LuvPlates Soul & Grill

This food truck has started popping up around my office lately. A coworker told me about it, and I initially looked for it and couldn't find it. But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

Went to this place after I tried it before and wasn't impressed. I think new owners have it or something but babyyyyy, the food now is off the chain. I usually get the jerk wings, best jerk wings in the city by any restaurant, I stamp that. All these Jamaicans and can't come up with a decent native dish, for some Americans to cold kill it....yes....and the BBQ chicken off the chain...I'm impressed and I'm very picky, read my reviews, this place is great eating. Dishes are worth every penny I think they are around 16.00 but don't trip well worth it.

I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me tell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.

The food and the service here are out of this world always fresh always clean and always greeted with a smile and very generous portions I will be back when I'm back in the area

I love this spot it reminds me of that southern cooking u can't find at a restaurant but more like At your grandmothers house. The lasagna is what's really special angus beef with sweet Italian sausages definitely a plus in my book. The greens has a nice lil kick to it I love that they are mixed greens. Also the Mac n cheese is really creamy FYI. Wait but let me brag on the ribs "FALLING OFF THE BONES delicious" I've been referring everyone to the spot because it's just that good. A couple ppl I took with me bragged on the jerk chicken and how tender it was, my sister can't stop raving about the greens I'm going crazy everyday I'm hearing let's go to that soul food spot lol. And manny one of the workers was really nice and helpful gave me the samples that now has me coming back constantly.

$15 for a tiny cup of collard greens and burnt tasting turkey gumbo!!!! I thinks not. Not good at all

If you're looking for the most tender ribs with the best sauce ever, this is the place. If you're a lasagna lover, Luvsagna will make you forget all of the other lasagna you've ever eaten. The customer service is wonderful. I was greeted with a variety of guess what.....FREE SAMPLES! It's nothing like being able ttomtry something before you buy it and they will have you ready to buy one of everything.

This truck is outside my job every Tuesday. I always saw my coworkers getting food and I never went but today I decided to stop. I got a crab cake with Mac and cheese and the buffet and with that I got gumbo, greens and Mac and cheese. The food was delicious to me. The greens are cooked with turkey and seasoned just right. The customer service is amazing. They give out samples and have wonderful smiles. I will be back next week to try the jerk chicken and red deans and rice.

Great food awesome customer service. The mac is cheese is the best store bought I have ever had. So glad they have a stationary place at Savor! They also give generous samples of everything on the menu.

Pretty good! I got the 3/$15 mac, greens and ribs. Greens are pretty good. Ribs are a little too tangy/sweet with a strange flavor. Mac is EXTRA cheesy. Overall the customer service is the best part!*update* My stomach took a turn after eating this.... Could of been the abundance of cheese in the Mac or the strange flavored rib... I stand corrected the ONLY thing good was the customer service :/
