Amazing food!!! Drove 2 hours just to give it a try and it was worth every minute and back! The staff were great. We met the legendary Pops and he had us laughing the whole time. Loved the experience and will definitely be coming back when I'm in the area. read more

THE BEST!!! Worth the wait! Came a little before they opened at 12 and can say it was worth the wait. The customer service is top notch, with the staff truly appreciating their customers. Opted for the steak and fries (extra sauce) and a side of tostones. Everything was delicious! I look forward to trying their other menu items. read more

The Colonial Grill - Steak and fries with sauce Tostones - Food Trucks Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Morristown, NJ - this is a VERY popular food truck that my husband has been raving about for years. So when a birthday party landed us in the neighborhood on a recent Sunday afternoon, he volunteered to make the pickup while the kid and I attended, as I suspected I would still need real food after cake and plain pizza. Two hours later(!!!), he finally emerges carrying two massive trays of steak over fries, which was all they had by late afternoon. Gone were the patacon (plantain) burger I had hoped for, the cheesesteak, and even grilled chicken. Perhaps because my expectations were so hyped up, I found the food rather anti-climactic. The steak was kind of bland and a bit tough, though rescued by the flavorful and creamy red & white sauces generously drizzled over the top. I'll grant that the portion size is absurd. Quantity over quality is not my thing, but that platter could easily feed two. (I enjoyed it more after I brought the leftovers home and improved it with some salt.) The hand-cut fries are fresh and good, but were soggy under the pile of meat, and sat in a small pool of grease resting at the bottom of the container. I would've enjoyed them more as a side. Hours are 12-5pm Tuesday through Sunday, but the line at 6pm on a Sunday still wrapped around the block, so they'll apparently serve until the food runs out, but if you come later in the day (hubs arrived mid-afternoon but didn't get to the ordering window til almost closing time), be prepared for limited options. I'm told the burger receives high marks, which I believe, but am allergic to lines so am unlikely to wait to find out. 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 as my husband really likes the owner (who wasn't there that day). read more

While most people have sushi as their first post-partum meal request, I wanted a steak and fries with truffle chimichurri from Colonial Grill. My husband drove from Morristown Medical Center to pick one up for me while I was with our newborn at the hospital, but the line for the cart was 1.5 hours long, which was too long for him to separated from us and our new baby while I recovered. Unfortunately he had to turn around empty handed, which was very disappointing for me. We returned again three weeks later, with our newborn, and again the line was around 1 hour long, which was too long to wait with a new baby. I wish they would do something to make their food more accessible and minimize wait times, because we have had to turn away twice! We finally placed an order in advance from their other, non-food-truck location. The menu here was limited to just the steak and fries, so I was in luck. The food was amazing, but probably would have been even better if we didnt have to do takeout, as I feel steak is best eaten on the spot and does not fare well with longer car rides. The fries were a little soggy, but the chimichurri sauce was AMAZING and my steak was still tender by the time it got home. Overall I would love to return when our baby gets a bit bigger and try some other menu items. The park next to the truck has a lovely ambiance so I would love to grab something to go and eat in the park. read more

The Colonial Grill - Food Trucks Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

Believe the hype about the Colonial Grill because it absolutely lives up to it. I went on a Sunday around 1:30 and the line was long, but it was definitely worth the wait. While you're waiting, they even give you a small sample of their fries and sauce to snack on. We ordered a chicken gyro, a burger, and the steak and chicken fries. Everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The portions are huge & honestly, two people (maybe even three) could share one tray. Customer service was a 10/10. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and fun. I had my dog with me and they even gave me a little steak for him, which was such a sweet touch. They're parked right by the Morristown Green, so you can grab your food and enjoy it in the park. They accept cash and all major credit cards, and they offer a discount if you pay cash. Drinks are limited to Coke and Jarritos (mandarin and pineapple), so if you want something different you may want to grab a drink elsewhere. Prices are fair for the amount of food you get. I'll definitely be back this summer for more. read more

Worth the hype & wait in line! Overall waited about 30 mins from waiting on line to order to reviving the food. (we did get free samples!) Very limited menu, the loaded fries being the star, but they have cheesesteaks and burgers too. We ordered the half & half fries for $28 and they didn't disappoint. Personally I liked the chicken better but the chimichurri was the best part to me. Also got it sauced up with the spicy sauce, which didn't have much spice to it. Everyone we encountered at the Colonial Grill was friendly and working hard. read more

I had the pleasure of visiting Colonial Grill! The Steak & Fries were perfectly cooked to a medium. The sauces were amazing - you can get them on the side or on the food. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. I also tried the Maduro (Sweet Plantains), which were delicious, but I forgot to take a picture. read more

Absolutely loved the sauces here, the fries were cooked well but next time I might ask if I can get them a little well done if that's possible. I will definitely get chicken next time instead of the steak because the steak had a little too much fat for my liking, but they cooked it really well so the pieces without fat were very redeemable. Will be coming back for the chicken fries and to try the cheesesteak maduro!!! amazing father son duo couldn't recommend supporting them enough. read more

The Colonial Grill - Plantain burger - Food Trucks Near Me - Morristown, New Jersey

We had heard a lot about this truck, so when we happened to find ourselves nearby, of course, we had to stop. Despite the fact that it was past the lunch hour but earlier than dinner, there was still a sizable line in place. The friendly folks came around with a sample of fries and the cilantro sauce, which was quite good. Serving size on the burgers and fries were generous and delicious! The Colonial Burger had so much flavor with cheese, red onions, lettuce, tomato, pink sauce, and cilantro sauce. Service was super friendly. So worth the stop! read more

Was my first time trying the social media viral steak and fries. It was good, very saucy as you can see. Steak was a little tougher than I expected but I guess you get what you paid for, since it was around $23. I couldn't eat too much because it made me feel very full and greasy afterwards. It also had a long wait of 30+ minutes but after you order they gave a little sample of their fries as a thank you read more

I've been wanting to try and happened to be near Morristown this weekend. We lined up around 11:30 and were 4th in line. Once they opened the ordering and getting our food was super fast! We got a steak and fries, a regular cheesesteak and a maduro cheesesteak. We wanted to try the patacon cheeseburger but unfortunate they weren't serving burgers - next time! Service was great. The dad was super friendly and engaging. We got a sample of the fries while we waited for our food. We had about a 40 minute drive home but the food was still delicious, even after reheating in the oven. All three things were amazing. They use a white cheese instead of yellow for the cheesesteaks and it's so good. The added maduros to the cheesesteak brings a nice twist. $55 for all 3 things and the portions are huge!! We had enough for two meals. This place is so worth the drive and wait (if the kind is long). We definitely want to come back and try the patacon cheeseburger. read more

The best steak and fries I've ever had. I will definitely be coming back. The sauce combination is perfect and the fries are cooked perfectly. I can't even count how many times I said "this is so delicious" as I ate it. I would definitely recommend to get all the toppings, they made for the most perfect combination. The tostones were also perfection. The amazing service took the experience up even further and we did not mind waiting at all. read more

Stopped at The Colonial Grill food truck in Hoboken and grabbed their signature plantain burger along with the steak & fries. The plantain burger was really unique -- instead of bread, it's pressed fried plantains holding together a juicy beef patty, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and a tangy sauce. It was hearty, flavorful, and surprisingly held together well. Definitely a creative twist if you want something different from the usual burger. The steak & fries was loaded -- tender steak slices piled over crispy fries, topped with a creamy sauce and some diced onions/peppers for extra flavor. It was rich and indulgent, like a full meal on its own. Service was quick and friendly even with a line, and the truck has a fun vibe with "Sauce it up!" as their theme. Overall, a great stop for comfort food with a creative Latin-inspired twist. - worth checking out if you're in Hoboken or spot them around NJ. read more

The Colonial Grill was recommended by one of my patients, and honestly, it ended up being one of the best food decisions I've made in a long time. Food: I had the steak frites with spicy sauce and garlic cilantro sauce... absolutely out of this world. The steak was perfectly cooked, the fries were seasoned just right, and the whole platter was more than enough for two people. I also grabbed a passionfruit smoothie that instantly transported me to Portugal -- bright, fresh, and refreshing. Service: The owner, Kevin, made me feel right at home by being super kind, welcoming, and patient. His father was great too, and you can tell they care about the experience. Be warned: the lines are very long, so get there early, it's first come, first serve and totally worth the wait. Aesthetic: It's a food truck setup right in the middle of the Morristown Green, and the line usually stretches down to the corner. Simple, street-side vibes with high-quality food that rivals any sit-down spot. read more

I had really high expectations which were not met. The sauces were amazing and steak was cooked but definitely didn't get medium well even though your asked how you want your steak which is very contradicting, also on top of that I waited 2 hrs on the line for the person who was taking orders to stop taking orders to step out the truck to take an order off the line for sum random guy named "Kev"which was very unprofessional knowing people have been waiting hrs in the line especially in this hot weather the son was so kind and nice he had amazing customer service, but I can't say the same about the person taking orders in the front she even got my order wrong which was frustrating because I drove all the way from NY. Idk if it was an off day but the food didn't leave me feeling fulfilled. Definitely an interesting experience, I would say try it for yourself read more

Worth the hype, 5/5! Got here 20min before open and was about 10-15th in line. Service was amazing, they handed out samples of fries to every person ordering. The workers are just genuinely friendly and personable folks, no other way to describe it. Ordered the steak and fries and would ABSOLUTELY order it again. They give you soooo much meat it's definitely worth the price. They'll grill the steak to your order of wellness. The seasonings drizzled on top were perfection, garlic and cilantro sauce & truffle chimichurri, not too heavy. I was really hungry and left completely satisfied, but if you've got a smaller appetite could definitely split an order. Plenty of spots around the park to plop down and eat. read more

Food Absolutely amazing! Steak melts right in your mouth. Fries are delicious. Sauce is out of this world. Service The wait was about 1 hour on a Sunday afternoon. The person taking the order was handing out free fries samples due to the long wait. Extremely friendly staff. Spoke with the owner(younger one). Had a great conversation with him. I find it great that he stops and chops it up a little with each and every customer even when they're extremely busy. This is what I feel differentiates them from other food businesses. That and their always positive energy. Ambiance Ambiance was great. Everyone seemed excited to try out their food. read more

Ordered: Steak & Fries (~$20): Top-Butt Sirloin Steak (cooked medium) with hand-cut fries, with our famous garlic and cilantro sauce & truffle chimichurri on top Colombiana La Nuestra Kola Soda (~$3) Aya's take: 20 people! That's how many people were standing in line 20 mins after opening. I've only ever seen rave reviews about The Colonial Grill and since we were in the area, I was excited to try the OG location. While waiting on line, I locked eyes with the owner, he jokingly said "you gave me the look" and offered me a sample of their hand-cut fries. They were delicious, fresh, and the chimichurri on top goes crazy. The Steak & Fries was a perfect plate to share with 2 people. The steak was tender, well-seasoned, and cooked medium/medium-well just how I like it! What really elevates the flavor are the garlic & cilantro sauce and the truffle chimichurri. Every bite is coated with a burst of flavors and was super satisfying and addicting. We washed it down with a Kola soda which just tied everything together so well. The staff were super friendly and really the only downside was the wait time. Check them out! read more

Great addition to the Morristown green! Friendly and accommodating staff who are super helpful when placing your order. Since the lien was long they offered French fries with their special sauce to tide us over while we waited. Food was good, get all 3 sauces as toppings - so good together. read more

This is sooooo worth the hype! $20 flat gets you a Latino man calling you papi as he teases you with a medium rare steaks piled high on a bed of fresh fries! Papi over here gives the best customer service and does their best to ensure you're not waiting too long. If you are waiting too long, I'm sure they'll notice and give you samples which goes a long way. I went to their Hoboken scheduled location and it was worth the bike ride from Jersey City. If you need to eat, this will be the only thing you need. The white sauce and chipotle sauce is fiyah! The onion chimichurri delicious. The fries crispy until the steaks oil starts dripping but still flavorful. I don't have anything bad to say except I can't wait to take my friends and family here the next time I can do I can get my fat ass to eat read more

While waiting on line you receive an order of free fries with the sauces on them. The owner was there and he was a cool guy very nice. There is seating nearby on park benches, decent amount of street parking near the truck. My only reason for this not being a 5 star is I'd like if the steak was sliced thinner. read more

I was influenced by TikTok to come here lol As noted by others, yes, there will be a wait, but also, yes, I do think it's worth it! It took about 25ish minutes in line to place my order, and then about 30ish minutes to get the food. I went with the steak and fries, and they even ask how you want the steak cooked. You have the option to sauce it up (which I did, minus the chipotle sauce), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was hoping to try the bbq pork, but they didn't have any that Saturday. I'll have to try again another time! While waiting, they give you a sample of fries, which is so nice. The owners were very sweet, and I'd love to come support them again! read more

I come here often and I'm always blown away with the product. The steak and fries are the best steak and fragile you'll ever have. I've gone to many different locations and I get disappointed every time when it's not like this, which makes me know that I can't go anywhere else this place is the end all be all. Amazing service, family Ran, and an ambience that keeps you coming back.

First off you see more than a dozen people standing in front of this truck. The food is made to order. The steak and fries is amazing. They cook it all to order so it takes a little time but honestly I've waiting longer at a McDonalds. They give you a little boat of some fries and their white sauce with a parsley like chimichurri. To eat while u wait. Who does that! Omg that was wonderful. I don't know what's in the sauce, but it's delicious. My steak and fries were done before I even finished the little sampler of fries. Delicious! they add that white sauce with a chimichurri on top. I'm not an exhaust person so I would liked less white sauce but honestly that sauce is so good. I didn't mind it. I could've used a little extra salt on the steak, but I also like salty foods. The sauce is amazing. The steak and fries were delicious!! you have to try it if you are in the Morristown area by the green. read more

Amazing food and great energy from the owner. The owner saw my wife and I towards the end of the line with our baby and he called us to the front of the line to take care of us first. It was a very hot day so this was very generous of him to take care of us so quickly. Thank you for the amazing experience! read more

Worth the hype, but can't wait until I can just get this on the fly. Thanks to the internet there will be a bit of a wait when you go, but the food is sooooo delicious. They go above and beyond to keep people informed and make sure you're taken care of. The sample of fries is a nice touch and holds you over until you get your food. Get the steak and fries medium, with all of the sauces! I even got a bottle to take home, which I've used at home for salads. I can tell they care about their customers and are receptive to feedback. read more

First off: Burger - 10 Fries - 10 Service - 10 Location - 10 Okay, let's start off with the taste and the quality of their food. Three words: Divine & Top Notch I have only had meat probably a dozen times in the past 8 years, but when I saw this place on YouTube I was like today is a great day to eat meat. Me and my girlfriend were hitting up some breweries in the area and we made plans to go here afterwards and my gosh am I glad we did. We walked up to order our food and everyone was vibing to this place while waiting for their food. It's in a cool spot right in front of the fountain at The Morristown Green. So, after a short wait in the line the guy working who I assume is the owner/son was very welcoming, friendly and courteous. He asked if we had been there before and we said no so he said let me give you some fries to try while you're ordering. Wow, just wow! The flavors on that little bit of fries he gave us was on a different level of flavor town. We then proceeded to order the colonial burger and fries and he asked us how we wanted it cooked(medium of course) and what we wanted on it and I said make it how you like it and he did. After about 15-20 he walked over to the window and said that it was almost done. Then minutes later the father/owner I assume walked over and said our name and we both looked at it and smiled. He asked if wanted it sauced up and we both said, Hell Yeah! So we took our burger, fries, and Coke Zero and sat on a bench in front of the fountain which is almost directly in front of the food truck and sat down and dug in. I don't think either one of us was prepared for the incredible flavor this burger has. I took the first bite and looked at her and said, OMG! She then grabbed it and took the next bit and said, OMG! I don't know any other words that describes their burger and fries except, OMG! I am thankful this place is in business and I wish them the best in their future endeavors and I hope to see their business popping up all around the Morristown area. Thank you both for the kind service and top notch burger and fries. Me and my girlfriend both agree that this is definitely in our top 3 burgers ever and we have had some great ones all over the world. Stay blessed and best of luck :) read more

My boyfriend and I went to Colonial tonight. My first time but not his. Him and his friend are crazy for this truck. We waited in line for quite some time, were offered fries to munch on while we waited which was so nice. And on top of waiting for a while, the owners son gave us two beverages on them. It was totally worth the wait. The only thing I want to recommend is a knife with the plastic fork so I can cut the meat up a bit more for myself. Other than that. Amazing. The staff is so personable too. We'll be back. Thank you! read more

Holy smokes, I've seen this place on TikTok and Instagram, and I've always wanted to try it. Usually see it with lines that wrap around the block or at least the town Square located in Morristown New Jersey. I got there at about 5:30 in the evening to grab a dinner and the crew that was working in the food truck were well choreographed. I learned that this is a family business run by a father and son and you always see on their social media feed giving out samples of their fries with their chimichurri sauce and their garlic truffle sauce. I'm here to tell you this is one of the best meals I've ever had, let alone from a food truck. The combination of these two sauces are unbelievable. I put myself in the capable hands of the young man at the counter, who made me steak over a bed of fries, a staple often featured as part of their feed, and a cheeseburger with fries and chimichurri sauce on them. I couldn't get over how good they were. Cheeseburgers are my absolute pig out food and this was definitely a top five burger for me. Ever. As I got my food, there was definitely a larger line forming as the dinnertime crowd came ambling up from the town Square where the food truck is parked. It was a beautiful October night and I was able to sit on a bench right near the truck and eat my food. Needless to say there was a lot left over and I brought it back to the hotel room with me. If you are anywhere near Morristown New Jersey, I cannot recommend this food truck more. You will absolutely not regret it. read more

We drove from Harlem after hearing about this food truck. It was worth the drive and the wait in line. The service was great and provided with a smile even thought they were under pressure. The sample fries were definitely welcomed. Like everyone says the price was unbelievable, the portion was amazing, and it taste great too. I wish I had gotten the spicy sauce too, it would have been the icing on the cake. Loved that the fries were freshly cut. The steak was tender. We didn't want it to get cold so we ate in the car. Totally worth it and so were the leftovers! Also, absolutely, loved the updates along the way. It removed any let down once we arrived. We knew what to expect. Nice, clean truck, totally unexpected. Everything was run so smooth. Thanks for Saturday and Sunday dinner. We will be back to try the chicken. read more

I had been dying to try the colonial grill for a while! Finally made it today and thank god the line wasn't terrible, waited about half an hour in line and once we placed our order it took less than 10 minutes to get our food!

The fry sample was a nice touch and it gets you ready for your meal! Definitely give this place a try and don't fear the line! read more

I enjoy food trucks but it is rare that I go out of my way to tell others about trying a food truck. This is one of those trucks. You will wait a while. You may even be wondering why you are waiting when you can easily pop into any other restaurant in Morristown and have your food brought to you in the time it would take to order from The Colonial Grill. But as they say, good things come to those who wait and in this case you will be glad you did. First time visitor? This is a question that you will be asked. Answer yes and you are graced with a complimentary side of fries. Not sure what to order? May I suggest the plantain burger or cheesesteak? No matter what you decide, it will be the right decision. The food is fresh and there is plenty of it. Enjoy your food in the park, in your car, or at home. Take comfort in knowing that not all food trucks are equal and that this is one that not only cares about quality but customer service. After being treated like a valued customer, I will go out of my way to drive the hour it takes to get here and wait in line because i know it will be worth it. read more

I preface by saying I'm a food critic and it's very hard to get a 5 star review from me. I finally tried this place out yesterday. My daughter and I ordered the cheesesteak and steak and fried to share both. Steak and fries review- Even though the steak and fries is their popular dish, the meet was cooked well done (ordered medium rare), some pieces were so chewy it was impossible to swallows. I give it 3.5 stars. Cheesesteak- this was better than the steak and fries. The meat was cooked perfectly, great consistency and flavor. I give it 4.5 stars. Other things to note, I had to deduct a star for the time and value. You will probably wait over an hour easily for your food in the spring and summer. We got there before they opened and still waited 40 mins. And the over value because of their high prices is not good. We spent over $50 for a party of two to get lunch from a food truck. Pretty crazy... read more

Yes - it is worth the hype. Sooooooo good. I found a spot right next to the truck on a rainy day and there wasn't a line, so I figured this was a good opportunity. Let me just say, the main guy running the show is very personable and super friendly. I got the steak and fries. And you may wonder - why are people driving an hour for steak and fries. It's all in that dang sauce. You want to keep scooping up the sauce and eating just that. He asked me which sauce I wanted and I just said "put it all on there". I think there are 2 sauces? I was certainly WOW-ed by this food truck. read more

If i could give this place a higher rating i would! Infinity rating/10! Ive made a trip here multiple times already and the 40 minute drives that i take is so worth it. The food has always hit every single time and i always end up taking back extra orders for home for the next day and for the rest of the family to try. Service: 10/10 best service we've ever received. It's a food truck ran by a Colombian dad and his son Kevin cooking up crazy good food! They're always attentive and finish serving the food in front of you with all the amazing sauces. On the cold day we went, they kept out hot chocolate for us to serve ourselves with to keep warm and even a sample of the fries while we wait. They have always taken care of us with the great food every single time we've gone! Food: 10/10 the steak and fries with the chimi and garlicky sauce just pair together so well! My order, medium rare extra extra all sauces and it never disappoints! Be prepared to wait a long line especially weekends so dress according to the weather!! read more

Probably one of the best food trucks in NJ. 1) I got the steak and fries. It was excellent and affordable. I also recommend getting it "sauced up". 2) Also, they accept Apple Pay and credit cards, which is great. 3) It is long lines, but they have excellent service. read more

Food is Amazing!! Will and the team are such a delight!! My husband and I love the half and half fries!!

Luckily got fourth in line as they were opening. By time we got done ordering, line was already down the block Got a cheesesteak de madaro (sweet plantains). Ribeye steak cooked perfectly. Onions soft, sweet plantains added nice balance. The real closer was the garlic sauce! Has a mild tang and the garlic punches through without overtaking other flavors. Def worth the wait!!! read more
