My second favorite food truck in DC! They come by the Westend by my job weekly. You can get three of the same balls or a combo. I usually get one veggie, one chicken and one traditional. Their sides are all amazing and the portion size is huge!!! Plus the people that run the truck are so friendly and nice and great with names

The Service: I have been to the food truck and the brick and mortar location in Brookland (which unfortunately is closed) and I would say that the Ball or Nothing service is great! They are pretty quick and the wait is never long unless they are really busy, but still fast compared to other food trucks. The Food: I love all of the unique meatball flavors and sides that Ball or Nothing has. The BBQ meatball usually has a kick but pairs well with the mac and cheese. I also recommend the brussels sprouts which has nuts and is on the sweeter side. I have tried the classic meatball and the polenta which are also pretty solid. A lot of my friends like their salad, which has seasonal flavors. Overall, Ball or Nothing is definitely my go-to food truck and I hope they bring back a brick and mortar location!

Top-notch, filling food-to-go, and now my favorite food truck in Washington DC. I love that they serve a large heaping of the excellent, freshly-prepared sides to complement their "balls". And I'm definitely a "ball" eater now. I got the vegetarian "balls", which are substantive and tasty without being spicy. They come smothered in a lovely italian tomato-sauce and some parmesan-romano cheese...this alone is rather tasty. Many people at the farmer's market fell for the spicy kale-ricotta or the mac-and-cheese side dish, but I went for the dressed, broiled sprouts topped with walnuts. Oh wow, utterly nice to chew, with lots of grilled, juicy flavor, and crunch. Next time I'm going to indulge in their sweet potato or their mac 'n cheese side. Find this truck, stalk this truck and eat your "balls". Such good value for a heaping of proper food!

Ball or Nothing officially won me over. From their friendly service from the second you walk up to place your order, to their delicious meatballs and sides. Ball or Nothing has what it takes! Since I skipped the lunch rush, there was no line when I approached the truck. I asked the lady if I could do the 3 meatball + 2 sides combo (~$12) with each meatball being a different flavor, and she said yes. So I got one vegan, bbq chicken, and a classic. She was more than happy to recommend me here favorite sides, and so I decided to go for the mac-n-cheese with brussel sprouts. Roughly eight minutes later, my named was called and I got a piping hot to-go box. I found a spot nearby and dug in. I took a bite out of the brussels sprouts and was pleasantly surprised how good they were! PACKED with flavor. The candied walnuts balanced the flavor perfectly. The mac-n-cheese was good too, but the brussels sprouts really complemented the meatballs well. My favorite ball? The vegan! Out of the three, it was the one that really stood out to me. So on my next visit, I know I'm grabbing the vegan balls with a side of brussels sprouts. Overall, I definitely got a bang for my buck and would come back again!

I have been to this truck three times now. The first time was on accident when I discovered it on the square near my job. Its colorful menu got my attention. You have three meatballs to choose from... you can either get one of each, get three of one, or mix and match as you please! The three meatballs I usually see are Regular, Vegan, and BBQ Chicken... I have seen other flavors... a while back I believe one had blueberry! After you pick your meatballs, you have to pick two items from the sides, which include cauliflower, beet & goat cheese salad, mac & cheese, polenta, collard greens... I have had all of those at least once, and I have never been disappointed. The meatballs are flavorful, and the little tray they give the food is definitely filled up as much as it can be. The staff have always been polite. My most recent time (today) I walked 8 blocks to get to this truck! It isn't around much, so I was excited to see it on the list today.. and I wouldn't walk that far just for anywhere. Thank goodness the weather was nice! I was surprised to see no line there... but that just made my service all the better! I got three BBQ chicken meatballs with two salads as my sides: the beet & goat cheese one, and a new one I've never seen before -- honeycrisp apple salad with toasted almonds. The apple-almond ratio was heavily skewed, but that wasn't a dealbreaker for me. My only problem with this truck is that when compared to others, this place is a little pricy because the average is $9-$10 and the meals here are $12. I would be lying if I said it wasn't worth it. I deserve to treat myself sometimes!

Wow just wow. I've seen and heard about this food truck for a while now. I've never been eager or interested to eat meatballs for lunch. I happened to stop here and figured I'd give this place a try with all delicious sides they offered. I got the vegetarian meatballs with sides of Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. Best Mac and cheese I've ever had!!! Food and ridiculously good. Ingredients were fresh, and thoughtful out together. Inventive and creative. Portions are generous, so come hungry. My only grip was cost. It was definitely a splurge for lunch. Will definitely come back again so I can try all their sides. They should have a meal option that is sides only!

I tried this place for the first time back in 2014 and was absolutely blown away by how good it was. Unfortunately, due to my change in job location, I was never near any of the areas that the truck goes to for lunch hours - VERY TRAGIC :( Fortunately, I got a new job downtown and I am able to have this delicious food much more often for lunch :) Service is great and quick, they give out rewards card which is a HUGE plus! I'm close to filling mine! My go to is getting the beef meatballs and mac and cheese. I alternate between different vegetable options. For this particular time I got the roasted sweet potatoes which weren't bad I think next time I will try the brussells sprouts. They really fill up the container - the food is delicious and homemade - I highly recommend for lunch! They have vegetarian/vegan options and always have a chicken meatball option. Also, if you're a committed foodie (like myself), set up tweet notifications on Twitter so see where the truck is daily ;)

4.5 stars. Hands down, one of the better trucks out there. Also a little more pricey than some of the trucks out there (3 meatballs & two sides go for $11), but I think it's worth it. It's been ages since I'd had Ball or Nothing and previously I remember eating their chili and liking it a lot. That was at least 6 months ago, probably more - so when they showed up at State Department this past Thursday (and after this visit, for the next month I see myself eating there every Thursday) I was excited and noticed they had a revamped menu since I'd last visited. To get a taste of a number of menu items, I ordered the BBQ chicken meatballs, macaroni and cheese, and mascarpone cheese polenta (carb overload!) and my coworker ordered the classic meatballs with collard greens and roasted cauliflower. The portions were extremely generous. I was able to eat two of my meatballs, some of my polenta, and some of my macaroni and cheese - this could have easily been two lunches and I'll remember that for next time. My coworker reported feeling satisfied and not stuffed and managed to eat his entire lunch. You can tell that this stuff is made with very fresh ingredients. My meatballs were perfectly cooked and sat on a velvety base of polenta, which went really well with the BBQ sauce. I didn't taste an overwhelming flavor of mascarpone, which was just fine with me, I prefer a more mild polenta, and again, the meatball sauce went very nicely. My macaroni and cheese was a surprise - fusilli pasta with a nice, mild cheese sauce and a sprinkling of parmesean. Both sides were prepared beautifully. My coworker reported that his meatballs were also perfectly cooked and accompanied by a "delightful" marinara sauce. He loved the flavor of the collard greens but had two minor complaints - 1) the greens weren't very well cut-up and it was a bit difficult to eat with a plastic fork and knife and 2) they were tough. He also noted that they were a bit spicy, so the spice-adverse should be aware of that. As for the cauliflower - cooked perfectly, although he said that the flavor of the (sesame?) oil shined through more than the flavor of the cauliflower itself. The price and the few nitpicks are the only reason they aren't getting 5 stars from me - but who knows, after a few more visits, I might change my mind!

Once again, another great food truck experience here in DC! I've walked past this one many times, always smiling and saying to myself"What a cool name!", blue end up opting for something else. But on this day I decided to give it a try . . . . and boy am I glad I did. I opted for 2 traditional meatballs and one buffalo chicken meatball with roasted cauliflower and mac n cheeses sides. Let me tell you, "It was delicious!". And I didn't even get to enjoy it hot. Something came up at the office and my lunch sat for a while. Sure I could have microwaved it but I was pressed for time. If it was this good just warmish, I'm looking forward to the next time. Sure you might spend a couple dollars more than at the other trucks (The meal should maybe be priced at $10 instead of $12 inleeping with most other trucks in the area and it would probably increase their sales considerably.) but it's worth it.

Ball or Nothing clearly doesn't need my five stars but here they are anyways because this food truck is really good! It caught my eye with a unique, inventive menu that offers meat, veggie and vegan options. And the list of sides, impressive! Then add to the fact that it's not a sandwich shop like almost every other food truck in the line and I was sold. I ordered the regular meatballs with brussel sprouts (sweet and sauted with pecans) and summer squash (savory, on a bed of dandelion greens). Everything was fresh and flavorful. I appreciated how my squash was carefully divided from the rest of the food by a piece of wax paper. My friend, who ordered veggie balls with the brussels and polenta had her meatballs and sauce placed on top of the polenta - a tasty and thoughtful presentation. Price is a little high for a food truck ($12.10, including tax), but you're getting a TON of a food and it's really filling and tasty. So worth it! Hoping to see them parked again at L'Enfant soon.

Whoa, that's a top five DC comfort food meal. I've missed the mark so many times on food trucks. But these guys need a store front. I had the meatballs, Mac, and cauliflower. It paired so nicely into this creamy ball of joy in my mouth!

I'm always down to try out trucks I haven't been to and this truck seems like it has a nice variety of choices...but mostly choices of sides and not balls. I got 1 classic ball and 2 chicken Buffalo blue balls. Upon opening the container, blue balls is certainly what I got. For the hefty price, I was expecting much bigger balls to put in my mouth. Given that, the food was still delicious. If it weren't for the meatballs, they might be a good vegetarian option. I got Mac and cheese which was creamy using larger loop pasta. I also got local squash with honey which sounded weird at first, but the sweetness worked. Overall, it was pricey and not enough balls.

After having lunch here today, I get why they were named a best of DC food joint! Not knowing exactly what I would be eating by ordering the balls, I got the buffalo.chicken and vegetarian balls, along with Mac and cheese and watermelon feta salad. As soon as I opened my plate, I knew I had made the best decision of the day! The balls, especially the vegetarian one, was chock full of flavor and left me wanting more. The mac and cheese? Holy crap, it was devine!!! I could have had an entire container of that and been in hog heaven! I think I made a great choice with the watermelon and feta cheese salad as it was very refreshing and a great end to my meal. I will definitely be looking to make that at home first lunch! Great experience at a great price! I will definitely look out for this truck the next time I'm in DC!
