    Ham Croquettes
    Yuko B.

    JJ's Cuban Kitchen was at Fiddlin' Fish Brewing Company so we got the Pork Sandwich to enjoy with our drinks. The Cubano is great but the Pork Sandwich became our favorite the first time we tried it. It's so good! I also love the Maduros. They fry them to perfection. Hope we can catch their food truck again!

    Been wanting to check out this place for a while and so glad we did! Went with the Cuban, yuca fries, and plantains and they were all amazing. Will definitely be going back!

    The ham croquettes (croquetas) were crisp, light, tender and flavorful. To me, they were the star of the show, and that's saying something considering how good the Cubano sandwich and pork sandwich were. I was with a group, and everyone loved their meal. Service was friendly and quick. We'll be back!

    My husband's favorite food truck made its way to King this evening, so we couldn't pass up the chance to eat some delicious, authentic Cuban food. We've been following JJ's Cuban Kitchen for a few years now and it's constantly good and consistently a grade 100!! My husband had the Cuban sandwich; pulled pork, ham, Swiss cheese, mayo, mustard and pickles on Cuban bread. My husband says, "I don't know what he puts on that pork, but it's bussin'!" The kids enjoyed Cuban sliders and they shared an order of Croquettes. I had them make me a wannabe Cuban with the shredded chicken, minus the pork (I just don't do pork). It was really tasty. Go follow their FB and IG pages so you don't miss some of the best Cuban goodness on wheels! Always served with a smile.

    I had never had Cuban food before yesterday. This food truck was at a Cars and Coffee event yesterday. I ordered their JJs famous Cuban sandwich and it was amazing. I was thinking it was a little pricey when I ordered it but when I got it I saw why it was 13$ it was a huge well made sandwich and it was very tasty. I could only eat half of it but ate the other half later that day. Great friendly service and quick delivery on the order. Highly recommend this place if you see them set up somewhere...

    (3.5 stars) A Kernersville-based truck, JJ's Cuban Kitchen runs a small menu of Cuban favorites. Cubanos, plantains, yuca fries, croquetas (ham croquettes), and fritas (Cuban burgers) are among the offerings. The food is solid, but it is neither the best nor the cheapest ($10 Cubanos/$4 sides) of its kind in the area. The Cubanos use the right kind of bread, are assembled and pressed well, and are plenty filling, but they are also a bit dry. Among the sides, the tostones (fried plantains) are bigger and the maduros (sweet plantains) are less sweet than what you might find elsewhere. The owner, Jerome, runs the truck with his family, and all have been pleasant to deal with. JJ's Cuban Kitchen wouldn't be my first choice for a Cubano (maybe the lechon or frita burger knocks it out of the park), but it's still worth a look if it lands at a brewery nearby.

    Tried them again tonight at Gypsy Road Brewery. Went for the El Jefe Cubano this time. It has more of each meat on it. The roasted pork was delicious. It awesome. Yep, I ate the whole thing.

The chicken salad on a toasted croissant with a side of sweet potato fries was absolutely delicious! The bartender/waitress recommended it out of the 3 options I was torn between. My boyfriend got the BBQ chicken flatbread without onions and the only negative was that he said there was too much cheese. I will say, when they brought it out, it looked more like a pizza as opposed to a thin crusted flatbread. But he said it was good! Overall, nice, clean facility, attentive staff, great food.

There were only a couple other tables dining at the time. I got a booth that was spacious and well-lit, which I liked. I got a veggie burger with mac & cheese. The veggie burger was about the same quality as the frozen Morningstar patties I buy at the store. Also the Mac and cheese was box mix quality. My dining companion's food had a significant issue related to the freshness. She may also leave her review, so I don't want to go into it in detail, but I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed as to how hard our server worked to try to make it right. Also, the manager comped that meal, even though we didn't ask for that which was great. I did like their drink specials and would perhaps stop by again for drinks and apps.

I got to visit last weekend and experience their lunch menu. I've been hearing good things about this place but the menu looked simple so I was hesitant. Well it's easy to say I was very wrong about being iffy when it comes to what we were served. When we walked in we were greeted by a very friendly host who put us at a window seat which was really nice. I love having a view with my meal. The space is also very reminiscent of fine dining with the white table cloths, candles, and flowers on the table. It's also worth saying they have several lunch specials aside from what's on their regular lunch menu. Our server was also a very friendly gentleman who gave great recs when we asked. My friend got the French onion dumplings and she LOVED them. I got the brussel sprouts and with the accompaniment of the goat cheese and dried cranberries, they were probably the best I've ever had. I almost ate all of the huge bowl. I got the chicken sandwich for my meal that was dipped in a hot honey like sauce and it was also great. Very juicy and the ranch I got on the side was a great addition. I also got the truffle fries and they were super yummy. Overall an excellent experience and I'm so excited to come back and try their dinner menu. A must if you're in the Kernersville area!

    (3.25 stars) Casual dining may be declining nationally, but…read moreevidently Sixty Six Grill didn't get the memo. It's in that same TGI Friday's/Ruby Tuesday/Applebees tier, yet its full parking lot suggests brisk business. The location - it sits on a busy stretch of 66 - may explain some of that though Sixty Six isn't without other virtues. Spacious and well-staffed, Sixty Six isn't the kind of place where you'll have to wait long to find a table or receive food. It's dark and a bit noisy but not headache-inducingly loud. The menu is decently large, boasting everything from apps and wings to burgers and sandwiches to Tex Mex and pizza. There aren't any real surprises, but there's enough variety to accommodate most diets. For our lunchtime visit, my wife and I split a fried pickles app followed by a jalapeno burger (with sweet potato fries) and a Nashville chicken sandwich (with chips), respectively. Admittedly, the fried pickles didn't make for a very attractive-looking plate. Instead of golden brown pickle chips, there were thicker, lightly battered slices. However, they tasted just fine and paired well with a zesty dipping sauce. Speaking of zesty sauces, the chicken sandwich had it aplenty, and it made for a satisfyingly messy bite. The chips were homemade and rated above average. Unfortunately, Sixty Six overcooks its meats. Under all the sauce, the chicken itself was a bit dry. My wife ordered her burger medium well and received it well beyond well done. As with the chicken, it was still flavorful despite the doneness issues. On food alone, Sixty Six isn't a strong draw, but factor convenience and versatility into the mix, and it becomes a solid lunch option.

Located in a strip mall and tucked in behind another restaurant it can be easily overlooked. Small restaurant offering big flavors at a great price. Enter the restaurant, head to the counter and was greeted immediately. The young lady took our order offered suggestions as well as patience while we ordered. Our food was served within 10 minutes after we ordered. I ordered 2 sliders, 2 tenders, sweet potato fries, and a drink for $15. Now here's the best part, it is GOOD! Everything was served hot. The fries and tenders were crispy! The sliders were the size of a small burger from any fast food chains. Now here's the kicker for all my ice munching lovers, they have that good ice!

We were in the mood for some "fancy" burgers, and given what they do here at Sammy's (and that we had never been) decided to go for it. We both left wishing we had gone to one of several other known quantities in the area that also have some creative burgers. We both ordered the 2 slider combo, one of us went with two burger sliders, the other did a burger and chicken tender slider. One of us got fries, the other upgraded to onion rings. We also added on an all the way hot dog, because I can't help myself but try them wherever I go. Service at the counter was helpful, and the restaurant pretty clean. Drinks are self-serve in somewhat of a tight area for people moving through. They give you a number and bring the food to your table when ready. When the meal arrived, just visually, we were not excited by anything... except the hot dog. We'll start there, the brightest spot of the meal. The bun was clearly buttered and griddled, and biting in, you get a tasty frank, balanced chili and slaw, just enough onions and mustard. If I were to return, it would probably be for hot dogs. All three slider burgers were dry as a bone. They did not at all give the appearance of a burger that was griddled to order. The bacon cheeseburger did not come with any kind of sauce, to make that edible, we added some ranch that came with the onion rings. The buffalo chicken tender slider was quite bland for buffalo style, and soggy. The fries were good, but the onion rings were not. I don't think the oil was hot enough, so not only were they mealy and not crispy, they were just so oily that it made them unappealing. Given what we paid, and compared to other burgers in the area, I don't see us coming back.
