Popular Bangor Maine Food Truck Opens for the 2026 Season Today

Hey Bangor, food truck season is here once again!

This is such an exciting time of year. The weather is warming up, concerts are coming to Bangor, people are getting back outdoors, and best of all, food trucks are popping up all around the area.

Things kicked off last weekend when 13 food trucks set up in the parking lot at Furniture Gallery on the Bangor Waterfront. Now local vendors are starting to get things cooking (no pun intended) for the season.

I can’t lie, I have a pretty big obsession with food trucks. I especially love it when multiple trucks are in one place at the same time. So it goes without saying that I’ve spent more than a few days on the Waterfront and at other local spots grabbing lunch.

My dream is to host a reality show where I travel the country trying the best food trucks in every state. Unfortunately, Netflix hasn’t returned my calls. Yet...

One of my absolute favorites, JJ’s Jerk Shack, is kicking off their 2026 season with jerk chicken rice bowls, Caribbean-style chicken, and smoked hot dogs outside of Sprague’s Nursery & Garden Center, located at 1664 Union Street in Bangor. Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe how good their food is.

You can grab lunch there Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and throughout the coming months.

If you can’t make it this week, follow their Facebook page to find out when they’ll be out there serving up some incredible Jamaican jerk chicken.
