Customer Reviews
I have eaten here for over 13 years. Everything tastes the same everytime and is so good. The potatoe salad is amazing. Definitely recommend and will return.
Service was great and very polite however the food has slightly changed. Whiting is always my go too and very good! My wife ordered oxtails and this round was not as good as when we use to order them. Very tender however the flavor is not that oxtail flavor. Requested extra gravy and it was a greasy mess. Actually poured the grease on the side of the street. Not sure why they would pour grease on top as if it was gravy:( Yams definitely changed they were #1 for them but now its nothing but nutmeg. I would rather taste a bunch of cinnamon rather than nutmeg so yea that was a waste of a platter. Highly suggest they cut back on the nutmeg and go back to how they use to prepare their oxtails. Definitely recommend the fish sandwich!
The rice is overcooked unseasoned. The cabbage is overcooked unseasoned. The oxtails are chewy unseasoned never again will I go there the food look reheated
We had the opportunity to try Gigi and Big R's food truck at a street festival in Philly. It was good. The fish sandwich was multiple pieces of fried fish on a bed of bread. The fish was well made. My wife had the stewed chicken platter with rice and beans and Mac and cheese. The platter was very good! There were well over a thousand people at the festival and the line still moved at a brisk place which was impressive. We would hit the truck again.
Best food truck i have ever gone to. The fried fish was superb and the bacon egg and cheese was out of this world. I would highly recommend stopping by great people and even better food. They even gave us free samples of the food and it was all amazing. We got a full bacon egg and cheese and fried fish. Great people great food would reccomend.
