On Friday's, the truck is out at the Manchester Center farmer's market. We tried the jerk wings, pulled pork sandwich, hush puppies, and sweet potato fries. I would say the wings are the crown jewel of the menu. They remained crispy despite the delicious sauce that was slathered on it. The sauce was quite delicious itself, with just the right amount of sweetness and spice. The pulled pork was dressed in a "sweet and sassy" sauce, which was rather tangy. It seemed to be more of a vinegar based sauce. The coleslaw was also on the tangy side. The bun was slightly toasted as well, a nice added touch. Next on the list, hush puppies. They were great! Crispy and slightly spicy with a hint of jalapeño. On to the sweet potato fries; they were different. There was some type of sweet savory seasoning on the fries. It reminded me of Thanksgiving. Overall, the food tasted good. I would definitely check this place out again, especially since they were not serving mac n cheese on the day we went out to try their food. Next time fore sure!

I was one of those people last Saturday and I completely understand the loyalty now. got the 2 meat plate, brisket and ribs, with sides. the brisket had that smoke ring, that deep color, the kind of bark on the outside that you only get from doing it right with real wood. not gas, not shortcuts. actual BBQ. the ribs pulled clean off the bone without being mushy. both were exactly what they were supposed to be. sides were housemade and good. nothing felt like an afterthought. its inside Peacock Market in Clovis which is a fun setup, kind of a hidden gem situation. the prices are beyond fair for the quality, a 2 meat plate for $20 is genuinely a deal when the meat is this good. go early. follow them to know when they're open. and don't be the person who shows up at 4pm wondering why its gone.

I got 1 pound of tri tip for $24. My husband and I shared it for lunch and we were satisfied. The meat was so juicy, tender, and flavorful! I was really impressed!

I want to start this review by saying I do not give low scores often. Even with that mindset, I…read morestruggled between a 1-star and a 2-stars review. I chose 2-stars because I did eat everything. I feel terrible because I know that a food truck is not an easy business to run. I love to give the benefit of the doubt to small business. Having that said, I feel like this meal was highway robbery...... I ordered the trio plate. I was told that it is the largest plate they have and the best way to sample all they have to offer. The selling point is that I was told it can feed two people or me twice. That was enough for me to order. After credit card fees, taxes and tip, I was out $30.00. For this price, my expectations are high. I figure if I can indeed eat twice, then $15.00/meal is a lot easier to justify. My food was ready quickly which was appreciated. When I grabbed the bag, I quickly noticed the weight wasn't as heavy as I was expecting. When I opened the container, I was quickly disappointed with the quantity of food I received for $30.00. Unfortunately, the quality wasn't up to par either. Don't take my word for it, see the picture. I'll start with the sides: Green Beans: These green beans looked nothing like the pictures on their menu. The picture on their menu shows fresh long green beans. These were 100% from a can. They were so soggy. Beans: Look at the picture. Look at how low they are filled. I had three spoon-fulls of actual beans and then a ton of watery sauce. The beans were also slightly undercooked. They had a bit of a crunch to them. They were a lot better than the Green Beans though. The meats: Pulled Pork: This was easily the best thing on my plate. The pork was tender and had a good amount of sauce. I highly recommend the pulled pork if you must eat here. The only problem is that I had three bites and it was gone. Tri-Tip: I had three tiny medallions of Tri-Tip. These were definitely cut toward the end of the tri tip. There was a lot of tough fat right in the middle of the Tri-Tip. Each tiny medallion had a 50/50 ratio of edible meat and fat. The flavor was nothing memorable. If this was someone's backyard BBQ, I would appreciate it and eat. However, I would in no way try to convince them to open a restaurant and serve that tri-tip. "Smoked" Brisket: I received 2 large pieces of brisket. Before I say anything, look at the picture and I think it will do the justice. The brisket is even drier than it looks in the picture. The outside had a jerky like texture. The inside was somewhat tender, but not what you expect from a supposedly smoked brisket. I refuse to believe that brisket is slow smoked like the menu advertised. Look at the picture, there is no sign of a smoke ring. There is also zero smoked flavor. This tastes like it was cooked on a gas grill then finished in an oven. I say this without the slightest bit of exaggeration, this was the most disappointing brisket I have ever eaten. Keep in mind, I was once server brisket from Panda Express. The first time I used my smoker, I overcooked a brisket. That brisket was better than what I was just over charged for. At least my overcooked brisket had a smoke ring and smoke flavor. Overall, I feel like everything was skimped. The portions and the quality of food I was served were poor. There was no passion on that plate. It seemed like the mindset was more along the lines of "How little quality and quantity can I serve to get away with these prices." With so many BBQ options in town, you better offer up something special to stand out. I really hope that my order was a one time anomaly. Maybe the smoker went out the night before? Maybe the tri-tip supplier gave them bad quality of cuts. Maybe the fresh green beans ran out so they resorted to a can? Maybe the main cook was out sick and the person covering did the best he could. Maybe not!?!? For the sole purpose of revising this review, I would be willing to give this place another try. I hate leaving reviews like this after only one try. However, it is hard to justify spending another $30 to likely be disappointed yet again. I want to re-emphasize that I don't take this low review lightly. I understand that this is your livelihood. I'm hoping that this review hits home and encourages change. If that does happen, then the benefits of this negative review will greatly outweigh the negatives. If no change is made, then the path is likely paved regardless of my review.

The pulled pork sandwich was excellent, with contrasting textures and balanced flavors that…read morecombined smoky, tender meat with tangy sauce, crunchy slaw, and a soft, toasted bun. It was succulent, saucy, and deeply comforting. The pork was rich and exceptionally moist without being mushy, carrying deep smoky and savory flavors from the slow-smoking process and well-seasoned rub. The BBQ sauce was equally well-balanced--subtly spiced, tangy, and slightly sweet. It complemented the richness of the pork rather than masking it, and I appreciated that it was neither overly drippy nor sticky. The vinegary housemade slaw added the perfect contrast, bringing fresh crunch along with a briny, acidic sharpness that balanced the savory meat beautifully. The garlic-butter French roll held everything together nicely without falling apart, yet remained soft enough to absorb the sauce. I was not nearly as impressed with the tri-tip sandwich, which happens to be their best seller, though I still enjoyed it overall. The tri-tip itself was on point: thinly sliced, tender, medium-rare smoky beef piled onto a garlic-toasted French roll and complemented by tangy BBQ sauce. It delivered smoky, savory, juicy flavors with a satisfying contrast between the tender meat and the crunchy bread, which held the juices well without becoming soggy. That said, I thought the sandwich could have used a little more meat, which likely explains the popularity of the Jump Tri-Tip -- a larger version of the regular tri-tip sandwich that adds more meat on the same excellent bread for only a few dollars more. I also felt the sandwich needed an additional element to elevate it further--perhaps caramelized onions for sweetness, melted cheese for richness, or a sharper horseradish cream or garlic aioli to add more depth and contrast. Service was warm and friendly throughout, and I am always greeted with a smile.

There is also a walk-up window in the front and a few tables on the side for outdoor seating that he says they plan to fix up for customers. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was very good. The waffles were soft and had a good flavor while the chicken was freshly fried with good batter. The only thing is that the chicken was a little soggy because it was hot when they put it in the box, so I would recommended they air out the chicken with some ventilation in the box. The prices are great and the quality of the food is great as well. Definitely recommend. The wait can be a bit long because the food is fresh, but it was under 10 minutes, and it seems you can fix that problem by ordering online. This is the chicken spot's second location, with their first one in Visalia. Hope they do well!

I grabbed the ribs and brisket at the Clovis Farmers Market pop-up, and apparently that wasn't enough, because I found myself back the next day at the River Park pop-up for the smoked chicken and pork belly. When you voluntarily return for more barbecue 24 hours later, that's usually a good sign. I worked my way through all the sides, but the baked beans with Lao sausage? were particularly interesting. That little hit of lemongrass through the sweetness? Yeap, that worked. But the real standout for me was the sap sauce. Those flavors cut through the richness of the smoked meats beautifully! bright, sharp, savory, spicy, exactly what the situation called for. Jerry, you're doing something really damn good here. Keep the smoke rolling and keep it coming!
