It's also conveniently right off the crosswalk from the Inman Park MARTA station - don't bother looking for parking as there is very little. You can also walk to the festival using the Beltline.

Make sure to bring plenty of filtered water or stick with beer. This is a must-attend show.

Since the 1970's, The Inman Park Festival is something of an Atlanta tradition. There's a tour of homes, a 5k run, a parade, and (of course) a big street market featuring all sorts of colorful, local arts and crafts, beauty & skin care, foods and spices, home accessories, woodworking and ceramics... This year, I picked up a few items to gift to my friends. There are hosts of things to try and do, including activities for kids, and a really cool Dance Festival where you'll see stellar dance expositions from Atlanta's best dance companies. The food scene is pretty much what you'd expect. All the standard offerings from frozen lemonade to corn dogs, funnel cakes to pretzels, all the "regulars" are there. Sometimes I wonder if there will ever be a way to make the street-fair food scene innovative and not just regular. Still, this is among Atlanta's best run, and well-organized Festivals. See you there next year.

Plan to spend at least $8 for lunch. My usual go to trucks are Mix'd Burgers, Seven Seas and Gekko isn't too bad either. What I like: Mix'd Up: Rockin Hero burger with extra Tzatziki sauce. (Lamb burger) $8.00. Mix'd Up : Sante Fe burger. Which is a black bean burger for the Veg heads or if you just love black beans like I do. $7 or $8....cant remember. It's only a dollar, go ahead....splurge a little. Lol Moving on...... Seven Seas: lamb gryro with loaded fries. It's worth every $12. The fries are loaded with feta and tzatziki sauce. Other than this.....like ordering from here Especially when I get to see the Owner's dreamy eyes. He's so handsome! (I can dream, right?) Gekko: Only been once. I tried a shrimp teriyaki bento box. It was filling and I think I spent somewhere between $12 to $15. Will probably try again one day. Well that's my long awaited review of Food Truck Thursday corner of 12th Street & Peachtree Street. Landmarks are STK restaurant and Bank of America...and obviously you shouldnt miss the Food Trucks.

If you don't want to spend most of your lunch hour standing in line, best time to go is 11:00 - and…read moreI heard after 1:00. We arrived today just after 11, and the line for Yumbii was reasonable and there were almost no lines at the other food trucks. Last week, we arrived after 11:30 and the lines were miserably long - at least 30-40 minutes for Sweet Auburn BBQ just to place an order, and then maybe another 10-15 minutes for the food. Honestly, the food wasn't worth the wait. I guess there's this expectation that street food is supposed to be unique - something I can't find at the everyday restaurant. And isn't street food supposed to be cheap - like average $5. But I still made the decision to try Sweet Auburn BBQ b/c I was so drawn to the smell of smoking meat. And maybe psychologically I was drawn b/c it had the 2nd longest line so maybe the food is really good. I got the $8 plate which included choice of meat, side, and Texas Toast - I decided on the beef brisket (ok) and the jicama & Asian pear slaw (good). Texas Toast was more like Texas bread - thick but not toasted, and plain w/ no garlic butter :( I tried my friend's salad w/ BBQ chicken - pretty good but nothing special either. If you're looking for a more authentic street food experience, your time might be better spent waiting in line for the other food trucks. So today, I finally had my first Yumbii - and it will not be my last :) My favorite was the sesame fries esp. the chipotle ketchup. The fries are dusted w/ salt & chili flakes, and you can taste a hint of the sesame oil - it really works! Fries are $3 and the portion is enough for 2 ppl. Yumbii tacos are $2 and $3. I had 2 tacos which was plenty - they are deceivingly filling! I enjoyed the fish taco ($3) which was surprisingly 1 big piece of fish (vs. the usual 2-3 tiny pieces you get at other places). I wasn't a fan of the spicy pulled pork taco ($2) - it was spicier than expected and dripping with oil :( And like week #1, we got a King of Pops to enjoy on our walk back to work. I tried the Mojito this time which was nice & refreshing - my only complaint is that all the herbs sank to the bottom of the popsicle which probably can't be helped. I'll just have to come up with a more creative way of solving that problem :) Overall I'm still giving 5 stars b/c I'm a huge fan of street food.

It was delicious, juicy, and definitely spicy! The owner was very friendly and funny and made the experience while waiting on our food that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend trying these pups out.

I attended the Atlanta BBQ Festival on Friday, August 15, 2014. This is the sixth year of the…read moreannual festival, which has recently been held in Atlantic Station (second year in Atlantic Station I believe) and Turner Field before that. The festival is organized by the Atlanta BBQ Club and is an officially sanctioned event of the Kansas City BBQ Society. General admission tickets were $6 in advance and $10 at the door. When you check-in, you're given a wristband which allows you access to the grounds. The festival is held in the special events area in Atlantic Station. This is the big, open, outdoor area behind the retail district where other festivals and Cirque du Soleil are held. You can see it from the highway. The best place to park is Atlantic Station's parking garage where the first two hours are free. I enjoyed myself at the festival, but I also knew what to expect after reading reviews about the 2013 festival. Unlike an event such as Taste of Atlanta, where tickets gain you both admission to the event *and* food samples, the Atlanta BBQ Festival's tickets do not include any food. The food must be purchased separately. There were over 60 tents set up. The BBQ tents were either designated with a blue flag (BBQ competitor) or red flag (BBQ vendor). Most of the tents were competitors. When I went (Friday evening), the competitors had no food samples. The program said competitors would offer $2 wings on Friday and $1 pulled pork samples on Saturday. Since the competitors weren't offering any samples, we were left trying the vendors' food. I don't think the vendors were actually competing in the festival. They were just there to sell food. Vendors present included Bone Lick, Hottie Hawg's, Five Star, Pit Boss, JD's, Jim 'N Nick's, Sonny's, and Williamson Bros. I'm a fan of some of these restaurants (e.g. Bone Lick and Williamson Bros.), but some of metro Atlanta's best were noticeably absent. These included Heirloom Market, Fox Bros, Community Q, Dave Poe's, and Sam's BBQ 1. In a sense, our experience was like paying to get access to a food truck park to buy food from the food trucks. There were a handful of promotional tents handing out free stuff. The best one was the Keurig tent. They were giving away free iced beverages from iced coffee to acai berry juice. These were the perfect refreshments for a hot summer day. It was very easy to get filled up here because the vendors were offering not only samples, but full-sized portions as well. As a result, I only got to try a couple different vendors: Hottie Hawg's and Jim 'N Nicks. Here's a quick rundown of what I tried: Hottie Hawg's: St. Louis ribs Kashmir Kurry wings Corn on the cob Coca-Cola collards Jim 'N Nick's: Two bone spare ribs Half ear of corn Sweet pickles Pork 'n grits The BBQ was great. I liked both the ribs from Hottie Hawg's and the ribs from Jim 'N Nicks. I'd been to Jim 'N Nicks before, but not Hottie Hawg's. After trying the BBQ from Hottie Hawg's, I want to go check out their main restaurant now. The ribs ($2 for two) from Hottie Hawg's were thick and moist. The sauce was delicious. The Kashmir Kurry wings ($1 each) were sweet and very spicy. My mouth was on fire and I actually shed a tear from the heat those wings brought. The corn on the cob had a little kick to it as well, thanks to a dusting of cayenne pepper. The Coca-Cola collards were tasty, though I'm not sure I could really taste the Coke flavor in them. The Jim 'N Nick's ribs were comparatively tougher/leaner, but still tender and flavorful. They were satisfying as was the half ear of corn. The tart and sweet pickles were a nice contrast to all the savory, meaty flavors. It was $6 for the whole set. The pork 'n grits ($4) were very good. This small tray consisted of pulled BBQ pork over buttery grits. The BBQ sauce from the pork oozed into the grits. Credit cards were accepted at some of the vendors such as Jim 'N Nicks. However, competitor tents were cash only. Aside from the BBQ and promotional tents, there was a main tent for dining. Near this tent was the music stage (live music throughout the festival), cooking stage (cooking demonstrations), and kids' area/playground. There is free water at the event, but it amounts to two containers on a table with a stack of small plastic cups. One of the containers dispensed unpleasantly warm/hot water. Restrooms were porta-potties. As a general admission festival goer, I'm not sure I would return to the Atlanta BBQ Festival. I would rather just go to one of the vendors' actual restaurants and have a nice sit-down meal inside. If you've never been to the festival and like BBQ, it's worth checking out once. Plus, it's hard to resist the mouthwatering smell of all that smoky BBQ as it wafts its way through Atlantic Station!

Overall fun event with BBQ vendors everywhere. Only a few recognizable names; guessing the rest…read morewere competitors who do BBQ for a hobby. I thought the $6 admission price would cover food but it just gets you thru the front gates. Most vendors offered $1 samples which only filled one of those tiny plastic sample cups. Lines were long so I'd ask the folks eating their samples if the line was worth it. We didn't get through much b/c it was so hot outside I thought I was going to have heat exhaustion. Wish these events would be held during cooler weather but as my friend said, BBQ isn't BBQ if it's not in the hot summer. We did have Pit Boss BBQ's pulled pork b/c I love their Hapeville location. We also got some free BBQ from one of the competitors who was generous enough to share their leftovers - their brisket tacos were delicious. One advice for event organizers - your ticket lines were super disorganized. There were two long lines and after we finally made it to the front, they said the line was for people who needed to buy tickets and we needed to go to the other line if we had tickets. Neither line had any signage, and no one was making announcements that the two lines were different. We saw many go thru our same experience. Super frustrating and didn't provide a good first impression of the event. Hoping next year they fix this.
