    This food truck has started popping up around my office lately. A coworker told me about it, and I…read moreinitially looked for it and couldn't find it. But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

    I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me…read moretell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.

    This is the best spot to get a healthy, delicious meal for a great price. My friend Chris…read morerecommended to go eat at the Sylvester's off Allentown Road in Camp Springs. Even though this isn't the location, I still had to write this long-over-due review. He ordered us both the Sylvester's steak platter with rice and salad. It was love at first bite! The steak strip was tender and juicy cooked to perfection, which was layed over a bed of garden vegeatble rice(my new favorite!) It is accompanied by a side of spring salad with a slice of tomato(wish they would use cherry tomatoes instead of plum), a slice of cucumber, and a lime wedge. It also comes with a side of ranch dressing. You definitly get your money's worth. The portion size is a big heaping helping and certainly, a certified belly buster! Ever since that day, I have been a a faithful customer returning frequently and always have a more than satisfying delicious meal! This is by far the best chain restaurant to go to when looking for a low cost, but high quality, meal. To avoid waiting for your food, as it is made fresh to order, I suggest calling in ahead of time. A steak dinner for 10 bucks?!?! Sing to me Paolo, this is what dreams are made of!!!

    This was a trip back down memory lane. My sissy order two fried red snapper combos. It's not quite…read moreas good as I remember but it was edible. The fish wasn't fried golden brown the oil appeared to be old. To my surprise the portion of the sides were really large. Both fish combos included fries (no salt); one had green beans and the other spicy cabbage. The fries were not golden brown but dark brown, again the oil probably needed to be changed. The green beans were okay but cabbage was too spicy for us.
