We found this little Food "Bus" parked outside of the Tanger Oulets in National Harbor and were excited to see a bit of a twist on Soul Food.
We ended up with the fried turkey chops, crab and shrimp fries, and the "grilled" salmon over rice.
I put the quotations around "grilled" because my salmon was certainly not grilled. I was about 80 percent sure it was fried (due to the general texture and crispy bits that dotted the outside).
Unfortunately, that was the least of my problems with the salmon. The thinly cut piece of salmon was WAY overcooked. Large portions of it were akin to a jerky texture, and not only that, it was served over mushy overcooked minute rice with a sprarse dotting of the peppers and onions it promised. It was just a failure on all levels.
The turkey chops were also overcooked. I'll give them that they looked well fried, emitting a golden brown hue, and we're seemingly quite crispy. But after biting in, the turkey that was revealed was stringy and lacked seasoning.
The crab and shrimp fries were decent. I don't mean this as shade, but they do know how to cook their french fries. Even the fries that came with the turkey chops were nice and crispy.
The crab and shrimp that was thrown on top of the fries could have used a bit more crab, but was overall decently seasoned using their own brand of "Mr. T Sauce"
Unfortunately, the fries are not enough to bring me back... and I'd definitely go with one of the other food trucks that was there if given another chance. read more
