I tried this spot out a few days ago and have not stopped thinking about it since. I am already…read moreplanning on coming back. I was in the area and noticed their food truck and I just loved the vibes. They had music playing and once I saw the menu this was exactly what I needed. I ordered the hot honey old bay wings with mac and cheese and fries and I also got banana pudding. In total I spent about $29. It was FREEZING this day and they were so kind to bring my food to me in my car. The food smelled heavenly and I ate everything in my car and wow it was so so good. The wings were so good it didn't need any sauce or condiment and they were the perfect size. I waited until I got home to try the banana pudding and it didn't even stand a chance against my sweet tooth and all I have is an empty container to show for it. Delicious. My only cons were my wings and mac and cheese were a little bit too salty. Overall, I really liked this spot, they gained a fan and I will be back.

It's unfortunate, but the food I received from this food truck was horrible…read more I stopped by on a Friday afternoon and ordered the fried whiting, potato salad, and greens. I also decided to try the fried chicken wings. Unfortunately, none of the food was enjoyable. The fish was extremely salty and overcooked. The potato salad was honestly horrible, and the greens had far too many stalks and needed to be cooked much longer. The wings were just as salty as the fish and were also disappointing. I ended up throwing everything away. The food was borderline inedible, which was extremely disappointing, especially after spending money on a meal I couldn't even eat. So here I am, still hungry, but I spent money on food I couldn't eat, and I really don't want anything else because of the bad taste in my mouth. It's truly unfortunate because the customer service was very friendly and helpful. Based on my experience, I couldn't possibly recommend this food truck. I should probably check my blood pressure. I'm sure it's sky high from all the salt in my meal.

At last, after years of seeing them place in the local top places to eat, I finally paid them a…read morevisit. They're usually closed the days that I'm in the Upper Marlboro area, but not this time! It's in the same Plaza as the Amish market, so there's plenty of parking. I stepped inside and there were a couple of chairs for waiting along the window. Otherwise, it's a small open space and there are desserts on display, I'm in you to read, and very polite staff behind the counter. I decided to get the blackened salmon and shrimp entree with collard greens and mac and cheese. I got their salts at caramel banana pudding for dessert. I decided to use my insulated bag and wait until I got to my friend's house to eat. I love the shrimp and the salmon. They were seasoned well, but not to a point of tasting too salty, which can happen at a lot of soul food restaurants for me. Unfortunately, despite the good flavor, this was the case with the collard greens, whew. Also, there is turkey in there, so don't get it as a vegetarian option! The mac and cheese was good... Not sure where I would put it in my rankings, but I enjoyed it. That banana pudding.... Whoa. It was the perfect dessert, and I would happily get it again. The salted caramel and banana balance surprisingly well. Their top rankings are well deserved, and I am looking forward to trying their wings and other items next time!

Disclaimer: I didn't have an entrée this time--I had the sides and a mango lemonade. And let me…read moretell you, the sides were really tasty! The food looked delicious, and the staff were welcoming and friendly. My only disappointment was that they had run out of potato salad, which was the one thing I was craving! The mango lemonade was good too a little on the sweeter side so you definitely need some ice. The ambiance was okay, and while nothing really stood out about it, the prices were reasonable. I'd definitely go back and try a full platter next time. Overall, based on what I had, I'd say it's worth giving a try!

Great smash burger! Would easily return, hands down. Pricey but what isn't nowadays…read more The bacon akh is really good! Great size. Great flavor. No complaints. Easily would get that again. Cajun fries were good but for the price, they for SURE need to double the quantity. Crazy how few fries they gave. Cookie Butter Milkshake was really good! Very sweet but a solid shake.

Smash Akhs is a very good smash burger experience from a food truck. One of the best smash burgers…read morein the region. The burgers are always fresh, hot, juicy, and made to order. I appreciate the packaging and presentation of their burgers which is always professional consistent. The Bacon Double (beef bacon) is excellent accompanied by the Akh Sauce. The Cajun Fries are delicious, however, the cook is too inconsistent. At times, the fries are over fried. Crinkle cut fries are unforgiving, so even a few extra seconds in the fryer and you're dealing with more crunch than crisp. For the price and that reason, I simply stay away from the fries. The flavor is excellent, but the execution is too much of a risk. The milkshakes are also delicious, however, these aren't your conventional ice cream shakes. They are more on the creamy and airy side. I've tried a few and although delicious, the ingredient ratios seem off and the creamy texture and whipped cream leans too close to a frothy mix. The mocktail mojitos are delicious and refreshing. The customer service is OK. RECOMMENDATION: Order ahead at least 20 minutes in advance and especially on Fridays and Saturdays when they are busier. There were times when they were understaffed and ordering in-person was over a 40 minutes wait.

Come on DC with Taco Tuesday!!! I got 3 beef tacos and they…read morewere AMAZING!!! Talking about a flavor explosion in my mouth! WOW! Some of the best tacos I've had since retiring from work in DC years ago! The place I used to go to closed during covid and I was disappointed it didn't make it. BUY today I got such a treat! The truck is always super clean and I'm thankful. The staff aren't the most friendly folks but they are professional and get the job done so I'm pleased with the timely service. I also got beef brisket and a dino rib which were also tasty but the tacos took the show today. Thank you DC! I have to go back and get more as the ones I had didn't all make it home to share. The truck is at 7000 Laurel Bowie Road from 4-8pm or until sold out today, Tuesday, 11/18/25 (Shell Gas by the 7-11 and Crab Galley).

8/20/25 - Service was lack luster…read more I heard the truck was good so I was looking forward to them in our community. My family of 5 patiently waited in line for 35 minutes, placed an order, received our buzzer only to wait 30 additional minutes to be informed that they did not have our food. They gave a lot of us a refund...an hour wasted. You have to do better!!! We could have been informed sooner or when we placed the order. Please do not come to our community and waste our time again...Come prepared or don't come again.
