    The Sea Biscuit. Comes with the best fries.
    Mike S.

    Twisted Root really caught me off guard and in the best way. When coming to the food trucks I saw their name and figured it was going to a vegetarian or vegan food truck but boy was I wrong. They have meat and seafood!!! I ordered the Sea Biscuit which is a fried shrimp sandwich with a tasty sauce, cole slaw, and fried onions. This sandwich was amazing! One of the best shrimp sandwiches I have ever had. The bread was perfect, the Yum Yum Saucce was delicious and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The sandwich also came with fries which were also amazing. They had an amazing seasoning on them and I could eat them all day. Amazing food truck and I can't wait for them to be back.

    Loaded fries..mmm with chicken

    994TWISTING ROOTS was at Kanine Social and I was hungry. I didn't want bread so I ordered the loaded fries with chicken. The order was over $10 and was a shareable item it was so big. The chicken was generous and the sauce was spicy sweet and nice over the crispy fries. I now have lunch for the next day also.. :)

    Twisting Roots is better than Twisted Okie is better than Twisted T's Lol. I got the bikini bottom, which is a shrimp and crawfish sandwich. The ciabatta bun is just the right amount of hardness and stays together really well. The umami of the two shellfish becomes tangled together in the breading, and drenched in sauces, which work well with the veggies too. Delicious. The plantains have a good amount of sweetness and work well as a side.

    Food Truck in our Neighborhood

    One of our neighbors got the food truck to come to our neighborhood for dinner time. Food was amazing and having them in our neighborhood was such a great social experience during this covid19 time. Got to meet neighbors and enjoyed great food. Since the sandwiches were served cut in halves, my daughter and I split halves. I had the Bikini Bottom with shrimp, crawfish fried onions and special sauce served with seasoned fries and a can of soda. My daughter got the sea biscuit with shrimp and fried onions and all the fixins. Both sandwiches were amazing! And the price wasn't bad for the large sandwiches, fries and a drink. The Cajun flavors with the crispy fried onions, crawfish and shrimp tasted so good with the buttery toasted bread. Hope they come to our neighborhood again!

    Massive menu. Settled on the Twist Roots. The sandwich was filling, but it was quite pricy in my opinion. However it was very flavorful! Sweet plantains were alright - Didn't finish it. Sauce went great with the sandwich and plantains. This lunch set me back $17 minus tip. Ouch.

    Pollo en Fire wrap
    JiMmy P.

    The Twisting Roots food truck was onsite at Losco Park for a Losco Blue Back 2 School Bash. My wife and I ordered and shared three entrees. Both of us can definitely eat! 1. Pollo En Fire wrap - chicken served with aioli, tomatoes, fried onions, arugula and sauce. This wrap only cost $6 and it came with homemade chips and a drink. Great deal! 2. Pichi Cerdo - sofrito roasted pork with guava glaze topped with fried onions and plantain. 3. Carne de Bourbon - slow roasted skirt steak with a habanera maple glaze topped with fried onions and plantain. The aioli, tomatoes, and arugula were perfect with the sandwiches and wrap. They brought out the great flavors of each meat. Delicious! Each combo deals come with homemade chips and you can upgrade to seasoned fries for an additional $1. I hope I see them again soon because I would like to try their Twisted Roots. A tasty trio of pork, beef, and crispy fried crawfish with savory sweet pineapple glaze with fried onions and plantain. Doesn't that sound good?

    Always ready to try a new food truck and this was good stuff. Good flavor combinations and prices. I ordered the Pichi Cerdo - pork, guava glaze, fried onions (canned) and plantains but I didn't taste any plantains at all. Overall a good experience so I would try them again.

    Such a disappointing experience. We rarely patron food trucks, but this one was at an event we were attending. We ordered the chicken taco plate, a shrimp taco plate and a side of plaintains. The worker said for $2 more we could make it 2 tacos plus a side. We agreed and paid + tip. We received 1 plate instead of 2. We let the same woman know that this was incorrect, that we ordered 2 plates. She instructed us to wait while she got the 2nd plate. 10 minutes later she called us to the window to say that she did not charge us for the 2nd plate. I assured her she did, and added all the charges for her. She then changed the price from what was listed on the menu board and said that the combo plate was $14. I pointed out to her that was not what her menu says and in fact the #14 did not even appear anywhere on the menu. Another customer behind me also told her the same. We left with our food that now only fed half our party, only to find that we had half cooked fries and undercooked plantains. The buzz at the event amongst the crowd was how deceitful these Twisted Roots staff were and everyone saying they felt cheated by them.

    Came here on my way to the airport. I've been before but it's been years. They have an extensive…read moremenu and it was cheap. I got a veggie plate to go and it was only $12 for 4 sides. I got cornbread and a drink as well and waited for less than 10 minutes. Customer service was good ti myself and others from what I saw. The portions were huge and I had enough for two meals. Candied yams were good and so was the max snd cheese. I'll definitely be back when I'm in town. It's in a strip mall but definitely not the easiest to find.

    I've been coming to Sweet Mama's for a couple of years every time my husband and I visit…read moreJacksonville, so I was a little disappointed with this visit. The pork chop looked good, but it didn't seem seasoned, and there wasn't enough gravy on it to really be considered smothered. My husband's soda also had a strange aftertaste, which wasn't pleasant. On a positive note, the sides were absolutely delicious. The sweet potatoes, butter beans, rice, and cornbread were all flavorful and enjoyable. That's honestly what saved the meal for me. I know every restaurant can have an off day, and because we've had great experiences here in the past, we'll definitely give them another chance. This visit just wasn't up to the standard we've come to expect from Sweet Mama's.

    When I had a work trip for Jacksonville, I asked both my boss who was from Jacksonville and the…read moreoffice employees where they'd recommend to eat; this location was overwhelmingly suggested. Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite. Nonetheless, a great soul food stop if you are in the mood.
