… This could not be the same Chef Tally that I had many years ago. I ordered their 3 meat platter (jerk chicken, jerk pork, and jerk St. Louis ribs.), and a small jerk chicken. Nothing had any real flavor. The jerk and overall flavor was just about nonexistent; quite insipid… Even a little bit of salt would have been great. It was smoky, but that was really it. I know wood is expensive, but they definitely would have benefited from using something more than just post oak; a couple of logs of pecan, apple, cherry, or something else to give it a little “oomph”. For me, this was nothing like traditional jerk that I’ve grown up enjoying in Jamaica. The sauces, however, were great! Really, the only saving grace of the meal.

I drove 40 minutes from South Beach just to try this chef tally food truck, and let me tell you—it was totally worth it. I arrived right during the dinner rush and waited in line for about an hour, but I was just glad they hadn’t sold out by the time I got to the front! I ordered the large chicken and the large chicken & ribs combo. The meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor. The sauces were a standout—sooo good with just the right amount of heat. I'm a big pepper sauce fan, and theirs did not disappoint. I also appreciated the variety of sauces available. Another thing I noticed (and appreciated): they were really clean and organized. The staff cleaned the sauce bottles frequently and made sure everything stayed stocked and tidy, even during the rush. I’m so happy I fin

First time here and the ribs and chicken was the bomb. Plenty of food comes with each order. Love these local places.
