I went for a walk earlier in the morning through Snowden Overlook, a 55+ community, in Columbia. I came across a sign saying they were having a food truck event today from 5-8 pm, and that Chesapeake was one of the two vendors. My husband and I arrived at 5:10 and there was a line forming already. I ordered from this vendor and he ordered from RB Grill.
There was a board listing their menu items and another board with their specials. There was a gentleman taking orders on an ipad; the staff in the truck preparing the food; an employee getting the orders and adding napkins, utensils, and condiments; and a young female making freshly squeezed lemonade.
I asked the gentleman taking the order what was most popular on the menu and he said the crabcakes. I don't know why I bother asking because half the time I go for something different than what is suggested to me. I ended up getting the fish tacos as they are one of my favs that I don't eat often, and I just had frozen crabcakes earlier in the week. The fish taco came with three pieces of fish in one huge tortilla and included a side. I chose the Old Bay Macaroni Salad as my side.
It took awhile before it was my turn to place my order, but once I placed it, I was surprised how quickly my food was ready. My husband's line was half my line, and I was done before him!
When we got home, I opened the box and was surprised that my macaroni salad was mixed into my taco. The taco was too big and there probably wasn't enough room to separate it in the box. I would have preferred that it was in a separate container. It looked a bit messy.
The fish was crispy and crunchy and had good flavor, but was mildly spicy for me to handle. By the end of my meal, my nose was running. The macaroni salad was a bit bland. I'm not sure if I would get that again. For $12, the portion was a generous size. If they come back for future outings, I will definitely try the crabcake or other seafood items. read more
