Atlanta Food Trucks - Where to Find Them!

Who's Your Favorite?

May 30, 2012
Food trucks are all the rage these days - if you happened to see What To Expect When You're Expecting, you got a taste of just how many food truck locations there are around Atlanta (no, it wasn't just for the movie!). Included in this article are the ones I could confirm.

It seems that the best way to keep up with what's happening with the Food Trucks is to like them on Facebook. Links are below.

What can you get? Depends on the day and location. I've listed a few popular trucks, but there are way too many to include them all! CLICK HERE for a list of trucks that frequent the Atlanta Food Truck Park. And CLICK HERE for a list of Atlanta Street Food Coalition Vendors.

Big news: The Atlanta Food Truck Park at Howell Mill is now officially open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. I'l have to admit I can't give any advice here, as I haven't experienced this yet myself, but I plan to very soon. I just know it's an event! And a family-friendly one too. You can bring blankets and chairs, experience live music, and there's even a weekend farmer's market. Different food trucks daily, arts and crafts, even bocce ball. Friendly leashed dogs are welcome outside the dining area and food truck area.

LOCATION:
