Customer Reviews

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

- Cy S.

"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 finally made the trip out here--this place lives up to the hype. I'll definitely be back soon!"

"Ok so I was in Hollywood for a few days and was craving jerk Chicken, I came to this location after reading reviews and the food was decent. We had the triple combo and was definitely not expecting all that meat (pause) ended up giving some to a homeless guy on the beach."

"If you have not been to Chef Tally, you are truly missing out. This place has the most authentic, juicy and delicious jerk chicken you will ever have. I eat here almost every week, and for every company event, I'm sure to have Chef Tally in the lineup. Don't walk, run to get you a plate of their delicious jerk chicken, pork and ribs. Yumm!"

- Rhonda E.

"Bought a couple of things fry fish was delicious but the escovitch had too much sugar in it worst it's something they make from early to serve throughout the day so by the time you buy it the onion and carrot is really sweet with sugar with it's not suppose to have a sugar taste, then I Ordered 3 meat combo the ribs was delicious, the chicken was ok but VERY disappointed with the pork & I love pork really lacking taste serving that large amount of food really need to ensure you prep your pork properly because it's really lacking taste even when I placed it down for awhile you know you can go back and taste a piece and the seasoning would have traveled through the meat but it hasn't and you shouldn't have to depend on jerk sauces to carry off the meat, should be great by itself waste a lot of meat because of it but fast customer service. Oh & the festivals was really nice."

- Dale J.

"Holy moley! I drove 45 minutes today to try this. It was recommended by a good friend of mine. Wow, it did not disappoint. The ribs are the best in South Florida. Chicken is amazing. And the price was great. Best BBQ in South Florida hands down!"
