River Glenn Park is a food truck area that recently opened in the summer of 2025. They will have a…read morevariety of food trucks on a rotating schedule. There is a parking lot for about 20-ish cars. There are a few picnic tables, trash cans, and restrooms. Across the street is the Farmington River trail in Burlington, CT. We came here on a Saturday for dinner to check it out. There were a few cars and people. Since it's new, there was an ice cream truck, taco truck, Little Axe farm stand, and a beverage vendor. I know it's still new so I see a lot of potential of this place being a popular spot and I'm assuming more food trucks coming soon!

"Keep on truckin', baby I got to keep on truckin'…read moreGot to get to your good lovin' " (Eddie Kendricks) Food trucks seem to be everywhere! At your favorite park, at fairs and festivals all over the state, and at a growing number of food truck parks. What's a food truck park? Well, it's pretty much like an outdoor shopping mall lined with food trucks instead of stores. We visited a fairly new one today - the River Glenn Park on Canton Road (Route 179) in Burlington. Our first impression was extremely favorable. It is very well organized, with a gravel lot, marked traffic flow lanes, and plenty of parking. They have a large restroom facility, and plenty of brand-new wood picnic tables with bench seating and wood dining tables with conventional chairs. The food trucks on premises rotate on schedule, and today we saw a Taco Shack truck, a Cowboy Butter BBQ truck, a Wiener Time cart, and a Little Axe Market stand. We both had lunch from the Taco Shack, and each went for a "Three Tacos for $13" special. They offer nine different tacos, and the special lets you mix or match any three for $13. The choices are pretty cool - Classic Beef, Chicken, Pork, Crispy Chicken, Buffalo Crispy Chicken, El Diablo, Sweet Potato, and Deep-Fried Pickle. My wife went with sweet potato, chicken and pork, while I went with pork, Buffalo Crispy Chicken and an El Diablo. I love spice, and the El Diablo promised plenty of heat with spicy rubbed chicken, sriracha, sriracha crème, and fresh jalapenos. Honestly, it disappointed me -it was barely spicy at all, and the fresh jalapenos were nowhere to be found. On the other hand, the Buffalo Crispy Chicken was great. It had a good-sized chicken tender with some hi-test hot sauce slathered inside the taco. It was by far my favorite. Now, listen up because the food trucks don't sell drinks. Instead, you need to go over to the Little Axe Market stand that sells cans and bottles of soda, along with fresh tomatoes and baskets of mums. A 20-ounce bottle of Diet Coke cost us $3.50. We grabbed a picnic table, enjoyed the beautiful day, chatted with a lovely lady who was there with her dog, enjoyed our tacos, and drank our $3.50 bottle of soda. Well done, River Glenn Park. Thanks for a very positive first visit.

If the thought of tropical Caribbean cuisine interests you, zip on over for some very good jerk chicken, beef or chicken patties, empanadas, plantains, mac and cheese, Spanish rice, a slew of sandwiches, tropical juices and frozen coladas. Your hosts will be Mike and Dee and I'll bet you a nickel they'll be the sweetest people you've meet all month. Mike is the front counter gent, Dee does the cooking and we had such a wonderful time shooting the breeze with them. We split a terrific chicken empanada as a starter (just $4) and it was flaky and juicy and just freaking great. My wife went for a Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($10) -a huge portion of chicken on a roll with tomato and field greens. I went for a Caribbean Platter (meat and Spanish Rice and four Sweet Plantains). I got the large size ($17) with spicy jerk pork. It was awesome! The rice was very good served with Jamaican style peas and olives, the four sweet plantains were excellent, and so was the shredded jerk pork. Half the portion was plenty for me. So, when I consider the quality, the value, and the customer service, it's hard to find any faults at all. Thanks Mike and Dee for a great meal that served nicely to kick off our pre-Hurricane Henri weekend.

What The Truck BBQ #RiverfrontFoodTruckFestival…read moreWe drove to Hartford to see what the food truck collection was like. We sampled 4 trucks. This was by far the best we found. I am fussy about my BBQ and have not usually found much to cheer about in CT (I do like Pig Rig and my own). These folks had their smoker right out back of their food truck; it's a beautiful thing to behold and the smell of genuine smoked-right-there meat was enough to get us to the counter. The turkey legs were just coming off the smoker and the burnt ends were on-the-way, so we waited ~20 minutes (worth it!) to get an order of those. When they say the turkey drum is ginormous, they are serious (see photo) and the flavor!!! The true art of BBQ is not how much gooey sauce you can slather onto a piece of meat or how spicy you can make the rub. It's all about getting a balanced flavor from the smoke. You can't duplicate this from a bottle and it really takes someone with experience to make the smoke and the meat dance like this. YOU MUST try the turkey legs if you can get one. If not, the burnt ends are really done well. Not quite the same burnt ends you would get at a good Texas BBQ place, but certainly the best I've had outside of Texas. Aside from the cool name, What The Truck BBQ is a must stop.

Girlfriend was very interested in the tacos, so we opt for a trio of their spicy tacos. Service was quick and we found a seat to dig in. Overall, the chicken was tasty but the rest was okay. The sauce was kind of like franks red hot but a bit tangier but a little milder. It's a solid sauce, but I usually prefer a little more heat. The taco shells were generic, out of a bag tortillas. Nothing special of note there, just plain flour tortillas. they didn't bulk out the tacos with lots of extra slaw, but the chicken portion was very small for the size of tortilla they used. In the future, they should look at street taco tortillas. they're a bit smaller, but would make the chicken look like a significantly larger portion. Then if they use a seasoned crispy batter then dunk the tenders in the sauce then it would be a very awesome bite. for what we got, it was good but not great. They need to make little tweaks to get them to great, but it's easy enough to do. I hope to see some quality improvements going forward, but for now they are a solid choice if you're in the mood for unhealthy chicken.
