We parked next door at the gas station and walked to the park. There was no parking fee or entrance fee. We made it there about 9 and there were about 5 vendors and many tables to sit and enjoy your food. There was also music playing. Slutty vegan seemed to be the only vendor with a line. When I'm talking line, I'm talking L-I-N-E!!!! As we were waiting, we ended up getting a spiked lemonade from one of the vendors and it wasn't spiked much. Lol After standing in line for 2 hours we're getting closer to the front, and then we hear "We're sold out."

I finally made it out to the Atlanta Food Truck Park last night despite living just around the…read morecorner. I had a great time and am really glad to see this place open in my neighborhood. Atlanta is better off for having food trucks (and this park, specifically). Despite the cloudy, on-and-off drizzly weather, the park had a good turnout of patrons between 7-9pm on a Thursday night. Thanks to those who braved the elements for our UYE (http://www.yelp.com/events/atlanta-atlanta-food-truck-park-uye). The food truck/food stand lineup was pretty good: Sweet Auburn BBQ Corn-a-Cue One Love Jerk Grill Metro City Dogs Lemonade Stand WOW! Food Truck Ibiza Bites Chay J's New Orleans Candies Rouxd Food Truck King of Pops Yum Yum Cupcake Verizon also had a stand. I've been following the park's official calendar (http://www.atlantafoodtruckpark.com/calendar/) over the past month and noticed Thursday nights are the ideal weeknight (excluding Fridays) to go for the most trucks and the best selection. I suspect there might have been more trucks last night if it wasn't for the weather. I ended up trying a little bit of everything: Arepas (Venezuelan sliders) from WOW! Food Truck Beef brisket with Asian pear slaw taco from Sweet Auburn BBQ Goat cheese-stuffed fried green tomatoes from Ibiza Bites Creole pretzels and Creole popcorn from Chay J's I'll be posting reviews for each of those trucks in the next few days. If you come for dinner, I recommend coming on the early side as the food trucks only have a limited supply of items and do sell out. This leads some trucks to close early. I saw many menus with marked off items that had sold out for the day. Yum Yum Cupcakes shut down early because they sold out of their cupcakes for the day. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much seating the park had. I counted 16 large picnic tables in the main "dining" area, most with umbrellas. Each picnic table can seat up to about 8 people each. The picnic tables are located on a flat, paved surface. The food trucks are located in a large gravel lot. This lot has 4 communal standing tables and 2 additional picnic tables. So overall, this spot has quite a bit of seating, which is convenient. Also, plenty of trash cans and recycling bins to keep the grounds looking relatively clean. The park is family and dog-friendly. It can be a little loud because you're around all these big trucks and next to busy Howell Mill Rd. You can BYOB, so save money by bringing your own drinks. If you want water, I saw some trucks selling it for $1 per bottle. There is one restroom and it's a "Johnny on the Spot" porta-potty in the parking lot with portable sink outside so you can wash your hands. There is ample free parking behind the park. Turn onto Emery St, next to the Shell Station on Howell Mill, to find it. If you need more detailed directions, check out the park's FAQ here: http://www.atlantafoodtruckpark.com/faqs/. The parking lot is old and filled with pot holes, so drive carefully. I saw someone puncture their car's tire by running over a broken-off metal sign post on the ground (she was trying to make too tight of a turn around the dining area). Note that every Wednesday and Friday night throughout the summer, the park will be playing movies for free. Also, from time to time, there is live music. On the weekends, there's a food market with rotating vendors and an artists market coming soon. Overall, I'm very happy with the Atlanta Food Truck Park and definitely plan on returning.

We ran across Pretty Little Taco Truck that has their take on birria tacos and had great reviews so we decided to head to Triton Yards. While it's not a huge place, it's a decent size. It is located in the Westend of Atlanta. We went on a Saturday and I believe there was about 5 food trucks along with a dj. They also have plenary of parking. There's a lot directly behind them for parking, as well as I noticed parking on the side where people could park. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Triton Yards is family friendly. While there was a dj, the music was good and appropriate for all present. There is a green space out there with games for the kids like big jenga, as well as a fire pit for s'mores when the sun sets. They sell a s'mores kit for $3 which isn't bad. I also liked the fact that they have a drink shack with both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages. I really love that there is something like this in the African American community! I think that it gives those who live in and around the community a safe place to have fun and experience other minority small businesses that they can support. In following them on social media, I've noticed they also provide other events like wellness Wednesdays (yoga) and sip and paints. I know I'll be back because there's a number of other places I'd like to try and I love the fact that they support and provide a nice space for African Americans, as well as others to experience.

I ordered the Cajun burger loaded up with crawfish -- and when I tell you it was seasoned right and full of flavor, I mean that. Not dry, not bland, not basic. Just good eating. On top of that, I grabbed a buffalo chicken wrap and a chicken quesadilla, and everything hit. Fresh, hot, and made with care. You can tell they actually take pride in what they're serving. This place is definitely worth going to when you want an authentic hamburger and other real options off the menu. It's not one of those watered-down spots it's authentic, full of flavor, and it gives you that "yeah, I'd come back here for more. Aliens I know we don't hype food up for nothing -- and this spot deserves the love.

I found Mix'd Up Burgers on TikTok, and their Cajun burger with crawfish was on my list, along with…read moretheir Italian fries. As part of my weekly new-place tradition, I finally ordered both. First, about the location: it's a small spot off Boulevard where this isn't a ton of parking space. I went on a Saturday around 2:30, and there wasn't much traffic--though I'm not sure how busy it gets at other times. Now, the fries. Honestly, they were just regular fries with Parmesan... nothing Italian or special about them. The reigning champion for Parmesan fries to me continues to be Urban Trend Cafe. The burger was big but inconsistent. Most of the crawfish tasted plain, and the real flavor only hit at the end, like the seasoning wasn't evenly spread. If the whole burger had tasted like that last bite, it'd have been great. But for $22 with no drink, that was disappointing. Still, that last burst of flavor showed potential. I'm open to trying them again, but I may just try something different next time. Overall, a decent experience, but that's really it.

Here it was all about enjoying nice craft beers, specialty cocktails, local arts, crafts, and live music. It is free to attend. It was held in Grant Park which is a large public greenspace in Atlanta. It's address is 800 Cherokee Ave. It is just south of Oakland Cemetery. As with all public festivals in Atlanta, alternate transportation is recommended because parking is limited. Uber or Lyft are good ideas. So is biking, or walking in on the Beltline. I had a $25 gift card from Yelp which I won on Instagram. I redeemed it at the entrance at information center. Thanks to Jim how helped me at the desk. Thanks to Yelp in giving me an opportunity to explore this beautiful place. If you're craving something fresh, healthy, and delicious, you'll have to try some of their award-winning soba noodles at Island Noodles Atlanta. I love their unique style, taste and presentation. There were food purveyors from across the southeast. They had everything for vegetarians and carnivores alike. There were about 50+ trucks in the park. I would be back again next year.

Thanks, Grant Park Food-o-Rama! Several great things about this event - pre-sale tickets were only $5 (yes, there was a small admin fee), tickets were mobile, so I didn't need to waste paper, the trucks were not cash only - they operated as usually and had credit card capabilities. Also, they were well placed within the park and the lines were not out of control. By my estimation, there were probably about 40 food trucks - with about 7 or so being dessert trucks (who were placed together) and there was such a wide variety of trucks, it was very hard to decide what I wanted to get. From hot dogs, to lobster rolls (two lobster trucks, in fact), to filipino food, to french fries, to crepes, to cheesesteaks, to donuts and everything in between. We were lacking for nothing! There was live music, some vendor booths and plenty of park area to bring a blanket and sit and eat and enjoy the atmosphere. It was 9 hours of food, fun and more food. I cannot wait for this event next year - let's hope the weather is as amazing next hear as it was this year. Thanks, Grant Park Conservancy and Indie South Fair!

It was my first time visiting, so I told them and asked how everything worked, and they made it super easy. Ordering is flexible. You can order at the front counter, or you can snag a table since it's open seating. Once you sit down, a server will find you, give you a number, and take care of you for the rest of your visit. I ended up getting a booth thanks to a very friendly manager who helped me out. For drinks, I had a few cocktails, and my favorite was the Sage Against the Machine, a gin-based cocktail that tasted so fresh and delicious. I also had some Prosecco and an appetizer, the Dip Trio, which comes with guacamole, salsa, and queso. All three were amazing, and it was so good I honestly forgot to take a picture. Overall, I would definitely go back, especially to try more of their entrées and tacos because they have a wide variety available.

We started with the queso and chips, but it would have been much better if the queso had been served hot. The corn ribs were a highlight and something I would order again. I had the taco salad for my main, which was fine overall, though the steak was also served cold. The atmosphere is relaxed and laid back, especially with the open windows and doors, which makes it a great place to hang out. I just wish the food had been served warm to match the vibe.
