Roaming Fork One of the original food trucks to start the food truck scene in Charlotte NC, Roaming Fork Food Truck is offering some delicious eats. I just happen to be working in the area where Roaming Fork sets up on Thursdays out in Ballantyne and was able to grab some tasty lunch. The menu is varied and even has an Asian flare! I went with the recommendation of the cashier. I got the Porky Cheesy and the Truffle fries. The grill cheese had a good crunch and a good amount of filling. I love anytime you mix bbq pork and cheese and this didn't disappoint. The truffle fries get squirted with truffle oil after they come out the grease and have an amazing aroma. I liked the flavor but I love fries with a condiment so I felt like the fries could have used some ranch dipping sauce. The menu has a lot of items I would like to try. Hopefully I'm back in the area where they are located and can give them another try soon. Roaming Fork Thursday October 24, 2019 1pm read more

This food truck was at the Run Ballantyne event this morning and I am so glad I stopped by! Their breakfast menu included some muffins and sandwiches...but the real winner of the menu: SWEET POTATO TATER TOTS. The staff even gave me a container of syrup to dip in, and it was delicious. My friend got the pork belly sandwich and Parmesan fries. She said the sandwich was amazing, and the fries were good, but my tater tots wee better. read more

Wow. Can I say amazing fish tacos? I got the blackened fish tacos at the Roaming Fork the other day and they were delicious. I didn't even miss the typical 'fried fish' in fish tacos. And the fish tacos at Phat Burrito paled in comparison. The Roaming Fork taco was stuffed with fish, lettuce and grilled corn salsa. It tasted fresh and remarkably creamy (combination of corn and some sour cream). The 2 tacos come with their signature parmesan fries. I have no idea how they managed to perfectly coat each fry (even though I was the first order of the night!) but they did. The fries are relatively thick cut If you saw a crazy person trying to balance a to-go container while eating fries down Tryon, that was probably me. If I happen to track down this truck again, I'd be tempted just to buy a whole serving of fries. Service here is friendly and at regular speed. The serving size is larger than that of TIn Kitchen's. So I'm going to have to give Roaming Fork the one up this time--I still recommend trying both for the variety of flavors. read more

Loooooovvve Roaming Fork. This food truck stops by my job every know and then and they are so delicious! My favorite thing on are the Parmesan truffle fries. Those fries are on my top ten list of comfort foods. This visit, I enjoyed shrimp tacos with parmesan truffle fries and chicken and veggie potstickers. Yes I'm greedy. The shrimp in the tacos was 'blackened' but not so 'blackened' that you get like you were eating burnt meat; just grilled to perfection . There was an interesting mango salsa on the taco that was also pretty tasty . I like the spicy bbq sauce they have as a condiment on the truck , I dipped my fries in this as well as a thousand island based ( I think) dressing that came with my entree. The potstickers came with an awesome dipping sauce as well. So saucy. So good :-) read more

I am officially becoming a Roaming Fork Groupie, which can't be good for my waistline. Every Thursday I make it a point to visit for lunch. A couple of things have changed, so it's a good time for an update. Since my initial visits, I've tried more dishes. The fried deviled eggs are good, but they really need the mustard sauce with each bite to add some tang. I've also had a chance to try the pamesan herbed fries, which were crispy and hot. The parmesan added just the right amount of flavor and salt. Finally, I've had a chance to try the famous blackened fish tacos. Here's the thing: I'm not a huge fish taco fan. Everyone raved about them, so I tried them, and I recognize that they are an excellent version of a fish taco... But that's not my favorite kind of food. If you like fish tacos, you'll almost certainly love these. What IS my kind of food? Well, the grilled cheese, as my previous review made clear. The past few visits, they've started offering the option of pulled pork on the grilled cheese. Oh. My. God. They took my two favorite sandwiches, and combined them into one. I think about that pulled pork grilled cheese - a lot. Usually when I'm eating a salad. Their grilled cheese sandwiches will keep me coming back for more, for a long time. Particularly if they keep offering pork with them! The last two trips out to Ballantyne, I've also noticed that they have an "expediter" managing orders at the window. Last week, she wasn't wearing a Roaming Fork t-shirt, and people thought she was waiting in line. This week there was a really engaged woman in a RF t-shirt greeting everyone who showed up right away. She did a great job, and I think the addition of someone to manage the orders on the front end, while they work on getting them put together inside the truck is a great one. There will be many more visits from me! All of the food is great, the people are so nice, seek them out and you won't be disappointed! read more

I had Roaming Fork food truck at Food Truck Friday for the second time I also had it when they catered my good friend @harrisdudley dad's 60th birthday and instantly became a fan. I got daily special that was the adobe habanero coffe Latino mojo pork w/ yellow rice, roasted corn, red pepper, lettuce, chipotle aioli, pickled onion, cilantro, and bacon with parmesan truffle fries. read more

Wow.... I just had another grilled cheese & tomato sandwich -mmm, mmm good! This time, the tomato was much more substantial and added good flavor and texture. The other Yelpers are right about this food - it leaves you craving for it again a day or two later. It's a good thing that they only come to Ballantyne Corporate Park once a week so that I don't over-indulge! (I'd hate to see the calorie count for the grilled cheese sandwich and a side of those wonderful parmesan-truffle fries!) But, the major down-side to going for lunch is that it usually takes about 30 mins to get my order prepared. (There always seems to be a line when I go by!) In 90 degree heat (while dressed for the office) with little to no shade around, waiting for your lunch outdoors becomes rather uncomfortable. However, I think they are trying to reduce the wait-times, because today they had a third person with them - to take orders and payments so now Kelli along with Darryl can totally focus on preparing the food. read more

Officially joining Cat R. as a Roaming Fork Groupie. There's something really special about Roaming Fork, and it's the details and Kelly the owner who is fabulous and passion oozes from her body when talking and making and dishing out her food. Yeah, yeah, parmesan truffle fries. But these...are so wickedly crispy (oh I just showed my Boston roots) they put most other shames in the QC to shame. Seriously. Her deep fried deviled eggs and pimento cheese balls are crispy and different, and having a nice side of roasted honey broccoli and carrots is a nice departure from cole slaw. You can also get sides like watermelon in the summer, or house-made kimchee cucumbers (albeit not traditional and buried and fermented in the ground...but hey, it's a tasty accompaniment.) I also like how her prices really are reasonable. For $8 you can get something like two fish tacos, a side and a drink. TIP: Check out the website http://www.roamingfork.net/ for a complete calendar. This is ultra convenient with maps and every single place the truck will be parked. read more

Hey hey...I haven't reviewed Roaming Fork yet? What the fork?! I love this food truck. Not only do they spin out a great grilled cheese, tasty tacos, hearty meatloaf sandwich, intriguing fried deviled egg, but they also make deeelightful parmesan herb fries. I'm more than happy to devour these while in my chunky train headed to obese city. The eats are affordable, the owner and the folks who create these delicious bites are incredibly friendly and in it to make people smile. Get yourself some Roaming Fork! read more

Roaming Fork is by far the best food truck I've tried in the QC. The signature item is their fish tacos, which are especially delicious in the winter when Kelly makes em with a mango salsa. The summer version with the corn salsa are quite scrumptious also. The truck is in Ballantyne every Thurs so this is a weekly thing for me. The smoked meatloaf sandwich is bomb-diggity and the garlic-parmeson fries are a must. Several co-workers have told me the "porky-cheesy" is where it's at, but I can't vouch for it since I haven't tried it (pulled pork that her husbands smokes for 12 hrs in a grilled cheese sammich) Great bang for the buck - go get you some. read more

Have you ever had FRIED Deviled Eggs? Me either. My advice to you...TRY THEM!

I'm telling you this place is so FANTASTIC that I'm going back tomorrow! Come join me... read more

I waited in line forevvvvvvver for this truck!! I mean, half of the night! When it was finally by turn, they were out of what I was hoping for all day long, the burrito. I was really depressed to hear this news. they were also out of fries, but subbed chicken wings instead. The girl taking orders was really nice and accommodating so that gives them the extra star and I decided to stay after talking to her. I ordered the sliders and they were very good. The wings, on the other hand, were not! They were honestly some of the worst wings I've had. My friend agreed and even tried giving me some of hers, that I declined to take. They were not crispy, although requested. They were slimy inside and had no seasoning before being cooked. Or at least it didn't taste that way!! I was really disappointed. read more

I have been chasing the food trucks all around Charlotte and thankfully Roaming and Cupcake Delirium do their own mini rally in plaza midwood on Fridays and I can usually catch them after work for fish tacos and 3 cheese grilled cheese with chicken....great, great stuff on those trucks! Looking forward to trying more goodies! read more

I've never posted to Yelp before, but these guys were so good I just felt compelled to share my thoughts. Their prices and courteous service, both huge positives, pale in comparison to the fish tacos and Parmesan/truffle fries. My heavens, those fries! Thumbs up from me and my 7 and 4 year olds. I'm following Roaming Fork on Twitter now, but I believe I'll be following them just about everywhere and anywhere else, too . read more

Food quality is excellent. Tried this truck tonight at a Town of Matthews event for the Charlotte Symphony. Gourmet menu, but not too crazy. I tried fish tacos and truffled fries for $9. My dining companions had a cheeseburger and fancy grilled cheese. I like that they offer the option of fries, chips, or fruit for the side item. Excellent fries, perfectly cooked. Tacos had flavor, but they are small and you only get two. My husband was happy with his burger. I'd definitely eat at this truck again. read more

Stopped by for a bite with the wife tonight. Oh man, we tried the smoked meatloaf sandwich. Yum! They also had a new sandwich, bbq chicken on cruchy sourdough. Again, yum! If I could give these guys 6 stars it wouldn't be enough. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

I think I have managed to have everything on the Roaming Fork's menu now and I have to say there's a lot going on here! Every Thursday or something like that it parks around the Morrison offices that I am usually doing some sort of work around so that makes it a convenient lunch stop for sure. They manage to score a lot of hits and a few misses with their menu, though I wish they'd change it up a bit sometimes. Onto the food let's start with that fried deviled egg, good but I think I prefer regular deviled eggs. The creaminess gets a bit lost for me in the fried outer shell and the texture wasn't appealing to me though some of my friends love it. Parmesan truffle herb fries? Crispy, hot, crunchy. First thing Shauna and I said as we ate them, needs a sauce desperately (other than ketchup). I can't taste too much truffle oil which is a good thing because I don't care for it too much. Cole slaw omg creamy dreamy deliciousness. I must figure out what's in it! Fish Tacos, I gotta say best fish tacos I've had in Charlotte so far. Yeah I went there. Big generous hunks of blackened whitefish bursting with flavor, and the corn salsa with mango gives it a nice sweet and salty flavor. Grilled cheese/stuffed with pulled pork. Yummy, could feel my arteries clogging up with every buttery cheesy porky bite. I think If you put some jam or compote to add some acid to cut some of the fattiness in this it would be a winner. Chicken wings are super tender and almost fall apart in your mouth. Great smokiness and BBQ is awesomesauce. I must have more of these. So now you've reached the end of my highly scientific dissertation on the various dishes of the Roaming Fork. Mosey on over there and treat yourself to a nice helping of deliciousness! They accept plastic too for your convenience! read more

The Roaming Fork comes to Brixham Tent every Thursday. I've been wanting to try it since I began working in the area, however, I'd been hooked on the other truck that comes the same day. But since I had seafood all week, I wanted something different. The truck is always busy. However, there is a lady standing right in front of it taking orders so the cooks are not disturbed, which means food gets done quickly. I placed my order, 12 Hour Hickory Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich w/Pickled Onion & Butter Pickles, Add Cheese & BBQ Sauce (you add the sauce your self, they have regular or spicy), and a side of the Parmesan Herb White Truffle French Fries. I asked if she had the Fried Deviled Eggs & she said not this week, but she'd have them next week since I was the 2nd person to ask for them. I can't really eat the yolk of eggs anymore, I developed an intolerance for them during a diet. But I wanted to try these so bad after hearing so many great reviews on them that I was willing to suffer the stomach ache after for a bite lol. It was BLAZING hot out so I stood under a tree for shade as I waited for my order. I saw just about everyone grabbing a drink out the cooler & thought they must've all added a drink to their order. About 8 minutes later, which felt like 20 I'm that heat, they called my name to pickup my order. I added sauce to my sandwich and ketchup for my fries and headed back to my office to eat. At first glance I was disappointed in my sandwich. I asked if they could add cheese since it doesn't typically come with cheese, she asked the cook who said yes. So I was confused when I saw cold shredded cheddar cheese on my sandwich. Did they really think this was acceptable?? They could have at least warmed the sandwich a bit to melt the cheese or told me no cheese! Who wants cold shredded cheese on their warm sandwich??? So they lost half a star for this. I went to the microwave and melted the cheese myself. But I'm hard to please when it comes to BBQ because in my opinion, there's no BBQ better than the BBQ in Lexington NC. I usually don't even try others BBQ because of this. I don't EVER dare add cheese to that BBQ, but I'm glad I did with Roaming Fork. It added another layer of flavor which I felt the sandwich needed. The BBQ alone was really good though as well as the portion, not the bang I'm used to but probably the only BBQ I've had outside of Lexington that I actually liked. So that says a lot, trust me!!! It wasn't dry and was nice and tender and the smokey flavor really came through. The fries stole the show!! So crisp!! I was impressed because I hate takeout fries because they get soggy in the box, but not these!! Sooo much flavor for a fry! I was a little disappointed with the portion of fries I got though. I looked under the sandwich to see if there were more, but nope, that half a cup was all there was lol. That was the other half star they lost. Can I get a few more fries please?? All in all I enjoyed my food so much that I went back before they closed to order the same thing for my dinner tonight. This time I asked how much for a drink and I was told it came with the meal. It's probably a good idea to tell people this when they place their order. You never know who is new or not. But I told her I didn't get mine earlier and she let me get 2. They also gave me a small container to put sauce in since I would be eating this plate later. Next time I head downstairs to try them I have a few other things on their menu that I'd like to try. I heard just about everything was good and after that sandwich I'm not nervous about venturing out with them. Now they have me wanting to make a trip home for some good ole Lexington BBQ! Thanks for reminding me of home! read more

Oh, Roaming Fork. I am simultaneously happy and not so happy that I discovered you during Yelp's Passport to NoDa event. Everything I tried, from the fish tacos, to the grilled cheese, to the parmesan herb fries were fantastic. And this is coming from someone who refuses to eat "street food." I still salivate when thinking about the fish tacos. And oh those fries. I cannot wait to devour them again. Thank you for having such great food at affordable prices and for serving it with a smile. You were beyond packed at the event but kept the pace going and we didn't have to wait long for our dinner. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. read more

Thursdays are my favorite days of the work-week now thanks to Roaming Fork. This food truck makes a weekly trek to the corporate park where I work in yuppie-town (Ballantyne) every Thursday to serve up the deliciousness. They open up the window at 11 and it's slammed throughout lunch time. The secret is out! There are all kinds of good things on the menu, and it changes frequently. I have tried several of the items and have always been happy. You'll find burgers, chicken, fish, barbecue, and probably other things that I haven't even noticed yet. The fish tacos are the most popular item and for good reason. They do 'em up right with the cabbage and the corn salsa. There are tasty sides as well. The truffle fries are darn good but I tend towards the lighter side for lunch and prefer the couscous or the tomato cucumber salad. This is about the best lunch you can get for under 10 bucks, and you feel good about eating it because the folks are nice and the food is awesome. And you gotta love supporting the local food truck scene! Keep it up, Roaming Fork read more

Stopped by this food truck when it was down in Ballantyne and was not as impressed as I had hoped. The guy in front of us was raving about the fish tacos and, to be honest, the fish tacos were mediocre at best. Overall, decent food, but not worth the prices. Did not live up to the hype. read more

OK...today I had my first ever fish taco! And goodness, now I know what I have been missing. At least what I have been missing from the Roaming Fork truck situated perfectly downtown today so I could hop out of my car...and be in line in less than a minute! The flavors of the blackened fish taco were simply amazing. The heat of the spices, lightly chilled by a little sour cream, with lettuce and a SW type relish made it so so very tasty. And to support those two great soft tacos...I had to have some cheese fries...no, not the velveeta variety ...but nicely fried shoestring potatoes with garlic parmesan sprinkled all over them. They were so good that as I walked past one of Charlotte's finest...I had to offer her some!! It was nice to share some goodness with someone who had only moments before [serving and protecting], kept me from stepping in front of a moving vehicle as I raced to get my Roaming lunch!!! So...it is 9:00 PM on a Sat night....where is the truck tomorrow? Gotta have more fish tacos!!! read more

For the love of God ... why did it take sooo long for me to try this! I finally got around to catching up with the truck during my lunch break. I was a little leery of ordering the fish tacos and I didn't want to be disappointed from it being so hyped...but I ordered anyway and they definitely exceeded my expectations. I plan to go again and again and again and each time get something different as everything on the menu looks bomb. Get there early, there will be a line! If not, don't fret, it's sooo worth the wait! read more

Favorite food truck. Hands down. I need to stalk them more... OK, lets hop into it. First time I've had the pleasure of their cuisine was at Food Truck Fridays. They were out of a lot of the menu items as we arrived quite late. I ordered the Ooey Gooey Grilled Cheese and my friend got the Porky Sandwich, made with pickles and onions. Let it be known, here and now, the best grilled cheese has always come on thick, crunchy slices of sourdough bread so I was in love when I opened my box and found exactly that. The sandwich was large and ooey gooey is right... it was shoved full of melted cheese and I was in heaven. Best part? I'm use to food trucks being a bit more pricey for one item but this sandwich also came with a side of parmesan herb fries which in one word is amazeballs. I bite heavily into my friend's pork sandwich (hey, we traded for a sample... I wasn't hijacking his food) and it was juicy and dripping with sauce. Another thumbs up for RF. I was quite satisfied after my meal and checked out their menu for future yummy evenings. Still need to sample oversized pork mac pimento cheese balls and have also heard the fish tacos are the best thing on the menu - can't believe I haven't had them yet as I love tacos and am a huge seafood fan - but I'm addicted to that grilled cheese and parmesan fries combo. Roaming Fork hasn't been at Food Truck Fridays lately (ummm come back) but I plan to make it a point to find them quite soon and indulge! read more

The food here leaves you feeling all warm and comforted inside. Great friendly service. Super delicious grilled cheese! Definitely add the pulled pork to make it even more over the top good. And who would have thought that fried deviled eggs could be so filling and good? A must try. read more

As Julia M says the grilled cheese and tomato sandwich is heavenly! I am clearly not putting enough cheese in my at home version! I also like that they are not skimpy on their tomato slice- it's nice and thick. The Parmesan fries are good but need a nice dipping sauce- perhaps some herb aioli or even some ranch. I loved the deep fried deviled egg (it was sold out this last time) but I still remember it from the yelpy even way back. read more

Roaming Fork is taking the typical food truck fare and upping the game. With options like smoked pulled pork and wings, parmesean herb fries and fried deviled eggs it is easy to get your hopes way up and on the whole Roaming Fork delivers. I was a big fan off the meats. Both the pork and chicken were well seasoned and delicious. I'm not usually a boned wings fan and even I might be coerced into an order or two. The sides were less spot on for me but still good. The fries were thin and their relationship to the parmesan was less "coated in" and more "sitting in a pile of". Still, the flavor was good and with a little assembly they went to the face. The fried deviled egg was actually s coated fried egg salad, which is in and of itself cool. But don't promise me a fried deviled egg unless that thing has a center that looks like a party at my tacky aunts. I don't mess around with deviled eggs. Next time I see the Roaming Fork truck around town I'll be pulling over to grab a bite; this bistro on wheels has some tasty treats. read more

Delicious and fresh! Ate here at a real estate showing so was able to try a few different dishes. The Porky Cheesy was so yummy - I took out the pepper jack cheese as I didn't want it too heavy (lol). The Korean Chicken Tacos were pretty good, very Americanized but still tasty. The Fried Shrimp Tacos were nice and light - really liked the breading on the shrimp. We got the brussel sprouts and truffle fries for sides and all were super good! Will definitely be returning next time we come across the truck! read more

Blackened Shrimp Tacos were fresh, flavorful and my new favorite. Tacos were a nice sized portion as there were at least 5 shrimp per taco with the right amount of kick (not too spicy) and the perfect amount of crunch from the slaw on-top of it. Of course the Parmesan truffle fries speak for themselves - YUM! Oh and the price was good too. A MUST TRY! read more

This is the best food truck in Charlotte. The owner Kelli is very friendly and gets to know her customers by name. She even knows my order when I walk up which makes me feel valued as a customer. I have frequented the truck once a week for over two years when the truck comes by my job. Her food has helped me lose 118 pounds. I enjoy the fish tacos and my new favorite is the blackened salmon sandwich. I typically have the sauces that are more caloric removed or placed on the side. If requested she will also replace bread with more lettuce. The food is fresh and flavorful and I recommend that you give it a try! Another good plus is her sanitation rating is a 98! read more

NIce!!! Roaming Fork was parked at The New Belgium Clips and Sips on Friday. So glad they were. The fish tacos were just plain great (way better than Cabo Taco-sorry) - the fish was still moist, and flavorful. The famed Parmesan Fries were indeed killer. Also tried the Porky Cheesy grilled cheese with pulled pork = yum= smokey, meaty, buttery, crispy all simultaneously. Again, nice!! If I happen upon them again, I'm down for the meatloaf taco!!!
