COME HUNGRY, leave with your soul fed
THE HUNGRY GATOR STORY
They say he came out of the backwaters with a hunger no one could name.
Not for flesh—but for flavor...one that could feed his soul.
He searched the South, wandering through smokehouses and supper tables, but nothing stuck.
Until Charleston.
There, he tasted food with history.
Food seasoned by our ancestors.
Food that burned and healed in the same bite.
Once his soul was fed, he slipped back into the waters, but the spirit of the Hungry Gator lives on in every soul food taco we serve.
The Hungry Gator isn’t just a food truck—it’s a legacy.
Our tacos are rooted in Southern tradition and spiked with bold flavor.
We use real ingredients, soulful seasoning, and recipes inspired by generations who came before us.
Every meal is a memory.
Every plate is a promise.
To bring the kind of flavor that feeds more than just your stomach—it feeds your spirit.
It’s the taste of home for the hungry-hearted.
A story you can sink your teeth into.
Come hungry. Leave with your soul fed.
THE HUNGRY GATOR MENU
THE GATOR BITE
Smoked brisket, fire-roasted corn, house-made hot honey sauce.
A bold, unapologetic bite—flavor that lingers and bites back.
THE BACKWATER BRISKET
Slow-cooked brisket, collard green slaw, tangy vinegar drizzle.
Rich, smoky, and soft—like a story whispered over generations.
THE SOUL WRAP
Fried chicken, mac & cheese, pickled onions, spicy remoulade.
Comfort food in a tortilla—soft, sharp, and impossible to forget.
LEGACY GREENS (VEGAN)
Braised collard greens, black-eyed pea mash, crispy onions.
A vegan option rooted in tradition and seasoned like a sermon.
ANCESTOR'S FIRE
Pulled pork, candied yams, chipotle glaze.
Sweet. Smoky. Spicy. A blessing and a burn.
LOW COUNTRY LOVE
Shrimp & grits taco with garlic butter, scallion, and pepper jam.
Southern roots, coastal soul.
BAYOU BUTTER BOMB
Layers of caramelized banana pudding, rich bourbon butter pecan crumble, and whipped vanilla cream—served with a crispy vanilla wafer crown. Sweet, smooth, and Southern as sin.

WE'VE FED LOTS OF HAPPY SOULS
The Hungry Gator is straight-up soul food magic. From the first bite of brisket to the last drop of banana pudding, everything SLAPS. We had them cater my daughter's party, and even the picky eaters were begging for seconds. Kids, adults—everyone left full and happy.

This food truck? A whole experience. The flavors are bold, nostalgic, and unforgettable. I’m obsessed with the Legacy Greens taco—and don’t even get me started on the Bayou Butter Bomb. They’ve got real heart in their food. 10/10 will haunt this truck again.
