Fresh, hot, and amazing! Quick, friendly service. Good portion sizes and the best chicken sandwich we’ve had (better than original Shake Shack). Way more fries than we could eat.

Bys…motley meal today. Big Mckenna with a d”Italiano style bun and bacon bits that were non existent on a slapped together burger. For $28 you expect way better. Every year I give this place a try and every year it gets worse. Zero consistency. The big Mckenna was on the hitchin kitchen menu way back but still tastes different every time I have it. Seems like a quality control issue with too many trucks and no supervision of new staff . First year was amazing, such a shane to see it go downhill. Clearly visible by the lack of any type of lineup or other customers at peak time.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Johnny & Mae’s food truck, and it was an awesome experience! The burgers and fries were absolutely delicious. Jen and Missy were incredibly friendly and kind, making the experience even better. Highly recommend this food truck for anyone looking for great food and wonderful service!

We each had the chopped cheese burrito and it was bomb. The tortillas were perfect and didn’t rip which was astonishing with how big the burrito was! The fries are probably the best I’ve ever had and we were eating them for days. Massive portions and the landwash location is so beautifully decorated for Christmas.

I have only been once but it was a spectacular burger and fantastic french fries. I am just a tourist to the city so I might not know the best/closest street parking but there is a paid lot within a minute walk and it costs $1 for the convenience. DON'T FEED THE PIGEONS!

Great food and friendly staff. I got the Dorito crunch wrap and fries. Fries are hand cut and crispy. Burger was spicy which I love and they warned me about. Only negative was no vegetarian options besides fries. Definitely will eat here again.

We ordered the scallops and fries, and the honey garlic chicken tacos. Both absolutely delicious! Some pro-tips before you come here; bring some wet wipes, lots of tissues, and a small bottle of water! And don’t wear your favourite clothes! If you’re looking for a quaint meal that you can politely consume with a fork and knife, look elsewhere. The food here is so hefty, that you will emerge from your culinary experience slathered in sauce and other entrails from your burger/taco. And the food is so good that you won’t mind either! The only way to consume this food is as if you’re a starving crazed madman who hasn’t eaten solid food in three weeks; with sauce and other entrails covering your hands and face, as you proudly devour your fresh kill with reckless abandon! And if *somehow* you emerge from your culinary deathmatch with no sauce or other entrails on your clothes, the Valkyrie’s themselves will descend from the heavens and sing your Vinland Saga in the halls of the all-father!

Excellent and efficient service with big portions and Pepsi products. .My daughter had the Double Double burger with fries and I had the Saltbeef Poutine, a very Newfoundland treat indeed. All was delicious and large enough portions to split both, will definitely return and try to get my hands on the Mother Klucking loaded fries!

Some great reasons to get the fish & chips at Johnny & Maes Sea Treats Food Truck in Quidi Vidi. Generous portions. Reasonably priced. Fresh & delious. Best in St. Johns.

Good food, nice big and tasty portions, sitting on a table under a tree. Not much can go wrong there. Add the friendly staff and the woman in the counter(Mae, I suppose?)s smile and kind attitude. I will be back. The only downside in my opinion, they close early. Otherwise, it would be my go-to for supper.

Not worth the hassle of a mediocre burger that should cost less than $10. Stay away, money grab!

Bun on burger burnt , fries to salty, bacon on burger hard as a rock , chicken burger too much sauce couldnt eat too spicy ..water warm ...and way over priced for what we got ,2 burgers ,2 water ...$60.00

Everyone always says how amazing these guys burgers are so I decided to try it, and I was very disappointed. It was $26 for a water, burger and fries which isn t exactly cheap. The patty was very small and my buns were burnt to a crisp, the bacon was nasty and overall just not a good burger at all. You get a good amount of fries but they re also not the best and were almost burnt as well. I d be willing to try this place again but man this was not what I expected at all.

Love their main dishes, get them usually twice a month 5/5, however I have a consistent issue of getting extremely bad fries. Really really dry and just unpleasant to eat. Hense why I can only give 4/5. Hopefully this improves an I can update my rating.

Two meals, Animal Burger with works waffle fries and Hickory Smoked Burger with works waffle fries. The waffle fries were ok, the toppings had some issues. The cheese sauce appeared and tasted watered down and the brisket... was not smoked or grilled properly, it tasted like it was almost boiled The Hickory Burger had a bit too much bbq sauce but otherwise it tasted good. The Animal Burger was disappointing, the chicken was two thin pieces that had been way overcooked, I had to remove it from the burger because it was hard. The saving factor was the grilled garlic butter bun and it could have used something more to add to the freshness of the red onion like lettuce or spinach. The meals came to $70 total. We figured the burgers would have been huge but they were quite normal in size so it didnt feel like it was worth it. We can say we tried it now, I wanted to return for a chicken burger at some point but after that sad filet on the Animal Burger, I think well try somewhere else. Would not recommend, unfortunately.

I have no idea how this place has such overwhelmingly positive reviews; perhaps the most overrated place in St. John s. The cost is absurdly high, the flavour profile is salt and nothing more - so disappointing. Spend your money elsewhere because this is simply not worth it. There are far better options for a far better price.

Great customer service. Fresh homecut fries... just the right amount of crispy. Delicious Chipotle chicken burger. The portion is huge so I split with hubby. We were both full! $22 for 2 people for gourmet street food. What more could I ask for?!! Definitely going back! For any Toronto folks, the food is the same excellent quality as Stockyards on St. Clair.

I just had the tastiest burger here! Unfortunately I dont have a picture but I will update my review with a pic next time I go. I just had the Big McKenna Burger. The bun was nice and plump. The cheese was perfectly melted. The pickles that were on it were crisp and delicious. Everthing tastes fresh and well cooked. The meat was the star here as it should be. Very very well seasoned, and because they cook them smash style the edges has those nice crispy bits we all love. Seriously the meat on this burger was perfect! Ill be back for sure - it was the best burger Ive ever had. Update: I went again and this time the Red Curry Birria Tacos (with a picture). These are PERHAPS one of the best Tacos I have ever eaten. It isnt just a good taco - the fusion element with the red curry sauce was INCREDIBLY good. Super super tasty, and not too too heavy compared to like a burger and fries. Ill be getting these tacos again, for sure!!

While the food is good, to say that the curbside pick up is poorly organized is a massive understatement. It s the worse experience imaginable. For a scheduled pick up time. I waited 30 mins with 20 other cars idling the whole time. Then I got my food with there multiple cars in front of me who hadn t yet got their food yet so I couldn t go anywhere. I had to sit in the line for another 10-12 mins. Crazy and certainly not worth it.
