I'm a super fan of southern soul food which makes it hard for me to give this food truck a 3 but it…read morewas just maybe an off night? They came to our neighborhood but weren't on the normal schedule (I noticed 2 trucks didn't show up). I ordered the whiting fish sandwich combo without tarter sauce. I got the combo with sauce. Hubby ordered the catfish sandwich, daughter ordered the hamburger and son got the hot dog combo. We all agreed that it was just ok. The breading on the sandwiches was just okay but mostly bland. The breading tasted store bought but bland. The fries were good and seasoned well. I don't eat bread but ordered the sandwich as that was my only option for whiting fish (also breaded). But after receiving the sandwich with tarter I was only able to eat the ends of the fish. I miss my old soul food truck from TN so I was willing to change up my eating to enjoy a great fish dish...I was disappointed.

Probably a 3.67 (why the heck doesn't Yelp have fractions yet? Those percentage points matter!) But…read morethey have potential to become an actual 4 or better. Fairly new to our city's expanding food truck scene, Southern Twang doesn't seem to know exactly what it is. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be traditional Southern cuisine or some type of "fusion", but the food was tasty and that's always a good start. I had the Farm Burger, and it was extremely flavorful. Well seasoned patty, with bacon, pickled onion, goat cheese, and a sweet/spicy pepper jam. The fries were also surprisingly good. I've come to accept that most places just treat fries as an afterthought, but Southern Twang did 'em the right way: hot, crispy and well seasoned without being too salty. Despite the righteous burger/fries they offered up, there is room for improvement. The menu is pretty confusing and seems like it could be condensed or cleaned up somehow (3 pages stapled together). I actually went there to get the beef bowl (which I assume is Asian-inspired) that I saw a pic of on their FB page only to find out that it is a breakfast dish. I'll chalk these missteps up to them just getting starting, and hope that next I visit thay the menu is a bit more cohesive.

Wow, Star Caribbean is BACK. I might have missed when this happened. Have big health problems for…read moreawhile. Great t flavors, generous portions. Fair prices, plenty of staff.

We got the chick pea curry with curry fried rice (seasoned really nice, a level 3 heat) SUPER GOOD and I'm not even a vegetarian. My husband got the chicken dumplings and white rice, this was exactly a Trinidad Asian fusion. Everything of both cuisines. We also had the fried Mac n cheese bites, this was delicious! A side of guilty pleasure for sure. Nice crunch on the outside and flavorful Mac n cheese inside. So many came out to eat at her truck tonight with some raving how it reminded them of home. A few even came back for 2nd orders! If you ever see her out in the community or if you want her to come to your neighborhood/business, just send her an email or text. She is very responsive and just all around deserving of all the blessings .

Truly unbelievable. Never been to this place but I saw their truck and was very curious about the…read morefood they sold. Couldn't find a menu online so I messaged them on Facebook to ask for a menu my text gets ignored few more days go by I send again asking for another menu and I still get ignored. A few more days go by and I said I can see you reading my messages why can't you send me a menu. The response I finally get back is I don't know who you are you have no profile. I said what does that have to do with sending me a menu you have to know someone is before sending them a menu? And then they blocked me. Wanted to try this place cuz I love jerk chicken but I will be posting this in other of you places and not going to their food truck. As you clearly can see in the conversation as something's not right with them all i asked was for a menu. And the response I get is I don't know who you is LOL come on

Went to Food truck Friday to catch up with Mr.Lavender aka The Gumbo Man. This wasn't my first…read morevisit for sure but it is my first yelp review. The Gumbo man serves many classic NOLA staples from Gumbo, Po Boys, Boudin balls, and much more. The service is always friendly and with a smile or joke. The upside is that the food is absolutely amazing, the downside, because the food is so good, you may have a bit of a wait if the line is long. Best bet is to check his Facebook page for his location and try to make it before everyone else does. Today, I ordered my favorite, a shrimp po boy and also a large pepper jack boudin ball. The po boy is classic, French bread, lettuce, tomato, pickles, mayo, and overly loaded with very fresh shrimp. I always eat a bunch of shrimp off the sandwich before I take a bite because it's that loaded! The boudin ball was a first for me. It was a crunchy outside, and a hot smooth inside packed with flavor and goodness. I will definitely be getting this again. He never disappoints from food, drinks, to deserts The Gumbo Man has you covered. Make sure you go find him. The food is more than worth the wait, if you have to. For that real deal NOLA cuisine look no further. Enjoy! PSA-This not a restaurant, but a food truck to stop any confusion.

The only downside is it took 2 hours . Not sure if that's the norm due to this being first time, but definitely took a while, luckily I was able to sit in the car All the food was good. Gumbo was great, the brisket was flavorful and tender, the sides were great. The wings were really good, my least favorite was probably the mac and cheese. Oh! And I also got the black cherry lemonade, so good!
