Focus on Food Trucks: Jenny's Northern Grill

Sarah Hannon | Jul 27, 2022

Nothing says summer quite like the smell that wafts through the air as you pass by a chip truck on long country road. In its second operating season Jenny’s Northern Grill, located in the parking lot of the Godfrey General Store (811 Rd 38), has quickly become a local favourite. Owned and operated by Jen Cox the chip truck offers everything from burgers made with Gilmour’s local beef, fresh cut fries, deep fried cheese curds and the ever popular poutine. When you pull into to order from Jen and her team you are immediately greeted with a friendly smile, likely your first name if you are a regular, and an enticing menu bound to satiate anyone that stops by! All of this is evidenced by a recent Reader’s Choice Award from the July 2022 edition of Our Lakes magazine, where they received over 40,000 entries, presented to Jenny’s Northern Grill for the best Chip Truck around and if you read any of the reviews found online you will immediately know why. Jen has also been known to be flexible with her customers and creating onion ring and ranch style poutines upon request. She also offers a kid’s menu (under12) and a variety of wraps for those looking for something lighter. The community support for the Chip Truck has only grown stronger this year as people are eager to explore and support local businesses and it’s no surprise with Jen and her teams’ high level of customer service, combined with a small-town friendliness that Jenny’s Northern Grill has become a such a popular Godfrey destination. The hours of operation are available on Facebook and payment is accepted by cash, debit or credit and you can even order ahead for pick-up by texting 613-583-2146.
