What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Surf 2 Soul's Pacific Northwest-style Southern comfort food, highlighting generous portions and delicious flavors, especially the red bean & rice burger and mac & cheese. The friendly owner and staff add to the positive experience, making it a must-visit spot for soul food lovers. While generally praised, some suggest adding a touch of brightness like green onion to dishes like shrimp and grits.
"Ordered a rice and red bean burger, fries, hush puppies and my girlfriend ordered chicken and waffles.
The challenge with red beans and rice as a burger, is you gotta come up with the flavor. And oh my goodness, the flavor is amazing!
Salt, sweet, crunch, avocado, hot bread, stretchy cheese, with a wild pickle punch in hidden bites!
The fries are natural cut, seasoned, and not. I repeat, not soggy! They were firm, had a good crunch, I didn’t even need the ketchup that came with it.
I wasn’t able to eat the whole thing, and it made for a great dinner as well. (It reheats well)
The hush puppies with the honey butter… it was like eating an apple fritter inside a hush puppy.
Truly a great twist on a southern classic
Please give this place a try, anything and everything on the menu I’m sure is amazing. I mean, if you can make a red beans and rice burger taste that amazing. You can’t go wrong with anything at this place."

"A kind soul serving up delightfully filling meals at this easy to access food truck. You’ll leave with a smile and a full belly (at least if you try what I did, which was the red bean & rice burger)! Nice outdoor picnic tables for seating too."

"The food was absolutely delicious and the guys in the truck were so kind and fun to talk to! The portions are large so it is most definitely worth the cost. My family and I were in Astoria for one day, and we were so glad we stopped here. Never thought we would meet fellow Gator fans so far from home!🐊🐊🐊"
