    Nice ice cream shop in the mountains of Southwest Virginia. Lots of flavors, friendly staff and just a home style location.

    Thai This Food Truck - Spicy Pork Rice Bowl

    I alway love eating at food trucks because I never know what I am going to get! Generally on…read moreTuesday they are park by food lion. When I saw them I instantly parked my car and approached the truck. The menu looked really small, but they say they rotate their menu a lot so who knows maybe they won't have these items next time. I looked at the menu and saw that they had spring rolls! When I got to the window the lady at the register told me they ran out of the pork ones so I got three vegetarian spring rolls and a spicy tofu rice bowl! Service was really friendly. The food came out pretty fast. Now the overall meal was quite pricey even for a food truck. Each spring roll was $2 and the rice bowl was 8.99. So I brought it back to my place and was ready to chow down. I started with the spring rolls, and man were they good. I never had Thai spring rolls before so I was a little surprised, but they had noodles in them! Spring rolls I would say 5/5 a must get item. Now for the rice bowl it looked appetizing so I went in for the first bite and noticed I hit celery... It always shocked me when I ate Asian food how some places add celery to something. I am not a big fan of celery in Asian food so I took it out and kept eating. The sauce was spicier then I thought it would be. So I struggled trying to finish. What was amazing though was that green cilantro sauce they had. If I could I would just buy that sauce it is amazing! The tofu was also cooked well. I give the rice bowl probably a 3/5. Overall, I gave the rating of 4 because I just averaged the scores. I say if your going to this food truck, definitely get the spring roll. It is a little pricey, but out of the two items I thought the spring roll was far superior. I'll definitely come back to try their spicy pork rice bowl and the panang curry.

Heard great things about this food truck from other people but was not very blown away or overly impressed, however, look forward to trying other menu items. Food Quality: 3 stars Ordered the Spicy Pork Rice Bowl, which as AVERAGE. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The pork was cooked well, not dry/overcooked, and had plenty of kick from the spicy tomato sauce, but felt like it was missing something. Maybe not enough sauce? The cilantro-jalapeno dressing was good and I wish there was more, drenching the dish. All of this was over a bowl of white rice. The Spicy Pork Rice Bowl costs about $10 after tax, which isn't bad since it is deceptively filling. Although I probably won't try this menu item again, I don't regret trying it and look forward to trying their other items. Service/Experience: 4 stars No problems with the service/experience. They rotate their location throughout the New River Valley area, from Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Radford. They post their menu items and schedule on their website. The menu items posted on their website is their entire menu, however, they select a few items off that list to sell for that day. Food came out relatively quickly and the workers were friendly and helpful. They do accept credit/debit cards which is convenient. I visited the food truck when they were parked at the Auto Spa in Blacksburg, which has plenty of parking around the area.

    Tucked away in the heart of Pembroke, Virginia, Bluegrass BBQ delivers everything you'd hope for…read morefrom a true small-town gem. From the perfectly seasoned fried fish to the smoky, flavorful jerk pulled chicken, every bite tasted like it was made with pride. And then came the surprise star of the meal--the hush puppies. Crispy and golden on the outside, warm, soft, and pure comfort on the inside. What truly made this experience unforgettable was Albert, better known as "Vinny de Vincent." His passion for cooking is contagious. As he shared the story behind his recipes, his cooking process, and his vision of serving both his community and the world, it became clear that this is more than a restaurant--it's a story of second chances, reinvention, and purpose served on a plate. His hospitality made us feel like family the moment we walked through the door. If you're looking for authentic Southern flavor, genuine hometown hospitality, and a meal prepared with heart, Bluegrass BBQ earns a well-deserved 5 out of 5 from me. This is the kind of place that reminds you why small-town America still has some of the best food--and the biggest hearts. #BluegrassBBQ #PembrokeVirginia #SouthernCooking #SmallTownHospitality #CulinaryGoodness

Pretty much everywhere we have tried in the SWV area is mediocre at best. Finding good properly slow smoked brisket, ribs and pulled pork is getting harder and harder to find, or at a decent price. Well, you can stop looking if you're near the area and stop into Bluegrass! First, the brisket is fantastic. Not overly fatty, well smoked, grainy and very tasty. I had it with a dollop of the Bourbon Sauce and Traditional BBQ sauce. Absolutely near perfect. Next up are the Ribs. These dry rubbed smoked baby back cut style are meat falling off the bone delicious. Again, I drizzled just a small bit of Bourbon & Traditional Sauce on them which enhanced a nice sweetness. Next up we tried the Pulled Pork with a bit of vinegar and molasses which was succulent with a great taste through and through. For sides we had the beans, Mac n cheese, sweet potato casserole & hush puppies with butter. As I said, by far the best we have had in over a 100 mile radius. This is authentic slow smoked meats, dry rubbed, not drenched in sugary sauce. You control any flavor of sauce you want at the table with several great selections. The Bourbon and Traditional were my favorites. Because of the rarity finding honest and authentic smoked bbq like this, I wish I could give more than 5 stars, as it's the closest to Texas Slow Cooked you will find in the Southern Virginia / West Virginia area. Lucky for us it's not far, as we will be coming back to enjoy this wonderful family geared place, with amazing service tucked away in sleepy ol' Pembroke VA. And if you doubt any of what I've said, my tray picture below says it all, from a 3 meat combo w/sides, clean as a whistle. It was that good!
