I’m sitting here no more than five days after eating at the
Green Truck Pub thinking that I don’t really remember my meal. All I remember is it seems like I
waited for an eternity.
Green Truck doesn’t “do” reservations so Chicken Sandwich
Girl arrived at 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening to “hold our place” for a table for
eight people. The other seven of us arrived promptly at 8 p.m.
We waited outside with the bugs and the Savannah humidity. It
was 9:07 p.m. before we saw the inside of the restaurant.
I know, I know. I’m the asshole who tried to go to a popular
restaurant on a Friday night with a few friends and their sweeties. Regardless,
97 total minutes is excessive.
My food was good. I’m not going to rant about it because I’m
sitting here questioning why I waited that long for food when there are so many
other local restaurants in this town with great food and no wait. I have no
immediate answer.
Green Truck is a burger joint with a small menu. But to be
fair, there is a lot of flavor crammed into that tiny menu. And the best part
is that with their impressive variety of choices, they can make any one of them
with chicken sandwich or into a veggie burger.
The hostess split the eight of us into two tables and many
of us ordered the same things because we couldn’t confer choices over the
aisle.

| Must get: Pimento appetizer |
The best part of the meal was this appetizer that Mike
ordered. It’s pimento cheese with some pickles and really perfect crostini. I
recommend this over everything else I tasted at the Truck.
I ordered an El Jefe burger which is cheddar, black bean and
corn salsa, avocado and jalapeños. It was good, I didn’t get my Mexican
passport stamped or anything, but it was tasty.

| Chicken El Jefe style |
Patricia ordered the same thing and when I yelled across the
aisle to ask her how she liked it, she nodded with her mouth full that it was
good. She might soon be nicknamed Lady Nodsalot, I’m not sure yet. And Chicken
Sandwich Girl had the same style burger we did, but with…you guessed it,
CHICKEN!!!
Mike had the Rustico which is goat cheese, balsamic vinegar,
caramelized onions, roasted red peppers and basil. He neither gushed about it, but
he didn’t bring out his Big Baby persona to terrorize our waitress either.
Steve and Dean both ordered Chicken and Apples. It sounds
pretty gross to me, but they both liked it.

| Angela's Trailer Park Burger |
Angela had the Trailer Park Burger which is Green Truck’s pimento
cheese and bacon. She said it was good, but she thought it was weird they
didn’t ask her how she wanted her burger cooked. I agree.
Allison’s meal takes the cake for being the craziest and for
looking the weirdest in these photos. She got The Whole Farm and it is a burger,
bacon, cheddar and a fried egg on a bun.

No one was really too chatty about their meal. I think the
wait and the bugs turning us into a meal outside as we waited killed it for us.
If you are going to the Green Truck, my advice is to go
around 11 a.m. when they open. I hear there is no wait then.
Or if you’re like me and you don’t like to wait at all, Sol
has some great burgers and Sammy Green’s makes amazing sandwiches.
