This day I was fixated on food truck chasing so, I did and was very pleased. Four of my co-workers caught wind of my plans and followed suite. Not sure how location and placement are determined. This was a Thursday. Location was Lake Wright Drive tucked away in a GATED parking lot. I found out later all of my co-workers had difficulty finding food truck too but, still worth it! I ordered the Tripleta to go. It came with chips. I normally like VERY spicy food. This wasn't spicy but, I LOVVED IT! A lot of flavors and A LOT of TENDER meat! I'm thinking the tortillas had to be homemade as they were not like any tortilla I've ever had! THREE meats... Chicken, pork, and ham. The slaw was made perfect! Not too sweet nor too tangy. This dish was perfect! All of my co-workers were so happy with their dishes too! Two ordered the pernil & empanadas. Another ordered the Cubano. Now, I know I saw a pic of the Cubano w/ bread. This time it was served w/ a tortilla. My co-worker wished it was on bread too but, said it was still verrrrry good! Gotta stalk Sofrito more as there are other menu items I want to try! Kudos!!

Our family was dining at a nearby, toddler-unfriendly restaurant so we decided to try out Cheese It Up. They are, by far, the quickest, most reasonably-priced food truck I've found in the area. For $8, I had the caprese appetizer. Their unique twist is what I would call a "tomato soup" drizzle which was delicious! The tomatoes were fresh, huge slices of fresh mozz and it was well-seasoned with salt and basil (I opted for no EVOO). My husband had the $11 Low Country Chicken sandwich which was a very yummy combo of chicken, pimento cheese and tomatoes, served with a pickle spear. It had a flavor reminiscent of buffalo wings without the heat. Pretty darn good! We were definitely happy with our selections and I will not hesitate to order again if I see them out and about.

I had the Tailgater today and it was pretty tasty - it has a sweet BBQ sauce which is good although…read moreI prefer spicy. No biggie, I just added some hot sauce. The staff were nice but I do wish they had receipts where you can add a tip if you want without having them ask you out loud and having to say out loud how much to add. I feel since there are only two staff right in front of you, it puts you on the spot. A little uncomfortable. Especially since it's before you even received anything yet. Other than that, they were friendly, especially the gentleman doing the cooking. I had the Buffalo chicken dip before and it was tasty, too!

If you ever get the chance to try this food truck, TAKE IT!!!…read more I was at Makers Craft Brewery and they were parked on the lawn selling some very good food! It was my first time at Makers Craft so idk if they're the resident food truck or if there are different food trucks everyday. Regardless, get them while you can! I got the wings and fries combo and they were super good! The fries were really addicting and the wings tasted great, super tender, not dry at all and had a lot of taste! 10/10 would recommend. Just be warned that they were really popular when I had them. Line went fast to order but the wait after was about 35-40 minutes. Super worth it though as they're made from scratch!

We pulled up during what felt like a historic flood but apparently might just be another day in Norfolk. We arrived a bit after lunch hour and were able to order right away. You make your choices at the counter and then take the food to a covered seating area. (Good thing it's covered since it was pouring) I'll start by mentioning that every staff member we encountered was awesome, they all seemed into what they were doing and delivered a great experience. I was also impressed by the operation. They had everything you would need displayed in the seating area. Sauces, utensils, napkins, to go containers, and bags. No need to awkwardly look for anything. Hard to get this far into a review without mentioning the outstanding food. It's some of the best BBQ I've had! We went with the professional platter and added burnt ends. I enjoyed each and every item but the standout to me was the brisket, I've never had a juicier more tender piece of brisket in my life! Ribs were done really well also, the burnt ends had tons of flavor, the sausage was delicious, and the pulled pork and chicken were winners as well. The fries were better than expected, the Mac and cheese was tasty, and the broccoli salad worked really well with all that meat! Truly a feast!

We came to grab lunch on a Tuesday 2pm. They had a huge parking lot adjacent the building. It…read morewasn't busy. We had to put in the order at the counter first before grabbing a table in one of the shack style sitting areas. They had 7 different styles of meat and 9 different sides. They also sold snack, house made sauces and some merchandises of their brand. I ordered the 2 meat platter with beef brisket and chopped beef. Within few minutes of ordering, they brought the order out to the table. I liked the chopped beef but didn't like the brisket. Tried the burned end also that was good actually. The chicken nuggets I got for my daughter were the best. They were so tasty. The side of corn pudding was also excellent. The shack we sat in was really hot since there was no AC, just a normal fan was blowing air. It was self service so we got the utensils, soda and water. They had ketchup, vinegar, mustard, bbq and white sauces available in the condiment area. Overall it was a decent spot but bbq meat fell short in taste for me.

Overall, I'd say the lobster roll was pretty good but pricy -…read more GOOD: it had a good amount of lobster and was nice and had a little butter on there. The roll part of the lobster roll was about the size/shape of a small hotdog bun. The lobster roll comes with a bag of chips and a drink. LESS GOOD: This is my first lobster roll in the area, but it was $30! Not sure if that's the normal price around but wow that's pretty expensive. If you're looking for a lobster roll, and you're in the area and willing to drop 30 bucks, this is a good choice.

He enjoyed them over the next few days and absolutely loved them. If you can ever catch their locations (they are at farmers markets etc) and don't mind standing in line.
