I got the fried chicken salad and it was very fresh with lots of an assortment of vegetables and cranberries with homemade croutons! Oh... don't let me forget their homemade ranch dressing is like no other ranch dressing you've ever had!! I would highly recommend giving them a try, you definitely won't be disappointed with anything on the menu!! read more

Great food, great service from great people. Finally got a chance to try this food truck on 151, on the way up to the BRP, close to Boone's Corner. Wasn't sure if I would like the crunch-wrap or not, but they told me it was great so I gave it a go and wow, they weren't lying, it was luscious. SSF is a great place to refuel after hiking along the parkway. I'll be back read more

I was out visiting a friend and I discovered the; "Sweet, Southern Funk" food truck. The food truck is literally sitting on the side of the road but surprisingly its so family oriented. The owner has beautiful little tables. set up with umbrellas so you can get out of the sun, a huge grassy area behind the truck, where the kids or the pups can run and have fun far away from the road. You don't often see this in a food truck, they are located usually in more limited spaces. This site is so UNIQUE. The paper menus I show in the pictures you can pick up and take with you or read the stand up menu when you get there. Whats really unique about this truck is that most of the dishes are one price and come with a side, a couple like my nachos don't. Portions were exceptionally large and can easily be shared. Kids prices are half the cost and they have CUPCAKES . Owner keeps the area CLEAN, tables were also very clean and pretty. Now a complaint the nacho chips were not homemade!! They were from a package and thats a real negative for me, l expect more from a food truck. They can cook the fries they can cook the chips!!! But, the toppings and flavors were exceptional. The owner used some thing which I have not had before. "Hickory Nut Gap Beef" and let me tell you it's incredible. I asked him what he used to flavor his beef and he shared he put barbecue sauce and brown sugar that's all he shared lol. I'm telling you it's yummy I could've just eating a bowl of that, LOL. I am going back to try the deep fried hotdogs with the sloppy joe chili and queso!! I want to try his whole menu it looks yummy. Great service. The owner was very kind. He explained everything l asked. This is the kind of place I like to go, take my dog relax and just enjoy. Please TRY THIS FOOD TRUCK, and support our local chefs. read more

This is one of my favorite food trucks in the area by far. Best chicken sandwich, fried to perfection and accompanied very well, and the sloppy Joe is hands down the best sloppy Joe I've ever had! Love the food truck and the vibe and the service is great and fast for the quality of food, you can tell it's prepared fresh. Well worth the drive out to Candler to try this place, I've never been disappointed! read more

I was in Candler and thought I would check out nearby resaturants. I've been trying to find great fried chicken since I moved to the region ten years ago and thought this might be the spot. It's a super cute truck, branding and nice people. I wanted to get...a piece of fried chicken, like a breast or thigh or drumstick...but they don't offer pieces of friend chicken, really. Instead the only option was chicken tenders, which are a whole different ball of wax than fried chicken on the bone, which is truly tender and juicy if eaten fresh out of the fryer. Instead, the meat hiding in the tender was pretty dry and the crust was thick and dry, and not seasoned in any interesting way. I guess they are made for dipping. The honey mustard dip I opted for did not move me. I also treated myself to some french fries (I normally stay away from fried stuff) and omg, there was SO much salt on them. I love salt but this was completely out of balance, almost like someone was playing a practical joke. They have a really extensive menu with what sounds like some fun and interesting meals, so perhaps those are more yummy. I would even go back and try those if I'm in the area again. It just doesn't seem to me that "fried chicken" should be quite so up front in their branding. read more

Awesome food! We stopped by while camping in the area. It was the closest place serving hot food and it did not disappoint. Crunchwraps were perfect. I was a little jealous of my daughter's chicken tenders. They looked super crispy and juicy with a ton of seasoning in the light batter. The fella who prepared everything was a one man operation at the time but he handled our 6 person order very quickly. Definitely check them out if anywhere near Asheville or heading to Mt Pisgah. read more

I am so impressed with the quality of this meal! Truly blessed to have quality food at a good price! You get what you pay for here!!

We enjoyed this funky food truck. My wife stopped for lunch and enjoyed her veggie Crunchwrap and pasta salad. Both were very flavorful. The sandwich was so big she could only eat half of it. She liked it so much she made me drive over to see for myself. I had the fried bologna sandwich. Now, this isn't the "take the red tape off the edge" bologna of your youth but the "cut it this thick" bologna that your grandpappy enjoyed back in the day. Because it was warm this evening, the guy said to enjoy the AC in the truck that he would bring my food to me. I've never received that kind of service from a food truck. As locals, we'll be back! read more

It's a great food truck! Paul does a great job! Great food! You have to try the fried bologna sandwich!

Been going here for years, one of the best food trucks in Asheville. The service is great always. And you can throw the ball or kick the ball in the field really cool down to earth chill spot. read more

Wow! The food here is made with so much love and flavor. We ordered the Vegan crunch wrap and i'm not even vegan but it was so delicious. Also the special was the wings, w the homemade ranch!!! incredible. Im a huge ranch lover and this ranch was top notch. Wish I had a bottle to take home with me. Also ordered the cucumber salad , so light and refreshing. Paul was so kind! The whole place had such a great feel. Thank you Sweet Southern Funk for existing. 10/10 read more

Fun little food truck permanently parked on a large lot. Husband raved about both their famous Bologna Sandwich and their funk style burger. I have had their sandwich and regular burger. Both were very good. read more

The food is fantastic. It's obvious that with each order quite a bit of care is given. The menu is creative, ingredients are fresh, and attention is paid attention to when it comes to both details and special requests. read more

Absolutely DISGUSTING sandwiches and sides. The menu is outright lies. My sandwich claimed to come with bacon and peppers and a few other things and instead I got 2 oz of ground beef covered in nacho cheese on a bun. It was inedible. When I complained, they said the bacon and peppers were "chopped up with the beef". In my kitchen, that's just called "cooking" not a topping. It was like being served dog food on a bun and was the worst sandwich I've ever had. They did bring me the sides that were supposed to be on my sandwich at the end but it was still the most unenjoyable food I've eaten in many years. They obviously paid for their Google reviews and we left utterly disappointed. As locals, we will never be back. read more
