I've known about this spot for quite some time after I read an article from the SF Chronicle claiming they had the best chicken sandwich throughout the Bay Area. And just to turn it up a notch, the Chronicle also has them in the Top 25 Best Restaurants in Wine Country. I happened to be in Napa running some errands and decided to finally check them out. I met the owner who was pretty chill and friendly plus took my order. I was there for the chicken sandwich of course, but also wanted to try their Philly Cheesesteak sandwich I've seen on their menu. I also ordered some seasoned fries and a Mexican Sprite. The fries were nicely seasoned and crispy. The chicken had the perfect crisp to it and was juicy inside. The coleslaw inside gave the sandwich a nice tangy twist, while the hot honey had a nice balance of both sweet and spice. I did have a bit of a challenge attacking this since it was a huge sandwich, but I definitely liked it. The Cheesesteak was a bit messy (in a good way) but was a nice size for a full one; probably should have gotten a half one but oh well. The sliced steak was tender and juicy, while I also enjoyed the flavors of the cherry peppers and garlic mayo. Would definitely order this again. This was an experience I'm glad I finally had the opportunity to check out. Will go back hopefully soon to try some other items. read more

Wow! One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. Everything made fresh. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful. The fries were amazing, perfect and loved the Cajun spices on it. Service was fantastic and was super friendly. The location was awesome - super cute with a little table setting and cute decor. Very impressed with the overall set up and food of course. read more

I been trying different food trucks while I'm recovering from a knee replacement. I gave Joella's a try. I ordered the spicy chicken with fries. There fries are so good! 10/10, really enjoyed the sandwich but I am not a huge fan of chicken thighs. It was juicy and crispy. Definitely give them a try! read more

Philly cheesesteak! Omg. It's was amazing! Big enough for two people, maybe three. I like it with peppers on the side and add as I go. They aren't cutting any corners. It is a velvety, melt in your mouth delicious flavor. It's messy, it's heavy, and it's absolute perfection. I'm already planning my next trip back! Also, their ranch sauce is awesome. Something you might want to get a side of. read more

We love the food & the crew at Joella's Deli! Let's start with the fact that everything is fresh and made from scratch! Most restaurants use jars of pickles... well Ian starts with cucumbers and pickles them! The sandwich rolls are hand made and baked daily. Fresh chicken is hand breaded and fried to hot crispy perfection. His sauces are spicy and flavorful. Hard to choose, so we dip in all of them! One of the best things about Joella's Deli is the crew is like Family! They are respectful and kind, working hard with big smiles! Make plans or stop on a whim, but talk to them, hear the stories!!! read more

What a cute, and incredibly delicious place to grab and go! It's a small but mighty cart that has restaurant grade chicken sandos and then some. The people working the cart were fabulous and offered me a little sweet treat while I was waiting too. Going back with friends this week :) read more

While in Napa looking for some take away food and found Joella's Deli (food truck). We ordered their Chicken Tenders (4 stars) and Buffalo Chicken Wrap (5 stars). The tenders were very tasty and crispy but maybe a bit overcooked? The exterior was hard to bite into but once you chomped on it the flavors and tenderness came through. The wrap was huge and full of chicken with a decent amount of spice kick. Lots of veggie and sauce to make each bite scrumptious. The lady quickly took our order and prepared our items. Since this was a Food Truck (actually a trailer) there was no real seating area but the weather was nice so all good. read more

Small truck located in an somewhat uncommon location. I pass by this truck quite frequently while working however never have the time to stop. I was craving a sandwich after work one day and decided to give them a try. The fried chicken sandwich was so juicy and flavorful, nestled between a homemade bun and topped with slaw and homemade pickles. The cajun fries were lightly tossed with cajun seasoning and served with a sauce that I wish I would have asked for more of! They definitely know what they're doing here! read more

Everything was great. Portions great size children size great would recommend for sure ! We will be back.

I've eaten at Joella's since they opened and I can say without a doubt that this is the BEST food in the Napa valley. They have incredible food that changes frequently since the owner is really into local farm to table style cooking. The service is top tier every single time. Perla and Ian are so warm and welcoming and always do the best job preparing food and frequently hook it up with extra goodies for loyal customers. They sometimes have a table outside too where you can hang out in the shade and enjoy the food with friends when it's hot and fresh. I didn't add a picture here, but I've also hired Joella's for catering. We had some strict dietary restrictions for a party, gluten free and vegan. Ian made an incredible ratatouille, arugula salad with candied pistachios, and a corn and tomato salad that my toddler ate 5 servings of! If you need food for dinner or for a big event, Joella's is the place to go. read more

I just found the best fried chicken I've ever had, the chicken bites are sooooo crispy yet refreshing (I know, it doesn't make sense, I don't know how they did it) it doesn't feel greasy at all. The buffalo chicken wrap is humongous that can probably feed an entire family (two adult and one young kid ). They are so nice and friendly, the outside dining area is mini but nice and tidy. read more

A new (and popular) food truck near the Oxbow Public Market that does just a small handful of dishes, notably a fried chicken sandwich that got attention after raves from the San Francisco Chronicle. And the verdict... it's good. A bit too crunchy for me, coated with a great hot honey, and quite filling. Service is friendly, and there's substantial space to sit outside. Online ordering is available; the wait for me for food was about 10 minutes. read more

The chicken sammy is so well prepared & delicious. Perfectly crispy crust, moist and tender meat on an unexpected seeded bun with the most flavorful slaw & special sauce. On my list of places not to miss and so stealthy in delivering cuisine that the Bay Area is so well known for. Do not let the food trailer & location deter you from this foody delight. read more

Hands down best fried chicken experience I've have had in a long time. Chicken is fried to perfection and still so tender and juicy on the inside. Ranch was homemade deliciousness and the honey sauce had such a nice Smokey flavor. We got the sandwich, the bites and the buffalo ceasar wrap and needless to say very happy to have stumbled upon this truck read more

Soooooo.....it's been a while my fans but I am now alcohol free and ready to write some quality reviews. I've seen this trailer over by Storcks Garage a billion times and those who know the neighborhood probably know why I go down there and it ain't for gettin my car fixed. However I have never seen it open. Strange thing, Killa B was just mentioning yesterday how she was jonesin' for some fried chicken and I said there is a trailer over there but I dont know if they are ever open. Well, today is Saturday and I drove by and voila! They were open. Thought I would treat Killa B to some form of fried fowl. Dang Im glad I did on two levels. So I walk up and I look at the fryers immediately and they are pristine, not only on the inside, but the outside so I know these folks mean business. They got a variety of cool stuff including fried pickles but im there for the stuff that flies around. I spot the chicken sandwich and let the gentleman at the front know. He let me know it would be about a 15 minute wait as they weren't open yet. I, unfortunately as stated before am dealing with coming down from being a drinker for 1000 years so my patience is'nt there yet. I told him I would be back and I could tell he know I was full of it. This is the first level. I look in my side view and guy is walking to my car. He says, "Hey I can have it done in like 6 mins if you want to come back". How could I deny a man like that. I went and ran an errand real quick and came back and ordered my chicken sandwich. He told me I was a man of my word (what Im getting at here is I want him to remember me and I want him to know how much I appreciated what he did for me) and I told him I would never lie to him. Several minutes later, he made the offering of the biggest piece of chicken he had. I didn't look at it as it was a present for Killa B and thanked him very much and told him I would be back. Level 2. Got home and gave it to Killa B. Her eyes were wide as she bit into this GIANT chicken sandwich. Spicy? Yes. Delicious, oh my goodness yes. I even had a bite and im protesting food right now. It is really delicious. Probably best in town. Killa B happy + Damn good chicken sandwich + plus im going to assume owner that goes out of his way to make folks happy in this town = SUCCESS! I should have got your name my friend but I will definately be back....I want to try them fried pickles. read more

Ordered the chicken nuggets. Chicken pieces were fried well, juicy inside and crispy outside. Good portion size too! Only thing is the breading is a bit too thick for my liking, but that is a personal preference. Sauces elevated the crispy chicken. Both hot honey and hot sauce are delicious, and the consistency of the sauce is thick enough to coat the nugget but light to the taste. The owners are super friendly. read more

I'm already dreaming about my next fried chicken sandwich. I've had a couple in the past, along with their wrap, but something about the sandwich I had last night was just extra. So good. It's 9:51am and I want one for breakfast. read more

I ordered from here on DoorDash and was super excited to try it. It smelled delicious! The butternut squash salad was absolutely perfect. I also got the chicken bites which looked a little questionable but tasted great. The sauces are where they shine! I wanted to douse everything in that hot sauce. I will definitely be back to try more. read more

This was maybe the best chicken sando I have ever had. Ratio of chicken to waffle was spot on and the dipping sauces.......WOW is all I can say. I regret not going here sooner and can't wait until we go again. read more

I've had the whole menu at Joelle's, and every item is delicious! The fried chicken sando lives up to the hype, but the meatball parm sub and chilaquiles sando (double carb FTW--great job, Perla) are also super craveable. Soups and salads change with the seasons ensuring a delicious outcome with the best ingredients. Ian, the owner, is friendly and welcoming! If you are able to pick up your order, just give them a call in advance to place your order to save you time and it helps them save on online platform fees. For folks coming up from outside Napa, the truck is conveniently parked outside the Hollywood Room now so you can take advantage of the seating there and also enjoy a drink with your tasty food from Joella's. Also ask them about their secret menu options: so far I've tried the chili cheese fries and the chicken parm. Super good! read more

Joella's Deli - Chicken sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me - Napa, California

The hype is real!! This food truck's chicken sandwich is huge and delicious!! The chicken was nicely marinated, well seasoned and very tender. The crust was still crunchy even after a 20 min commute and the combination of pickles,slaw, slightly sweet/spicy sauce and fluffy house made bun made for a towering bite of yum! The nuggets were just as crunchy and tender as the chicken sandwich and served with house ranch and sweet/spicy sauce. The elote corn soup was on the sweeter side but still delicious especially when you add all the condiments (tortilla strips, cotija, lime wedge) The only item I didn't particularly enjoy was the meatball sandwich, it was just aight. Nothing about it seemed thought through or special. How about some fresh basil? What if we made the meatballs differently? Just saying.. Anyway, I just found our new go to chicken place and you can order ahead of time off of their website to minimize your wait time at their truck site. They change their menu often so it's worth a visit! read more
