They are a super friendly crew who are proud of what they serve. I most recently ordered their bbq sandwich served on soft bread with pickles and you pick your own sauce. They have a few sauces to choose from and each that tried were really tasty. I selected the Cheerwine sauce for it's sweet flavor and was super, duper happy with my selection. This was the best BBQ sandwich that I've had in years. I couldn't stop talking about it all day. There's nothing better than sitting along the river of the Bywater enjoying some truly delicious BBQ and I will definitely be there next weekend doing this again!

3,700th Review What…read morea find, while driving the switchbacks and mountain roads between Chimney Rock, NC and Hendersonville I was amazed to see the number of roadside apple stands and apple processing facilities. I guess this should of been no surprise being this area is known as "Apple Valley" - as luck would have it I'm here during the peak of apple season and these vendors are gearing up for another profitable tourist season. I've always loved fried fruit pies and I couldn't resist pulling off the road when I spotted this little "food truck" advertising home made fried pies and funnel cakes. They say it's all in a name and I guess that is what initially grabbed my attention, but for me it's really about the quality of the product and I'd risk disappointment to try this little pie shop out just from the look of this place. It's a very simple but well manicured site, with lots of colorful signage that is designed to capture the attention of anyone driving down Chimney Rock Road. Although the tip jar was overfilled from customers showing their appreciation, there was only one customer waiting when we arrived and Nana was finishing putting his order together so I had the place to myself to explore and strike up a conversation with the proprietor. Although there are many choices here when it comes to fruit pies, there was no doubt I'd be choosing a made from scratch apple pie - it appears Papa has other responsibilities in this little operation (filling propane bottles, landscaping and taking out the trash) to name a few, but it's clear that Nana is responsible for making the fillings and the pie crust although after speaking with them they definitely work this little business as a team. The fillings are fresh made and are stored in a small chilled table beside the counter used to roll the dough to order, these pies are put together after you place your order there is no inventory sitting under heat lamps or inside cases. I was fortunate enough to watch the process first hand. What I loved the best besides eating the actual pie was the filling it's not overly sweet allowing a hint of tartness to come alive inside your mouth, the little wrappers that she slides the pies into that allows you to eat it comfortably without making a mess, this is definitely a road trip treat. Warning - since these pies are served fresh from the hot grease there is a opportunity to burn your mouth so as much as you want to jump in and enjoy these pies immediately I would recommend you wait more than a few minutes and also have a cool refreshing drink available just in case you are impatient and can't wait or didn't read this part of the review. Wonderful people serving delicious fried pies at very reasonable prices...

I picked up my first jar of Old Mule original from the grocery store and haven't looked back. Every…read morespecialty store or food store I go in, I check to see if they have another variety of this delicious "BBQ-Marinade-Dipping" sauce. Recently, I stumbled upon the mustard variety and it was so delicious I went back to the same store searching for more. It sold out!! Of course, in today's connected society, I discovered I could order direct from the source. Let me say, this place is legit. I ordered a jug, yes a JUG, of the mustard style sauce and a jar of their newest Mountain Apple. My other half wanted to change our dinner plans the night the sauces arrived out of sheer excitement to try it. Everything down to the packaging is top notch. As silly is it sounds, even the tape they sealed the box with! This is one of those American businesses we should be proud of. Thank you so much, Steve and Cheryl!

The folks working on the truck, including Mandy, were beyond kind and sweet. That alone makes me want to come back to try the rest of the food! The gochujang broccoli is... the best thing ever. It's really a unique dish and also so smart because broccoli is so good and that combo just makes sense, it's crispy and saucy and lightly spicy and delicious. I shared the first order and had to get a second that I did NOT share. The furikake fries are also really unique and delicious, they are served with a really good sauce that tastes mayo based. If you're a vegan or not a vegan, come try Mean Mandy's! It's really great food served by awesome people. Also how can your resist visiting a food truck that has such a unique name :) Thanks Mandy & team
