I have tried many places in the area and always end up coming back here. The food is excellent, the fish sandwiches are fenomenal and the service is A1. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

Food truck with amazing seafood boils. Plenty of parking in lot next to truck (can even park by water for nice view) Owner was an incredible human whose love of cooking is evident in the food he prepares. Would definitely come back and highly recommend.

I've been looking for a local BBQ spot and I found a gem. Juicy pulled pork and the portioning isn't the smallest. The sauce is sweet but really good as well. Bun is a brioche style i believe. Fries are cooked well and the cornbread smelled amazing. I've been here 3x now and have enjoyed it everytime. The guy is very nice and will walk the food out to you himself. I look forward to coming here again and trying more things from his menu.

Put a call in order to Jabo’s for a boil and collards. I ended up needing to pick it up the next day due to a family emergency he had. The restaurant has the wrong address on Apple Maps and I ended up going to the wrong place. The owner not only gave me a very generous portion for closing shop early he ended up coming to where I was to provide me the food. Now I hesitated putting this in the review as I’m sure that is not his regular service LOL however it was a above and beyond experience especially because he was in the middle of a family emergency that week and I could tell he was very stressed, not with his customers but in his eyes I could see how tired he was. He was extremely funny and kind. Oh yeah I almost forgot, the foood!!!! 10/10 easy. Collards were best I’ve had in a WHILE - and I know good collards. Hot fresh food - Potatoes were soft but not over cooked, sauce was delicious, corn was sweet and juicy, crabs cooked perfect and eggs cooked perfectly. Thank you so much!!!

I was looking for a restaurant, but it was a food truck with a warm welcoming voice of Mr. Jabo. I told him I was diabetic and he immediately directed me towards some healthy grilled fish with beans and coleslaw. It was delicious.
There were a lot of regulars who were familiar with the owner. My son ordered the smoked mullet. It was well seasoned and a large portion. We will definitely be coming back to this establishment.

Ordered a slab of ribs and sides.
Bark on ribs and the amount of smoke flavor was perfect. Loved the sauce and side portions were massive for the cost. Enjoyed everything and I’ll be back!

Got the pulled pork and chicken sandwiches with beans and Mac n Cheese for sides. Both were delicious and Smokey. They came with a tasty BBQ sauce on the side which was perfect because we had a 25 minute drive back home. The sandwich was still hot and the bread wasn’t soggy, which normally happens when it sits for a few. The beans were sweet and tasty and the Mac was perfect. Highly recommend and will be back again soon!

We ordered a Cajun seafood boil and 1/2 rack of ribs! Everything was overcooked and had no flavor ! Ribs were as tough as beef jerky and the shrimp was so hard and corn on the cob was mushy!! Waste of money and time while I was on vacation ! The blue crab was mushy and smelled sour so those were all bad !

Absolutely delicious carryout. There's no dine in option at this food truck, but frankly, with how good it is, who cares? Between the bbq, seafood boils, and smoked fish, we had no complaints--and very little conversation as we all chowed down. Reasonably priced, generous portions

Brisket sandwich with a side of coleslaw. OMG, that was awesome. I don't think I can just drive past that food truck ever again. I want to try everything on the menu. Thanks for making it a meal that I won't ever forget.

********Update- Mr Jabo reached out to me after my review to address the issue. He kindly refunded my money and provided a complimentary meal. I really appreciate the excellent customer service. Thank you

Ordered the 2.5 lbs garlic blue crab. All the crabs smelled fishy & sour. The meat was mushy and slimy also. Tried eating the sides and it didn’t have any flavor or seasoning what so ever..$43 down the drain.

Service: 5
