Absolutely loved it. Amazing service! The oxtail was so tender, exactly how I like it. Even though it’s scorching hot outside and I know it’s 10x hotter in their food truck, they still provided me with the best service!

I don't usually write Google reviews, but I had to for this one. The mac and cheese here is absolutely amazing—it's the most delicious I've ever had! I also loved the strawberry lemonade; it was perfectly sweet. Overall, everything was fantastic, and I’d give it a 10 out of 10!

Tried their oxtail plate with plantains and the rice. The food was heavy and on the greasy side. I would try their chicken next time.

When I tell you! these are the best! Oxtails in triangle , the triad and all of the above!! I’ve had my fair share of oxtails from all around, and none of them can compare to the size, the flavor and the quality of Levy’s Jerkstand’s! So good that they even load you up on the plantains too! It really hits the spot, so much that I had to search my bank statements for y’all’s name so I could leave a review. Thanks for the great experience! Y’all work hard and it shows so GOOD! We will be back
