The Smokehouse Barbecue Food Cart & The NOMAD Chefs Food Cart…read more Wilmington, Vermont Around the time that I moved to Vermont , I started hearing about An Incredible Team Of Chefs Called "The Nomad Chefs"Founded By The Great Brandon Ruble. They were Featured Each Week At That Time At The Wilmington Inn For Their "Wicked Wednesday" Events & They Always Got Rave Reviews. Each Week Mr Ruble Would Change Up The Menu With New & Delicious surprises with flavors and tastes from all Around the globe. And each Time I Went, The Food Was perfection. It wasn't long before Brandon Ruble Was The Talk Of The Town and Over the last two years or so, he went on to purchase a food truck for "Nomad Chefs" & Everybody Loves It. And Not long ago, I heard he had a brand new Food Truck & Started A Whole New Brand Called "The Smokehouse". They are currently at the River Valley Market & I'd been dying to go but kept missing it for one reason or the other, but last week I got there at just the right time. I even Got A Chance To Meet Brandon Ruble himself & He Was Just As Sweet As He Is Talented. It's easy to see how hard he works & How Well. A true master at what he does. A seasoned professional. Dan Took my order and he was awesome. Funny, sweet & Very Accommodating. His sweet tea was out of this world & Some of the best I've ever had. I Ordered the Brisket with Sides Of Coleslaw, Baked Beans & Homemade Cornbread. I Was Hesitant to order the brisket as my recent experiences doing so at other establishments didn't turn out so well. It takes a special touch to get brisket just right and not over or under cooked. Usually people miss the mark one way or the other. But The minute I opened my to-go box, I knew this wouldn't be the same. You could literally see how juicy it was & The meat was so tender it was almost falling apart In Your Mouth. To say that it was perfection would be an understatement. And the Flavor? Sooooo delectable. Rich & Full Bodied. Just perfect. Holy smokes was that delicious ( No Pun Intended). This was hands down The best brisket I've Ever had in all my life and I'm no spring chicken. Theres such a huge difference in the taste when its made by someone who is a true artist. Someone who puts thought, and time into all of the dishes that he adds to his menu. Someone like Brandon Ruble. I would highly recommend this food cart 100%. It Is Without A Doubt, The Best & Most Delicious Meal You'll Find & even The Fairest Price. Not Only Will You Love It, You Will Leave Full And Happy & You'll want to come back & So will your whole family. As You Eat Or Wait For Your To-Go Order, You'll Smell The Two Extra Large Smokers Going The Whole Time. The menu has something For Everyone, including Chicken Wings, Burgers, Fries & Even Hush Puppies. The main attraction though is the smoked platter. You choose your meat , IE Brisket, Pork Etc & pick two side dishes. No matter what you pick it'll be delicious. You will be very happy. I guarantee it. I went back a few days later with a friend of mine who's usually the hardest critic and doesn't like to to try new things. He sticks with the places he knows and goes there habitually. But even he went crazy over "The Smokehouse". His quote exactly was "This Is Better Than Any Place In Town". And THAT is the hugest statement of all in a place like vermont where there's delicious food everywhere. I highly recommend "The Smokehouse" Food Cart, In Addition to The "Nomad Chef's" Food Cart & Or Anything Else Brandon Ruble Puts his hands on. This man is absolutely gifted. The meal that I Had At "The Smokehouse" is only one of the many incredible creations that we've all come to know & expect from Mr Ruble When He Puts His name on Something. As far as I can see, there's nothing this man can't do. 5 stars

The food is "good enough" for me to give it another shot, so I'll update this review next time I…read moreeat there. There's room for improvement. 1. Mac n Cheese: B+. Pretty decent, good flavor. I only know this because I tried my friend's. I ordered some, but I got mac salad in my order. I think the mac n cheese would do a little better with a creamier cheese sauce. Good chefs hate it, but the fact is that Velveeta makes a creamy basic sauce that can be doctored without limits to greatness for the application. 2. Mac salad: B+. It's pretty basic mac salad, no surprises. The pasta was a little al dente, though. I suspect that the dressing was perfect when they made it, but over a few hours the al dente noodles soaked up whatever moisture they could, leaving a dried out dressing. The remedy for this is to re-mix the batch with a little water, or buttermilk for extra points. 3. Potato salad: B+. This is a good, basic potato salad. No surprises. 4. Creamy slaw: A+. GREAT! SLAW! This is almost like my slaw, and I'm picky about my slaw. 5. Regular slaw: A. Bright and fresh flavored slaw. This slaw screams "put me on a killer California Reuben!". 6. BBQ beans: D. Insanely good sauce. Beans heavily undercooked. Insanely good sauce. Fix these, and I will eat them by the half-gallon. 7. Brisket: A. Solid brisket, great smoke, perfect cook. 8. Spare ribs: A. Good and smokey, falling off the bone (but the cartilage hangs on, which makes them perfect in my book). 9. Pork roast: A. I'm not sure what cut was used here, but it's a great cut for this purpose. Moist and flavorful and very smokey. 10. Pulled chicken: A++. Next to what the beans *could be* and what the creamy slaw is, this chicken is an absolute all-star. Whew! Wicked smokey, super moist, pure heaven. I could eat piles of this chicken! 11. "Kicker" sauce: sweet and delicious BBQ sauce. I have a feeling, after the beans and this sauce, that sauces are this place's strong suit. Truly great stuff. Summary: this place has some easily fixable problems. Easily fixable. Mere adjustments, and I can't wait to try them out again and bump this up to 5 stars.

Really want to give this more like a 3.7 but it's hard to give a real honest review on food trucks…read more Looking at the few other pictures posted here I can tell that some days are a little better than others, probably not by too much but still. Seems like these guys are usually parked in the parking lot of Froggs Brewery in Marlborough NH. Frogg's has a few snack food items themselves but these guys are there on weekends, or at least most weeks at the moment. Check their facebook page for updates. It was nice to chill at Froggs too while we ate, grabbed a watermelon beer to wash it all down, pretty darn good. Their regular and spicy BBQ sauces were very good to taste. Obviously some minced garlic and some chili flakes for seasoning in each of them. More thick than I like though, probably typical sauce texture almost anyone would expect but I've come to appreciate the more runny vinegar authentic style sauces. Sweet Maple BBQ Sauce was excellent! Not as much minced stuff in it as the others and I don't know if I'd guess it was Maple flavored if I didn't know. More of like a pineapple sweetness to it, but it's actually really good. Pulled pork was almost perfect! Definitely cooked in a sauce at least for a little while but it was still distinctly the great natural taste of pork. Wasn't till I got to the bottom and tasted a giant slab of fat disguised as regular pulled pork (hate it when that happens) but the rest of it was some of the best pulled pork I've ever had. Ribs are smoked like crazy, almost all the meat was red and delicious. Meat doesn't fall off all over the place, texture was pretty good if anything it was a tiny bit on the tougher side but still easy enough to chew. I could taste the seasoning rub on it well enough but it still wasn't that powerful. Sausage was good, definitely the type that fits better as a sausage and peppers and onions sandwich. Lot of that smokey redness to it, very enjoyable. Brisket looked drier than it actually was but still not as juicy as I particularly like them to be. Tougher cut of Brisket, not as flavorful as I'd hoped, the fatty part had a little bit of seasoning flavor to but not much. Brisket was still okay, too many different types of Brisket out there to judge accurately. Chicken was smoked very well and tasted great too, especially with some of that Maple sauce! Hate to say it was a teeny bit on the dry side though but still very yummy. Can't say much about the seasoning on the skin though, not much flavor their at all. I appreciate that the Cole slaw is vinegar based. I prefer that over the mayo based stuff (unless it's super tasty). Didn't pack a ton of flavor though, but it got the job done. Beans were Black beans and Kidney beans in a sorta sweet and savory type of sauce. I really liked the flavor and the beans were cooked well enough but the sauce was very drippy. Not that that's a terrible thing but I'm just use to baked beans that hold onto a lot of that gravy. The beans I had here just kinda felt like they were 2 beans boiled down with some mildly sweet brown sugar juice. But as I said, flavor alone the beans were actually very tasty. Mac and Cheese is Ziti pasta with a blend of cheeses that haven't had the right amount of time to become gooey yet. Ziti really could have been boiled for about 5 minutes longer because it was still tough. Cheese din't have much taste to it and it felt more like a gritty cheesy paste wrapped around the pasta. Not sure what the deal is with this Ziti substitute, this is like the eight place I've been to that does it and it's really getting old but if you have a good cheese recipe then I guess it don't matter what the pasta is, but for some reason none of these ziti places have had it that good. Cornbread is a small cube of yellow cake. Wasn't cornbread at all. Not complaining about the yellow cake, it's yummy enough, but it A'int no damn corn bread.

The owner was very welcoming and kind. The wait staff were on their first and second day, respectively. I am optimistic that they'll find their groove.

It's a total game-changer if you have kids (or if you're just a competitive adult). It keeps the vibe lively without feeling like a chaotic playground, and it's a great way to kill time while waiting for a table or hanging out after a day on the slopes. The Food We sampled a bit of everything, and for a brand-new kitchen, they are already hitting their stride: The Wings: These were the standout. Crispy skin, juicy interior, and the sauces actually have some personality. Definitely get an order for the table. Roasted Chicken: This is the ultimate comfort dish. It was perfectly seasoned and felt like a high-end home-cooked meal. If you want something hearty but not "pub heavy," this is the move. Tenderloin Sandwich: Wow. The steak was incredibly tender (as promised) and served on a fresh roll that didn't fall apart. It's a massive step up from your standard steak sandwich.
