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.

The food was seasoned to perfection & it had a nice spice to it. Mac and Cheese had more then enough cheese & the yams were nice & sweet. Customer service is top-tier & the manager even came out the truck to explain some things on the menu. I also received a sample of whiting fish & it was fried to perfection.

I got the small jerk chicken platter with mac n cheese and collard greens from the food truck. The chicken was spicy and delicious and the sides were good as well. The small platter as 10 bucks but ample for one person

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.
