I debated taking off a second star for the slow service... but I didn't because I liked the waffle and food trucks attract lots of customers. I went to Josh's Farmers market on a day I knew this truck would be there. IG pics looked great and I knew it was something my niece would enjoy. We arrived around 1pm on a Sunday afternoon and I just about stopped dead in my tracks when I saw the 30 or so people in line. However, we drove from Huntersville, and although it wasn't super far it was enough of a hassle that I didn't want to turn around and leave. So we waited. For. An. Hour. Plus. 15. Minutes. I was pretty annoyed because I had gone there somewhat hungry - silly me, not knowing how small the novelty waffles are. By the time we'd waited over an hour I also had an unhappy child who was hungry too. Finally just after 2:15 it was our turn to order. My niece wanted the original, she didn't want all the extra stuff. I wanted the Nutella/strawberry waffle and I kid you not.. they gave the last one to the woman who ordered before me. Unbelievable. I was too through.. and also by the time we got our order at about 2:30, we were starving and that little waffle did not do the job. They were tasty.. just know this is a treat, a dessert, not filling at all. I didn't expect it to be filling, I just expected them to be bigger. I do feel they are reasonably priced based on the size... but we stopped for pizza on the way home. There was one person taking orders and the other was making the orders. The woman making the orders could have used a hand. I can't understand why it took her so long to put 2-4 toppings on a waffle, but the order prep took forever. Keep this in mind if you visit .. be prepared to wait and eat a meal in advance. I'd try it again because the waffle was good, but I wouldn't wait an hour, it wasn't worth a wait that long IMO. read more

The waffles are dessert size so don't expect a breakfast size item. Reasonably priced at $5 with interesting toppings however be prepared to wait a long time. Only one person working the food cart taking orders 3 at a time and preparing them one at a time. Although the desert sized waffles were good not worth the time waiting for them ( one hour). If you had kids with you it would be better going to a McDonalds. read more

Holy. Waffles. I've been watching this truck for a while now. They came to down to my neck of the woods today in the neighborhood next to mine, so we finally tried them. Right now they have all their ordering and payment online because of Covid-19. We got there a few minutes early so our waffle wasn't quite ready. They texted us a couple of minutes later when it was ready. We got a Take 5 (with white chocolate instead of milk chocolate) and a Fruity Pebbles. They were amazing. I preferred the Take 5 but that's just because I love peanut butter/caramel. My only complaint about these waffles was that I wanted more. I was so sad when they were gone! If you see this truck, try them out! If you don't seem them, stalk them and find them. read more

I was impressed with Holy City Waffles. Somehow, they are able to cover their waffles in sauces and toppings while keeping the waffle crunchy! I was blown away. I thought for sure they would be soggy. I liked both the take 5 and the fruity pebbles waffle. Find a waffle that interests you and you'll be happy. read more

Waffles are 5 stars!!! So there is a "Food Truck Fridays" every Friday in the South Blvd area. A friend told me she was going there after work so I decided to meet her there. I walked around and came across this truck; all it took was for me to walk pass one person that ordered a waffle and I said I had to try that! Let me tell you, I was NOT DISAPPOINTED WHATSOEVER!! This waffle is soo GOOD!!! I ordered the strawberry and Nutella waffle. The waffle itself caught my attention because it was on an ice cream stick and as weird as I thought that was at first - it worked and actually added appeal to the waffle presentation! Once I took that first bite!!? It was over! The waffle was perfectly made and totally satisfying to my tastebuds! It was to the point where I had no intentions of coming to this food truck event but then I thought about the opportunity to have another waffle?? I had to go! Overall, AMAZING WAFFLES! I have only tried the strawberry and Nutella- but it was very much worth it!!! read more

Little bit of a novelty try. I'm a big fan of waffles and pancakes, so I thought I'd give this a try. Usually I can throw back some waffles, so I got their loaded special, but it is sort of a small snack for the price of a combo meal. I mean it's pretty, but not very filling. Generally, I like a crispy waffle that can hold topping, but they were slinging them out fast so that's probably why it was a bit soft. I do understand the niche they're filling for festivals though; I get it. They do make very Instagram ready photos. read more

Yummy waffles on a stick! Another great idea for a food truck. You can make your own, choose either buttermilk or chocolate chip waffle at first. Then you can choose various toppings and syrups to add on. All at a small price. Or check out their specials, which today included: waffle with sausage gravy, or maple bourbon bacon, or cinnamon roll. These were made to order so a little wait, but they were so delicious to eat. My favorite was the maple bourbon bacon. Look for Holy City waffles and eat them up! read more

Holy city waffles stopped by in our neighborhood during quarantine. They had a great online ordering system where you could order ahead and pick up at a certain time. My husband and I ordered the take5 and s'mores waffle along with the edible cookie dough and pretzels. I preferred the s'more's over the take5, but both were so delicious. Unfortunately we waited till we got home to eat the waffles, but next time we must eat it the second we get it fresh! To be honest, I preferred the cookie dough dip over the waffles. I was also very surprised on how good the cookie dough tasted by being eggless. Very good! Next time I go here I really hope they have a cookie dough waffle - that would be a win-win! read more

I ended up at Resident Culture following my favorite vegan food truck, and low and behold this new kid on the block was there also! They relocated to the QC from Charleston, SC and being a lover of homemade waffles, I couldn't be happier about their move. They offer dessert waffles with many toppings to choose from (strawberries, bananas, nutella, caramel, vanilla, powdered sugar, sprinkles, peanut butter, etc). They present the waffles on a stick and you pick your toppings. I decided on the vanilla drizzle, powdered sugar, and strawberries and it was made to order hot and the toppings were fresh and it was melt in your mouth greatness. I'm so excited to have HCW join the food truck scene. read more

I'm hooked! My first experience with Holy City Waffles was at Container Bar and I wasn't disappointed. A waffle on a stick!...what a deliciously amazing idea. A great dessert option. My boyfriend ordered a s'mores waffle and a create your own--with Fruity Pebbles, glaze and strawberries. The waffles were warm and soft and the toppings were the perfect added touch. They were so good! My favorite was one with Fruity Pebbles. The man who was taking the orders was super friendly. Hopefully I will run into the truck again sometime soon. read more

Very tasty little treats. I think I was expecting them to be bigger, but I guess it would get hard to hold a waffle on a stick if it was much bigger. I went with the bourbon maple bacon, and you could really taste the bourbon, which I didn't mind, but it really overpowered the maple flavor, which I did mind. My daughter went with the s'mores waffle, which was loaded with the appropriate ingredients, and instead of milk chocolate, had a Nutella spread, which gave it a bit of a nutty flavor. Overall, very good bites, and I'd probably stop by again the next time they're nearby. read more

These waffles look amazing and that is why I, obviously, had to try some out on our UYE brewery crawl. While everyone else really loved them, I just thought they were okay. Truth be told, I judge every waffle I will ever eat now against another local waffle place that is amazing and these just didn't wow me like the other place. I thought the waffle itself was lacking in flavor and my bacon toppings were not crispy (more chewy). I also thought $9 for two of them was a little steep considering the size. read more

I stumbled into the truck unexpectedly and couldn't walk past. The menu was a limited version at the time and STILL offered tons of combos and choices. I can't decide if I'm thrilled to have so many delicious combos to create or wildly overwhelmed. The one downside was the only savory option had bacon, so a friend ended up passing because she didn't eat pork. The choice do tend to favor the sweet side. I got the cinnamon roll and it was delicious. I only wish they offered a bigger waffle. The cost is 3.50-4.00 dollars and it felt a bit small for the price. But it sure was tasty. read more

This little stand is seriously EVERYTHING! I found them via Instagram and made it a point to hunt it down on 2nd Sunday and it did not disappoint. The waffles are as delicious as they look and completely worth a wait. The only downfall is that the toppings are all separate so it's hard to pair what you think would be a good combination. I bet if they had a few little combos ready for guests to pick it would help with decision making. But, for me.. it just makes we want to come back for more and try every combo out there.

YUM! What a great afternoon treat. I visited the Holy City Waffles truck on Sunday when it was parked outside Commonhouse Ale Works. They were very busy, and thus, had a longer wait. But I can say it was well worth it. They allow you to customize your "waffle pop" so I ordered their special of the day - the Cinnamon Roll - topped with some strawberry pieces. Delicious! My only complaint would be that the prices are a bit too high - $4 for one waffle stick/pop made me a little disappointed. Especially when these things are gone after 3 or 4 bites! read more

Buttermilk waffles, with many choices of toppings and drizzles, let you create your own custom flavors. I would find it nearly impossible to pass this truck without stopping. Definitely not anything that'll fill you up, because the waffle-sickle is quite small. The menu is all waffles. Love the focus of doing one thing, many ways and doing it well. read more

This food truck is one of the reasons I went to the 2nd battery food festival this year. I have been so excited to try it. The line was not long when I walked up to the truck. The menu was small but packed with delicious options. I was overwhelmed by all the goodness I was seeing. I was taking forever to decide and the line was moving quickly so I hastily decided on the fruity pebble waffle. The boy who took my order did not seem very thrilled to be there. The waffle was $6 which I feel is a bit much as the waffle was very small. But let's talk about taste. The waffle was covered in white chocolate, fruity pebbles and a fruit syrup. Oh my goodness. It blew my mind! Now I'm a huge waffle person. Waffles over pancakes any day. It also came out super warm so the chocolate and sauce were melting which made it even better. My only regret is not buying 2 waffles! I would give 4.5 stars if I could and the only reason I don't give it 5 is because, as I stated above, I feel like $6 was a bit much for the size. I will definitely be getting more waffles from here though! read more

She had an upbeat personality that stayed the same the entire experience. This establishment is definitely a location to check out if in the Charlotte area.

Our large outdoor-of-town group had different reservation slots during one of their busiest times (Sunday brunch , on a big game day!); we asked - with not much hope- to be seated together. Despite the obvious hurdles, the manager Lawrence graciously worked things out and was able to accommodate us. Our server Aaliah, was a gem! All her menu recommendations were 10/10! You absolutely have to give the spicy chicken waffle and the strawberry lemonade a try !! We will definitely be stopping by again whenever in Charlotte:)

Oh My Soul

Just a sweet little update for my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, if not the entire Southern East…read moreCoast. On every visit to Charlotte, I stop here 2-3 times, whether it's to meet up with friends and colleagues for lunch, to grab a quite bite before evening plans, to spend happy hours and dinners on that delightful back patio or to pick up that insane vegan dessert I've been craving. I mean, can it get any better than a spread of vegan elote corn, nachos smothered with beans, seitan, guac/queso/crema or my new favorite, the crunch wrap with a glass of something icy cold (I usually get a glass of something sparkling at the back bar). Since my last review almost 5 years ago, they sadly removed the matcha cruffin (that I still can't get out of my head!) and added in an entire display of sugary/spicy/chocolatey greatness (I'm still kicking myself for being too late on my way to the airport to get that lemon bar I'd been eying or the pumpkin BUNDT CAKE, ffs. What is wrong with me?) The sweetest owners, the loveliest staff from front counter to back bar to food runners and bussers. I adore Oh My Soul with every ounce of my being.

As many other reviewers have said, I really wanted to like this place but the overall experience…read morewas rough. Service was REALLY bad. You order and get your table number at the counter. Person taking our order was rude. Asked what he would recommend as a side given that we'd never been to the restaurant before. He just listed off all the sides and appeared annoyed by the question. We finished our order and he then cancels the tip screen and I didn't know why. He asks if I want a receipt and I say sure. Then I notice that they have an automatic "service charge" of 15% that isn't advertised anywhere in the restaurant. I'm not necessarily against restaurants doing this but it should be advertised. Also, you should have service if you're going to charge a "service charge." Our service consisted of a counter order and then someone who eventually brought out our food. Water was never even refilled. Vibe of everyone that worked there was angry and aggravated. Multiple people scowled at me walking through the dining room from the kitchen. One worker threw open the kitchen door obviously pissed about something. Everyone in the restaurant was waiting forever for their food and other tables would have one entree come out while the other person at the table waited another 15 minutes for their food. Food was nothing special. My wife liked her Mother Earth bowl which is why I'm giving two stars. My chicken sandwich was something out of a frozen box. Hush puppies and onion rings were standard. We only had water to drink. All of this cost us $54.20 total. Anymore this feels like a standard experience in an American restaurant unless you do someplace high end. Ok food, terrible value, terrible service, and junk fees. Like they're doing you a favor just being there. All of this for a restaurant that, as the walls show, is trying to convince you to become vegan. This won't do it guys. Do better if you really care about bringing people to your cause.

Jasmine served us promptly and efficiently, yet never made us feel rushed. Her timing was impeccable -- drinks arrived quickly, food was delivered seamlessly, and she checked in with us at just the right moments. She has outstanding menu knowledge and confidently guided us through recommendations, which turned out to be absolutely delicious! What truly made the experience stand out was her personality. When she asked what we were celebrating and we told her it was a girls' weekend, she lit up and made it feel special. She was friendly, personal, and engaging without ever losing her professionalism. It felt like we were being taken care of by someone who genuinely enjoys what she does. Jasmine is fast, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. She represents what exceptional service should look like and honestly should be the face of service at Fume. We left so happy -- the food was amazing, but Jasmine's service is what made the experience unforgettable. Five stars all around!

After, we ordered the food, there were plenty of tables. Since they just opened a few weeks ago, it is still super busy, as we were enjoying our drinks and sandwiches, the line keeps on growing and people keep on coming. The food was good, I love my chicken salad sandwich, the bread was perfectly toasted and it was great. My elder flower drink was delicious. I know all my friends enjoyed the food. The atmosphere here is beautiful and relaxing, I just felt like I just sit here and chat with friends forever. The service also excellent from the ordering, food delivery, and cleaning table, the staff was quick, friendly, and most importantly with a smile. The last part is the price, this is the part that it is really depends on your budget, it costs me about $35 per person to get a sandwich and a drink. Consider this is a counter order cafe, not a full sit down restaurant it is really high. But if you just order a drink and small dessert to have a great talk with friends, the price will be cheaper. I will come back when it calm down on the hype to see if they will remain the same level of service. But this place is really pretty and nice.

Given that it is 30 minutes to get through the long line if you want to eat there you will be paying at least $4.50. Second the prices overall are quite high. For a latte, breakfast wrap and a tea cake it was $30. Considering parking it cost even more. So this would only be a once every couple of months splurge for me. The space itself is nice, the service was pretty good. My favorite thing was the fluer de sel latte. The breakfast wrap was ok but very messy. The tea cake was a little dry and too sweet for me. The menu had many choices and the pastries in the case looked really good.

I know I made it look very pretty in my photos, but don't be fooled. Here is the complete review. We found the green tomatoes bland and appeared to have been frozen before being prepared. The "Gravy Train" with the mini biscuit was inedible. The gravy itself was OK. Nothing special, not one of the three were "great." But the mini biscuits were terrible, hard, dense chunks of dough. I ate one of them and discarded the rest. The "Chicken Ditch the Waffle" was equally terrible. Whatever they did to turn the biscuit into "fake" French toast is a 100% fail. They were as dense and unappealing as the mini biscuits. The chicken itself was fine. If I was only rating the chicken I'd probably give it a 3.5. The best dish was actually the "GOAT." It was served with a Standard biscuit which we thought was still too dense and dry. I recommend finding an independent restaurant that serves real, "from scratch" food. I should point out that the service crew in the dining room who delivered the food as well as provided cleanup and assistance, were exceptional. They were friendly, courteous, and focused on customer service. I'm sure they deserve more than they are being paid. It was obvious many of them were spanish-speaking immigrants. Not everyone in the restaurant treated them with the respect and gratitude they deserve. Here's the detail of our order from their menu.
