    Wow!! I've been following this spots Social Media for a long while now. So when I ran up on some pop ups at 3 Stars Brewery, & saw their truck!! Oh best believe...it was ON!! No question. Food Truck West African Cusine...LET'S GO!! . Where I am: @petitafrikdc . Location Reviewed: 6400 Chillum Pl., Washington D.C. outside of @3starsbrewing . Food Truck Menu Includes: Jollof Rice Bowls, Plain or with Chicken or Beef, and/or Plantains, A (Handmade Bread) Chicken or Steak Sandwich, Side Salads, Bacon, and Canned Beverages. . Items Reviewed: Their Bakassi Chicken Sandwich (with lettuce, tomato, onion, green peppers, banana peppers, mayo,mozzarella, & bacon $11). ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! This sandwich is huge!! The Ingredients are fresh, spiced right, and overflowing. The BREAD brings this sandwich full circle!! Their Bakassi Steak Sandwich (with L.T.O, green peppers, banana peppers, mushrooms, mayo, African Spices, & mozzarella $12.99). STAMP!! Plentiful, tasty (with the spices that are in this), and again...the BREAD that brings everything together!! Their Jollof Bowl (with Jollof rice, plantains, chicken, & salad $15.50). STAMP!!

    Highly recommend! We shared two plates from the food truck at City State brewing. This was my first taste of West African dishes, and I was impressed and satisfied. The portions were filling, and the seasoned and flavorful meats, rice and tender bread were great with beer. Chicken bakassi sandwich (mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, mayo, mozzarella) and Beef jollof (rice cooked with tomatoes, spices and served with a perfectly spicy sauce). Thank you so much and I will be back to try the rest of the menu!

    One of the best food trucks I've eaten at! The food was made to order fresh and had a great blend of flavorful spices!! The bread was also softly toasted and the sauce on the sandwich perfectly balanced the burger! The service was exceptional.

    Love their bread period. Bread is made from scratch baked same day and the flavors were solid. If you ever spot Petit Afrik in a dc local brewery event you need to try their food. Highly recommend!

But maybe that's better for them too. You can order to-go at the window and/or request a spot in the limited spaced dining/bar area. I've only gotten the Sub Club the few times I've gone here but what can I say? its a fail proof staple that is hard to get wrong and that they do very right. I often pair it with one of their drinks, this time being the spicy ginger ale which was solid as well. There's really not much place to dine-in if you're trying to dine and go - I recommend only using the dining area if you're solo, a couple, or part of a small group (at MOST maybe - a hard maybe - on 4 people) and only if you want to use the bar. One couple tried to squeeze in a baby stroller into the bar/dining area. Its really not suitable for things like suitcases or strollers so if you're in that camp maybe try some other spots because that also made a tiny space all the more difficult to navigate. Also, if you have a mobility device, this might not be the best spot for you either. I've never used their restrooms before so can't comment on that one. I still will say it is good for when you want to grab and go - so if you're in that category, and you like moderately priced sandwiches (for this part of town) this might work for you.

Most people order their sandwiches to go. The line can get pretty long, but you get through at a decent pace, I wouldn't say fast. Simple and straightforward ordering process, just remember what you ordered because they don't take names. I go between the Crunchy Boi and the Marisa Tomei Eats Free, which are both great. The Crunchy Boi is probably their most popular sandwich and it's lighter than you would think considering it's filled with potato chips. I think it's worth trying once. The Marisa Tomei, on the other hand, has never failed me. It's balanced with an absurd amount of arugula against the meat, and it's never dry. The portions are generous, like you could definitely split it into two meals, but they're not so heavy that you couldn't finish a sandwich in one sitting.

    If you love sandwiches like me then this is the shop for you…read more Hands down one of the best sandwich shops around. Exceptional service and even more exceptional is the food. Everything is fresh. The bread is from Cardinal Bakery (bonus). They have several popular and unique sandwiches like The Crunchy Boi. Usually split one with the boyfriend. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo (we get it on the side) and potato chips. Wow-wee get in my belly goodness! One bite and you're hooked. For real. Get your sammy fix on!

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it
