Rob's also owns an Italian style food truck named Rob's Aldente Pasta. When I tell you it's delicious, I mean it. I was PLEASANTLY surprised with the size of the dish and how FULL I was. The pasta was perfect and the people were so nice working on the truck! Rob also owns the Kabobs mobile also... I would eat anything from either truck! 10 out of 10 would try any dish from these two trucks!! read more

Whenever I'm out at a festival or local event that has food trucks present... I'm on the lookout for Rob's Kabobs! These guys know what they are doing! I usually go with the chicken one, love the large pieces of vegetables that's with ( the more onions the better) For me I'm all about the different sauces they offer, Caribbean jerk has a nice kick to it, honey mustard is a soothing comfort, there a sweet heat one that's a perfect combo! Each event their at they might offer a few different options, but if the garlic truffle fries are on the side menu.. get them!! read more

I order a chicken kabob on UR's food truck today. Fantastic taste! Both guys on the truck(called Rene and another beauty girl?) are the best chefs read more

Really like the mango habanero sauce and the kebab itself was pretty good. Had it during lilac festival read more

Rob's Kabobs - a plate of food on the grass - Food Trucks Near Me - Rochester, New York

The hard thing about food like this through a food truck is: either it takes too long because they cook it to order or they cook it ahead of time and it's cold when you get it. Today, my chicken kebab was cold. Though, really, isn't food often cold when you eat when you grill? But it was pretty good, but I could've used a little more seasoning. (I actually think I often like things saltier than other people.) I also really enjoyed the seasoning on the beans and rice and it was probably the best slice of toast I've had in forever. I was really hungry. I would definitely check out more of their options. read more

Our chicken and beef were on the dry side. The seasoning was good, along with the vegetables. We found it really hard to navigate the little cardboard containers the food was served in. read more

Ordered food to pick up at the Roc-N-Dine event. I had a few questions before ordering & they answered promptly thru Facebook messenger. Ordered a steak kabob & chicken one. Both were huge! One came with garlic bread, rice & beans & then other with garlic bread & French fries. So yummy! I would have preferred a different cut of steak as it had a weird texture but that is my preference. The pieces of vegetables on the kabob were a little small but everything was cooked well. I will order again but maybe not the steak one. read more

Fairly decent food truck, helpful folks, decent selection available for differing tastes and palates. I ordered the Jibaro Plate, which sounded interesting. While I was not overly impressed (felt that it was relatively bland outside of the splash of Jibaro sauce), it was definitely an interesting take on a "plate" and was presented well. The avocado was perfect, btw. read more

I had a chance to try them at Midtown Eats, which was an awesome event downtown featuring local businesses outside of Branca and Tower280. I wanted to try something I haven't had before so Rob's Kabobs was the pick of the day. I recommend sharing with friends because that way you can get more bites of what they offer. We shared the tostones, the beef and cheese empanada, and the lamb meatballs. Everything was really flavorful and the lamb meatballs were the star - tender, packed with flavor and filling! The empanada could have used a bit more meat/cheese to dough ratio, although my fave part is always the crispy fried crust so I didn't mind all that much. I also really liked crisp golden fries. They do kabobs, but also offer a variety of Caribbean flavors in their sides with options like the tostones, pernil (slow roasted pork), and rice and beans. Being a food truck, they have the ability to mix things up and try different options of dishes depending on the environment they're in i.e. food truck festival vs. catering event. I'll be back for more! read more

The first time I went, I was thoroughly disappointed and because this is a new truck I've been holding off on writing this review until at least giving them another shot. Today, just couple of months after my first visit I was pleased to find that the things I was disappointed in had been improved. For anyone reading this who also tried this truck back when they first opened and were disappointed, I'd urge you to go back just one more time. During my first visit, I was disappointed to find that they did not accept cash. On days when I'm busy with work and need to eat lunch at my desk, I am not trying to run around to find an ATM before heading to get lunch, especially when so places and trucks in the area accept cards. I'm happy to say now, you can pay with a card J. Although I did not have cash during my first visit, my friend was able to spot me so I ordered a chicken kabob which cost $8.00 just for 1 kabob! Fortunately I wasn't terribly hungry because on a normal day, I don't know how this can be considered lunch. The flavor was good, I can't complain about but to have to pay $8.00 for 1 kabob with maybe 4-5 chunks of chicken was in my opinion overpriced. Today however, I was pleased to find that now you can order this same kabob for $8.00 and you also get a side of rice and beans. Now that is a meal! Since my last visit, they've expanded their menu offering a lot of yummy foods like beef and cheese empanadas, arancini, and more. Today I got a side of rice and beans and a beef and cheese empanada. The food is so flavorful and delicious. The rice and beans were on point! There's not many places I like to eat rice and beans from because my sis in law makes them so good but Rob's does a great job. The beef and cheese empanada was delicious too though just slightly overcooked but I won't hold it against them. Overall, my lunch today was $6.00 which is very reasonable considering the quality and quantity of food. I can't wait to try some of their other menu items! read more

Food truck? Hmmm... I ordered this from the back of a business in the Rochester Public Market. It is tucked in behind the weed shops, olive oil and a coffee bar. It's a little hard to find, and we came across it completely accidentally. But, worth the look. We weren't really sure what to expect when we ordered from them. It was a beautiful lunch option with crispy bits of plantain, rich pernil and avocados. So very delicious! They have a couple of mismatched tables in front of the counter. It was crowded in the building on a Saturday around noon, but tables turned over pretty quickly and we were able to sit for a quick bite. read more

Rob's Kabob is one of the newcomers to the Rochester Food Truck scene. I was one of the first clients to try it on their very first day out! Since then they are normally parked on Elm St and S Clinton (Windstream) a number of days during the work week. My first impression was "wow, about time we had a Caribbean truck"...my second thought after ordering was "wow, the prices are steep". My first time ordering I had the Sweet Heat BBQ Chicken kabob which comes with pineapple and peppers. Nowadays it is made with green peppers and onion. The kabobs didn't come with any sides so I upgraded to include rice & beans. $11 dollars after, I was looking forward to my meal. When I got the kabob, I puzzled over if the 5 small pieces of chicken on the kabob, served with garlic bread and a toston (singular of tostones/fried platain), was worth the $8 price tag. On top of the size, the chicken was very dry. Kudos for using chicken breast, but it needed marinating and/or brine. The rice & beans were also very skimpy and was made with black beans instead of the tradition red or pink. Fast forward to nowadays and trying them again a few times, I have to say things did improve but did not get tons better. The kabobs now come with garlic bread AND rice & beans. Not more upgrading business! What you can do is upgrade with a beef & cheese empanada. I've tried the Shrimp kabob and admit that is way yummier than the chicken. The Garlic Lemon Salmon ($10) is the clear winner for me. I asked them if it could be made medium and they did! It was tender and juicy. Their rice & beans are now served with bland yellow rice and pink beans. I believe mine had chunks of chorizo, so beware people with dietary restrictions. Things can only improve from here and I am happy they at least eased back with prices for what you're getting. read more

I had my first Kabob @ the Rochester Lilac Festival & it was delicious!! I tried the shrimp skewer & it was honestly grilled to perfection with just the right amount of lemon. Definitely have to grab it again if I see the truck out. read more

Rob's Kabobs - Lemon shrimp - Food Trucks Near Me - Rochester, New York

Rob's Kabobs is seemingly a hidden treasure in Rochester. They have a great menu with great consistency. The sweet heat BBQ chicken kabob is a favorite. Cooked to perfection with just the right sound of char. Great flavor from the marinade and seasonings. A generous potion of meat as well, the only reason I don't give it five stars is that I wish there was just a little more pineapple in the mix. You almost lose the sweet flavor with all the chicken they pack on there. The empanada's though.....the empanadas are simply fantastic. Cooked to perfection, amazing flavor from both the dough and the filling. If you're a dessert person, the guava and cream cheese empanada is quite possibly the best sweet empanada I have ever had, period. You simply cannot buy one, it has to be two. read more

I am struggling between a 3 and 4 star review here. But the food definitely deserves a full 4 stars, so we will go with that. I've had both the steak and chicken kabobs - both meats were perfectly cooked.. a little char and a lot of juiciness! The steak was definitely tender. The tostones were okay. The rice and beans were good. My hesitancy here is just with the price. I am definitely the type that will pay more for a high quality meal. But I have had 2 large skewers of tenderloin steak kabobs, a giant pile of basmati rice, charred tomatoes and onions, and naan for $17 at a different restaurant (in a city with a much higher cost of living!). What I received at Rob's Kabobs was a single steak kabob for about $10. As I'm looking at the new menu, it appears that French fries have been added as a free side to the steak kabob. So that's a plus! Prior, we had to pay about $5 extra for sides. I cannot justify paying over $10 for lunch on a weekday very often! read more

Highly recommend robs kabobs. They catered a large party for me and everything was outstanding. The chicken and beef kabobs were tasty and cooked perfect and so were the salt potatoes. All of our guests complimented the meal and there was more than plenty for everyone to go around twice. I would order from them again in a heartbeat! read more

I had Rob's Kabobs at the Webster Garlic Fest, I had garlic steak kabobs which were amazing! I believe Rob's Kabobs are a heavily underrated food truck in the 585. read more

I loved having Rob's kabob in my mouth. It was fairly large with a good amount of "sauce." I got the honey mustard chicken one with fries, both were delicious. My husband got the lemon pepper shrimp with beans and rice. He said the was well cooked, beans and rice were average. Cost was good. $11 each for a food truck isn't bad. Will definitely go back. read more

Love rob and his kabob. It's truly unfair having to smell his food even before he pops the window. It's intoxicating. He truly knows his way around a kabob. Top notch flavor. Ask for the banh mi read more

Rob's Kabob's is one of the best food trunks in Rochester. Like any other food truck around Rochester - it is about $10 per meal. A kabob, rice n' beans, bread. Or a kabob, fries and bread. Each kabob is delicious! Steak, shrimp or chicken - Pesto Chicken is my favorite. Or try the 3 sides/ drink special - pork, empanada, truffle fries - and other selections for $10. Totally worth your time and cash. read more

Got a kabob from them once at Midtown Eats. I got the chicken avocado one and it was quite plain. Not much seasoning so I didn't finish it. I would like to try them again. Maybe at Food Truck Rodeo. read more

I heard about Rob's Kabobs from a friend, so I decided to try them out at Park Ave fest this past weekend. It's hard to decide what to order because everything on the menu sounds delicious. My mom and I split a shrimp kabob and the sides combo platter, where you get 3 sides for $10. Pernil is an actual side. Who does that?! It was great! Can't wait to see the truck at the next festival. read more

A unique style food truck especially in the Rochester, NY area! I've tried most of the dishes except for the seafood types and am always blown away by the taste. During the food truck rodeo most of the businesses seem a little "overpriced", so I don't believe in dinging someone when you as a customer are knowingly going in knowing this. When I'm heading out for the ambiance & enjoying food, I know I'm paying for quality. All in all it's a up and coming business and I hope that it continues to grow. Give them a try out during the food truck rodeo and enjoy a nice beer while you have some good eats! read more

Bottle of water steak kabob and shrimp kabob $22. Would be fine if it came with sides. It was inadequate as a meal to say the least.

Went there for a quick stop on lunch. I found him at Linden Oaks on Tuesdays. Ordered a combination of empanadas and a pork taco. Pineapple, fresh veggies and tender pulled pork made me wish I ordered more than one. Amazing flavor and enough food to fill me up! Looking forward to eating there again soon! read more

Did a lunch takeout from their food truck on a busy Friday afternoon at work. Ordered the Pesto Chicken Kabob after a long 15 minute wait in the queue out in the sun. Went to the workplace and opened the box to see nicely grilled chicken kababs on a skewer topped with cheese and sundried tomato sauce, a side of a small bread slice and the side that I opted for - rice and beans. First of all, the portion size is good enough for lunch. The skewer had the chicken, onion and green peppers on it. It was tough to get those off the skewer with the plastic fork that they provide. So time to get my hands dirty by digging in and pulling out the pieces from the skewer. Flavors of the grilled chicken were nice, smoky and the chicken meat itself was succulent, little bit moist, not dry. They give 5 pieces of chicken in an order. Rice and beans were okay, little bit bland, not having the right spice or flavor. Bread slice was okay, nothing much to write about it. What disappointed me the most here is when the dish is called Pesto but doesn't even have a hint of the green pesto in it at all. This was truly upsetting. Even the sundried tomato sauce wasn't really having the actual sundried tomatoes in it. Overall, the lunch portion is decent enough to fill 1 person. However, I wouldn't go for the Pesto Chicken Kabob once again. I might try the other kabobs, but won't go for the side of rice or rice & beans - simply too bland. read more

I first tried Rob's Kabobs randomly at a food truck fest and was so pleasantly surprised! Steak kabob was one of the best I've ever had. My boyfriend and I loved it so much we went to the park ave fest days later just to get lunch from them. Literally got food from Rob's Kabobs, ate, and left. Thats how good they are! We are so happy to find out they opened a store front! If I had to change anything I would just suggest some more side options, however I can't complain! 5 stars for sure! read more

First have a little fries with your salt! Inedible even after trying to brush off. Steak way overdone and tough with no flavor. One star because the empanada was ok. Thumbs down. read more
