Awful service. I was a vendor at the Cottontown Art Crawl, I came to just get a coke for my mom. I waited 20 minutes to order as the second person in line because there was one worker and he took every order one by one, then made their food, then rang them up before taking another order, so it made one hotdog order take 15-20 minutes to make and check them out and everything. As someone who's been in the food service industry since I was 15, I know that this is the least efficient way to be getting orders done. Main problem was he was not only rude, but touching MONEY with the same gloves that he used to prepare/cook food. I watched him pull his wallet out, put money in there, put it back in his pocket, and pulled his pants up from his butt with the same gloved hand. Right after that did scooped the customers fries into the container and gave it to them. Thankful I was just getting a coke. Disgusting, the bare minimum is changing ur gloves. read more

Kid approved foot long!!! To my surprise he ate the whole thing and said it was good. He's a picky "dog" eater so SUCCESS! Review by 9 year old: Great dog. It wasn't too greasy and not too plain. It was just right. I liked that I got a bag of chips with it and a Coke. read more

The Wurst Wagen - Food Trucks Near Me

I tried out this food truck while at Oktoberfest in Newberry. Usually we eat from one of the other vendors, but I decided to give them a shot. There was a long line, which is usually a good sign. Unfortunately the line was running a bit slowly and took a long time to get food. We ordered the schnitzel and curry bratwurst. The schnitzel was well cool with great flavor. The curry was a bit of a letdown with a sauce that was closer to plain ketchup with curry powder sprinkled at the end. read more

I really enjoyed their bratwurst and other sausages they were so good I stuffed myself with two orders. The smell was so irresistible I had to have them. The owners were really cool and knew their brats. This stand should be at every new brewery that opens in columbia at least once a week! Conquest and River Rat you have my million dollar idea! read more

Unfortunately I am lowering my stellar five star review to two stars following a racist incident that my family experienced with a Wurst Wagon employee on October 15, 2016 at the Soda City Farmer's market. I waited until now to write about my experience partially due to the trauma, but also because I wanted to give the business the benefit of the doubt as the owners of the food truck were present and appeared to be quite embarrassed about the situation. Given the fact that I saw this employee working at the Annual Food Truck Festival today, I can no longer give this business the benefit of the doubt. Here is what happened to us: On October 15, 2016, at the Soda City Farmer's market my daughter and I witnessed the employee photographed below display a nasty, racist attitude towards my Latino husband who was just trying to buy a kielbasa at the Wurst Wagon (racist because he was treated differently than the white customers). We were standing to the side reading the menu trying to make selection and the employee refused to answer my husband's questions. My husband wanted to know if any of the sausages were spicy and the differences between each flavor ("It's a kielbasa, of course it's not spicy," he answered with an irritated voice"). Then he gestured to my husband to step to the right about three inches, "you need to stand right here," where apparently the line was except there was NO ONE ELSE present. He then proceeded to ignore my husband until one of the German cooks stepped in to explain. My husband finally made a selection and handed the employee his money. "Here you go, it's ready," and motioned for him to leave WITHOUT giving him his change." My husband let him know he was simply waiting for his change, which was then given to him. He started putting his change in his wallet while standing off to the side when the guy pointed again to his meal and said, "It's right here, it's ready," and motioned for him to move. At this point there was ONE person in line and there ways no way the fact that my husband's meal sitting on their long table was holding up business. My husband explained "I'm just trying to put away my change," as the guy turned his back and began to engage with another customer. I was frozen in disbelief. Now before you try to explain away his behavior as just being a jerk or having a bad day, just let me tell you what happened next: a white family walks up and the employee converses and laughs with all of them while pointing out and explaining the different sausages for several minutes before making a sale. read more

The Wurst Wagen - The employee wearing the blue hat is the one who was racist toward my family. - Food Trucks Near Me

I follow this food cart around Columbia! Having spent time traveling in Germany, I crave good wursts!!! These are so amazingly fabulous that I could eat them every single day! The hard rolls are perfectly authentic and the pretzels put all others to shame. The grained mustard is so amazing that I can eat it by itself! All of the wurst selections are amazing! I have not had the schnitzel or the pommes frites but they are on my list to try asap! It is easy to find their food cart as they are always working hard to feed their homemade goodness to the people of Columbia. On Saturdays you can find them at Soda City on Main Street. They have an active Facebook page that alerts readers to their upcoming events and provides addresses so that you can find them easily. Go see the German! He will change your life!:) 12/22/2016 Thank you for hosting your fabulous food cart at City Roots tonight! Currywurst and Kielbasawurst were on my plate and I could've eaten the cardboard! It was SOOOO delicious. The sauerkraut was perfect as was the hard roll. I think that I need a gallon of your spicy mustard! Have a safe trip to Atlanta for Christmas! Will send you a PM for the party plans!:) See you in 2017!!! 2/1/2017 Visited The Wurst Wagen on Devine Street today for an amazing lunch! Kielbasawurst with homemade mustard on a hard roll. It's almost impossible to top that perfection! My partner ordered the schnitzel and loved it so much that he went back for a second helping. The pommes frites, along with the schnitzel, are fried on-site by Gerard and served piping hot. He will fry them to your select crispness and it is truly a taste of heaven! Not only is it great food, but it affords you to dine and meet others with similar interests! Today we met someone at our table and enjoyed conversation for well over an hour! These are the kind of social gatherings that we should be enjoying together, as a Country. We are not so different from our neighbors. Gerard is a catalyst for world happiness through the sharing of his fabulous recipes. A true legacy. It's amazing. read more

Extra, extra! Gourmet food carts in Columbia! Wednesday on Pendleton by the State House. Several different wurst (sausage) and authentic tasty German sides. My favorite was Nurnbergerwurst with the purple cabbage and sweet-hot mustard. Less expensive than the chain sandwich shlop I was headed toward for lunch and way tastier. read more

Okay this meal was awesome! I don't like potato salad and I don't like mustard, but the potato salad here was amazing and the spicy mustard was out of this world! First of all the bun is AMAZING, it's so fresh and good! I highly recommend the cheesy spicy sausage, it's soooo good!!! This is a must try! It will have you coming back for more! read more

Das tasty! I was finally able to catch up with the Wurst Wagen today in the Wolfe Company parking lot for a pretzel! I don't eat meat, but the smells from the wursts were intoxicatingly good. I enjoyed a pretzel with mustard for lunch and really enjoyed it. They are larger than my outstretched hand and only a dollar! A DOLLAR! For the vegetarians and vegetable conscious, their potato salad and cucumber dill salad are meatless AND excellent! The potato salad had a great tang to it that isn't found in your usual mayo-based Southern renditions. Definitely follow their Twitter @bestwurstwagen to see where they will be setting up shop. The Germans are as read more

Great German food without the overseas flight. Love the Wurst Wagen, its brats, with spicy mustard and kartoffelsalat. My kids said they give it a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. As an added bonus, visit them when they are at Silver Spoon Bakery and a dessert will top off the meal. read more

During the 2017 Newberry Oktoberfest the line at the Wagen was long, which is a good sign for the food, but was not for the wait. The wait was almost 45 minutes long. The were horribly understaffed. Several other booths where providing comparable food, lower prices and faster service. This was a specialty event and the owners should have been better prepared for what was going to be a very busy day. read more

Very nice customer service, super friendly guys who gave a military discount. Fresh and hot and very clean!!!

The Wurst Wagon rolled into the Pure Fishing parking lot today. Between the rain drops (the weatherman lied again) I was able to place my order and walk away within minutes with a piece of German heaven. I Tried the assorted wursts and the schnitzel....the german potato salad....all fantastic. The homemade mustard.....I want some to take home! Great job folks and come back! read more

Sorry but one of the worst dogs ive ever had. No pun intended. I got the curry dog, which was a sausage drenched in bbq sauces with curry powder sprinkled on top and a stale roll on the side. The sausage wasnt even served hot. Definitely a waste of time and money that i cant get back. read more

Got some today at Lake Carolina Farmers Market. Tried one of each wurst, the German potato salad and the sauerkraut. Each wurst was extremely delicious. The sauerkraut was amazing and the potato salad was out of this world delicious. Looking forward to getting more of this fantastic German food in the future. read more

Amazing authentic German food. The Currywurst is the best I've had, and the Bratwurst with the sweet Bavarian mustard was insanely good.

Can't get anymore authentic than these guys! Sooo yummy. I overheard a conversation that sounded like their fresh bun purveyors, were out of their breading needs and offered to give them plain hot dog buns. And they refused to serve plain ones! That conversation confirmed my suspicions of the standards they maintain! Fast, delicious and authentic! I would even pay more...don't tell them. read more

I was never a huge bratwurst fan until I had the pleasure of experiencing the Wurst Wagen. Now I am willing to drive an hour just to eat their brats and potato salad. Definitely a must try! read more

Authentic, tasty German Würste, Kartoffelsalat, Pommes and excellent customer service! Seven Oaks Elementary School is so grateful to The Wurst Wagen for coming to the International Festival! Danke schön! read more

Just discovered this place today and had to give it a try. The gentlemen running it were fun and friendly, and the food was awesome. After the first bite it felt like I was back in Germany getting my favorite meal from an Imbissstand. Everything I've tried is good, but my personal favorite was the Currywurst. I'm glad these guys are in town, and I'll definitely be a regular. read more

The food is really good. I had the curry wurst and the Saturday market downtown. Thought it was really flavorful and the bun was the real deal. Nice people too. Really need to try more stuff here. read more
