I've been coming here since I was 15 years old and even now as it was then the food is awesome the service has been great even though it's changed out through the years I take my family here and I still love it. I can still remember when it was just a truck and an open field and the food is still top of the line. If you don't go it's your loss
Messy and yummy. Lots of garlic, the hot shrimp is HOT!! No place to sit right now, used our beach chairs. What could be better than eating buttery, garlicky fresh shrimp under a blooming plumeria tree. A must stop. Cash only
Good food is worth the wait and the drive! Stood in line for about 45minutes, ordered, then waited about 20minutes more...Still best Shrimp Scampi on the island. No pics since we gobbled it up as soon as we got back to our car.
Good food. Beautiful area!

My hubby and I like shrimp not love it, but this was delicious! We got the butter garlic. The serving size I thought was tiny which is why only 4 stars. And while the pavilion to eat in was adorable and had a sink to wash your hands it wasn't super clean. Wasn't terribly dirty and there was someone to clean tables quickly after we arrived. People were friendly and nice to everyone.... Including the seemingly homeless man with the cute dog. The man seemed to have a crush on one of the ladies in the truck and while she seemed slightly annoyed (as he was kindly persistent) she tried to treat him like anyone else and refused his tip. (Which made it to the tip jar to split when she wouldn't accept it directly)
We also saw a baby lizard of some sort on a nearby Palm tree and that made my night! We also visited another truck for a drink and played Cornhole they had. The sunset was breathtaking and the atmosphere in general was just majestic.
We'd love to go back!
We stopped here on January 31, 2020 on a custom tour with Johnny Cab. Our driver suggested this food truck and said it’s the best one of the originals. There were three of us and we all got the shrimp scampi. We were very happy with the food and were blown away by the flavor. On top of that there was NO wait!!! It was a great stop for lunch and we will definitely be back on our next trip to the islands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
