    My wife and I shared a Mango Chicken Rice Bowl at the Des Moines World Food and Music Festival earlier this month. The rice was pretty good, but our chicken was very grisly and fatty, and while the flavor was OK, it didn't make up for the sub-par poultry. From seeing reviews elsewhere it appears we may be the outlier and just got a bad serving, but it just wasn't very good.

    Outside the AutoZone on Mt Vernon Rd & Memorial Dr during COVID-19. Just happened to be driving by hungry!

    This place deserves way better than a 2-star review, so it is pleasure to include my own and boost the ratings. I didn't even look at Yelp before we went and I think I'm actually glad. We happened to be driving past when we noticed Caribbean Kitchen in a parking lot off of Mount Vernon Rd. We had intended to hike and then grab dinner on the way home, but decided to whip around and take advantage of this food truck opportunity instead. I was immensely grateful for a more unique option for takeout during the pandemic! We took a quick look at the menu and placed our order as the crowd started to develop around us. I believe this is a husband and wife duo and they were very friendly and accommodating. It started to rain while we were in line so we rushed home to devour our food. And I mean devour! I opted for mango chicken rice bowl with jerk sauce and my fiancé had the jerk chicken sandwich meal. Its quite a sandwich too! He said it was amazing and was so full he could barely eat his macaroni after. I was a little less impressed, particularly with the rice and beans though because the chicken was awesome! I just wish it had been a little larger portion size. That said, I made sure to grab a card and look them up because we would absolutely eat here again. We overlooked the special of the day which was essentially jerk rib tips so hopefully they'll have that next time too.

    Best Jamaican food in Cedar Rapids! I'm a regular customer that's had the entire menu and I can say everything there is amazing!

    Chubbs BBQ - Combo Sandwich ( 3oz. Pulled Pork, 3oz. Brisket )

    A no-frills food truck in a weird, but easy to find location. They have a handful of tables and…read morechairs on the lawn in front. Service was friendly and very quick. Prices are reasonable. The sandwich portions are generous and come with a small side portion and sliced pickles. The pulled pork comes without sauce and when we went, they only had spicy and blackberry sauce. As far as flavor, we agreed the pork was kinda dry but okay. I had the blackberry sauce, which I found runny and not so flavorful. My boyfriend had the spicy and said it was good, but the kick lingered in his mouth. My coleslaw was weak too. Overall, the location is perfect for this kind of meal. It's a reasonable price for what you get - sandwich, side, and drink. Probably great for local lunches, but we wouldn't go out of our way.

    Chubbs BBQ is a fairly new food truck in the Marion area and overall I must say I'm impressed…read more They are quick, well priced and consistent. The meat has a great smokey flavor and is very tender. The baked beans have quickly become a favorite and the coleslaw is a close second. They offer huge sandwiches which include 6 oz. meat, one side and a drink for $7.50 or larger platters for around $11. They never keep me waiting long and they have many BBQ sauces to choose from including some interesting ones such as cherry habanero and blackberry. They are usually located around the corner of 7th Ave. and 44th St. in Marion behind Arnold's motor supply. So if you find yourself in the area around lunchtime it's definitely worth the stop!

    There bbq is absolutely the best in town hands down there specialty sausages are to die forread more

    With the road construction it took me three tries to actually get there...TomTom loses to Android…read moreand GoogleMap! Anyway, once I made it there and saw the big smokers out front with the wood stacked alongside I was encouraged... once I made it inside the smells had me convinced me I had made a good decision. Large menu board above where your order is taken is self explanatory and very clear. Service was friendly and outstanding as one progresses through the ordering and payment stages and they "assembled" my Pulled Pork Burger before my eyes. A good sized burger in it's right then topped with some succulent Pulled Pork, pickles, and two sauces (the Harmony and Havana Moon I believe). I wasn't sure about the sauce combo until the first bite...amazing! The combination of sweet and zesty is deeeeelicious. I also ordered up the Brisket Eggrolls which were amazing in their own right...I sampled all four of the CR Midnight BBQ sauces by dipping the eggroll into each one alternately. Along with the Harmony (which is, dare I say) a more traditional style sweet sauce and the Havana Moon (a Cuban inspired Mustard sauce (my favorite paired up with the Pulled Pork) are a duo of sauces that surprised me at how much I liked them.....a Blueberry and a Peach version..outstanding sauces!! I left ordering a 3 Meat Combo to go so I can enjoy a meal tonight with the Mrs as she was unable to make the trip with me today as I was in town on business. I'll add to my review later...I'm sure more positive words and pictures will be upcoming! The "at home" pics aren't quite as good...the food however was just as delicious! The 3 Meat combo (plus 3 ribs) consisted of Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, and Brisket as well as the aforementioned ribs. The meats were all top notch smokey and flavorful...the Brisket is some of the best I've had in quite awhile. The sides I've tried were the Mac & Cheese and the Baked Beans. Mac&Cheese was very well executed and the Baked Beans side was good but just a bit on the spicy side for us. I highly recommend making a trip to CR Midnight Smoker BBQ, negotiate the road construction and enjoy some amazing food, friendly folks and a casual atmosphere!
