    Back of the truck, parked in front of taco bell on Huntington drive in Monrovia
    Nichole B.

    When driving down the boulevard I saw the truck, newly located there. It said Authentic Soul food! I immediately yelp the truck and saw the ratings and reviews and of course had to go check it out and review it! Pros first* The butter pecan cake was nice moist and frosting good! Oxtails are tasty and the price was $26ish (fair) but they are smaller than the usual size. The Mac and cheese is good. The rice is average, my friend got rice and gravy but doesn't eat beef and it was beef gravy, she didn't prefer green beans either. Sweet potatoes weren't saucy like I prefer but they were cool. The fried chicken, fish and shrimp were hot and good. It came with a roll and a piece of cornbread with a meal. Cons*The green beans I don't recommend and was disappointed, they were out of greens and peach cobbler.

    An AMAZING pan of Mac and Cheese for Thanksgiving dinner. It's so good that I could serve only this and everyone would be happy.

    After having Rainy's Mac and cheese from their food truck this summer, I knew I wanted it for Thanksgiving. I ordered about a week in advance and pick up went smoothly (I picked up the day before Thanksgiving). It was fresh out of the oven and still hot, so I enjoyed a taste and it was even better than I remembered! With this on my Thanksgiving table, I could probably not even cook a turkey and still have happy guests. As if good food wasn't enough, Rainy might be the nicest human being on the planet. Her secret ingredient must be love.

    Truck was in San Bernardino, decided to give this truck a try discovered them on Yelp. I saw alot of rave about the meatloaf they make on their Instagram, unfortunately I got a day they didn't serve it. Instead I got ribs, chicken and party wings (honey garlic flavor) tried all the sides I could. Honestly don't have a complaint. Everything was fresh! Next time I definitely am going to try the oxtails, fish and I'm determined to try this meatloaf!

    Da truck!

    Simply Excellent food and service! Fresh and tasty! I highly recommend these folks. If you see this truck, do yourself a favor and get a meal. You can thank me later.

    Just tried oxtails for the first time and loved them!! My husband ate all of his ribs before I could try but they looked awesome. We both loved the Mac and cheese. I can wait to come back. I want to preorder a seafood boil because the pictures look so good! So happy Rainy stops by downtown Monrovia on Thursdays.

Maybe other people will, but it just didn't taste good to me but overall everyone else I went with enjoyed their meal and I will return.

    Hands down the best soul food within an hour's drive…read more My son and I went in a week after they opened their location on account of my son asked me whether "soul food" was the same as "southern food." I said, "I can tell you, but I think it's best I show you." My son and I walked into what seemed like an old Chinese food buffet not too far from the new Tower Buzzers stadium. It was larger than I imagined, but it needed to be. You could smell the flavors right from the front door. I tried to order based on what I had seen on their website, but it turns out their options have changed a bit, so we went with the party wings and the dozen shrimp plate. Shrimp Plate: For the first time in a loooooong time, I had juicy shrimp. I had long lost hope of finding a juicy shrimp on account of most places will overcook them and give you what amounts to breading shells with empty space where the shrimp used to be. The shrimp at NYMK is juicy and the breading has to be a family secret. Party Wings: My son swears by these. He can't have any other wings, now. He loved the mac and cheese - especially when you add a little of the hot sauce to the mac and cheese. After his meal, I told him, "This is your first taste of Soul Food. It can be considered Southern food, but it has its own spices. It has its own history. It's own heart and soul. It stands on its own." I can't recommend this place enough for those folks looking to enjoy something way different than what the IE provides.

I originally popped in just to pick up a house salad to go to pair with my leftover pastas at Home, but I ended up dining in thanks to the terrific Gourmet Hospitality displayed by Server Carlos and the new Manager Evan! While waiting for my To Go Salad I was so mesmerized by all the fun and flirty Visual Communications like their Dessert Menu and Happy Hour Specials like the $4.50 Beers and $9 Half Cajun Pasta Specials :0) I initially decided to just stay at Georgia's and try their Sweet Potato Pie along with a Hot Tea instead of moseying over to Starbucks like my original afternoon Game Plan. Carlos took the time to make my Sweet Potato Pie look extra elegant and fancy and the Black Lemon Tea he served me had such a unique and refreshing elegant flavor! I felt like a British Barbie having the most heavenly Afternoon Tea Time Recovery massage after enjoying that incredible Artful Genius Pairing ;0) After the Manager Evan stopped by to follow up on the satisfaction of my food he encouraged me to capitalize on the Afternoon Happy Hour Specials on the Weekdays too from 3-6pm. I saw that my favorite Cajun Pasta was on the Happy Hour Menu and decided to order it with Shrimp along with a glass of Kona Big Wave to celebrate the theme of my Moana Movie Day :0) My Cajun Pasta tasted just as amazing as I remembered it to be and I ended up returning last night to order the full size on the weekend to enjoy outside on their beautiful Patio! I also tried their Fried Green Tomatoes Appetizer which was so good and a personal recommendation from my Coworker Bartender who raves endlessly about it. The Lemon Aioli sauce included with the Fried Green Tomatoes is so good and I LOVE their Seasonal Green Apple Sangria which is an absolute must try too!! Thank you to the whole Georgia's Team for going out of your way to make me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and at Home with great Food, Beverages, and fabulously cozy Company! I really admire the Company for consistently adapting to professional challenges by investing in smart and speedy technology and coming up with better Service Systems to help Guests relax and get settled in faster. The new Happy Hour, Cocktail, and Mocktails specials are so romantically charming and gives me lots of reasons to come back and along with the vibrantly fun and interesting personalities that make up the Service Staff!

I came for lunch and was offered complimentary cornbread, which was soft, buttery, warm, and so delicious. The fried shrimp basket and Southwestern salad were fresh, yummy, and well-portioned. The French fries that came with the shrimp basket were perfectly fried and delicious. There was a great balance between crispy and soft. There was also a generous amount of shrimp in the basket, and the breading was so flavorful. The Southwestern chicken salad had a good amount of chicken and perfectly complemented the shrimp basket. The servers here are friendly and help maintain such a bright and relaxing environment. After just one visit, my group and I decided that we would have to make weekly visits to Georgia's and try all of the amazing dishes on the menu! Although there are other locations, I plan on returning to this one because of my fantastic experience in Eastvale. Overall, I highly recommend Georgia's Restaurant and can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!

The gumbo was easily the star of the meal. The sauce itself was incredibly rich, deeply savory, and immediately reminded me of the food I've had in New Orleans. I honestly don't have an elaborate critique of it. It was simply delicious. My only thought was that I wanted even more seafood in every spoonful, so next time I'm adding extra crab or shrimp. I wasn't sure what to expect from the frog legs, but they ended up being one of my favorite dishes. The batter was light and crispy, while the meat was delicate and mild, somewhere between chicken and fish, without much gaminess. I could have easily eaten an entire plate of them. We finished the meal with the croissant beignets and bread pudding. The beignets were crisp, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with a berry purée that balanced the sweetness nicely. As good as they were, the bread pudding blew them away for me. The warm bread pudding with bourbon sauce, ice cream, and strawberries was easily my favorite dessert of the night. Our waiter also overheard that it was my birthday and surprised me with complimentary ice cream, which was a thoughtful touch. Probably the best compliment I can give The Quarter is this. I'm willing to drive an hour to Claremont on a Saturday night, hunt for parking, and deal with the crowds of college kids just to come back for another bowl of that gumbo.
