Michele’s Charcoal Pit Food Truck

Got a chance to try this place out after a meeting downtown. I ordered the ¹⁄₃ lb burger «Chippy Q» style which includes fried onion strings, cheese and chipotle BBQ sauce with a side of cajun fries. Burgers are usually made medium, but they will cook it to your liking. The burger was really really good. Like super juicy and tasty. I was surprised it came from a food truck but the bun was a little bit thick for my liking. The BBQ sauce was really good and they have a whole bunch of other sauces you can try out. The fries were OK — good seasoning but they were too thick and not crispy enough for me. I really dislike thick soft french fries. Overall, I will definitely be returning to try their mac and cheese and to see what other tasty lunches they have to offer, but might skip on the fries or ask them to be cooked longer.

The barbecue sandwich was good. The meat savory and flavorful. I thought it could have used a little more BBQ sauce. The bacon was good and greasy, just what you want in your bacon.
The Philly cheesesteak fries were yummy, but a little heavier for my taste. Service was slow, but finished product was served hot which I appreciated.

had the pleasure of trying micheles at the Biergarten in Schenectady… they were trying out their new brunch menu… for the first time they had a solid triple… service was fast… food was hot & plentiful… nothing over $ 10…the only miss was the vegetarian fries… a mishmash of cheese black beans etc served over potato fries. a soggy mess better suited after a night of drinking when you have the munchie rather than lunch… on the other hand everyone agreed they’d have the sandwiches again

Great Mac n’ Cheese! Love that it’s not like any other mac n’ cheese and you it’s completely homemade! Their brownies are a bit to sugary for me, but that’s just me. But all in all it was a tasty brownie as well! Next time in Albany I will make sure to see if I find anything else i’d like to try from their menu!

On a tour of the capital building the security crew recommended the food trucks behind the building – we scanned the options and decided on Michele’s We had the Philly Cheese Steak and the pulled pork sandwhich – they and the onion rings were DELICIOUS!

Visited Albany on a recent April weekday and was pleasantly surprised to find four food trucks already in operation at the spot on Washington Ave. at South Swan St. The aroma coming from Michele’s truck was enticing and spotting the crowd waiting in line was all I needed to pick this truck. I ordered the number 6 special — a ginger-​soy glazed salmon filet with wasabi tartar sauce on a fresh bakery roll with homemade french fries. Without exaggeration, this was the best fish sandwich I have ever eaten. The flavors melded together wonderfully, the wasabi gave it just a little kick and the roll was heavenly (I wish I could find rolls half as good as this for my own sandwiches). The fries were wonderful too. A big five-​star thumbs up.
