Chewy’s Food Truck

Chewy’s worked the after party at my wedding this past weekend and they were AWESOME! The food came out quick, and hot, and was of very high quality– think yummy comfort food that brings you back to your childhood, but well made with high quality ingredients. I really cannot say enough, we couldn’t have been more pleased. A testament to their awesomeness: we ran out of grilled cheese so they started making grilled cheese on sandwich buns to keep our guests happy. Seriously you guys rock, come to NYC!

Chewy’s was a hit backstage at the Forbes Under 30 Music Festival! Their tots, veggie burgers, and wings were all amazing and kept our attendees going back for more! We were so happy and proud to have them on board.

Chewy’s catered my wedding last weekend, and I can’t say enough good things about Charlie and his team! Our guests were so impressed by all they food they served — especially the shrimp roll and the honey Sriracha wings. People are still raving about them almost a week later!

The best of the best! Charlie and his crew are by far the best in the business! We hired them to cater a party of 80 and the food was made fresh from scratch and heavenly delicious! Everyone raved about the food but the best part for me was the incredible service! Charlie is a dream to work with!
Everything I’ve tasted is perfection! Shrimp roll is probably my favorite, but the burger and brisket and pulled pork could easily stand up to any one in the city!
Catch him in Love park, or at the night market, but whatever you do, don’t mis out! If you’re interested in catering, definitely check them out!

Chewy’s was one of the two food options at a wedding I just attended and it was incredible! I wanted to save some room for desert so I had the Sriracha Honey chicken wings and they were some of the best wings I’ve ever had! The staff was great and friendly, and the food was just down right awesome! Well done!

My office had Chewy’s come to cater a lunch for our employees. First off, the food was so delicious! They had a ton of food with a bunch of items on the menu to satisfy everyone’s taste buds!
Charlie and his team were great to work with! They made the process very easy and enjoyable. We hope to set up another lunch soon and would recommend Chewy’s to anyone!

I was lucky enough to try Chewy’s at a catered event so I got to do a little extra menu sampling.
I started with the pulled pork sandwich. It was made with apple slaw, Carolina BBQ sauce and had a side of fries. I was impressed at how much meticulous effort went into each sandwich. They weren’t sitting in the back of the truck readymade. The meat was presumably cooked already but then the sandwich was assembled and the sauce was added. It took a little longer to get this food than most trucks I’ve been to, but I’ll wait a little bit for my food if there’s so much TLC behind the preparation. The sandwich was tasty, but I would have preferred if the meat and the sauce had spent some time marinating together. It was served on a hamburger bun. I would have preferred a nicer, more fun bun.
The sandwiches came with sweet potato fries which were crisp and tasty. I think they were supposed to come with Cajun sauce but no one got any.
What impressed me the most was the veggie burger! I was originally going to order that first, but was dissuaded by a few of the condiments. The onions were mixed in with mushrooms and I cannot stand mushrooms. There was also a spicy mustard, which I also despise, and I wasn’t in the mood to have a dry sandwich. I ordered the veggie patty without bun, without the onions & mushrooms, but then unfortunately forgot to say without the mustard.
After doing some major mustard removal with a napkin, the veggie burger was almost ready to be eaten. A coworker dripped a little honey sriracha sauce from her wings onto my burger. Can I just say OMG! Ok, so this was an amazing eggplant patty topped with this amazing sweet and savory sauce. I wish Chewy’s had more of an ability to do special orders because I would track this truck down for this combo and probably put this sauce on anything I ever order.
So in short, Chewy’s puts excellent care and effort into their products and has an absolutely killer veggie burger & honey sriracha sauce.

Had the pulled pork while at Yards Brewery. Awesome sandwich with an amazing slaw. Will definitely be checking in with his truck more. Great job guys! D-​HEAD Approves!

My boyfriend and I decided to get some wings here after we saw some other people eating them at the manayunk food trucks. I don’t remember the line being terribly long and I honestly didn’t even look at anything else on the menu. But the wings were great! They were honey siracha, and I could probably dip anything in the sauce and it still be fantastic. Also they gave us a side of pickles. And I’m a sucker for pickles.

Well I’ll start off by saying if he’s selling the honey sririacha chicken, you have to try it! One of the best chicken dishes these mobile restaurants can offer. Also would highly recommend the pork sandwich. To me though, the experience of eating off this truck is what puts it at the top. Charlie (aka chewy) is a great guy and makes your visit to his truck a great experience. Dude always has a smile on his face, and that is the X factor that some of these other miserable truckers lack.

Great food; but one suggestion: while I realize you want to provide fast service, food that’s been sitting (like the tasty sriracha chicken I had today) on cold days is quite cold. Give the customer a choice — ask of they want to wait or what’s been under the warmer. Thanks.

These guys are never at their location. Not only that but they do not update their website to let customers know where they will be. Good food, terrible management of business.

Another lunch from a LOVE Park truck this week, and I am happy but not too enthusiastic about my burger and tots.
2 man team behind the counter tried to keep things moving along but with one grilling and one doing everything else kinda slowed things down when the orders were coming in strong.
Today there were 5 choices for burgers and I picked the least favorite if the day which was the Blue Burger. It had onions, mushrooms, bleu cheese, and greens with a balsamic fig reduction.
I got my burger and tots (Ore Ida out of the bag?) and went back to my desk after putting some ketchup on the tots.
The burger, although tasty, was lacking in something which I could not place. The patty was a little small for the brioche bun it was on. There were not enough onions but the mushrooms were outstanding! The greens came out of bag salad and the reduction was weak with no fig flavor.
Overall, just eh. Eh for the generic tots, too.
A much more outstanding burger with homemade ketchup and better ingredients can be had at the Lucky Old Souls truck. If you see that truck, go there instead.
$ 8 total for the burger which came with the tots.

I am sad to say that the veggie burger left me very unenthusiastic.
I see many others enjoyed it, so perhaps I got the bottom of the barrel/​end of the day burger?
Here’s my beef (pun totally intended).
When I think of a veggie burger, I think of beans, veggies, grains. A little crunch on the edges, big flavor. So when what I received was a mushy, visually unappealing patty of eggplant and breadcrumbs, I was bummed. Though it was on a lovely toasted sesame seed bun, some mixed greens, and avocado/​tomato/​onion, which was the only source of flavor and vibrancy.
While it certainly wasn’t the best veggie burger I had ever had, I sense that the food is made with love– so I’d be curious to see how they execute their other menu item.
I hear good things about the tots.

I stopped by unexpectedly while walking by «The Porch» at 30^th Street station at about 9:30 AM on my way to work.
I ordered a «Cali» (BLT with avocado and a deicious lemon/​lime mayo that really added a pleasant brightness). Menu said $ 4.50 but she only asked me for $ 3.50.
Sweet gal on the truck!
So very pleased.
I can’t wait to try their burgers.

I’ll preface this by saying my day has been unusually craptastic.
This is one of the only food trucks that I’ve seen at Love Park that don’t take credit cards or Level Up, so I had to run back across the street to get money before I could order. This truck is surrounded by people, so I figure it has to have some good shit on it. Chicken and waffles are on the menu, that’s a good sign, right? Order a burger. 20 minutes later (no shit, at a food truck?) I get it and the spicy fries. Smells good.
I sit down near the fountain and hope a stoner sits next to me and lights up so I can feel better. Or at least a wino that will give me a swig of Steel Reserve. I eat some fries, tasty. Go to unwrap the burger, it starts pouring. I want to blame the truck, I won’t.
I dash back to work, open the burger, looks great! Can’t remember the name but bbq sauce, cole slaw, yummy. Take a bite, good taste, then I look down. Pink. You can almost see the squiggles (ground beef squiggles, you know what I’m talking about). Seriously? I tried to microwave it cooked, but I was defeated.
Didn’t even want the fries anymore. I’m out $ 10, still hungry and wet. And not in the good way either.
Now that I think about it, they’re really lucky I didn’t eat it at the park. They would have been scrubbing raw meat out of the truck for days.

I almost didn’t want to write this review because my feelings on Chewy feel very average. If there were half stars, I’d give them a smack in the middle rating of 2.5. But I was feeling generous, so I bumped it up to 3. You’re welcome.
Why was it average?
Average burger. Meat was tasty. Nothing special. Decent sized patty.
Average bun. One of those sesame rolls. Not a bad meat-​to-​bun ratio.
Average toppings. I got the diablo, which had guac, lettuce, pico de gallo, and a chipotle mayo.
Average tater tots. I love me some tots. They were generic.
Average price. I ate at a special event, so I didn’t pay. I believe people said the burger goes for $ 6, tots for $ 2?
Average service. Burger came out quick (it wasn’t made to order). Guys working the truck were friendly.
I feel like this is the most unhelpful review ever. Sorry!!! BUT I will say that if you are nearby Chewy’s definitely check them out for a burger that will fulfill a burger craving but won’t change your life.

This is one of my favorite food trucks in Philly, and even though it’s a little out of the way for me, I make it a point to come here for lunch about once every other week. For $ 6 a pop, you get a perfectly cooked (i.e. not overdone! I hate when burgers are overdone) burger served to you by Charlie, one of the friendliest food truck owners around. My favorite at this truck is probably the kimchi burger. It’s not spicy, but it is extremely messy — be prepared with napkins! Other favorites are the cajun and the diablo.
The burgers are a bit on the smaller side and sometimes leave me wishing I had ordered a second, but they’re amazingly delicious nonetheless. Unfortunately, they’re only open when Drexel is in school, which I learned the hard way once when I went to their usual spot in mid-​September and they weren’t there… it was quite tragic. I also wish they were open for dinner too, but for now I guess I’ll have to get my Chewy’s fixes for lunch only.

The only real flaw to Chewy’s is that its burgers are of the small slider variety. But they make up for the small size by being extra big on flavor. And now that they added fried chicken and waffles into the mix I might just be sold for the long run!
Whether you go for beef, turkey, or veggie patties its fresh toppings provide you with some admirable possibilities. The blue cheese burger is loaded with mushrooms and carmelized onions. pico de gallo, cheddar cheese, and a chipotle sauce sit upon the Diablo burger. The Kimchi Burger spices things up with cabbage and red pepper paste. And the Toga cools things down with tapenade, feta cheese, and yogurt sauce.
Chewy’s also offers impressive extras like tater tots (and buffalo tots with crumbled bacon), delicious fries, and fresh made waffles. And they even deliver some big hot dog and breakfast sandwich options!

Chewy’s is utter deliciousness.
Yesterday was their opening day. I stopped by, primarily because there is some serious lacking of quality lunch trucks in the area and I was craving something delicious.
I stopped out front and took a look at their lunch menu. They have several different kinds of gourmet burgers and sides. Their French Fries are homemade and garnished with a sprinkling of sea salt. Their Buffalo Tots are served with bacon, ranch dressing, cheesewiz and buffalo.
After the burger I had yesterday, I decided to go back today and have it again. I ordered the Kimchi burger which is awesome! The burger is seasoned and grilled to your liking. It comes topped with kimchi, sesame oil, cheddar cheese and a spicy korean peppery spread. The burger is delicious.
I will be back to Chewy’s many, many times.
The other big allure, other than the delicious food and reasonable prices, is the passion and dedication that is seen in the gentlemen that work the truck. They aren’t playing around, to them this is a pride and passion. They take lunch truck food to the next level.
Good Luck Chewy’s…I wish you continued success!
