10/10. Everything was GREAT. The wings are crispy, the Mac is flavorful, the collard greens are flavorful. The blueberry cornbread is nice and moist. I will be back. ——— I went back the day after. Walked away with the fried catfish, banana nut cornbread and the fruit punch. The catfish was really good, crispy and nice. I took the leftovers to work for lunch and even when reheated it was good. The banana nut cornbread is amazing. It is really good. Heated up, it’s even better. The fruit punch was very sweet, I had to dilute it with a bottle or more of water.

VERY GOOD FOOD! It was definitely made with love. I would certainly get it again. The wings were crispy. The rice was good. The fries were tasty and the mac & cheese was delicious! I have no complaints. The customer service was good too. I highly recommend!! Surpassed my expectations!

A bit disappointing considering what positive things I had seen about this place on social media. The honey jerk chicken was super inconsistent; it was uncomfortably spicy for some bites, sweet and enjoyable for some bites, and completely bland in other parts. Most of it was dry. The rice under it didn’t seem too fresh. However, the mac and cheese and coconut yams were very good. Overall, the heart is there but the execution is not.

Opened til 10pm? Really? And I did confirm with a call. When I arrived there 8.15 they were already closed and boarded up. Bad business. Actually when I called i did say I was coming by After work. Nothing additional was explained. Actually I did walk into a food pick up building where I saw 2 men talking and noone at the window. I even asked them but they didn't know. Im not confused. You should put clear signage about specific instructions. Since then I been calling and I guess you're even too busy to answer for your customers....

Hi CbM, we were open. You just needed to walk into the building like everyone else does. The food truck is not always open because we are extremely busy and can’t serve as many customers from the truck as the kitchen.. however, it’s never boarded up. the address is listed as 1140 Utica because you have to look up at the building number and walk into 1140 Utica, we would’ve gladly explained that to you over the phone if we knew you were confused. Thanks for stopping by

I’m extremely disappointed with the food on this visit. I ordered the fried chicken with seafood mac and cheese, seafood cornbread, broccoli, and garlic herb rice. Unfortunately, most of the meal fell short. The rice was hard and undercooked, the broccoli was completely bland with no seasoning or flavor, and while the fried chicken had decent seasoning, it was very soggy. The seafood mac was the one highlight, it had good flavor but the “seafood cornbread” was definitely not as described. It was essentially just regular cornbread with Cajun butter on top, which felt misleading. I genuinely wanted to like this,especially since we’d been looking forward to trying it for a while but for nearly $50, this just wasn’t worth it. Sadly, I won’t be returning. Order at your own risk.
