Located off Greenland Rd near Phillips Highway this tucked away gem is sure to impress anyone! Though it is listed as a food truck you will find quaint indoor seating as well as whimsical outdoor seating where you can choose from numerous parts of the garden to sit. The customer service was top notch as I was looking immediately greeted with the biggest smiles I’ve seen! You will find deviled eggs, various Mac n cheese dishes, sandwiches and tacos as well as a sweet dessert selection including a vanilla cupcake which I can vouch for is absolutely scrumptious! We were given a tour of the garden as our orders were being filled and shortly after our tour we were handed our to go order with promises to come back soon! Though we didn’t eat our food on site it was all very tasty and packaged carefully and quite beautifully. We got the chicken bacon ranch tacos and the buffaOH boy tacos which each came with a bag of chips. We can’t wait to go back and sit down to take advantage of the garden seating on a sunny day!

My wife and I dropped by for dinner on a Hump Day. Newly opened food truck in a nice casual and friendly environment. The layout is socially distanced and this place is lighted at night. We ordered some deviled eggs for appetizers. And we had the Portobello Mac n Cheese and Angel's Pork Sammie. The Portobello Mushroom Mac had garlic mixed with sautéed mushrooms and onions. Great combination. The small portion is enough for two people. I believe bread comes with it, but we didn't get any. We also enjoyed the Angel's Pork Sammie. The pork was slow cooked served on a toasted ciabatta with melted provolone, house made slaw and pico and I drizzled some 49's Cowboy sauce which I had on the side. So good. But for $11.99, it should have come with a side of fries or maybe a small side of their naked Mac. Nonetheless our dinner was great. Friendly owners. We will definitely be back for more.

I'm so glad I took a chance on this place! Amazing!! I followed the link for their hours, and found they were opened for lunch today. Their menu is unique which definitely matches the location. As I walked up, I could not have been greeted by a more friendlier person. After taking my order, she offered to show me around. I was so impressed as she pointed out the different area's by name. Some open areas and some more intimate areas. These surround the building, around and throughout the entire grounds. And the food? Well, it's just as amazing! They figured out what they were good at and perfected it! Hat's off to the owners! There is a beautiful vision unfolding at this place and I can't wait to watch them grow!

So far I have been twice for this amazing food. The first time was during their soft opening, my son saw the sign and said lets try it out. We got the pulled pork mac and the cbr mac and cheese with a side of deviled eggs. The food was made fast and was amazing. The second trip was last night. There was a little line but the team there had everything moving like clockwork. I again got the large CBR mac and cheese with their cowboy sauce (I hope they bottle that soon as its amazing as well) hoping to save some and have leftovers for lunch, well it was so good that I ate it all and did not regret it one bit. I will definitely be going back. The owners are wonderful as well.

Wow! The friendly and inviting welcome I received upon approaching the food truck gave me the warm fuzzies! Awesome staff. I got a personal tour of the gardens, what a wonderful and quaint place to hold an intimate shower! Many rooms are still in progress, but this place is going to be a great asset to the local community. The food was wonderful! Mac and cheese was cooked perfectly. So much flavor! Ordered the BBQ pork mac and cheese and I can’t wait to go back and try more! The carrot cake cupcake was delicious. Moist with a wonderful cream cheese frosting. Was very impressed with the seating options and how sanitary everything was. Awesome Covid precautions in place!

"THE ZERTS ARE WORTH IT." IT--as in flavor, texture, quality, price and calories. Typically, I don't indulge in eating desserts due to health reasons, but when I do, it must taste heavenly..lol. The banana pudding is to die for. A perfectly blended trio of creamy whipped custard, freshly sliced banana and not-to crunchy vanilla wafers stacked high; portioned for 2. Enjoyed the "zerts" so much until I drove back to the truck and purchased more to share with family and friends. 51 Comfort Cookhouse, I can taste the quality ingredients, time, and love placed into your brand. Keep the zerts coming because there definitely worth it! #tastesogood

This place is awesome! As soon as I walked towards the food truck I was greeted with big smiles. They really make you feel at home and even give you a tour of the place. We ordered the chicken bacon ranch mac and cheese, the buffalo chicken tacos and bbq pork tacos. The mac and cheese was one of the best mac and cheese dishes I've tried. I got the small one and it was substantial too. Really creamy and garlicky. The tacos were amazing as well. We even had the chance to try a vanilla cupcake and we enjoyed every bite. Awesome food, awesome place and awesome people makes for a great experience. Would recommend!

  • Mary Parker

We loved everything about this beautiful food truck garden! Johnny and the crew are fun and inviting! The Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful! My family tried pretty much every flavor they had to offer for their soft opening but my favorite had to be the bbq pulled pork Mac and cheese! A nice helping of of their classic Mac and cheese with very generous portion of the saucy pulled pork! I could eat it everyday! Very inviting garden with plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your meal! You will not be disappointed!

  • Bronson Lovejoy

Five stars really isn’t enough to describe how amazing this place is. The food is some of the best tasting food I have had in Jacksonville living here for 6 years and it’s insanely cheap for what you’re getting. On top of the amazing food/atmosphere the mom and son who run the operation are both extremely kind and caring individuals. They’ll always accommodate your needs and help you out in any way possible. Keep up the amazing work you’re already doing! You’ve 1000% secured a long term customer!

My fiancé & I went for the first time & wow. We were only expecting a food truck with decent food but we got so much more. We went in 12 minutes to closing & a lot of people would normally be annoyed but not here! We were welcomed with open arms & it felt so great to be in that environment. We were able to be shown around to see everything that is in the works & overall was amazing. Now that we know about this place we will definitely be coming more. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!

  • Tammy Burt

A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE! I live over an hour away and was attending a middle school football game. I was hoping the concessions would be open and have decent food but there was no need when this gourmet heaven was right next door. The food was fresh, delicious, and top notch! This place and its location is very unique. Love, beauty, care, creativity, and passion flow in all they offer. I will return to this secret hideaway. Definitely worth the drive.

  • Aaron Rittmayer

Johnny and company is truly great! The culture is almost as amazing as the food is! Gourmet Mac and cheese is an understatement. To say is the best, I've ever had is also an incredible understatement. The property and the people is warm and inviting. You come for the food, stay for the experience, but leave as family! Anybody with a stomach or just someone who loves good food, HAS to come by! WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK AND HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

  • Tim Burke

Had a chick-avo sammie and a chicken bacon ranch/garlic mashed potato bow and they were both delicious. Their garlic bread was fantastic and we had a great time. They have a nice area with games while you wait on your food. Don't think Ive ever played chess and had a delicious sandwich brought over to me before. 10/10 would recommend and will be back. They even have vegan options. You almost literally cant leave disappointed.

  • Rick Berry

This is truly a unique dining option. A great weekday lunch spot, the dining areas in the garden setting are a relaxing change of pace from the hustle & bustle of office-life. The Portabella Mac and Cheese is phenomenal, beyond words! The chef has completely mastered the art of flavor and knows how to bring his dishes to life. Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, worth the drive.

  • Jana Rounds

Wow!!! I was like meh, man n cheese. But man oh man, that was magnificent!!! I had the portobello with Cowboy sauce and chicken. My friend got Buffalo Chicken. We were pleasantly surprised!! I'd definitely go back!!! I actually added sautéed broccoli Rabe and garlic cloves to mine. I couldn't eat more than half of the small. I think a large could easily be shared.

  • Mackenzie Fedo

Could not rave enough, make a stop by and enjoy the garden seating. Husband ordered the banana pudding and says it was the best he has ever had. We both had macncheese, deviled eggs (killer) & I snuck in a carrot cake cupcake to top. Lick your fingers good and such pleasant service to cap off a wonderful experience. Will be back.

  • Stephen Bienko

This place is a complete gem. Their Mac is fresh homemade recipe that is to die for. Hands down some of the best Mac and cheese I have tasted and my kids love it also. Now the real winner of this place is the way the owners treat you and the love they put into their concept. Classic and a must experience. Highly recommended.

  • Raymond Leinart

The Mac was phenomenal! Ordered the classic and was not disappointed. Snagged an order of the deviled eggs also, they were delicious! Everyone was incredibly nice, and the setting is lovely. I will 100 percent be coming back to this place. Most likely regularly.
