Hot pastrami sandwich was great!!
Zach K.

Food, service and ambiance were all great. Excellent stop off for those riding through the I-5 corridor. Family owned and operated.

Welcome
Tawny V.

Community food court aka The Backyard is a food court with food pods and food trucks serving Mediterranean, Persian, Mexican, Soul food and gumbo. There are plenty of seats, it was quite cold and they do have heaters. The only reason why we decided to stop here was Al's Food truck, I first found the truck in Grants Pass, Or and was happy he was still around but in a different location. Next time I come, I would consider trying a different spot! I'm sure it gets busy in the evening and weekends. Mediterranean - Als Food Truck; Gyro's, Doner Kebab, Bazuka, rice bowls, hummus etc Persian/Lavender Truck - Sells Lavender beef jerky, lavender ice cream, Persian food, Steak, BBQ burnt ends. Mexican by Mega Tacos offers - Street tacos, quesadillas, tortas, burritos, burgers, tlayutaco etc Soul Food - Fried chicken and waffles, fried ribs and veggies rice, mac and cheese and southern asada tacos etc The backyard - offers an eclectic menu; gumbo, cajun pasta, chili or chicken and rice, burgers etc Oh, I should mention their is a clothing store here. Ride 'Em Wear - customers can purchase clothing to represent their love for riding bikes, skateboards, horses, and other recreation activities.

This place is everything you would want to go to if you cant make up your mind on what kind of food you want. To start, we ordered at Soul Food and Megatacos. The chicken wings paired with the veggie rice was soooo delicious. The tacos did not disappoint too. Definitely a great combo. The dining area was cool and breezy enough with the tent to shelter us from the scorching sun. Service from the 2 food trucks we tried were amazing. We will definitely be back to try the other food trucks and maybe go back for the tacos and chicken again too.

The Bourbon Chicken sandwich has an amazing sauce and is delicious with their Chicken Gumbo!

Excellent service, delicious food, and fun, family atmosphere!! I absolutely love supporting local businesses especially when they are family run!!

shrimp and rice bowl

really good food and really kind people. would definitely recommend to a friend. planning to come back soon!

See all

Great food, fun atmosphere, family owned, and lots of choices. We've eaten at three trucks here so far and they all have been excellent!

The gumbo was also 10/10, cooked by someone that understands building flavors at every step.

I discovered this guy at Battle of the Bones last year & am grateful he found a more permanent…read morespace to run! The jamz are awesome when he mellows out & not just cooks, but makes MAGIC happen! It's no surprise that there's a lack in seating, but that goes with it being a food truck alley- & the tables/chairs are shared between him & the other truck there. It was nice to have a little raised platform where one could sit in the shade of a tented awning, so that was sweet. I got the tri-tip plate ($12) which comes with 1 of his many sides- definitely will need to come back for his black-eyed peas & rice when he isn't out. The greens that I DID get, he told me, were braised with SMOKED turkey! A fun twist on a classic that gave depth & dimension to the TENDER veg! The occasional bone found simply implied it was from the actual bird & not frozen. The tri-tip was WONDERFUL- he asked me if I wanted sauce- to which I happily declined... not to say his sauce isn't outstanding, because it is, but the natural smoke he managed to get on his meat kept me going wholeheartedly. And he had asked if I liked onions, to which he mentioned he "starts them first before adding the meat" & I'm glad he did- it was extra moisture & flavor I wasn't expecting. I, also, got a side of mac n cheese ($3 ala carte)- he did apologize that it wasn't hot, so to fix that he tossed it about in the STILL-sizzling pan my tri-tip had graced moments before- & I gotta say it added body & that much needed comfort in 'comfort food'. Not too saucy, not too rich, the right balance for an already powerful meal. Overall, some of the best BBQ in the biz! Highly recommend- at LEAST to say hello to the guy running it & catch some of them good vibes written all over his truck! If you don't feel good, you eat what does & he's hit the nail on the head!

* Note- this review is for Cali Qs food truck specifically- Yelp wants to put the name of the whole…read morelot instead * A little hidden gem in Medford that I can't believe I hadn't found yet- located in The Village shopping center at the end of Bennett and situated alongside other trucks on a lot near an unused portion of the parking lot- meaning plenty of parking :) A short simple BBQ menu- the staples of course- I had the pleasure to meet and experience Marty the owner- what an amazing personality and so much enthusiasm- I wanted to love the place right away- He let me sign a board out front and to leave a positive quote, what an awesome idea- he'll be taking pictures and starting over- creating an album over time :) they also have a small stage set up and plan on having karaoke nights outdoors, everybody can sit on their tailgates to eat and watch, really cool idea :) I ordered the beef ribs with greens as a side- they were so perfect.. he makes his own sauce and the greens were so good- he even took a moment to give me some green onions to have with the greens... an amazing experience all around and I will definitely be back to try everything else :)

The levels of perfection one gets off of a grilled cheese sandwich lies within this truck. Ever…read morehave someone make a grilled cheese for you and you ask what the secret ingredient is? Here I believe it's of love and passion for their business plus the high quality of ingredients used. The menu alone is well thought out. They have their top specialties, half or whole sandwiches, tots, fries, soups and if that doesn't make your mouth water you can create your own cheese melt or customize yours with add ons. I opted for my standard go to, grilled cheese with tomatoes and my side was fries. Can I tell you that this makes my mouth water reflecting on how crispy the bread, gooey the cheese, french fries dipped in the special sauce (yum), not to mention the grilled cheese chip which was first to go. An absolute go to if you're in the area.

So after visiting a job site for work, my coworker and I were on the hunt for some delicious food…read more At first we were on our way to the food trucks near the post office when my coworker spotted 'The Melt' food truck. Personally I had never heard of them, but she told me that they're know to make gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and that's when I knew we had to stop by. My coworker ordered the standard with a side of tots and a drink. I ended up asking the nice lady at the counter what she recommend for someone who was allergic to pork and was told about their turkey melt which is like the standard, but has a garlic mayo, grilled onions and mushrooms, and oven roasted turkey (my mouth is watering again) and I topped it off with a side of tots and melted cheese. As you can see from my picture we're lucky I was even able to remember to snap one before I devoured the whole thing. I do have a question about this food truck. I had asked if they were open on weekends and was told that they in fact were, but I can't seem to find their hours/location for Saturday and Sunday. Does anyone know?
