I didn't know or think that Cook Out was in Atlanta until we were driving past a place and they didn't have parking so my friend suggested Cook Out. I was so excited. When we walked in it was a bit overwhelming because of the many varieties and options they have. When we walked up to the counter the lady greeted us and gave us the run down of how to order. The inside looked like the average fast food place. Only thing I could say was the floors were very slippery. I ordered the tray with a Cheeseburger with onions and mayo, Cajun fries, white cheddar bites, chicken nuggets and a drink. The Cheeseburger was very good and made how I asked, The fries were good with the seasoning on it. The White Cheddar Bites were my favorite and I could have gotten 7 more of those. The Chicken nuggets werent my favorite at all. Overal I am a huge fan of Cook Out now. The pricing blew me away as it was so affordable. I will be going back to Cook Out when I go to another southern state as I have to have my White cheddar Bites again.

Most times there's one or two things to choose and they're usually sandwiches. It feels kind of like a Top Chef competition. The chefs prepare something special for the day that's not on their normal menu. One week Empire State South was set-up and I had one of the best fried pork sandwiches, ever. In hindsight I don't think I've had such a thing since I was in high school, so that isn't a very fair comparison. Today the chef from The Hungry Peach was there. I opted for the barbecue pork sandwich combo, which came with some sort of mini peach dessert and a big cup of lemon tea (or something like it) for only $7. They also had pimento cheese sandwiches served on toasted bread with lettuce and tomato. Either would be the perfect thing for a hot Atlanta afternoon.

I'd ordered it with extra meat and extra grilled onions, peppers and mushrooms and there was little evidence of any onions, peppers or mushrooms at all. I have stewed about this for a day or so. I don't know what happened with your quality, but it was not worth it for 1/4 the price. On top of that Uber Eats said I needed to share the complaint within two days to get a refund. Consequently I will not get UBER One and UBER EATS validated my decision to get a Dash Pass instead. I wasn't trying to game the system for a refund but after years of great steak sandwiches from Woody's for well over a decade, I thought about it simmering.

Fry-lovers, unite! I…read moreenjoy fries, but happen to love someone who is a big fry lover. Like, very serious about them and how they're cooked. Me, just give me the hot fries, skip the fancy. Well, Mr. Fancy Fry-lover asked me to grab him some while I visited The Works recently and I finally had the chance to checkout WTF/What the Fry. WTF is a food stand within The Works that really stands out. Featuring a variety of potato picks such as tots, waffle fries, curly fries, etc., the carbs are on 10 here. Beyond the potatoes themselves, WTF offers a variety of seasonings and toppings to flavor up your choice. Craving more tan just fries? They've got you covered there as well with tenders, fries and more. I decided to go with the straight fries w/ cajun seasoning ++ tots w/garlic parmesan and lemon pepper. Both were freshly fried and flavored, I only wish I had taken a seat to eat more on my own before I passed them onto him, lol. And the gentleman behind the counter was ON IT. He was tossing fries in seasoning, drizzling sauce on wings, all while making jokes and helping customers at the same time. Truly a good experience, I'll be back to enjoy more potatoes in all their glory.

As an Atlanta native, I pride myself in being a wing connoisseur and I'd have to say these were very good. The sauce and flavor profile were just right and the wing size was perfect.

I want to give 4 stars because I love the concept, but I gotta take away one because I feel like…read morethere's lots of room for improvement. So I think every 2nd and 4th (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Saturday of the month, food trucks and food stands gather outside of Sweet Auburn Curb Market by the parking lot, to serve a large crowd of hungry Atlantans. When I was there, I remember seeing the Yumbii truck (korean bbq/mexican fusion), Good Food truck (fusion of different cuisines served in waffle cones), and a barbeque truck. Food stands served a variety of foods including cake pops, flavored boiled peanuts, tamales, chinese potstickers/buns, bottled drinks, and king of pops. There's definitely potential for more businesses to partake in the event. As food truck/street food culture becomes more popular, I'm sure the number of vendors at the Saturday Urban Picnic will increase, probably to the point that it would outgrow the location of where it's at right now. I also felt as though the quality of the food could be better. The ideas are clever, but the food doesn't compare to food from LA's food truck's.

At $4 per tamale I definitely think it's worth scouting her out. Not only are her tamales delicious, but Mari is also a very sweet person! I love supporting small pop ups like this!

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.
