The placed closed at 6 and we barely made it on time. But the people working were awesome.We didnt want to eat in because they already had the chairs up even tho they told us we could. We got 4 hot dogs ( 2 each ) Slaw,Chili and so mayo and mustard. i will say the Dog was PERFECT and alot of slaw as well and it was tasty. Me or my wife was not a fan of the chili it was more like hamburger tbh. Didnt have a chili taste. But other then that we loved them the nachos. Well they were nachos but they give you a large cup of chesse and chili and you can get sour cream and anything else. my son loved them tho. All and all its a 4 outta 5 just cause the chili. Place was SUPER clean tho

Everyone doesn't like cheese on their burger an that part is frustrating. Why is it so hard to get a plain steak burger? It usually takes a second order to get it right Think they should change it in the register to add cheese or not Not automatically add it for you. The food is really good & I highly recommend but it's best to go inside to order to make sure it's to your liking . Service is always friendly & professional

Quite possibly the best food truck in JC. I don't go nearly as much as I would like because their…read moremenu is primarily grilled meats and I don't eat meat. Their menu consists if whatever they cooked up that day and they post on FB as soon as they open up. Today I saw they had a jerk egg salad sandwich and a guacamole side so I made sure to show up for that. Of course the portion sizes are HUGE. You know you are being fed by someone who likes to eat when you get this much food. When I first took a bite of the guacamole, I almost fainted. It was seriously that good. I was excited to be able to get some non-meat items so I hope they continue that. I do often crave Caribbean flavors and this is some of the best I have tried. I would love to be able to get a chickpea curry. Yum!

Burgers are good too and I like that it's a small menu so they can finely craft what they're best at. All the locations have cool ceramic hot dog structures and make it look old timey.
