Their food truck is a travelling Texas Style Wood Burning BBQ rig that cranks out Kosher Barbecue…read more The truck is cleverly named the Wandering Que and as it travels it creates pop-up restaurants across the metropolitan tri-state area, down toward Philadelphia, and up into New England. Today, we caught up with the Que it as it wandered toward the Crown Market in West Hartford, CT and popped up in Crown's parking lot. We bought two items - a Texas Hold-Em sandwich ($20) with Kosher Pulled Brisket and Kosher smoked sausage and a container of Smoked Egg Drop Soup ($5). The sandwich came in a Styrofoam container with a scoop of red cabbage and carrot slaw, a few pickle slices, and a nice roll on one side and a big pile of those meats on the other side. The sandwich was unassembled so the roll wouldn't get soggy. The Egg Drop Soup tasted more like beef broth than egg drop soup, but it was pretty darned good and had quite a few shreds of beef in there. I thought the brisket and the sausage were pretty good and the portion of meat (plus the fact that they were Kosher) helped justify the $20 cost. On the down side, I have to say the administration of the whole pop-up was a mess. We had to wait more or less at four different stations to walk away with our food: 1) wait on a line before you approached the food truck's ordering window, 2) when given the go ahead, approach the window and place your order, 3) get on another line to pay, and 4) wait more until your food order was ready. All of this took roughly an hour today, no lie. I've been to a lot of food trucks over the years, and I've never seen such a drawn out, convoluted and super slow process as this. And I was very disappointed from a food safety/public health point of view to see that one of their gents used the same less than mint condition gloved hands to count the money and process the credit cards as he did to scoop up some sliced scallions into my soup container.

BEWARE - Do not place an order with this business (Wandering Que/Hakodesh BBQ/Gemstone Caterers and…read morewhatever other DBA or aliases it may have). On June 7, after speaking with Ari White, I placed an order through PayPal (containing instructions) for a Kosher Carnivore package to be delivered on June 17th. Later that same day, I phoned Ari and receiving no response, followed up with an email to confirm that everything was received. I never heard back. I continued to phone and send emails (both through direct email and through the Wandering Que website) through June 18, and never heard back. Needless to say, the package was never delivered, and I filed a claim with PayPal.

Completely surprised by the outcome, especially as this was an Uber Eats order. I was shocked and happy by the amount of food received, which turned out to be more than enough to last a few days. The Rice and Peas were fresh in a good way. Only thing is I could've used more gravy on the rice. The Oxtails were tender and seasoned properly. Tasted a little of the Jerk Pork and they were also tender with that smoky Jerk Spice. Considering this delivery came all the way from Mount Vernon, I have to give them five stars. Will order again. Hope the consistency remains the same.

Farewell to a Neighborhood Favorite (Archived/Closing Review)…read moreI've been a loyal Sticky's fan since 2018, and for years, the experience was remarkably consistent. Whether I was at their original spots or one of the newer outposts, you always knew what you were getting: high-quality chicken tenders and fries that hit the spot every time. Here's my "exit interview" for this location: The Food: Always good. For "just" chicken tenders, they really kept the quality high. The Service: Quick and efficient. While the staff could be a bit aloof at times, they always got the job done fast. The Vibe: I was pleasantly surprised when this specific location opened up--it was a great addition to the neighborhood. Sadly, this spot has gone the way of the Dodo. It's yet another casualty of the tough New York fast-food landscape, and it will definitely be missed. RIP to a real one.

Definitely some of the best friend chicken I've ever had (it's up there with Sweet Chick's fried chicken). They have a lot of odd flavor combinations that look weird on paper, but taste amazing. A perfect example of this is the Thai Fiesta. You'd never expect sweet and spicy to taste so good with Mac n Cheese sauce, yet it does. The Gener Tso's Poppers were fantastic, as was the Mushroom poppers. Great place to go for a quick lunch. And when I mean quick, I mean QUICK! The food came out so fast after we ordered, and it tasted so fresh and was very hot. The staff was also very fun and friendly, and the young woman at the register helped us make our choices. All her suggestions were superb. Definitely coming back to this kne

To start, we shared the crispy brussel sprouts Charleston style. These were delicious with the tangy sauce and large flakes of parmesan cheese. For my main, I had the brunch wrap. It comes with chips, but I swapped for fries for an additional charge. The wrap was a good size; I had half and saved the rest for leftovers. It was tasty, but not a ton of flavor. The tater tots were nice and crispy and I enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado. They gave me a huge portion of crinkle cut fries, which also would've been great with a little more seasoning, but they were good when dipped in mayo. My husband got the shrimp and grits and appreciated the large portion size as well. I had a lemonade to drink. It was refreshing since it wasn't overly sweet. Service was great. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Just as their tagline goes, this is undoubtedly a great place to get burgers, beer and grub. It's a…read moresomewhat small place with a great array of options, especially for lunch and brunch. Aesthetically, each table feels like a meal at a family dinner table; it's clear that they wanted that vibe to be translated, and it's done quite well. This is also supported by the service being very friendly and helpful in general. To eat, I had the French toast burger with sweet potato fries. Some others with me had various sides like regular fries and tater tots, and the same thing was present on them that tends not to be at most places: they were all perfectly salted/seasoned. It might seem immaterial, but it's a very good signal when something that simple--yet often neglected in favor of just using condiments to mask it--is executed well. If you're a burger place with fries that taste great without the need for a sauce or condiment, you're doing something right. The French toast burger was likewise fantastic, combining sweet and savory in a great way. To drink, we all got a communal pitcher of the only frozie they had available at the time: a kind of jungle juice vodka slushie. It, too, was great--worthy of multiple rounds. All in all, here's a place that I can't wait to give another visit.
