I love going to Eat The Streets 757 food truck events, plus their lunchtime and brewery events…read more Love the variety of trucks they bring out.

So, this is a preliminary review based on my experience at today's inaugural food truck rally here…read morein the Hampton Roads. For this, I'll be departing from my normal style of writing to write an educated and informal post in hopes that the truckers will read this and make amends for the next gathering. Before the actual review, I'd like to thank WHRO for graciously hosting the event. Onto the business end of the stick... I showed up at 1:40PM, an hour and forty minutes after the event started. When I got there I went in what appeared to be the shortest line, which was for Norfolk Ramen (NR). In line I asked the person in front of me how long they had been waiting and they said for 15 minutes so far and that there was a second line to wait in to get your food. Still I waited, and waited, and waited. 25 minutes later I heard that NR ran out of the item I was interested in. No bueno mi compadre. I decided to go for another line; this time it was Stuft. A friend of mine who had already gotten food from them said the wait was only around 35 min and the tacos were pretty decent. 25 minutes into this wait Stuft called the line off and said they had ran out of food. ¡Que verracos pasa! At this point I was pissed, so I left. I not only worked in the gourmet food truck circles, but have also visited the various circles across the country. My experience was horrible and I know that I am not alone because the two girls that were behind me also left the NR line to go to the line for Stuft. This is unacceptable. What it is reflective of is very poor preparation. Did anyone think to call the plethora of great trucks from the food truck rallies/farmers markets from around the country for expertise? Not only have they been doing this for a while, handle greater volume, have more expansive menus, and do it all with wait times in the range of 5 to 10 minutes. I already know the answer to the question is no. There are a lot of people kissing your collective arses at the moment, because the majority of them do not know any better which is a shame in itself. Excuses like you didn't know people were going to show, it's hard working in those trucks, etc. You saw the RSVPs on FB, you new of the collective noise in the HR area via the various media/online outlets, and it's cramped but there benefits to working in the truck as well. So, I guess I will be the critic in the crowd and call for results. If you want to successfully join the culinary movement sweeping across the States, then simply do better. Have enough food for the crowds, have enough staff to assist, and do the prep work necessary to punch down wait times. Why this isn't a one star review is because of the location (good), the idea (also good), and from what I saw of the food (it looked good). Suggestions for the venue organizers... Maybe have an on-site portable ATM and invite a craft beer truck. I'll update this review after attending the next rally.

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!

So, I'm chillin' at the beach, and I get hungry... Since I'm truly a beach girl at heart, I want…read moreto soak up all the beach sun I can get while here, so I don't want to go too far, nor do I want to sit down at a restaurant. I look around, and what do I see?!... A tiny little food cart that says "Flamingo Joes." Now I must say that my expectations weren't all that high upon approaching the beachside cart. All I wanted was a some grub to stop the belly growling and so I could get back in the water ASAP. I begin to consider my options..., "mmmm.... chicken philly sub... I've never had one of those. I guess I'll try it..." OMGosh!!! That chicken philly sub was FIRE!!! I'd have to say that it was better than 90% of the restaurant food that I've had in the last couple of years!!! This sub totally took me by surprise! Now I must say that part of that had to do with the "beachside food cart chef" on duty, Ty. He hooked my chicken philly up!!! I had never had a chicken philly sub until going to Flamingo Joe's and they definitely did not disappoint. If there ever was such a thing as "food cart gourmet," Flamingo Joe's is the place to go to get it. It was so good that I actually went back TWICE to get chicken philly subs, and although they were good, they never were quite as good as they were when Ty made them... But I think I know why. It all boiled to his technique. When Ty prepared the sub, he grilled the onions and green peppers longer, allowing them to soften more which made a huge difference than the ones I had on the next couple of days. Don't get me wrong, they were still great subs, but not quite as good as the first one. So, if you happen to go by Flamingo Joe's, hopefully you'll be able to have Ty make your sub, but if not, just ask the person making the sub to grill the veggies longer and allow them to soften more and you should be fine. On top of offering a phenomenal chicken philly sub for $6, the staff was extremely friendly and very engaging. Couple that with the stellar beachside location of this food cart, and I think I'd be safe to say that Flamingo Joe's is the BEST food cart that I've ever been too! Hands down. If you find yourself chillin' on the beach, you owe it to yourself to hustle over to Flamingo Joe's and grab a quick bite to eat. You'll be glad you did!

I was driving down 460 and saw a sign for lobster rolls in front of the tractor supply store. We…read morehad to bust a U-turn and come back around for my friend to get a Lobster Roll. The owner Ms. Lawerence and her son went to work making a fresh roll. The roll was buttery and soft. My friend said that the lobster was moist, tender, and full of flavor. The portion size was very full for the listed price and comparable to other sea food places. I ordered an all beef hotdog with mustard and sauerkraut. She used the same bread and it was toasted to perfection, It was delicious. Ms. Lawerence and her son were very personable and happy to serve their creations. This is not a sit down place to eat but she will come to your car and take your order. You will need to follow her page on Facebook to see where and when she will be next. If you are ever traveling down 460 or in the 757 area please look her up and try one of her road side delights! The Facebook page is See Food and Eat.

Recommend these tasty little treats. The Vibe & Verdict Everything looks beautifully smoked, seasoned to perfection, and served in an authentic, no-nonsense bar atmosphere. Finding this quality of slow-smoked barbecue alongside an entire lineup of scratch-made sides for $20 is a total steal.

Oh, and they offer a military discount and the servers are extremely attentive of your every need!

Tucked on the corner near The Main and surrounded by restaurants, Blyss Ice Cream and Desserts is a…read moresweet spot for a post-dinner indulgence. While their ice cream selection is limited (no chocolate was a surprise!), the real magic is in their signature sundaes, which come packed with bold flavors and generous toppings. We shared the Cookie Jar Sundae ($12.28), layered with customizable scoops, crumbled cookies, Oreos, and fudge--decadent and perfectly balanced. It's a shareable treat that hits the sweet spot. I will say, we almost walked by from the street because it is not obviously apparent that this is an ice cream place. I totally get the glam aesthetic, but as a storefront that has just opened, they're missing out on passer by customers looking for something to do or eat! From the street, it's easy to miss that Blyss serves ice cream, which could cost them valuable foot traffic. A more inviting or clearly marked entrance could help draw in the crowd. Overall, a delicious hidden gem with room to shine brighter.
