King Of The Wings (KOTW) was one of the first places we went to just because we were craving some savory food. The food looked appetizing, but when we saw the prices, we wanted to back away because it COULD get a bit expensive. Still, we gave it a go just to try.

The line was a bit long but they were quick to serve. Pro tip! A great sign of a good food spot is if there are many people lined up to try. Not even big restaurants can nail that on the daily, so KOTW was really impressive from the start!

We ordered a 30 Pack which included five unique flavors. And we don’t just use the word “unique” lightly here. We got the Filowing, Bee Sting, The Southern Spice, Portuguese Crumb, and my personal favorite, The Chillogy (my toilet is still crying).

At first, we thought that they’re just some fancy names. When we got to the taste test, however, we immediately understood why the flavors were named like that. Like how the Filowing literally means Filipino–tropical flavors from the Philippines!

We had beer battered chips, garden salad, and chicken garlic rice plus the typical dips you’d find in a wing place. Add that with some Dr. Pepper and beer, and we had ourselves an unexpectedly fantastic brunch!

All of the things I mentioned, we recommend for the complete experience. To top it all off, they have both traditional and gluten-free wings. It’s a great attention to detail to accommodate fitness enthusiasts who want to have a “cheat meal” that’s healthy too.

Absolutely did not disappoint

After living in the area for a year we thought it was about time we tried KOTW. It absolutely did not disappoint. A beautiful little venue, with indoor and outdoor eating areas, great craft beers & the food & service is fantastic!  We loved how you can do a wing mix and match giving the opportunity to try all of the flavours! Definitely worth a visit!

Above and beyond

We ordered through Menulog and got messed around and had no food. Until the owner called me and apologised and hand delivered a fresh meal himself, totally complimentary. What a champion. This type of service isn’t common these days, but King Of The Wings has absolutely gone above and beyond.

Next stop on our list was London Spuds. Now, I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of potatoes outside of chips, and so I was skeptical. I didn’t know if I was gonna enjoy or even get my money’s worth from this one.

When we got there, though, I saw so many people eating. Another great sign, right? But then again, the prices were a lot to bear and they only really sell…potatoes. Still, if lots of customers are willing to buy it, why not us? 

London Spuds offers baked potatoes with toppings, and the toppings are, well…interesting in the most positive way. I was impressed with how they looked! But what was more impressive was the size of the spuds–they’re HUGE.

But how does it taste? After all, we’re here to satisfy our hunger as we explore the best food trucks in the city. I got the Prince Harry, just one of the six menu items and they’re all named after England’s pop culture icons and shows. It was too delicious, man.

My colleagues recommend the Harry Potter and Adele. Regardless, here’s the list of things you can be sure of: the meat is succulent, the cheese is delicate, and the sour cream is to die for. No matter what combination you choose, you can never go wrong!

Although we suggest ordering only one spud for two people with a medium appetite because again, the potato is huge. The icing on the cake? London Spud’s choices for their locations are just beautiful. You can view their website for their next destinations!

Now, you can be a relaxing potato admiring the view while eating potatoes, how cool is that?!

Did not disappoint

Had been following these guys around on Insta for ages. Finally they came to a location that I was in the area and not already engaged. Got the Prince Harry. Did not disappoint, very good value for money, super filling and delicious. Will certainly be going back.

I’m speechless over how good these spuds are

You look at this place and think “How good could these really be? It’s a potato” I got the Harry Potter and it was the most amazing potato I’ve ever eaten in my life. You think of the price initially and you’re a bit hesitant but then they start absolutely piling the ingredients onto this potato, cheese is falling everywhere and then a big fat scoop of sour cream as a cherry on top. Incredible, I’m speechless over how good these spuds are. If I could sell my kidney to give this place 100 Stars, I would.

When it comes to authenticity, The Tasty Pocket outdo themselves in that aspect with their Greek Fusion specialties. We had a fun time dining here because they make you feel important. It’s like you’re in a festival in Greece! That’s the best way to describe it.

The staff are very helpful and friendly to the point where they prioritize your dietary options and ask if you have any allergies. This is to make sure that you have the best experience without having to worry about your health right after your visit.

However, when we spoke to one of the customers, they complained about their meal having too many chips and less portions on the main course which is the meat. We also noticed that we have different portions despite having the same order.

Nonetheless, there is no doubt about the tastiness of the dishes. On one plate, they have a perfect combination of variety, spices, and other flavors that dance around your mouth after every spoonful.

We tried their lamb and chicken pockets, Greek salad, calamari, fried halloumi, falafel bites, and baklava, among others. With all of these feast-worthy meals, The Tasty Pocket brought Greece to Brisbane while bringing joy to our stomachs. 

You don’t have to go to the land of mythology with this one!

Felt like we were on holiday

Great food and service was excellent. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The portion sizes were very good for the price too. It actually felt like we were on holiday with the Greek beers and music. Well done, Tasty Pocket.

Will definitely be returning

We tried The Tasty Pocket for the first time today. My wife has some specific dietary requirements but we were hoping she would be able to still eat here. The chef was absolutely wonderful – he discussed what she could and couldn’t eat and offered up some suggestions that worked for her. The young lady serving us, Maya, was extremely helpful and super friendly and looked after us really well. And the food? Wow. The food was incredibly tasty. Even my daughter, who is a super picky eater, smashed the kid’s chicken and cheese pocket! The calamari (coated in potato and rice flour so no gluten) was cooked perfectly and was very tasty. I had the falafel pocket and I was so impressed with the amount of flavour in it. We will definitely be returning as we thoroughly enjoyed our experience here.

There are only a few food options I find comforting aside from desserts. Sandwiches heal the mind, but sliders heal the soul. It’s probably because the smaller bites tend to mirror the snacks we had as kids, and that’s exactly what Koma Sliders offers.

We ordered their signature sliders with chicken, cheese, slaw, and in house sauces with cheesy fries: a comforting combination for the craving ones out there looking for a different kind of main carb. And, after all, that’s their best seller, so don’t think twice!

We viewed some reviews before we went there and couldn’t find a single valid complaint towards Koma Sliders. All we read about was how the staff are experts at what they do, how easy it was to communicate with them, and how their food was good.

When we got there, they weren’t lying. The staff were so welcoming and we observed that the target demographic ranged from kids to seniors. We just said our orders and they immediately went to prepare it, no questions asked.

We had plenty of requests, but they got everything right. That big of an order with good efficiency was admirable!

Oh, and their Korean BBQ salad was top-notch too. That was something we never expected to taste good let alone make sense, but it did and we loved it! Highly recommend it, really.

We were left in amazement, even disbelief with how good Koma Sliders was. Just look for them on their website–where they’ll be. Because when we asked them, they’re sometimes present in small events, bazaars, or probably just outside your door.

Highly recommend their services at any function or event

The food was absolutely delicious, not a single complaint from anyone. Yumi and Olaf were so lovely and very polite with everyone at our wedding, delivering great customer service. Koma Sliders were very easy to contact and plan with prior to our wedding and were very punctual on the day. The portion sizes were perfect and they provided a large variety of food without it losing any of its quality. There was plenty of food to last us the night and everyone enjoyed the food thoroughly. I really appreciate the great service that Koma Sliders provided on my wedding day and I’d highly recommend their services at any function or event.

Everyone loved the food and there was plenty to go around

We could not be happier with the food and service by Koma Sliders. We bought around 9 different platters and the service when the food started to when they finished was exceptional. Everyone loved the food and there was plenty to go around. Yumi and Olaf were cheerful and friendly and everything was so easy to set up with them. Highly recommend it.

Speaking of comfort food and desserts, we also looked for some sweets just for some variety. Lo and behold, Ruby The Little Red Ice Cream Van was just around the corner from where we were, and we knew we had to try it.

First off, what we saw was already a delight–Ruby is not just a regular ice cream van. She’s a restored vintage ice cream van from the 20th century! The amazing work put in to make her beautiful already gave a sign to us that her owners love what they do.

Unfortunately, two of my colleagues are lactose intolerant and have peanut allergies. However, what Ruby offers is truly what makes her a wonder. She has ice cream, gelato, and sorbet–all of which we got and highly recommend

They also have alternative versions of each to accommodate people with allergies, health problems, and of course, lactose tolerance. With that, all of us were able to enjoy our frozen treats without consequences!

I suggest vanilla with sprinkles because I’m basic, but my friends loved the Biscoff Sundae, Jacarandas, and the Psychedelic Bunny.

We went there hungry, though. But they also had some food available! We ordered some sandwiches, chips, pizza, and noodles alongside our ice creams, gelatos, and sorbets. And wow, for a truck that serves dessert, the meals were too good!

Speaking of the meals, we recommend getting them first before the stars of the show because duh, they’re desserts and are better enjoyed with full stomachs. Remember to eat before sweets, people!

Ruby is, without a doubt, one of the best food trucks in Brisbane. We can guarantee that especially after having a happy experience, like being little kids again. Their prices and staff are relatively friendly too, so if those are not enough, we don’t know what is!

Still being talked about

Ruby the Little Red Ice Cream Van, on the 31st of January came to my engagement party. They were fantastic, the ice cream was fantastic and the service was fantastic. Even now nearly 3 weeks after the party it is still being talked about with even my mother-in-law organising to have them at a work function. Thank you so much for making that night great.

10/10 experience

This year, we decided to do something a bit different for our corporate Christmas gifts, and Ruby the Little Red Ice Cream Van did not disappoint! This beautifully restored Bedford van, complete with its iconic music, brought smiles to so many faces. Sam went above and beyond, tirelessly serving around 100 delicious ice creams across three locations in the summer heat – all in a single day. Our customers were stoked, and it made for a truly memorable experience, far better than the usual Christmas hamper. A huge thanks to Sam and Rosanna for their incredible service. Ruby the Ice Cream Van is a 10/10 experience, with a delicious menu, impeccable customer service, and unforgettable charm. Highly recommended for any event!
