The food was fresh and hot. I ordered the Carolina burger and fries with garlic parm. Will was friendly and patient with everyone in line. Pops was busy cooking all of the orders. My only complaint was that the food container needed either parchment paper or foil on the inside. I would definitely order again. The price was affordable and the food was good. read more

Waited quite a while for just a burger and fries and was shocked when I opened the container. The burger was about the size of an egg. Tasted just ok, but wow, so small...and the fries were not good....skinny and limp. Do not recommend at all. Very disappointed. read more

Tasty! Busy Friday, no time to cook and lucky us because this food truck was in the neighborhood. Husband popped up and brought home a Smoky Mountain burger with bacon, grilled onions, monterey jack and bbq sauce for me, and a Rusty for him. His packed some heat with jalapenos, spicy onion straws and garlic habanero aioli. We also got garlic parm fries. Arrived in cardboard containers, still warm. According to their website they use "locally sourced" Angus Beef and locally made brioche buns. Half pound per burger. All I can say is it was all very good. My burger didn't have a ton of toppings, but each bite was flavorful without being messy or getting the bun soggy. The fries were good too. Lots of parmesan and enough for sharing. Husband enjoyed his very much also. They didn't ask how he wanted them cooked and both were well done, but luckily not dry. So if you like a medium or rare burger you might want to ask about it. Prices reasonable. Husband said they were really nice and even asked whether he was driving or walking, so he could bring the food to him. Love that they support local. Will happily do this food truck again! read more

The truck showed up in our neighborhood with only a single person working. We waited over an hour and a half for 2 burgers, fries, and a grilled cheese. The bacon on the Smoky Mountain Burger was inexcusably and laughably small. The burgers were also more well done than they needed to be, they were pretty dry. The garlic parm fries had no garlic. The parm was the equivalent of the green can of parm shook on top. The grilled cheese tasted burnt, and it was just a Kraft single on white bread. None of this was worth the wait nor the calories. read more

I really wanted to like this food truck but it didn't quite deliver. I went with the cheese burger combo for $9.00 + tax. It came with a side of fries and a drink. When I received it, the fries were all broken and over fried. It was like eating the little bits of broken pieces at the bottom of a bag of chips. The burger was good and had a nice char to it. Other than that, not sure if it's worth the price point. I could've done without the fries but the deal just sounded so good. Overall, the owners are friendly and very kind. I appreciate the good customer service. read more

Will & Pop's - Horrible fries - Food Trucks Near Me

I wish I had read reviews before hitting this food truck last night. My observations have already been posted by others, and it would have saved me money and a bad experience. My husband got a hot dog from this place and he said it was okay. $5 for a hot dog with toppings isn't out of the ordinary. My burger and fries was $13ish, which would have been fine, but the fries were ridiculously underdone, limp, unsalted, yet still greasy and covered in some unpalatable spice concoction. Even several minutes in my oven didn't save them and I threw most of them out. The burger was on the smallish side and the taste was passable at best. We went early and there was no line, so we didn't have to wait at all, but I noticed that folks who walked up behind us weren't greeted or asked for their order until ours was ready and out the window--leaving them to wait 2-3 minutes while the truck finished up 1 hotdog, 1 burger, and one order of fries. I can see why other reviews say they waited a long time if they can only handle one thing at a time. Definitely disappointing--won't eat here again. read more

Good evening. My husband just returned from getting our order and we are extremely dissatisfied. $53 for 3 inedible hot dogs and a burnt grilled cheese. He waited over 75 minutes for our order. When the fry maker broke, he was given $7 to replace 4 orders of fries (sold at $4 each!). This is ridiculous. read more

An exceptional burger and fries experience from a food truck. The Big Kev I ordered featured a flawlessly cooked egg, perfectly crisp bacon, and the delectable taste of the burger combined with the grill-charred bun made for an impeccable pairing. The fries were a delightful and distinctive treat as well. Will & Pop's truck has certainly gained a loyal customer in me! Note: They also made my burger within 5 minutes of ordering at a busy office complex. read more

You have to love Will & Pop's. The first I ever heard of Will & Pop's was from a Groupon. So I figured I would give them a try for the good deal. The food was great, but I think there was some confusion on the Groupon deal with the guy that took the order. So I contacted Will and he told me to find them again and he would make up for it. I would say that is great customer service. With the food, the menu changes depending on the event, and what they have. But no matter what, the menu is always tasty. One thing I love is their fries. They have awesome fries to go along with their tasty burgers. Another thing is that when you go to chain places, their toppings are low quality, but not here at Will & Pop's. You can even follow them on Facebook and Twitter so you can keep up with where they are traveling to. You can generally find them at most of the food truck rodeos around town. Plus you can always tweet them and Will will gladly tell you where they are, or their schedule. Friendly people, with great food. Good times, good times. read more

I had the opportunity to try Will & Pop's food truck at a Fall Dept. of Genetics Festival at UNC-CH. I had the cheeseburger with fries and was pleasantly surprised with the intensity of the cheese combining well with the freshness of the burger the patty. The burger bun is flaky and has a great smell to it. The patty is cooked perfectly, not overdone nor charred. The fries are pretty sub-par, slightly lacking consistency in their cookery but overall seasoned well and giving a good texture. Will & Pop's offers a good bite to eat with clean flavors and hearty textures. The price point is great for the quality of food that you receive. This rating could have been a 5/5 stars, but Will & Pops has not surprised my imagination nor my palate yet. My fellow foodies, it is worth taking the time to check this truck out! read more

I was lucky enough to have this food truck pull up close to where I live! I ordered the Gobbler with parm garlic fries. The staff members were very welcoming and very efficient--especially nice for me who was very hungry when I ordered! The grilled cheese came on white bread and it wasn't overly buttery, which was a welcomed change from other places at which I've ordered a grilled cheese. The fries were yummy. I thought the pricing was reasonable. read more

I hired Will and Pop's for two events. There were things that went wrong, long lines, inability to fulfill orders with the first event and the owner indicated that this would be resolved for the second account. The second event the food quality was inferior. the nice young men were nice. They gave me what I owed but no accounting. i presumed that they didn't have this otherwise they would have given it to me. I asked for an accounting after I recovered from being sick I was told it was too late to receive this. I found out later that it appears that the owner subs out this work. When I indicated that we had been unhappy with this, the owner told me that he didn't want to work with me as I am difficult. I hadn't asked for a refund nor for anything I just wanted him to know that their services were subpar so perhaps they wouldn't use this sub again or at least check their quality. My reward was to be told I wasn't a welcome client. Strange Customer Service. read more

Went to this food truck at botanical gardens. Saw the health score was a 90.5 and took a look inside and opted for hot cocoa since it was cold out. I get they are certainly not known for their hot chocolate but at 3.25 each, to be self-served out of a Gatorade cooler was one thing. To be served out of a Gatorade cooler and taste of water and salt is another. We immediately dumped it out - it truly tasted like there was salt or sweat in it. And it was very dark, so even more concerning as I assumed it would be rich and chocolatey given the color. I've NEVER tasted anything like it. Will avoid at all costs in the future. read more

Ok, just had Will & Pops for dinner while they were at Leesville Road Middle School. (Thank you for coming!) Their burgers were The. Best. Ever. Ordered food to go home since we weren't in the mood to cook. Glad we weren't. Got the Smoky Mountain Burger, the 919 and a regular burger. All were delish! I'm married to a burger connoisseur and he even approved! It was a substantial amount of meat, cooked to perfection, the bacon was crispy and thick, the lettuce and tomatoes were crisp and fresh too! Loved the garlic parmesan fries too. They were the long, thin kind and had just the right amount of parmesan and garlic. Oh, and just had one of the cupcakes. Holy moly. I don't even know the flavor and it was sooooo good! Glad I only ordered one for each of us. We would gain too much weight if we had more. Ha!! Thanks for making it out to Leesville, Will & Pops! Now we are huge fans!!! HUGE!! Great food and nice workers. read more

Overall disappointing. Only redeemer was the fries. They took forever to make a grilled cheese and then both me & my friends orders were wrong. My friend got a grilled cheese with turkey, avocado and tomato and they forgot the CHEESE on the grilled CHEESE. There was also avocado skin on her avocado which I didn't think was possible for someone to do. I ordered a bacon grilled cheese & they forgot the bacon. The grilled cheese was overall not great. read more

Alright well I don't know if maybe they were just having an off day on my first visit but the food today was so much better! I got the Smoky mountain no bacon again and added jalapeno. The burger was cooked medium on a nice brioche bun. It was very juicy and I loved the honey bbq sauce with spicy jalapeno combination. Also had lettuce and tomato which was a nice add. The fries were fresh and crispy this time and the seasoning was much better. I was happy it was better than my first visit and look forward to their next visit. read more

Went there at the North Carolina botanical gardens Winter in the Garden event. Only got hot chocolate but it was disgusting. Like not drinkable disgusting. It cost 3 dollars and they directed us to a 5 gallon cooler. It was thick and literally couldn't drink it. They had cans of whipped cream that were all empty. Didn't get any of their food, so cannot comment on anything else. read more

Waited over two hours for food. when it came it was not what we ordered. We were 6th in line after they showed up 30 minutes late and they were already out of items. Why advertise it if you just didn't bring it? Burgers were over cooked, used American cheese when cheddar was advertised. In general the food was good. But my chili, cheddar, onion, and slaw turned into a bacon and American cheese? Family does not recommend the veggie burger at all. The veggies in the family ate it because they were that hungry. Most people that ordered after us just cancelled their order read more

This place just might give Only Burger a run for their money! A great-looking truck with a chalkboard menu of variety. They had six burgers to choose from -- plus a special "eat at your own risk," "Hell Burger." I asked the gal to tell me about it, and she summed up that it's made with habaneros, and about 30 times hotter than the Jalapeno Burger. We chose the Jalapeno Burger. (Side note: Normally, I am not one to step down from a food challenge [Extra-zany-make you sob like a baby-spicy? Bring it on, says I.] However, I married a whitey, and we were splitting this burger. And I'm trying to be a more considerate wife [who is apparently not yet considerate enough to deface his weak-sauce spice handling in a public forum]). The burgers ranged a bit in price, with the Jalapeno Cheddar coming in at $6 (no fries). It came with tomato, lettuce, onion, and pickle. And you could add your own condiments. The burger was big and beefy, and downright delicious! Juicy meat that was cooked just long enough. They source from Weaver Street and Cliff's, so it's cool to know they're supporting some local businesses too! read more

Will and Pop's came to our company picnic and did a great job making fresh patties, sandwiches and fries. Since everything is fresh and made-to-order, you have to expect some time to prepare and cook your burger. The burger was really tasty, fresh and full of flavor. The team did a great job of pumping out all the orders and am glad to see Will and Pop's back on the scene. read more

I finally got a chance to try this truck over the weekend at Fullsteam. It did not disappoint! They had a lot of options written on their chalkboard menu on the side of the truck and it was hard to narrow down my selection. I ended up getting the Mash Up while Josh chose the Gangsta. The Mash Up was two cheeses (cheddar and pepper jack) topped with mango chutney and guacamole. I loved the sandwich - the spicy and the sweet were an awesome combination that I never would have thought would be so good together. Josh also liked his sandwich, which was topped with two cheeses and pulled pork. We also shared the kettle chips, which came in a very large portion and had a bunch of different types of chips (some that we couldn't identify - but we're pretty sure that some were made from beets, some made from sweet potatoes and some made from regular potatoes among them)! They were definitely different than any kettle chips I'd had before, but were pretty good. All in all it was a good lunch for a total of $15 (my sandwich was $6, his was $8 and the chips were $1). Not a bad price, the only suggestion I'd have for them (which seems to be an issue with every food truck) would be to provide napkins! I would eat here again for sure! read more

How many different ways can you have your grilled cheese sandwich? Apparently, there is no wrong way to eat a grilled cheese. *high-five myself on that cheesy joke* **high-five myself again for making a cheesy joke on a cheesy joke** Oh I could go on... Will and Pop. I'm back! So the Hell burger from my last challenge is now obviously off the menu, but I did find other inspirations. Do you like it "Hipster" with mango chutney? Do you like it "Gangsta" on pulled pork? Maybe you are into "Hot Hippy Chick," jerk chicken w/ guacamole & habanero cheddar? Or perhaps you go "Ninja" style, slapping some pepper jelly on duck? Me? I will forever be an "Elvis" fan, and I think about peanut butter, banana slices and bacons, Love Me Tender between two grilled sourdough slices. Personally I love crispy bacons instead of chewy bacons in this, but I'm not All Shook Up about it. Some of W&P sweets are excellent as well. I love bread pudding, and looking forward to next time at Fullstream so I can try "Black Forest" read more

This food truck pumps out so many combinations of grilled cheeses and cheeseburgers! Will & Pops makes the burger patties on the truck so you're guaranteed to get a fresh burger. Their customer service is great & they take cash or card too. In less than 2 days notice due to the cancellation of another food truck, Will & Pops came through at the last minute to make our Oktoberfest company picnic a huge success! The burgers are delicious and their toppings are locally sourced so they're super fresh, and they work so well on their grilled cheeses too! My favorite was the mushroom & swiss burger- the bun was fresh & the side of fries were well seasoned. Because they make the burgers to order, expect to wait a little bit- but it's so worth it! Whether you're planning a corporate event, wedding, party, company picnic, or if you see them at a food truck rodeo, definitely stop by this green food truck- you won't be disappointed! read more

Great vibe from the cook , great food . They make a really good chilli for hotdogs . Apple bacon grilled cheese yes please .

The burger was okay but I certainly would have liked additional seasoning on the beef patty. The meat was cooked to about a medium which I think is perfect in a burger. The whole package was unmemorable. Pickles would have helped a little. The french fries were a big miss. Hand cut and skinny, I like that, but they were limp and soggy. Very soggy to the point that I can't believe they served them. I saw it plain as day so they certainly did too as they're the experts. Instead of fixing the issue they turned a blind eye and now they have this negative review and have lost me in the future. It seemed to be a matter of the oil not being hot enough, but that's odd considering they opened just a short bit before we got there and there were no other orders. read more

Will and Pop's was a last minute dinner decision and we were happy they were still serving! The chef cooked me a fresh burger at my preferred temperature and it was delicious! My mom enjoyed the rusty burger and said it was juicy and very good. We both enjoyed our dinners tonight! Love trying new food trucks and supporting small businesses! read more

The maya grilled cheese is pretty good with the jalapeños. Not something I couldn't make at home easily but serviceable. It was disappointing to see "their" veggie burger is a Morningstar patty which you can get at Walmart. I'm not paying for that and it's pure laziness to not have your own when you make everything else yourself. Why be unkind to vegetarians? Not impressed. read more

I understand that most food trucks are new to online ordering, but don't text people saying their order is finished when it's not. I waited close to 15 minutes to pick up my order. Clearly both guys were cooking and the line kept growing. Very disorganized. Burger was ok. Average. Fries were soggy and gross. read more

I recently had this food truck for a work event. I tried the grilled cheese, a burger and the garlic parmesan fries. Everything looked so good! The seasoning on the fries took them the extra mile. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Everything was paid for by my work but even if it wasn't I think the prices were fair. Each item came with a side of fries. The menu is a bit small but if they're ever in your area, it's worth checking out! read more

I ordered the 9/9, with avocado, bacon, and pepper jack. I also went with tomato and lettuce on top. My fried ordered the garlic parmesan fries and I tried a bit of that as well. I was starving and the smells coming from the truck were amazing, but something was definitely lost in execution. The bun was cold, not warmed up or toasted. The lettuce was cut into strangely size strips, too large for standard lettuce shreds, but not full leaves either. They were crunchy, but too hearty for the patty. The tomato was similarly crudely large slices, disproportionate with the slim patty. The patty itself was thin and far too overcooked, crumbling from the dryness. I could easily have made a better burger at home and I wish I had saved the money instead. The fries were pretty good, but not too special compared to other garlic parmesan fries. Overall, I doubt I'd come again. read more

Out of all the Durham food trucks, this one and The Parlour are my favorites. I gotta say, between the trippy font, tie-dye decor, Zeppelin soundtrack, and the waist-length dreads sported by one of the guys in the truck, I suspect it began as an idea between guys over a couple blunts -- Jay: "Like, dude, you know what would be *expletive* perfect now, dude? Like, the most awesome *expletive* grilled cheese sandwiches ever! With pulled pork and mango chutney and jerk chicken and other *expletive* crazy *expletive*!" (Followed by lots of lewd words and gestures about naked women eating them, or wearing them, or whatever.) Silent Bob: *nod while lighting up* I mean, they have a sandwich called "The Stoner." A dessert sandwich with banana, peanut butter, and marshmallow. Hmm, wow. Despite not being high, I'm actually craving the sandwich while I write this review. Sandwiches are this food truck's thing, and these sandwiches are fantastically delicious with hilarious names (Poor Wilbur = bacon + tomato). My favorite is the Hot Hippy Chick, which has jerk chicken, guacamole, and habanero cheddar. I'm a spicy girl who loves her spice, and the heat in this sandwich fits perfectly in the context of fresh, skillfully prepared ingredients. I never thought to describe a grilled cheese sandwich as a thing of soul-warming beauty, but...Will & Pop's version is certainly that. The guys use local cheeses and meats, which makes me love them all the more. The truck travels all over the Triangle, but for Durhamites, you can frequently find it outside of Fullsteam on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Also, one of the guys, Pop's (or Pop?), recently got into a bad accident, so this and other trucks are taking donations and contributing some of their earnings to pay for his medical bills. So show them some love. read more

What a cute freaking food truck. Tried their veggie burger all the way with cheese Easter Sunday at the Carrboro Food Truck-a-Thon. The staff are pleasant, funny, and speedy. The grilled cheese---particularly The Hipster---looked amazing; definitely want to try that in the future. I'd seen several burgers come out and they were just massive. The veggie burger was the size and consistency of an original Gardenburger and, in fact, was so uniformly shaped---like it had been cut with a cookie cutter---that it made me wonder if it was just a frozen burger that had been grilled, although the slightly orange color of the burger didn't match any store-bought burgers that I have had before, so I can't be sure. What I can tell you is that there was much more bread than veggie burger, but the bread was pretty tasty and the burger itself was delicious, house-made or not. I wish they used, for example, mixed greens instead of iceberg lettuce, but how much can you really expect from a $6 food truck veggie burger? I found the prices reasonable, the menu expansive, and their use of fresh, local ingredients commendable. Also, very, very cool to know that they're serving late-night eats from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights at The Station at Southern Rail in Carrboro. This place would be a life saver after a night of drinking, let me tell you. I will look for it again for sure. read more

All the reviews are for the daytime menu at will and pops, which is good, but only part of the full awesomeness of Will and Pops. After dark the menu changes, going away from burgers and fries and going towards the best late nite, drunk food ever - Grilled Cheese. These are no normal grilled cheese mind you, even the plainest sandwich they offer, the "Primitive" is three delicious types of cheese, expertly placed between 2 slices of local baked sourdough bread, grilled to perfection with a healthy amount of butter. But please, don't stop there. If you are coming out of a bar, hunger overtaking you, a grilled cheese is great, but please direct your attention to the most amazing sandwich ever to be served out of a truck - the Gangsta. The Gangsta takes the buttery, cheesy, melted Primitive and takes it to the next level, stuffing it was a copious amount of local pulled pork. Yes, pulled pork. In a grilled cheese. When that sandwich comes out of the window, looking all understated in a paper sleeve, you dont know what you are about to experience, but then as you bite into that crunchy bread it hits you - cheesy, melty, meaty, buttery, sour, savory - perfection. Seriously, this sandwich takes drunk food to a whole new level. Aside from the Gangsta, they also have grilled cheese with guacamole, mango chutney, and occasional specials like meatloaf and cheesesteaks. If your looking for some sweet stuff late night they have an awesome sandwich called the "Stoner" which takes peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and banana and makes it into a sweet and savory mess of a sandwich - seriously, you may need a spoon to finish, although i prefer to use the crusts to sop up the melted PB and Fluff. Overall, if you see the will and pops truck, no matter what time if day, expect excellence. read more

What a slab of meat! Brit and I came out to the 'CH' for the Al's Garage food truck meet up and arrived relatively late into the event. Blue Sky dining had tapped out, and was busy packing up, I'd already had Only Burger before, and I wasn't feeling Mexican. Will and Pop's was actually "closed" when we got there as they had turned so many burgers that their grill needed a rest. 30 minutes later they fired things back up and I made my way up to the truck. Many of the menu items had been stricken from the list. I managed to score an order for a Jalapeño Chedder Burger sans fries as those were fully depleted. When my name was called 5 minutes later I cracked the top on the box and was greeted with a luscious poppy seed bun, fresh red onions, a juicy and bright tomato slice and a fresh piece of lettuce. 1/4 inch slices of jalapeño were arranged ontop of the melted chedder cheese which had embraced a hand pattied slab of thick ground beef. The burger was flavorful, the accompaniment rocked, and the kick the jalapeño and the cheddar provided made this burger a great addition to my waist line. read more
