I went after-school and ordered the BBQ lunch. It was so good! The workers were really nice to my dad and I. My favorite was the tuna pasta salad. :) Definitely going again.

Chef’s Dad is top-tier! The food and the customer service never disappoint. In my opinion, they serve up some of the absolute best BBQ ribs on the Treasure Coast…tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone good! The sides are just as impressive, those pineapple baked beans and the tuna salad… chef’s kiss! They’re generous with the portions, which makes every bite feel worth every penny. I learned to call ahead before making the trip though, because the two times I didn’t? Whew, baby… they weren’t out, and I was BIG disappointed Hands down, this is my favorite food truck/BBQ spot. 10/10—highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ribs were amazing but the chicken was just okay. Amazing mac and cheese! I'd describe the atmosphere as chill, the "chief" deifinally just wants to share his amazing food.

Just had a super delicious chicken dinner with 2 sides (fries and beans). The meat was juicy and had a nice mesquite smoke flavor to it. The beans were prepared with pineapples, amazing! I put mild BBQ sauce on my fries, finger licking good! Decided to stay and eat outside, which was wonderful. The service is very friendly and everyone is really nice. Great way to unwind after a busy day at work. Will be back for more for sure! And today, 11/30/18 I came back for chicken wings, fries and mild wing sauce and mild BBQ sauce. Very delicious, the wing sauce had a nice 'kick' to it. Yummy!

The final day of my vacation (from Toronto and visiting fam in Jupiter) and I was amazed to find this treasure. The portions are big and the food is legit. The Mac n cheese is next level! The ribs with some hot sweet bbq saved my life. I was having a hangry day after driving an hour to find a gator boat tour (which was awesome and worth it). The surrounding environment is peak America too! I had to find Chef's Dad by driving through some place called Historic Fort Pierce, that was just boring rich opulence and hubris (a Florida theme) and through a much more interesting neighborhood of some Black Historical significance with character and real life. I got to the destination and found the service amazing and kind. And just sooo good. I'm glad I found it on the last day of my vacation. Because I would have made the drive from boring Jupiter to Chef's Dad EVERYDAY. hey cooks in Chef's Dad, if you ever get bored of Florida please consider coming to Scarborough.

This is a one of a kind business. They actually care about the quality of the food they serve. And the food is AMAZING. The only bad part is I ate so much, it canceled my fishing trip. You have a customer for years to come. Keep up the great work!

Everything about this experience was awesome!!! The owners were amazingly kind, the staff was informative & pleasant and the food was GREAT!! I was able to make my own sauce mix and the flavor was GREAT!!! Can’t wait until they are open again!
