Welcome to Knoxville Tennessee, where the gourmet food truck scene has been going strong for a while now! It all started with the city approving seven locations Downtown for food trucks and it has blossomed from there. Knoxville is growing across many industries, and its charming Downtown area has been revitalized thanks in large part to the World Fair, hosted here in 1982. This city is well known for its Market Square, the University of Tennessee Volunteers and Gay Street, the area's vibrant center. Knoxville is also a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Foodies will be happy here. Knoxville has embraced the hard working food truck operators around town as the need for to-go options street side is clear. With new food trucks showing up every year the Knoxville food truck scene shows no signs of slowing down. You'll just have to taste the flavors of the city and see for yourself. From homestyle meals to lighter lunch options, Knoxville has it all. Popular food trucks here include Southern Sisters Mobile Cafe , a catering specialist serving unique comfort food items like Seafood Stuffed Egg rolls with Cajun rice, and Captain Muchacho's which features unique Korean and Mexican fusion mashups like Korean Beef Nachos and Sriracha Chicken Tacos.

I want to give 3 stars for the fact that my order was 20 minutes later than my “pick up” time. But the sandwiches were so good that I’m giving 4 stars. If my food would have been 5 minutes later or less, I would have given 5 stars. Love supporting a veteran owned business.

Both the signature burger and mushroom/swiss burger were awesome. The bun and also the lettuce sub bun were great. Good fries as well.

Chicken was hot and fresh. Love the thin breading on the pieces. Best fries I've had in a long time... crispy in fresh oil. Definitely a do-over.

Margarita pizza was excellent-great flavors! Sausage & Pepper pizza was good but slightly burnt in a couple areas. Crust was chewy, not crispy. Overall satisfied with the pizzas. Will order again.

Great sandwiches and I thought it was a fair value for the size. I had the prosciutto and a turkey avocado. I'll buy again.
