Monroe's On-The-Go Food Truck is on-site at Metro Square Office Park every Tuesday from 11AM to…read more2PM. It may be Taco Tuesday for many, but it sure is Barbecue Tuesday for me! They have Pulled Pork, Carolina Pork, Beef Brisket, Turkey, Chicken, Ribs, and jumbo wings. You want salad? They have that too. My favorite is the ribs. Fall off the bone goodness! I also like the Carolina Pork. I love the vinegary-flavor to it. Add collard greens and corn bread soufflé to the mix and I have a complete lunch platter. Also comes with a couple of toasts. Awesome service as always! Monroe's uses Facebook and Twitter in providing advance notice on when and where the food truck will be setting up.

Their dining room feels modern with rustic charm, and is always clean…read more Their meats all have a proper smoke flavor, which I think is important for barbecue! Orders are placed at the counter and they are always welcoming and friendly. A sign of a legit, fresh bbq spot: when the extremely popular items are sold out they're sold out. There's no microwaving another bag of meat. Quality over quantity! Big fan of this restaurant.

Stopped by TREEMENDOUS BBQ today for lunch between errands and housework. It's been too long since…read moreI've stopped by so I was way overdue for a visit. I got the "Tree"mendous Salad with double turkey (you can choose 2 proteins, I opted for doubling up the turkey). Fresh, smokey, and delicious. They give you a decent amount of ranch too. Not no itty bitty cup either! I also use some of their barbie sauce (my favorite sauce they have) to top it off. Also... if you were the kind lady who got up and moved for an elderly woman to sit closer to the door, that was very kind of you. However, the conversation you tried to begin and have with me was extremely presumptuous and rude. Not everyone who chooses to have a salad at a BBQ place is doing so to "lose weight". Some of us, overweight or not, enjoy a good smoked BBQ salad and next time, please just mind your business.

It was about that time again...to try out another food truck. I found this one listed on the Jax…read moreTruckies FB page and since it was close by, I decided to give it a shot. I haven't had any red meat in awhile and I've been craving some BBQ for some time. I was just a little bit hesitant that if I ate it I would be miserable the rest of day from being so full but that wasn't the case. I went over to their location at a college and their was a small line already there. I really like the artwork on their trailer, it's very bold and colorful and I think it captures "Memphis" perfectly. I ended up ordering the BBQ rib sandwich combo with baked beans and cole slaw and it was a good thing that I got there when I did because the were gonna shut down after my order. I chit-chatted with the lady at the counter as my food was being prepared. She's very friendly and even gave me some tips about what to use on my natural hair. Anyway, I thanked her and the cook and wished them well as I headed back to the office. The sandwich hit the exact spot I needed it to. There was no need to add anything to it as they were very generous with the bbq sauce. The ribs were excellent and seasoned just right. The beans and the slaw were awesome as well, nothing to complain about there. All in all, I'm very satisfied. I saw on their truck that they occasionally have smoked salmon so I'll have to follow them to see when they'll have it. I'd definitely will return.

My first time trying this food truck tonight and I'll say that it was decent, but pretty…read moreunsatisfying. I like to think I know my Bar-B-Que, and I certainly know what I like. This was just ok. First off let me say that Al the owner was amazing. He was getting set up when I introduced myself. I complimented him on the awesome design of the truck and he sent me a great photo to use on Yelp. He was personable and friendly. I came back 30 minutes later once they were up and ready and the woman working the truck got me my pulled pork sandwich with fries. She wasn't all that friendly. I don't know why, as I always make a point to be really nice. The pork is decent. It's moist and tender. The flavor profile I prefer is a bit more smoky, this was light in that department. Texture was odd because it was so well shredded that it pretty much dissolved in my mouth. The sauce was decent, but when I think Memphis BBQ, I think vinegar based sauces, and this was a more traditional sweet, tomato based (read KC) one. It's not bad mind you, it was ok. The fries were well cooked: crispy, really well seasoned and darned hot. The seasoning blend they use is a winner. Would I go back? Probably not. I've got a BBQ place prefer up the street from my home.

Believe it or not, this small place inside a car dealership (yes, really) is serving some of the…read morebest bbq in Florida. In fact, of the more than 60 different bbq places I've tried in Florida, I'd probably put this in the top 3 if yesterday's experience is typical of what they offer. Upon arriving, I could smell the smoke from the parking lot; always a good sign. I ordered the rib platter and the pork sandwich. The ribs were impeccable: smoky, perfect bark, and tender with just a little tug. The pork sandwich was equally good--the smoke flavor is very prominent without being overwhelming. If you're often disappointed by bbq that has no smoke flavor, you won't be disappointed here. The Carolina gold sauce is excellent too, but you don't even need sauce because the meat is so good. I also tried the beans, mac and cheese, and cole slaw, all of which were good. But let's face it, bbq is about the meat, and both meats I tried were stellar. The guys who run this place are very friendly, too. Highly recommended.

After looking at all the specials and enticing posts on FB decided that some of their smoked…read moresausage sounded like it would really hit the spot. Sadly, I arrived 30 mins to late and the Smoked Sausage was all sold out. As I stood there, decided to try the Pulled Pork Sandwich but then opted to upgrade it to the Springhead. Gotta say I loved every bite of it. And after reading a review think I'm gonna change from Fries to the Black Beans and Rice as a side.

It's off of heckscher drive across from Chowder Ted's. The menu is completely different then Ted's and they have some things that have their own twist thrown in. Like the Dixleland Chili I ordered today. Let's start with it's a Cincinnati style chili with all spice as it's main flavoring. Then they put it over spaghetti. It's different but the flavors work for me. But, then I like the Jamaican style of cooking to. They also have some bbq slung on the menu so we will have to try that soon. Thy are even going to be open in the morning on weekends for us surfers and fishing type.

These aren't your "boiled-first-then-smoked" mushy ribs. These are toothsome and have texture; a beautiful smoke ring, smoky and a little spicy. Perfect without sauce and even more so with it. The Chuckwagon beans are my favorite iteration of baked beans I've ever had. Bits of ground beef add texture and the molasses a bit of sweetness. Give them a follow so you know where to stalk them

When I saw this food truck parked out near the front of my neighborhood I got "eggcited" because I…read morelove eggs. And before I get too far into this I want to say the food was good. The flavors were nice and everything was prepared well. However, and this may be just my opinion but, if you're going to call your food truck "The Fried Egg" perhaps eggs should be a part of the make up of most of you menu items. Given the current menu options I think a better name for this truck would be "The Fried Egg is a $1 add-on option." I mentioned to the young lady taking my order that it surprised me that, given the name of the truck, I would have to pay an up charge for an egg. She relayed my sentiments to the cook, who may have been the manager or owner. Nevertheless, I ordered the Classic Smash Burger and did ask for the fried egg add-on. The food was prepared really quickly and the burger looked perfect. However, the young lady informed me that unfortunately they only had 4 eggs left and that they all fell and broke on the floor before my burger was ready. So she handed me a $1 bill as a refund. Obviously disappointed (and skeptical of the story) I accepted the refund and went on my way. The short of it is that while I was eggstremly disappointed by the lack of eggs, the burger was quite good and the fries were wonderful. I would have given this experience 4 stars, I can overlook the name thing, but not being able to have any eggs from The Fried Egg food truck left me somewhat disappointed.

I got the bbq melt, which was a pulled pork sandwich on Texas toast and light peppers and onions, sweet bbq sauce and side of beans. My husband got the pulled pork gyro. My son got the pulled pork sandwich which was served "hot dog" style in a folded bun. Everything was so good! Baked beans were "Sonny's better"! Pork had an awesome smoked flavor. We all could've used a side of the sweet bbq sauce. Otherwise no complaints. Sorry about the half eaten photos , it was that good!

Honestly I would go lower than three but decided it wasn't awful, just wasn't good. So the deets...it was a good price ($9) for a good sized portion. The gyro itself was soft and warm, quite good. The chicken was waaaaayyy too smokey, so much so that it tasted more burnt. I thought the Tzatziki would add a nice flavor to it to help offset some of the smoke, but it had zero flavor. I ended up adding mayo to it...it didn't help. I decided I would just eat the fries but they were way over salted. So I'm thinking it was a just a bad night. I would try them again and update the review when I do. The picture is after I took a few bites. It looks good but unfortunately, wasn't.
