I gave it one more bite, and even the grilled onions were terribly flavored, how is that possible? Soggy bun, oversalted burger, super dry on the edges, awful flavor. I'm sure I must have caught them on an "off" day, but I won't risk it again. I even had to go to my favorite smashburger joint the next day to "heal" from the experience. I was worried I would be turned off burgers for life. Super sad to have to report this, but I'm somewhat of a burger expert. :( Update: I ordered the Mary Plain Blige on April 28, 2026

We were visiting the area temporarily so we wanted to make sure we stopped by before we left. Our one time visiting has turned into us coming back multiple times, this place is delicious!! We tried the Mac Miller burger which is a burger topped with jalapeño aioli and creamy mac and cheese. You can modify if you'd like a single patty, double (how it comes), or triple. We also got a side of fries. The burger is amazing!! Best burger we have ever had! The crispiest patty and so moist and the mac and cheese is definitely creamy just like it says. We are obsessed! The fries are large enough you can share. We dream about this place now that we are no longer in the area but next time we are we are definitely coming back!

    This evening my wife and I got to try the "WTF" food truck while enjoying a show in the Barkley…read moregreen. We could tell by the size of the line that the food must be great. Inside the truck the team was hard at work dropping fryers and flipping burgers so we didn't have to wait long to place our order. First off, the Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. Breaded chicken, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese, ranch, and of course bacon all placed elegantly between two large golden buns. Very delicious and with Swiss cheese was a unique choice that I appreciated. Next we shared the Cowboy Burger... when I went to pick up our food I knew we had made a great choice. The server handed us a hefty beef burger that was stacked high with cheese, bacon, tomato, pickles and onions rings, smothered in bbq sauce with a crispy onion ring on top to give this burger the golden crown it deserves. Be warned this burger stood almost 8 inches tall. A couple of criticisms I had were that it was difficult to enjoy these delicious burgers on a small food container. I would definitely like to see this food in a brick and mortar restaurant one day so I can properly enjoy these monster burgers. Secondly the fries were very greasy. I know some people may enjoy them but they are not my favorite. In conclusion this was a great food truck and I will definitely have to try some more items on their menu next time!

    Food is always hot served quickly. Love it at Fringe Brewery. Depending on the day will determine…read morewhat I enjoy

    What a great outdoor eating experience, in a fun, DIY environment, with great care taken in food,…read moredrink, service, AND ambiance (beautiful landscaping provided by a renowned local nursery, and fun music ranging from funky R&B to alt and punk) served up from a clean, environmentally friendly (almost everything you eat from is compostable or reusable) shipping container in a bootstrap amusement park. (Whew, that was a long sentence!) Really one of the best burgers I've had in some time. A real old-school burger, that doesn't try to wow you with how huge or exotic it is - seriously, when they handed it to me in the brown paper wrap, I was a little miffed; I mean, $10 (I got the "R&R", the bacon cheeseburger variation) for something the size of a baseball? I thought, "This better be awesome..." It was. Juicy, perfectly cooked grass-fed beef, smash-burger style: thin, crispy at the edges but still pink in the center...topped with smokey bacon just the right size for the patty, gooey cheese, and lovely sauces that just soaked into the pillowy brioche-style bun enough that they only oozed out when I took a bite. It wasn't just good, it was masterful! Washed down with the local house IPA...my friend, I'm telling ya... In disbelief, I went back and ordered their signature burger. Another warm baseball was placed in my hand, wrapped in brown paper, but I eyed this one in anticipation rather than suspicion...would it be as good? Was the first perfect burger just a fluke? Oh, man. You gotta be kidding me. Another picture-perfect burger, this one with still-crisp lettuce, tomato, pickle and onion and a lovely, mildly sweet and tangy sauce that married all the beefy, gooey cheese goodness together and had me reaching for napkin after napkin. I haven't had a burger so good it made me forget my beer in maybe 20 years. Shazam. What beer? Get here and get some of this before someone screws it up. I'm serious. Oh, did I mention they have slushy drinks? And there's mini golf next door? Yep. Premium burgers. Premium Bellingham. Highest recommendation.

This summer, not so enthused. Convinced my husband to try their chicken sandwich ($11) and I ordered the fish sandwich ($13). We were charged $29 & some change. (do the math, which is obviously not their strong suit - more on that later). I was with a group of friends and should have paid more attention the overcharge at the time. When we got our order and walked it over to the wine bar, I had a tasty fish sandwich but on a greasy bun (yuck) and my husband was served a hamburger, not the chicken he ordered. It was a 2 item order and if the ONLY job you have is to get our order correct, just do it. BTW, the burger was $1 less than the chicken so at this point, we were overcharged close to $6. When I went to complain, the line was 20 people long so I just let it go. Today, during the Noisy Waters Festival, we decided to give them another try and I've been hearing how good their tots are. Tots were tasty for sure but barely warm. It was happy hour so we were charged $3.28 instead of $4 (great deal!). I handed the young woman a $5 bill and 3 dimes, saying I didn't need the 2 pennies back. She looked at me, quite bewildered, paused a bit and gave me back my 3 dimes, saying "I don't think this is going to help." I mean, I did save $0.30 but really?!?! It's Basic math!

    Stella Sopra Italian - Best eggplant parm ever!

    If you find yourself anywhere near the Tulip Festival, make sure this spot is on your list…read more During our weekend of tulip sightseeing, Stella Sopra ended up stealing the show. We came for the flowers, but this little food truck parked at Tulip Valley Winery delivered the kind of meal that sticks with you. There's something magical about pairing genuine, well-crafted Italian food with a flight of local wines. Chef Alberto runs the whole operation himself cooking, serving, sharing stories, and making you feel like you've been invited to Sunday lunch at his family's table in Italy. His passion shows in every bite. I've had plenty of eggplant parm over the years, but this one? Best I've ever eaten. Served in a simple plastic container yet unforgettable perfectly balanced sauce pasta cooked just right, and eggplant that was tender and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken mushroom ravioli, and I was tempted to sample half of it. Big, pillowy pasta filled with rich, savory goodness an absolute win! We also split a Caesar salad (because veggie balance is important) and ended on a high note with tiramisu. It was airy, creamy, and just espresso kissed enough to keep you going back for another spoonful. We lingered on the patio glass of wine in hand, soaking up the scenery and wondering how a food truck in the middle of tulip country had turned into one of our favorite dining experiences in ages. The Stella Sopra truck travels between Bellingham and Mount Vernon. If you see it parked anywhere don't overthink it. Order whatever catches your eye. You'll definitely leave happy.
