Food Freaks

When food trucks come to Brewer’s Kettle in Kernersville, we try to come out and support food coming to us. Evidently Food Freaks has enough of a following that the announcement «Food Freaks; need we say more» was sufficient to generate a line.
Hubs got the Food Freak House (bacon jam, cheddar, BBQ aioli) and fries. His one-​bite-​in reaction was «Oh! Oh! Oh you have GOT to try this.»
I went for the Mel (bacon jam, jalapeño pimento cheese, Sriracha chili mayo) and apple rings, although I really wanted to try the Elvis (bacon jam, bourbon apples, cheddar, pb chutney). The apple rings are to die for, a lovely crisply battered ring of tart Granny Smith in a luscious caramel drizzle.
Five stars for the food, three for the interminable wait (about 45 min) made worse because the gent in the window took a number of orders and those in the masses had no way of knowing how many were ahead of them or how long it would take.

I had heard about this food truck from my husband and some other friends who raved about their burgers, so when we came across them at a recent food truck festival in Kernersville, I had to try them… I was not disappointed! Best burger I have ever had, hands down! I was skeptical at first because of all the hype but that burger blew my mind. The apple rings were delicious as well! I can’t speak for anything else on their menu as I’ve only had the one cheeseburger and their Apple rings, but I will definitely be a repeat customer. The only downfall is that their wait time can be a little lengthy, but their burgers are so awesome, I’m giving them 5 stars anyway. If you come across this food truck and don’t mind a little wait time, I absolutely recommend them!

Painful, food truck Friday, September 18^th. Food order was a single burger, which took over an hour and 20 minutes to deliver??? What the hell? How do u let someone place an order if you know it’s going to take this long. Regardless of the flavor or quality of the food, there is no excuse for that sort of a wait!!!
Never again!!!

OMG! These burgers are sheer heaven on earth, I have not had a better burger. The bacon jam is to die for and the apple rings are amazing! If you see this truck, make sure you get in line, it’s well worth the usual wait!

We ran into this place at Potent Potables in Jamestown and I was pretty excited about the novelty of a stuffed burger. I chose the brew master — a burger stuffed with beer brats, swiss cheese, and kraut and served with a spicy mustard. Initially, I loved it.
As I’ve thought about this experience more, I’ve decided this place really wasn’t much better than five guys. The buns are pretty meh. The burger is sufficient. I don’t think this is a place I would seek out again. I know there’s an excitement about food trucks but there are certainly food trucks doing high quality unique food, instead of trading on gluttony.

Oh my gosh– this food truck! WOW! I was lucky enough to find Food Freaks at the new Foothills Tasting Room over the weekend. There were three of us hanging out and we all decided to try a different burger, so between us we had the Godfather (mine), the Mel, and the Elvis. The Godfather was recommended by the chef as one of his favorites, so I knew I had made a good decision. SO delicious! The burger was tender and juicy. The Godfather is filled with Italian sandwich meats– pepperoni and salami, perhaps? The cheese and fancy mayo spread balance everything out perfectly. Quite possibly one of the best burgers I have ever had! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Between the three of us, we also split the fry basket and an order of the apple rings. Both were just, like WHOAH. The fries were covered with chili, cheese, and a delicious sauce that I wish I could put on basically everything for the rest of my life. The fries are thick cut and perfectly cooked. I think thick cut is a good call since it has to support all those delicious toppings and condiments. And the apple rings… SO delicious! Fried perfectly crispy, with a nice caramel-​type sauce on them. What a delicious dessert! No matter how full you are, save room for the apples. Totally worth it!
Overall, this food truck was amazing! The food was absolutely incredible and the service was pretty fast. The chef was super friendly and even came over before packing up to leave to make sure that we didn’t want to order anything else. Enjoying the delicious food should be enough to convince anyone to try this out, but friendly service makes me want to become a regular!

You’ve got to track this truck down. Absolutely killer burgers and the Crispy Apple Rings are delicious. I plan on working my way through their menu. The Wild Mexi had a nice kick with fresh jalapeños, andouille sausage and Gouda cheese. But after to talking to regulars while waiting for my burger, I think I will try the Godfather next time. Can’t wait to eat another burger from these guys. They are the best in town!

Grabbed a puff mento burger with fries at triple c brewery, and was shocked how good the burgers were. A definite must if they come by wherever your at. On point.

Now here is a burger you can get freaky about. After stopping by NoDa brewery, we found this food truck parked out back and decided to try it, and boy, were we glad we did.
The burgers were huge and and about as gourmet as they come. After having the best burger and fries of my life my biggest complaint is having to wait for them to return to Charlotte. It looks like they only come about once a month to NoDa. If the owners read this, we need you back sooner — please don’t make us wait!!!

My sister and I found these guys at the Dixie Classic Fair and whoa were we blown away! They are a food truck based out of Moresville, NC. They post their locations weekly on their Facebook page.
They have the best burgers I have EVER had. They hand make everything to order. These gargantuan burgers are like nothing you’ve ever had. They have unique flavors, stuffing, and toppings. The last one I ordered had a fig and jalapeño jam, topped with a fried egg, and was stuffed with queso fresco and sausage. Need I say more?
They hand cut their «fries,» which are also huge and delightful. The burgers are all $ 8 and worth every single penny. The sides are around $ 3-​$ 5, and they offer the most amazing crispy sweet apple rings drizzled with a homemade caramel sauce. This place is all around AMAZING!

This truck comes to the gravel lot on 4^th Street across from 751 W. 4^th on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Omigoodness is it delicious. Rhythm & Blues burger was so good, not sloppy and hard to eat, which I liked. Fried apple rings are good — needed to share with a friend. I’m a fan.

This past Saturday, we headed to The Brewer’s Kettle so we could check out Food Freaks. Their Pickle Dog was a tangy dill spear wrapped in pastrami and cheese sauce before being battered and deep-​fried. This crispy bundle was served with a zesty chili mustard sauce perfect for dipping.
Food Freaks juicy stuffed burgers are hand-​pattied from fresh ground beef and grilled until they have a nice char on the outside. We started with a burger called Rhythm and Bleu that had recently been added to the Food Freaks menu. The burger was stuffed with salty feta, pungent bleu cheese, sweet bacon jam, and a spicy Sriracha mayonnaise. This was an in-​your-​face, stand-​up-​and-​be-​noticed burger. We paid attention! The Rhythm and Bleu was our favorite burger of the day.
Next we dug into The Godfather. The Garlic Basil Pesto gave it tons of flavor. Stuffed with Italian meats and Mozzarella cheese, this was almost like two meals in one. The Wild Mexi was stuffed with chunks of chorizo sausage, large pieces of jalapeño peppers, cheese and a creamy aioli sauce.
No matter how full you are, make room for the Crispy Apple Rings whenever you see this food truck. They are incredible. The sliced Granny Smith apples go into a cinnamon batter before they are deep-​fried to give them a perfect crisp crust. Then they cover the apples in a homemade caramel sauce.
We tracked Food Freaks down for lunch on Thursday at the Piedmont Plaza. We had a bit of a wait for our food, but it was worth it. We were expecting great things from the burgers but what surprised us was how crispy, salty and fantastic their fries were.
The first burger we had for lunch that day was the Puff Mento Burger. If you aren’t sure about all of the different stuffing combinations and don’t know what to try, this straightforward burger is for you. Use two hands and lots of napkins to eat this pimento cheese, bacon stuffed Southern bad boy.
Next we tried the Elvis. It was stuffed with apples, bacon, cheddar cheese, sweet bourbon sauce, and a banana-​peanut butter chutney. This one was too sweet for us. We like to cut the sugar in peanut butter with a hot pepper topping but don’t let that deter you from giving it a try. Our last Food Freaks burger was The Shroom Burger. The juicy patty was loaded with mushrooms, red peppers and a wicked amount of Swiss cheese.
The unique stuffed burgers and Crispy Apple Rings from Food Freaks blew us away. For more details about our two visits to Food Freaks, visit our Food and Brew Review blog at
