for you to use too before peeling the shrimp. There's limited parking spots.

I have heard of Jenny's Shrimp Truck for a while now. I've ATTEMPTED to do extensive research which truck on Oahu has the best garlic shrimp. I've seen videos discussing how this spot is a must visit on the north shore side. So when my friend, who is leaving the island, asked me to plan an itinerary of eats on the north shore, I made sure that it was a stop that is included on the trip. Their parking is a bit weird, I honestly was unsure where we should be parking so we ended up parking across the street as we were getting surf and salsa anyways. They have a lot of seating, covered in a metal shack, outdoor obviously as it is a truck. We got the spicy shrimp. It was good, but nothing crazy. I don't know what exactly I was expecting but I think I've had better spicy garlic shrimp before. It is definitely not bad by any means but I think I've been spoiled by other places (check on Saigon Grill in town) and also had my expectations blown a bit out of proportion. I may update this review when I try some of the other shrimp trucks on the north shore as a better comparable.

I recently visited Haleiwa Joe's and overall had a great experience. The weather was absolutely…read morebeautiful, and we showed up a little early (before their 4:30 PM opening) hoping they might seat us sooner -- no luck there, but it was worth the wait. We actually lucked out and grabbed seats at the bar first, which worked out perfectly. We had a couple of drinks, and shortly after, they moved us to an outdoor dining table. Honestly, the timing couldn't have been better -- the ambiance outside with the weather was amazing. Service was super quick, even as the restaurant filled up insanely fast (seriously, it got packed almost immediately). As always, we went for the prime rib -- and it did not disappoint. The portion was huge and easily shareable. We also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were sweet, crispy, and paired perfectly with this super umami, flavorful mayo-based dipping sauce. For dessert... wow. If you love anything with an Oreo crust and coffee ice cream, you need to try it. I'm still thinking about it. Tip: Get there right when they open -- or even a little before -- because the place fills up fast and parking is pretty limited.

Highly disappointed. Went in at 1:45 on a Saturday afternoon and there was a sign in the lobby…read morethat stated main dining room was closed - serving tapas and lunch in the bar/lounge area. We walked into the bar area and the bartender rudely yelled across the room that the kitchen is closed and offered no explanation. Rude and poor customer experience and service. I was looking forward to eating there, as several things on the menu looked very appealing.

Probably one of the most well-known and popular shrimp trucks in Hawaii, so when my girlfriend…read morefirst time on the island, we had to go so she could see what the hype is. We got there really early before the opened and we were second in line. We shared a plate of their scampi with a side of their hot sauce. I learned this from the last time because as you peel the shrimp, dipping it into their hot sauce is the move. Going the other way around was way messier. People say their rice is mushy, but that wasn't the case today. Honestly, if I could, I'd skip the rice and go all mac salad. The mac salad was pretty tasty and perfect to break up all the garlic. While I've been here multiple times, I do find it to be good. Would I wait in a long line for it though, probably not. It's a spot I'd classify as a tourist trap, but at least the food backs it up. I think in comparison to what I get in California, it's a few steps above what we get on the mainland. I think if you are planning on getting here, do it early to avoid the rushes.

Recently stopped by Giovanni's Shrimp Truck and had a delicious experience. We went on a Saturday…read moreafternoon and the parking lot was absolutely packed. Once spots started opening up, we paid the $2 parking fee and joined the lines. Heads up, the long line on the right is usually for pickup, while the shorter line on the left is for ordering. We went with the famous Shrimp Scampi along with a side of mac salad. Shrimp Scampi (4/5): Easily lived up to the hype. The shrimp were juicy and easy to peel, and each bite was loaded with buttery lemon flavor and tons of crispy garlic. The rice soaked up the sauce really well, though there was honestly so much butter and oil leftover afterward that it pooled at the bottom of the plate. Still incredibly flavorful overall. Mac Salad (4/5): Creamy without feeling too heavy and generously portioned. A solid side that balanced out the richness of the shrimp. Bathrooms are located upstairs near the gift shop, and there's also a washing sink near the exit, which definitely comes in handy after peeling shrimp. Overall, a fun and iconic North Shore stop that absolutely feels worth trying at least once. Glad we checked it out to see if it lived up to the hype.

Stunning views, and delicious food…read more.. This place is not only beautiful it is the perfect place for a meal with friends or ohana. The service here was excellent (thank you to Cash for being an outstanding server.) We were greeted immediately, seated immediately, and had drinks in front of us within 5 minutes. Highly recommend as a place to chil, eat and enjoy your day.

I visited Haleiwa Beach House during my recent trip to Hawaii. My family and I were at the beach…read moreall day in the area and were looking for a restaurant that could accommodate our large party (6 adults & 4 kids). We arrived right when the restaurant was opening and were lucky enough to be seated immediately. The parking lot is relatively small, but we lucked out by being there right at opening. I loved the seating area, it is completely open and we were able to enjoy the light breeze and beautiful weather. I ordered the Grilled Mahi Mahi which comes with garlic ponzu long beans and lemon caper brown butter sauce (which I requested on the side) and white rice. I am glad I decided to put the sauce on the side because the sauce was really rich and I enjoyed it more as a light dipping sauce versus drenching the plate with it. The Mahi Mahi was delicious and cooked perfectly. The kids menu here is amazing, the kids all loved their choices. I tried some of the Chicken Tenders and it was one of the best I have ever had! The staff here are wonderful! They were so attentive and checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The food came out quickly and just as we ordered. I would highly recommend Haleiwa Beach House to anyone craving fresh and delicious food... there is a variety of choices on the menu, everyone in our party was able to pick what they wanted and we all left full and happy :)
