    The Golden Spice of India menu

    Our first visit today and so happy we stopped! There are options to sit inside or out. We decided to sit indoors and really like the new building, bar and bathrooms. The only challenge we had was finding a place to park. Lots of beer choices on tap as well as wine, mixed drinks and sodas. The food truck options were amazing! Anything you may want. Our group ordered chicken curry and naan, vegetarian pasta and a chicken sandwich with fries. The service at every food truck was excellent as was the food. We will be back!

    This was my first time trying this food truck at Checkpoint 221 and the smell coming out the window alone should convince you to eat here. Menu had a ton of tasty looking options but the chicken saj plate was the right call. Enough salad veggies to feel moderately healthy, enough fries to hit the spot and flatbread wrap with amazing sauce and tender chicken. It had 4 big pieces so I brought some home and even leftover it was a hit. Service was excellent as well, personable and pleasant. Highly recommend!

    This review is all about Flaming fork- lamb by Dhoha- OUTSTANDING!!! Yes yes, the us lots of good beer to be had with any number of food options, but if you like lamb- go straight to this truck & get anything with lamb. Yum!!!

    New, Clean, spacious with a decent variety of food carts. Just to be clear I don't enjoy writing bad reviews and truly don't intend to hurt a business but as a consumer I want to help others not waste their hard earned money or their time like I do from time to time. With that, this was my first time here and I'm sure I'll be back to try some of the other options but I will not be ordering from the Philly cheese steak cart. As you can see from the picture my Philly was loaded with,...... steak! Yea right. I pulled about half the onions off my sandwich after the first bite was a mouth full of onions, not the mention the mediocre bun and flavorless beef. I mean I don't think they used salt or pepper when they cooked it. Also the cheese was definitely not of the wiz variety which if I'm not mistaken that's what makes a Philly a Philly?? It was some flavorless white cheese in the shape of provolone but literally had no flavor. 14$ for 1.5oz of beef and half of a large grilled diced onion. I won't be doing that again and I would highly recommend you don't either.

    Newest food truck pod with indoor and outdoor seating (plenty of shade). Ive tried a few of the offerings with mixed results. There are limited vegetarian choices and except for The Salty Shack, which I do not recommend, there are no fish or shrimp choices if you are pescatarian. I had high hopes for The Salty Shack, but it is pricey for what you get and the clam chowder is just terrible. La Argentina has a very yummy Caprese empanada which I do recommend! Quesadilla Wizzards no longer has any vegetarian choices, which is a shame because I think they have quality ingredients and a good origin story, and cheesy veggie quesadillas are easy to make. Today I ordered a pesto and tomato grilled cheese and sweet potato fries from Carver's Diner - The fries were excellent, A+ fried to perfection, perfectly seasoned, and hot. I am definitely coming back for another order of these! The grilled cheese was less than expected, kinda soggy, kinda bland. Finally, cheers to the Checkpoint 221 bartender who was friendly and hard-working.

    Some of the food carts.

    Every kind of food imaginable is available and a great setting for eating. Good for families, good for singles.

    The food trucks are all great. Their trash cans are a bit out of the way when eating outside. Parking is always easy

    Had the sushi and chicken cart and both were good! Drinks are a fair price especially for having live music and a good environment

    Went here while on a work trip and the food was phenomenal…read more It's an order and pay at the counter then get your food when it's ready kind of bar atmosphere. Super friendly staff. Their ciders are great, I tried the Viking Cherry Cider and loved it so much I bought a six pack to take home, at $18 for 6 it was still absolutely well worth it. For food my coworker got the Fish and Chips, deep fried in beef tallow for those who avoid seed oils, and said it was excellent. I had a caesar salad and fries to go with my cider and it was a lovely meal. This will absolutely be one of our go-to spots when in Salem from now on.

    Some of the best scotch eggs I have ever had! The service was friendly; note that there is no table…read moreservice, so you'll need to order at the bar. The inside atmosphere is sports bar fabulous plenty of seating for groups or couples. We shared a juicy hazy IPA and an order of scotch eggs while sitting on the patio, which is shaded and comfortable with both picnic tables and bar-top seating. I was thrilled to find that the scotch eggs were not only delicious but also authentically prepared. The yolk was soft and slightly runny, and the crust was perfectly crisp and flavorful. This establishment is a true hidden gem. While the food prices are a little steep, the quality definitely makes it worthwhile. We will be back!
