What a good idea for a food truck! My two favorite things, cookies and ice cream. We went to a food truck festival in downtown Greensboro and were super pleased to find The Ice Queen. They had fun flavors for the ice cream and the cookie options. I hope to come across this truck again! read more

Took my first trip to Ice Queen yesterday and it did not disappoint! Their signature is the phenomenal ice cream sandwiches, but they have scoops as well. The ice cream sandwich menu had something for everyone - literally you can build your own! I got the Shortycake and it was the perfect mix of chocolate and fruity.

I let me husband rate The Ice Queen because he tried it at the food truck rodeo. One of our friends raved about how awesome it was and my husband said that it lived up to the hype. It was extremely hot but luckily they had a little technique going the lady would go through the line take your orders and then you just had to pay and the ice cream sandwiches took about 5 mins to come out. The people were all very nice and seemed to manage the ground well. One thing that I liked was that they let you order a cookie if you weren't getting ice cream so that's what my son did. My husband ended up ordering thin mint. They don't provide spoon because they said that it's a cheat stick lol! Great ice cream truck and I would definitely recommend it to all ice cream lovers. read more

If you have not been here, you are missing out! Not only can you select a different cookie for each side of the sandwich, but you can get two different flavors of ice cream on the inside too! These sandwiches are massive, but pretty affordable considering how much dessert you get. The best part about this dessert truck are the ice cream flavor and cookie selections! There are so many delicious flavors and unique combinations. I cannot recommend this dessert truck enough-- it is definitely worth tracking down! read more

I got to try the truck at a local ice cream festival. I ordered the king kong sandwich and it was so good. I loved the banana pudding ice cream.

The Ice Queen has my favorite ice cream treat in all of NC. And I stand by that statement. Their ice cream cookie sandwiches are amazing. And there's so many ice cream options (which sometimes makes it hard to pick one). Oh, and the chocolate chip cookies are packed with chocolate and taste delicious. Always wondered if they make their own cookies? Does anyone know? For $5, you get two scoops of ice cream sandwiched between two amazing cookies. And, the ladies that work their events are always so friendly. The Ice Queen truck can be found at different food truck rodeos and events in downtown Greensboro. Whenever I see her truck, I have to treat myself. Oh, and they made ice cream for dogs. Best part? It's free! Seriously, I can't say enough positive things about the Ice Queen. So if you ever come across their truck, you HAVE to try their cookie sandwiches. read more

I was excited to finally be able to try out this food truck. Especially after seeing the cookie sandwich shots in 1808 Greensboro over the Summer. I was not disappointed! The cookie sandwich was pretty much impossible to eat. But, I mean who cares? I was more into the tasty novelty of the whole thing. I appreciated all of their creative cookie sandwich combinations. I ended up going with the PB& J, peanut butter ice cream, strawberry ice cream, all smushed together between two delicious chocolate chip cookies. My friend went for the one covered in sprinkles and she was not disappointed. I would go back to this food truck again for sure. read more

The dessert is quite good, and if you see them around, it's worth a find. They're very quick even if the lines are large, and also friendly and helpful.

Went to Food truck Friday in downtown Greensboro. Of course, I HAD to get dessert. This truck had one of the longest lines, so I figured it MUST be good. Meh...I was really expecting Diddy Reese (UCLA) status..far from it. The cookies were pretty stale. SO disappointing. There wasn't anything spectacular about the ice cream either. I got the Cookie Monster. Which was cookies and cream ice cream, an Oreo, and chocolate ice cream between two stale chocolate chip cookies. All of their cookie sandwiches are $5, which is a fair price considering how big it is. I wish they had other cookies besides chocolate chip, snicker doodle cookies would have been a great option. I don't think I'll be purchasing another 1000 calories from them again. I'll save the $5 and extra 12 mile run for something else. read more

Who needs a wedding cake when you have Ice Queen? We used them to serve our wedding dessert to 100 guests, and it was a huge hit. The biggest downside was that people kept leaving the dance floor to go get a second or third sandwich!

My son and fiancé wanted two food trucks for their wedding rehearsal dinner. They had one entree and one dessert truck. Out of the 85 trucks in the area, there was no question in the couple's heart, the dessert truck had to be The Ice Queen. We were impressed with Ice Queen's service, friendliness, the amount of choices of ice cream, and the speed with which they served our 80 guests. You could taste the quality of their ingredients. Now, mark this down, find the Ice Queen Truck. If you can only order one item, get the Cookie Monster and come back here and thank me. Pro Tip: Never use a cheater stick. read more

I don't know if we caught them on an off day, but unfortunately neither my husband nor I liked the chocolate chip cookies. They tasted old and prepackaged. Now my husband LOVES choc chip cookies and the fact that he didn't want the two from my sandwich speaks volumes. I had a mix of the coconut and vanilla ice cream. I really enjoyed the coconut one that had a lot of shredded coconut mixed in. My husband had the chocolate and cookies and cream. I may give this place another try to have the other cookie flavors (they were sold out the day we went). The 4 ice cream flavors we tasted pretty average overall. Each sandwich is $5, which I think is reasonable, but the taste was not there for us. read more

Disappointing. Had an ice cream sandwich at the Burke Street Food Truck festival. Waited in line forever, and it really wasn't worth it. The ice cream was fine, but the cookies tasted and felt like store-bought crap. For $5, I want a homemade cookie, not something purchased from the bakery section of Lowe's Foods! Actual amount of ice cream was fairly small, which was disappointing since none of us wanted to eat the cookies, and ended up just licking off the ice cream. I don't recommend. read more

I hired Christine and her Ice Queen Ice Cream truck for a corporate event in Winston Salem. Being out of town, I was totally at the mercy of finding someone on the internet. She was very prompt, great with the staff, fair priced and easy to work with. In addition, she and the truck looked nice- some trucks I've seen were a little sketchy. At the end of the event, she was totally buttoned up with the prices, etc., She also never mentioned gratuity or any add-ons . Just the fee for items sold and a small travel fee. I would definitely use her again and recommend her if you are having a company function. read more

I didn't expect a food truck, to turn into one of the most memorable…read moreexperiences I had during my 1st visit to North Carolina, But that's exactly what happened at Taco Bros in Greensboro, NC. First off, this isn't just a random food truck. There is such an incredible story behind it. It's run by Gary and his best friend Alex, who have been friends since grade school back in Mexico City, Mexico!! You can feel that deep history in the way they run their business. There's a level of trust, energy, and authenticity that you don't usually see, and it trickles down to the entire team!!!Every employee I interacted with was genuinely happy, welcoming, and proud to be there (which says a lot) especially during these times. They've also set themselves up in some of the best spots around. I visited : 1) Summerfield Farms. 2) Oden Brewing Company. At both locations, you're not just grabbing food, you're getting a whole experience! Plenty of parking, plenty of seating, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Live music, dog friendly. The menu is simple, affordable, and done right. We got to try 4 different tacos, their queso dip, and their churros, and everything delicious! The meat was seasoned to perfection, super juicy, and full of flavor without being overcomplicated. But what really made this experience unforgettable? I got invited onto the truck to make my own churros!! let me tell you, that is not something you get to do every day. It was hands-on, fun, and honestly one of the most unique experiences I've had, collaborating with another business. By the end of it, it didn't even feel like a transaction anymore, we became friends! Taco Bros isn't just serving food, they're building up thier community. And that's something you don't come across often.

The chicken quesadilla was good but could have used a bit more seasoning. It was good sized and stuffed full of chicken, onions, peppers, and cheese. Overall we enjoyed Taco Bros and would definitely try them again at another event.

I would rather a place do a few things well than have a wide variety of things and be mediocre. Empanada Grill is as far from mediocre as you can get. I opted for their empanadas undressed in the traditional chicken style. It came with a side of rice and beans. You got to choose between red or black beans, and white, yellow, or traditional rice. I went with the black beans and traditional rice. This was enough food for two meals. I received my food to go, as I had a practice to get to, but there is a variety of seating areas within to accommodate groups of all sizes. The black beans deserve a picture of their own because they are basically a full meal themselves. I ate half before I remembered to take a picture because they were so good. I would definitely bring the family back to this restaurant, as we all love empanadas. I would love to try the traditional beef next time. The worst part about this trip? My car smelled like empanada the next day and I had no more empanada to eat. But that's a problem that can easily be solved with a trip back to my new favorite empanada place.

The person behind the truck is Elizabeth Gibbs, who cut her teeth in the food scene as a team leader at the Durham Whole Foods, manager of farmers markets, and running her own farm to table catering business. Her resume shines in the details of her mobile kitchen. Virtually every facet of Elizabeth's business model focuses on sustainability. Her food truck runs on biofuel, the food containers are biodegradable and sourced from World Centric Zero Waste Solutions, and the ingredients are sourced as locally as possible. The food truck is parked for lunch at the Greensboro Farmer's Curb Market on Yanceyville St. until 1pm each Wednesday, which is where I most recently dined on their offerings. For vegetarians, Small Potatoes served up two dishes: 1. Curried Rice Cakes: covered in a strawberry-cumin glaze and topped with pepper cilantro relish. ($7) 2. Grilled broccoli with Indian sweet potatoes ($7). I decided on the curried rice cakes, which I can best describe as the perfect spring time lunch. The strawberry-cumin glaze and the relish lent a effervescent freshness that helped beat the heat on this balmy day. Elizabeth could have easily taken the name of the dish to heart and gone overboard with the curry flavors, but here they were subtle and balanced. The dish was produced with ingredients purchased at the farmer's market that weekend, with the exception of the relish, the parts of which were obtained that morning at the market. I can't think of anything else in town that personifies fresh and local to that level, and can't wait to see what the Small Potatoes team cooks up next week.

We were welcomed in by staff, who was very friendly. They offer a massive selection of ice cream flavors, which makes it tough to pick. They offer something for everyone including dairy free options (including vegan options), as well as classic flavors, fruity flavors, and their own concoctions! In addition, they offer unlimited toppings to be added at NO EXTRA CHARGE!!!!! Still stuffed from dinner, I got a "single" cup, which they actually allow you to put up to (2) favors in. I decided to to go with (2) of their original creations, getting the Peanut Butter Cookies & Cream, and the Salty Caramel Brownie, to top it off, i got a chocolate drizzle, sprinkles and whipped cream. WOW! Don't let the size of the cup fool you, they pack it, full, and have overflowing. They don't skimp. The ice cream was absolutely delicious, so rich and full of flavor. The space is very relaxed with plenty of seating, as well as games for people to enjoy while visiting. Another nice touch, the cashier gave us a bottle of water on the house. In addition to cups and cones, they also offer milkshakes, ice cream tacos made to your liking, and so much more. Hands down, this has got to be the best spot in the Triad to get a nice sweet treat! As the days are warming up, I'm looking forward to going back!

Embur

I dined alone a little after 4 PM and was seated right away before the dinner rush, although there…read morewere already about 12 to 15 people inside. By the time I left around 6, there were people standing and waiting to be seated. The patio was open with one couple enjoying the nice weather and relative quiet of outdoors. Embur recently relocated to Smyres Place in Greensboro and the new space feels much smaller than I expected. The design reminded me of what I imagine a modern restaurant in Peru might look like. Industrial with solid wood floors, warm finishes, and a large wine display. There are around 25 to 26 tables, mostly two tops and four tops. The largest table seats six, but they will push tables together for larger groups. While I was there, a group of more than 20 came in celebrating something and they were seated quickly without disrupting the rest of the room. The small patio has outdoor seating with about 8 tables and a they have bar area with about nine comfortable seats. The menu took me a minute to understand but I ended up liking the setup. You choose your entrée, which comes with set ingredients, and then choose your protein. Each protein has a different price, so you can control the cost of your meal somewhat. Most menu items can also be made gluten free according to the menu, and vegetarian options seem easy to do. For my appetizer, I ordered the flatbread. Perfection. Rosemary, olive oil, sea salt. Crispy outside, soft inside, and so flavorful I almost ate the whole thing before my meal was served. The server came with water right away and remain attentive but not intrusive the whole time. For my entree, I ordered the Arroz Chaufa with salmon. Arroz Chaufa literally means fried rice. At first the dish seemed a bit salty to me, but once I added the green sauce that comes with it (served on the side), everything balanced out. The green sauce has very mild heat, so if you are not a fan of spicy food, that is the one I would recommend. There is a list of sauces so I assume you can customize your entree. According to my server, the other sauces bring more heat. The salmon was excellent, well seasoned but not too much, and moist. The portion was ample. I was very hungry but I had leftovers to bring home. Service was exactly what I want when dining alone. Attentive without being intrusive. I watched Netflix while I ate and enjoyed my meal without feeling rushed or bothered. The noise level is average for a busy small restaurant. Comfortable enough to relax, but if you want to talk to someone in your group a couple of seats away, you will need your outside voice. This place feels upscale without being fussy, so expected to pay more than average, but I thought it was good value for the quality and portions. I loved this restaurant and will absolutely go back. Must order: Rosemary flatbread appetizer. Tip: Ask about sauce heat before ordering. If you do not like spicy food, start with the green sauce.

No one checked on us our entire visit. I really enjoyed previous visits to Embur. The food was good as usual. This visit was not the norm, but I will not go back anytime in the near future....yes I will definitely miss the good food. The service was awful today and it was not busy!!

The tuna was fresh, flavorful, and overall the dish tasted great. My only critique is that there was hardly any quinoa. When I hear "quinoa bowl," I picture something more like a rice bowl where quinoa is the main base -- but this felt more like a salad with a small scoop of quinoa. Still good, just a little misleading name-wise. Drinks were solid, staff was nice and friendly, and service was smooth. Total came to $57.94, which felt a little pricey for what we ordered, but not outrageous for the area and waterfront location. Also worth noting: they are not pet-friendly inside, so keep that in mind if you're out with your pup. Overall -- great food and good drinks, just slightly pricey and the bowl name set different expectations.

They've also rounded out the drinks offerings a bit more than the last time I was here a few years ago.

Just inside, the pastry case is centrally displayed under the main counter, stock full of an array of traditional French pastries, so long as you arrive before they are sold out. To the left, is an open view of the kitchen, where you can watch the bread shaping and baking take place. I ordered an americano, alongside the sausage roll, the chocolate almond croissant, and the oranais, a traditional apricot filled pastry. Each croissant was flaky, buttery, and flavorful, washed down by the americano, leaving nothing to be desired. To top it off, the pastries were enjoyed on a beautiful, sunny day among the patio seating within the alleyway. Breakfast in Paris is a must try if you are in search of tasty French pastry within close reach!

They also have imported drinks and other specialty made coffees. Service was solid. Overall it's a great place to have around. Can't wait for my next visit.
