    Sweet Baby Ray's
    Smaly K.

    The food truck came to our work building, and I do like to try grilled sandwiches that aren't your typical grilled cheese sandwiches. I got the Sweet Baby Ray's which came with ham and bbq sauce. I really enjoyed the bbq sauce with it. It was grilled well; the bread had great texture. Would definitely try another one.

    Meat Luvvas 1/2

    Yum!! And the guy at the counter was happy to split the sandwich into 2 plates - unexpected for this kind of place. The food was fantastic and made us forget about the seating situation outside the market.

    I ate at The Cheese Pit during a trip to the Fremont Sunday Market. The staff were welcoming and pleasant to interact with. Luckily I didn't have to wait too long to receive my order, as it was raining with no available covered areas. I ordered the Turkey Bliss, which was good overall, but the quantity of ingredients in it made it very messy to eat. My hand was covered in oil and sauce by the end of it. And it was a bit pricey for a grilled cheese sandwich... after tip/tax it was around $16.

    super friendly staff, super nice, as well patient despite having to work out in rainy cold weather (went during an event) had a few options for various grilled cheeses including vegan options, & had some options for drinks & sides to go along. we got the normal grilled cheese, & it was the most amazing, melt in mouth worthy grilled cheese. not to cheesy, not hard bread, fresh tasting, & not greasy / super buttery : all the perfect components - it felt like it was made with much love & heart ! 100/10 would recommend, & would love to try more from them !

    I don't actively seek out grilled cheeses but every time I see them on social media, I want to drool a bit. The Cheese Pit really hit the spot and satisfied those cravings. The cheese pull was not as exciting as I've seen, but the taste was mouthwatering. We got The Old Skool and Meat Luvva's. The Old Skool - a fantastic, basic grilled cheese on sourdough which is key. Cheese pull was weak here but loved each bite. Meat Luvva's - this was surprisingly filling, but I should've expected that with all the meat. A sweetness accompanied each bite due to the honey mustard which could be disguised as maple syrup if I was blind folded and only had one bite. It was pretty sweet. Each bite was full of meat so they did not skimp nor layer poorly.

    I have been so looking forward to trying out this food truck. They update their locations on FB page. This time around it was a place that was near to me and I couldn't miss. We reached them at South Lake Union Saturday market with many other good eats food truck. Reached their as early as we could to avoid traffic. Got parking after a while and rushed to the truck. We ordered their:- The pepper bomb - OMG! It was bomb be it in flavor and spiciness. The sauce that they apply to the sandwich pairs so beautifully with the hotness from the jalapenos. Soft sourdough bread with melted cheese sweet tangy sauce and spicy jalapenos. I was in heaven. My husband who is not a cheese person, (I know, how could he not, hehe) loved grilled cheese for the first time ever. It was that good. The quantity for the price is less, but what they gave was worth the price. Cant wait to visit them again when they are nearby.

    Food is maybe 3.5 stars but the 45+ minute wait for 1 sandwich at 1230 seems like either poor planning or bad service.

The ramen was incredibly flavorful--rich, comforting, and exactly what you want. Everything tasted fresh and well thought out.

The kids got to pick out a Pokémon card at the bar (huge win), and our waitress went above and beyond--she was so warm and attentive. She even brought the kids Pocky for dessert, which was such a sweet touch. We also ordered the fried chicken--$8 for a huge portion, which is an amazing deal. The dipping sauce was delicious. Personally, I'd prefer the pieces to be a bit smaller, but that's just a minor preference, As well as a real utensils would be nice over plastic. Overall, such a great experience with amazing food, kind service, and thoughtful details. We will definitely be back!

The atmosphere was lively given its shared space within a brewery. The kiosk ordering system was fairly straightforward. The ramen does already include half an egg so only add an additional if you want 1.5 eggs! They also text you once your order is ready. The ramen itself was delicious- the miso bold was rich and flavorful, and not too spicy. The spice really comes through at the end when just the broth remains. My husband enjoyed the classic shoyu ramen and chicken kaarage, although we weren't able to finish the chicken kaarage because the ramen was just so filling. This is going to be my go-to ramen spot in Fremont/Wallingford.

I didn't like their online ordering system since I tried ordering a pizza and the next possible pick up was on Tuesday (it was a Friday). So not sure if they don't do same day ordering or not, and there's no phone number so we couldnt call. We ended up ordering at the restaurant and had to wait 40 minutes... The pizza was pretty good. I had the same feedback where if you eat it right away, everything would just come off the pizza, and makes a big mess. If you wait for it to cool down, it was better. We even saved a couple of slices to eat as cold pizza the next day and it was probably one of the better cold pizza we had in a really long time. The corner crust was good and soft and crispy, but the middle ones were soggy and moist from all of the toppings. Pepperoni was a little salty for me but it was good with the olives. Overall, good pizza place

The a la carte price here is a tad over three dollars per taco. The ingredients here are good, and the 'fixins' that are provided are excellent. Why just 'ok' for a review? Well, I took what was handed to me and pretty much attacked it immediately, yet the tortillas used simply could not hold up one bit and both tacos feel completely apart into a goulash of food on the plate. I didn't have any utensils so I had to eat everything by pretending it was Ethiopian food and meant to be scooped up with fingers. Alas, I was in business suit so this was not optimal. Was the food good? It was better than okay, but not great, definitely not wow. The meet needed more flavor, and in fact the entire experience was more bland than memorable. It's definitely acceptable food truck fare, but maybe you will find it better served in a bowl and with a fork than eaten as tacos.

This is THE spot to come before Mariners games or nearby concerts and nobody can convince me otherwise. I've tried them several times in the past and now have my dad hooked as well. Their signature Caribbean Roast sandwich is absolutely phenomenal and I have the hardest time ordering anything else when I'm here. I have tried the nachos version of it before as well, and that's equally delicious. The key is definitely that succulent roasted pork. I will say that the sandwich version is MESSY so don't wear white, and also just be mindful if you have plans after. This year, my dad decided to order a pre-seasoned and smoked turkey from Paseo and my GODDD it was good! We made a gravy from the drippings as well which turned out so good too.

While it's a good sandwich, it felt a bit heavy; I really found myself looking for more acid to cut through the fat and grease. I'm glad I was sharing with Jenny because it's quite a lot for one person. I also noticed toward the end that the bread was burnt. Overall, it's a solid sandwich, but between the stomach issues and the char, I'm not sure I'd go back.

This one was pretty much just a regular soft taco with beef inside. I wasn't a huge fan of the taco shell, as it was a little soft. In terms of the filling, I did really like the amount of beef in there, but I thought it was kind of dry and chewy. The beef being like this was something I noticed in all 3 tacos - but it was the most noticeable in this one I really liked the quesabirria taco - that extra layer of cheese did so much for the flavor. For one, it provided another layer between the taco shell and the cheese, and second, the cheese itself was really good and there was a lot of it. Because of this, the beef inside just tasted better than the regular birria - and the shell on the outside didn't feel as soft as the first one. My favorite of the three was the mulita, which came as two small tortillas with the filling inside. the reason I liked this the most was because it was the crispiest of the three - there were actual crunchy parts to this tortilla that weren't there in the other ones. This one also had cheese like the birria, but due to the slight advantage in crunchiness it's my favorite Of course, what really brings this entire meal together is the consommé. This is just absolutely fantastic - and is the best part of the meal by far. The broth is salty, flavorful, and just adds so much to everything it coats. When dipping one of the tacos in it, I would let the consommé wash over the beef that remains, essentially liquidifying it, and this made the beef so much juicier and changed it from dry to flowing with the juices of the broth. It's hard to describe how much this enhanced the two tacos and the mulita. There's also a pretty generous amount of it Another thing I have to mention is the spicy salsa - which was incredibly flavorful. really loved that The only thing I would really say as a negative (other than the beef that I mentioned before) is that these tacos/mulita really aren't crunchy at all. I wish the tortillas would've been fried more to really get that crispiness that I prefer in tacos - an oil coating on the outside would've also helped. I also usually don't mention this in my reviews, but the person at the front desk was amazing! For the price of about 15 dollars, I would say this is relatively decent - however, while the portion size looks big, it's not really that filling

Everything arrived at once rather than in courses, but it didn't take away from the experience. Every dish was packed with flavor. The aloo pies had a taste reminiscent of samosas :: crispy on the outside with a warmly spiced filling :: and were served with a tangy chutney that complemented them perfectly. The jerk chicken was the standout. Tender, juicy, and beautifully seasoned with warm, balanced spices :: it was easily the highlight of the meal. It came with rice and peas (beans), which were some of the best we've had, along with a simple green salad that surprised us with its freshness and bright citrus vinaigrette.
