I completely forgot that I had brought my lunch to work today and instead went out. Lucky for me Love Park had the Foolish Waffles Truck because I had one of the best meals I've had in a while. There were five others waiting for their orders, and I gazed at the menu. I've always heard of chicken and waffles, but have never tried it. This was my choice. I chose wisely. The boneless fried chicken breast was light and delicate and not greasy. The slaw was not too dry or runny with sauce. The candied jalapeño peppers should have been more plentiful on top, but I liked the slices I got. The waffle, although not crunchy or crispy, and actually a little mushed, had outstanding flavor and surprisingly complemented the chicken and slaw. I was blown away how good it was and a decent sized portion. They have others like an Italian, and a Vietnamese version of waffles with stuff. Additionally, that have the sweet waffles with fruit toppings. This was a definite 5-star lunch today! $12 for the fried chicken and waffles. I posted a picture of it and the menu with the prices of the day. read more

Tried this food truck for the first time. I was told how amazing it was. I must say, I agree with the food being amazing. They put plenty of chicken on the waffle and the waffle and chili honey were very tasty. I do wish I added syrup, because the honey had evaporated into the waffle by the time I walked back to eat. I did deduct a star because we waited over twenty minutes for our food to cook. This is problematic when on a lunch break from work. I wish there was a way to call in the order beforehand and pick it up. They do take credit cards, with a $0.50 fee. I would def try it again, but would be prepared for the long wait. read more

This is definitely one of the most interesting food trucks I've encountered in Philly. The waffles may be foolish, but there is method to their madness. The waffles are Belgian style, with more of a bounce to their texture than regular waffles. The menu listed 8 delicious varieties (both sweet and savory), and I had to try very hard to resist getting them all at once. I ended up with 2 kinds: a savory and a sweet (for dessert). The Crispy Chicken & Waffle ($9) was great. The boneless buttermilk fried chicken was crispy, topped with a sweet glaze, cabbage slaw, and jalapeno slices. The size was good for lunch, and it was an interesting rendering of chicken and waffles. The waffle texture was softer so it could wrap around the contents. The Liege waffle ($5) was also conceptually great, albeit a bit dry and tough. My guess is that the one I received was not completely fresh, but I imagine if I did have a fresh one (especially with some of the sweet toppings listed) it would be amazing, as it is encrusted by a partially caramelized layer of sugar. I would definitely try to come back earlier in the day to try to get a fresh Liege waffle. read more

OMG OMG OMG!!!!! So this was totally worth the 45min-hour wait in the drizzling rain. Came back again last week because I saw that they were only in Love Park once this month, so I had to jump at the opportunity. I went all out and ordered 2 different types of waffle. One dessert and the other savory! Banh Mi pork belly waffle - probably the best waffle I have ever ever eaten in my life. The waffle with slaw, sriracha, jalepanos, creamy sauce, and the flavorful pork belly was HEAVEN. I devoured it. I first tried to eat it like a sandwich by picking it up, but it kinda fell apart, so I grabbed a fork. The fork wasn't getting it into my mouth fast enough, so back to the hands! I did not care how messy it got, I just cared about how wonderful it tasted in my mouth. Sweet n Salty waffle - Again, it was delicious, but after eating the banh mi waffle, I couldn't even finish half. The saltyness and sweetness of the bacon toffee was perfect with the marsacpone whip topping. This is def a waffle to eat by itself because it is very filling. Can't wait to go back!!! Drooling just writing this. read more

The pork belly banh mi waffle is soo stupid good! I am the biggest opponent of Asian fusion but Foolish Waffles has managed to prove me wrong. The fresh waffle and seared pork belly totally school the traditional crumbly baguette and ambiguous meat product. Even though the banh mi is highly altered, you still get the iconic pickled veggies and sliced jalapenos. It is an elevated version of the banh mi that is actually better than the original. Yeah, I went there. Of course, it's impossible to have perfect food come out of a truck. The waffle was flavorless and became soggy after 10 minutes. While the pickled red cabbage was a nice touch, it needed to be pickled longer to stand up to the savory pork belly and spicy jalapeno slices. Overall though it was excellent. I cannot wait to come back to try the chicken and waffles! read more

Foolish Waffles - pork belly banh mi waffle - Food Trucks Near Me

This review is limited to Foolish Waffles's fried chicken sandwich. It had been a few years since I'd had a version of this and was eager to try theirs. If you're like me, when you first think of a fried chicken waffle sandwich, you're hoping for crispy, juicy, flavorful chicken atop a lightly crisp waffle. This one checked all the boxes. The chicken was perfectly fried and very crunchy outside, with a nice seasoning but, in my opinion, just a little too sweet. I'd have hoped for a little more spice to offset what I think was intended to be something reminiscent of maple syrup; it wasn't overpowering by any means, but to me needed a spicy counterbalance. Yes, there are pickled jalapeno slices, but that doesn't quite do it, so add some of their hot sauce they offer on the side. The chicken was perfectly cooked and not the least bit dry. And the coleslaw was a great accompaniment. The waffle itself was very good, and particularly light. These kinds of waffle sandwiches are always hard to eat because the waffle breaks apart as you eat it and isn't really foldable to begin with, and that was the case here, but I'm young, I can handle life's challenges like this. I'd definitely try some of their other offerings, especially the salmon or dessert waffles. The banh mi, though, I'm dubious! read more

Foolish Waffles - Fried chicken waffle - Food Trucks Near Me

I'm going to have to give this place a near perfect rating. It's 5 stars in the realm of nouveau riche hipsters food trucks but compared to your classic center city food carts its slightly behind in terms of value. I got the pork belly bahn mi waffle. A.) because how often do you get pork belly and b.) how often does something bahn mi style. It was an excellent spicy savory sweet. I recommend loads of syrup on it. I originally tried to knife and fork this but a friend suggested to fold it and eat it which worked wonders. read more

Foolish Waffles - $5 I think, pork belly bahn mi - Food Trucks Near Me

Foolish Waffles is a roaming food truck that spends most of its time in Center City, Chestnut Hill, and East Falls. Their specialty is obviously waffles, but nothing like the waffles you eat for breakfast. I came here last Friday for lunch when you can find them parked at Love Park in Center City. I got here shortly after 12:00pm and there was already a decent amount of people at the truck. I could tell right off the bat that this was clearly a popular spot for lunch. I did some research on the truck beforehand and knew that they had an item on their menu called the Fried Chicken and Waffle. I've been aware of the chicken and waffles trend for quite some time but can honestly say that I've never tried this combination for myself. I'm not sure why but I'm guessing it just didn't peak my interest when I first heard about it back in college. After I saw this item at the top of their menu and read some of the reviews online, I figured it was finally time to give this a try. This appears to be one of the most popular items on their menu because the next three people to arrive ordered it as well. While $12.00 seemed a little pricey at the time, the size of their portions makes it all worth it. I think I waited about 10 to 15 minutes for my food, but there were a few other people waiting ahead of me so it didn't seem like that long. When I sat down to eat, I was very impressed with the presentation. On top of the waffle were fried chicken thighs glazed with chili honey. On top of that was a pile of coleslaw and pickled jalapeños. Chicken and waffles was interesting enough but coleslaw and jalapeños take it to the next level. I've been told the best way to eat chicken and waffles is to make sure you're combining the two with each bite. The waffle was light and fluffy, just like a waffle should be, but the chicken was what really blew me away. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the perfect combination of sweet and savory when you factor in the chili honey. Combine this with the coleslaw and jalapeños and you've got yourself a very interesting combination. Foolish Waffles is not afraid to be unique, and looking at their menu will give you an idea of what they're all about. If you like Italian food, the Hot Eye-Talian is likely right up your alley. If you like preparing cheese plates for social gatherings, check out Cheesus Take the Wheel. I know for a fact that I want to try the Tropical Delight because the description reminds me of a tropical vacation, something we all need in the middle of winter. They have a few "create your own" options as well where you can order waffles with any number of sweet toppings. Foolish Waffles is a food truck I would recommend to just about anyone. Whether you prefer sweet, savory, or any combination of both, you're bound to find something you like on the menu. After one visit, you'll realize waffles were meant for a lot more than just maple syrup. read more

The Foolish Waffle truck comes to my neighborhood once a week for our local farmer's market. I was a little hesitant to go at first, but tried my first Wagle a couple of weeks ago. Now, I'm hooked and try to go every week it's nearby. My go-to is the everything wagle with cream cheese, cucumbers, and pickled veggies. It's tasty, light, and the perfect brunch food. Hands down, Foolish is the best weekend breakfast/brunch spot in our neighborhood. Their Vendy award is very well deserved. read more

Pretty good portions and flavors out of this truck. We had the bahn mi (pork belly) and the fried chix waffles at the truck at the Wissahickon brewery. For some reason things were a little cold, including thr waffle, on a fairly hot day. The flavors were not bad, but everything could have been a little better tasting. Not sure what exactly to point out... It probably will not be my first choice in trucks, but is definitely not bad. read more

The Foolish Waffles truck has been a staple at the Porch at 30th for a long time now. The menu has a great variety of sweet and savory options. Whether you're looking for a meal or a little snack, there's something to satisfy all levels of hunger. For a little snack, I enjoying doing the Brussels waffles with a little Nutella or some berries. For a savory treat, the Bahn Mi Pork Belly with the black pepper glaze and sriracha will satisfy it. Or if you're indecisive (like me) the Chicken Waffles is the ultimate balance of sweet and savory. While the crispy fried chicken and jalapenos (I don't like coleslaw, sorry) give it a nice savory taste, the honey glaze compliments it well to add the subtle sweetness needed, all on top of a waffle with a golden, crispy outer layer, with a fluffy, buttery center. If you haven't yet, make it a priority to come by this truck! Only thing to note is there's a small surcharge (0.50) if you're paying with a credit/debit card. read more

Solid A. We happened to stumble upon this food truck while we were looking for places to eat. It was near by the 30th station and it was a hidden gem. We got the Fried Chicken & Waffle and the Pork Belly Banh Mi Waffle. Fried Chicken & Waffle. You would think since it is a food truck, its contents would be mediocre. I kid you not, the fried chicken was cooked perfectly. The chicken was soft and juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. The slaw and the picked jalapenos gave it a good balance of the intense heat and the cool sweet from the slaw. Pork Belly Banh Mi Waffle. This food was on point as well. Pork belly wasn't too dry and the combination between the black pepper glaze, pickled cabbage, jalapenos, and cilantro took your mouth on a magical journey. You can ask for sriracha sauce on the side for those who wants to venture to the hot side. read more

I had the pleasure of experiencing Mr. Foolish Waffles at "Night Market" event when they were slinging out waffles like a discus to the hungry on-goers. I am going to say this, and by now everyone should know my love for Nutella. Yes this chocolaty hazelnut spread over a hot fresh waffle with powdered sugar was enough to put me into an euphoric bliss. I really don't need to say anything else do I? I mean what else could you guys possibly want to know? I mean waffles are already awesome, and this is not your typical "Let go my Eggo" we're talking about. The aroma alone of waffles being made in front of you is simply mouthwatering. It is like Christmas morning with the anticipation of biting into something so decadent, so rich in flavor with the different combinations of awesomeness one can barely contain themselves. You will also be amazed of their unbelievable creative menu they put out there. To be honest, who wouldn't love a breakfast waffle, chicken and waffles, along with what ever creative concoction they come up with. Plus their pricing is reasonable for the quality you'd receive. When you see this food truck you need to park your car (if you drive) and get into that line immediately. You'd be "Foolish" to pass up on these guys. I am Nando and I approve this message. read more

A good breakfast sandwich is one of those true real deal comfort foods that make for the perfect start of my day. But never have I ever thought that I would see it elevated to the level that Foolish Waffles took it to! Full disclosure that aside from a few exceptions on the sweeter dessert side of the spectrum , waffles have been one of those foods that I have generally found myself tossing towards the wayside in favor of a good pancake (http://youtu.be/FjxAAezqJZQ). But never have I ever considered the possibility of using the waffle as the sandwich BREAD, and by that distinction this food truck proved that its cool to be the fool! especially when they used that Brussels waffle bread to sandwich two scrambled eggs, habanero cheddar, and savory bacon with maple syrup drizzled on top (and the sriracha that I added to my sandwich because obviously!). But Foolish doesn't just stop at breakfast and brings classics like fried chicken & waffles and sugary waffles topped with Bassett's vanilla ice cream.And they even take it up a notch with offerings like a berry cheesecake waffle and a pork belly banh mi waffle! read more

This is not your Mother's Waffle! Buttermilk Fried Chicken, chili honey glaze, cabbage slaw, bourbon pickled jalapenos. Would it be as good as it sounds? I've been let down before...but not this time! This thing was amazing! The chicken was cooked perfectly. Juicy, light, nice skin...the combination of flavors was outstanding! The Jalapenos add a little kick to the sweetness of the waffle and it comes together so well. The waffle folds in half so you can make a messy sandwich. I did need a fork to finish up. They have several sweet and savory items on the menu, I wanted to come back for the Ghost(Liege sugar waffle, sweetened condensed milk, mascarpone cream, blueberries) but they sold out of the sweet stuff early. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because it was pricey for the quantity at 13$. This could be to blame on the Mann Center where the truck was last night for the Phish concert, I'm not sure what kind of fees they need to pay to sell there, but it's 4.50 more at the Mann than on their website. I'd like a little more bang for my buck. Friendly service and they took the time to come up with cool Phish themed names for their menu...Fluffhead, Ghost, Bouncin round the Shroom. read more

FYI: Smallish portions for the price you pay. If you're looking to get full on a cheapish price, this is not what you want. The fiancé and I went out on the Saturday night before July 4th to get popcorn but ended up being sucked into the night market that was going on right outside my street instead. After a stop at our favorite dessert truck, Sugar Philly, we ran into this truck near the back end of the market. WHAT WE GOT: Hot diggity dog waffle PROS: The turn around time was pretty fast but I'm not sure if that's cause they had things prepped beforehand or they're just that fast. You can customize your order, which was good considering they had included jalapeños in the description but I'm not a huge fan of them. The hot dog was juicy and their cheese sauce was pretty good. Also props to them for letting people pay with card. HUGE plus. CONS: Okay I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and blame it on the fact that it was 1) a night market and 2) towards the end of said market but we got half a waffle as opposed to a whole one like in many of the photos posted. The waffle was also kinda mediocre. Like I definitely expected more. I don't know if thin and slightly rubbery was the texture they were going for but that's what we got. I expected something a bit more fluffy. read more

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the best chickens and waffles I've ever had in Philly. The fact that it comes from a food truck is insane to me, the chicken comes out so juice and tender. Don't even get me started with how crispy the outside of the chicken is. The light touch of honey on top the chicken adds a lot to the dish as well. There's no way to give this place anything lower than 5 stars, especially when you take into account the cost/where it was made/ and serving size (very generous). read more

Foolish Waffles - Chicken and waffles - Food Trucks Near Me

This is my favorite food truck at the moment! You'd be excited to get waffles like these out of a brick-and-mortar store front, but even more excited when they come to your nabe on wheels! You get the exact experience you want when ordering from a truck. It's interesting, novel, yet high quality and satisfying. We had Foolish Waffles for the first time when they visited the Clover Market in Chestnut Hill on a chilly Saturday. The fiance and I purposely didn't eat breakfast and saved our sacred meal to be enjoyed truck-side at Clover Market. I ordered the breakfast sandwich waffle (habanero cheddar, scrambled eggs, bacon, and maple syrup), and the fiance ordered the fried chicken and waffles as expected. Both orders delighted. The ingredients in mine all fit so well together. The waffle ain't no ordinary waffle, either. Since Foolish Waffles will be in Chestnut Hill every Saturday morning, and as East Falls residents, I think we will be eating significantly more waffles in the future! And significantly larger breakfasts. I strongly suggest looking up their calendar and plan on visiting the truck when it's nearby! read more

The waffles and toppings here are absolutely perfect. I had the Chicken & Waffles and Sweet-n-Salty Waffle. I'm from the south and have had a lot of fried chicken and waffles, and this actually tops anything I've tried before. The chicken was ridiculously crispy and perfectly fried/flavorful, and the chicken part was juicy and tender. The accompanying slaw/pickles added the perfect tangy accompaniment, and the sauce was amazing as well and paired perfectly with the whole ensemble. The waffle itself was also perfect. Crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, with a subtle buttery flavor. The Sweet-n-Salty Waffle was just as amazing. Mascarpone was super creamy, salted caramel sauce was deeply caramelized and buttery, went perfectly with the salt and crunchy toffee. Don't pass up this truck if you ever run into it. I'm just sad that I am not able to catch it as often as I'd like. The best waffles + toppings I've had so far. read more

I tried Foolish Waffles about two weeks ago and I thought I reviewed these awesome people. Alas, here I go. I went to the food truck when they were stationed at Love Park, or what is left of Love Park. Ha ha. I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken on a waffle. Let me say, not only am I hooked, my coworker is looking for their return to Love Park. It is definitely a pleasant twist to the normal trucks at the location and was a welcome change. Who says you cannot have waffles for lunch? The chicken had the perfect crispiness, was moist and the waffle seemed to have the sweetness baked into it; no need to add syrup. The sweet cabbage with jalapenos was a nice touch. A happy foodie indeed! read more

Fantastic pork belly banh mi on a waffle with wonderful presentation. The slaw was spot on: tangy and pickled! Enjoyed the waffle, but don't know if I prefer the waffle exterior to a good bun.

I had the apple spice waffle. Very good!! Generous portions of apples and oatmeal crunch! You will definitely need a fork and knife, though! My waffle was ready quickly and cost $7.50. The only downside is that with Love Park under construction and the fact that it is winter and cold, there isn't really anywhere close to eat your waffle. It would be awesome if they put out a few tables/chairs like some food trucks do, but I totally understand that those are hard to schlep around! Check out this place for a fun and yummy meal! read more

Last night I had the pleasure of a Foolish Waffles experience at an event. On my way from work, I was most looking forward to doing the pictures on here justice. Because who wouldn't want to dine on a Belgian-style waffle with eggs and sausage, or go exotic with their take on Bahn Mi? As soon as I arrived, I asked the gentleman in the truck if any special waffles were still available. Although he answered no, I did see him hand two other customers that kind. Okay, I missed it by a few minutes, although I did order a Liège waffle with Nutella and Speculoos (no Marscapone whipped cream left), plus a Zucchini bread to share at home. Next to Nina's Waffles (New Hope and Doylestown), Foolish's are five stars (and so was the Zucchini bread)! Where my four stars are concerned is more of a guideline: My friends told me as soon as I sat down how difficult it was for FW to keep its ingredients in stock. At one point the workers took orders so that another could leave to restock all the way in Philadelphia! An hour and a half later, the truck was reopened, which made sense as to why the two customers I mentioned earlier received the special waffles. I completely understand that things happen, yet this is the *second* time FW has been at this location, so it's not like the influx of customers threw them for a loop. That doesn't take away from the taste or the quality of the product, although I feel it *does* affect the overall customer experience when they see what FW's offers on their Facebook, Twitter, etc. Otherwise, I was pleased. Hopefully I'll be able to catch one of those entrees soon! read more

Foolish Waffles - The stuff dreams are made of: my Liège waffle with Nutella and Speculoos. - Food Trucks Near Me

What can I say but Banh Mi Waffles! I love Banh mi- I think it is the best meal anywhere in the world. I hunt for it in every city I travel to. There are many versions and some are not so good- many people try and fail getting the proportions wrong or making up some crazy version. The perfect banh mi relies on a combination of hot and cold, spice and vinegar and the crisp crust of a light and airy warm french style bread. This place gets it all perfect even if it is the craziest version I have ever had. Pork belly served on a hot waffle with the perfect amount of pickled slaw and cilantro. You can't go wrong. My daughter begs me for the tofu one anytime she knows I might be driving anywhere near this food truck. Wish it was in my neighborhood everyday- I could never get tired of this. read more

I tried out the Foolish Waffles truck last week at the Mt Airy Street Fair. I stood in line for a good twenty minutes debating whether to go with chicken and waffles or the sweet and salty. Ten minutes in, they came out and erased chicken and waffles from their menu cause they were out, so I went with the sweet and salty. What's a "sweet and salty" you ask? It's a waffle with bacon toffee, black pepper, mascarpone whipped cream, caramel, and sea salt. Basically one of the best waffles I've ever had. Worth the wait in line. I checked out their calendar and looks like they are at Chestnut Hill Farmer's Market every Saturday till mid-November and at various events around the city during the rest of the month. Track them down and get a waffle! read more

I was so excited to finally get to try this food truck when it came to The Porch at 30th St. Unfortunately that excitement was short lived. I ordered the chicken and waffle and knew I was in for a disappointment when I grabbed the container and it was really light...unusually light, especially since there was supposed to be fried chicken in there. When I opened it up I understood. There was my waffle, with two small pieces of chicken...almost like large chicken nuggets...sitting on top. The slaw just looked like cabbage, and there were a few jalapeños. I dug in. First thought: it's dry. This thing needs syrup or something. Second thought: the bourbon slaw has Zero flavor. It was cabbage, and it tasted like cabbage. The chicken was good but the waffle was also rather flavorless. The entire thing was disappointing. ***update: I just read some other reviews and it appears my waffle was missing a component. Others talk about a sauce or glaze that was on theirs...mine definitely did not have it. Perhaps that's the ingredient that ties it all together?*** Even more disappointing? That $9 waffle didn't really satisfy me. I went looking for a snack not even an hour later. I certainly won't be going back again. Nice concept, really poor execution. read more

So, Foolish has only been in the streets for a few weeks now, but I am already hooked. Tried them out today at Manayunk Streat Fest and I was pleased. As I've mentioned before, fried chicken & waffles are one of my favorite things to eat and they executed it well. I tried the Fried Chicken & Waffles w/ Sausage Gravy & the Strawberry & Creme Waffle. Both were excellent. The fried chicken was cooked well..nice and crispy, but not too greasy, and the maple syrup drizzled on top set off the flavor perfectly, although I had to ask them to drizzle a little extra on it. The strawberry and creme waffle was tasty also. It featured a nice marscapone whipped cream that I really enjoyed. Foolish offers two different style of Belgian waffles- a Brussels style (light, airy and crispy w/a subtle vanilla flavor) and the Liege style- which is the "sugar waffle", sweet and crispy, akin to brioche. They even let you add in cool things like fruity pebble pieces and candied bacon. I am VERY excited about this new addition to the Philly food truck scene. If there was any downside, it would be that they use boneless chicken thighs instead of boneless breasts. I don't really enjoy dark meat, but I can understand using it because it's cheaper...I just wish they didn't. :-/ read more

Iv'e been wanting to try Foolish Waffles for a while now and it was worth the wait. The waffles are made in house, and they have a good recipe for the batter. The waffles have a nice crisp to them and a good flavor on their own. Fried chicken and waffle was very good. The chicken was juicy and the outside was crisp. It paired well with the waffle, making a great sandwich. It tasted like there was a little pit of honey on the waffles, I put a bit of sriracha on there, it miked well with all of the flavors. The pork belly banh mi was tasty. Obviously not super traditional, but I thought that the taste went well with the waffle. I think that there could have been more pork belly in there, but not bad at all. Looking at the pictures, and from what I was told, the serving size that I got at the night market were smaller than what you would typically get if you were ordering from this truck. Kind of pricey for what I paid, but if you typically get the whole waffle like most of the pictures show, it will be worth it. read more

Why is this food so delicious?!!! This is a meal you will remember for days after. FW is an instant addiction. This was my 1st visit to FW at Love Park. I am in love. I thought I was just going to get a sweet dish but I couldn't resist a savory as well. The line was crazy long - the wait in line was exceptional (good indication). However, the time you placed your order until it was filled was very reasonable. I ordered the Pork Belly Bahn Mi waffle. It was luscious and a party in my mouth. The pickled veg were the right texture and brightness to the rich, delicious fattiness of pork belly. The flavors were fresh & popped. WOW! Then I finished with the Sweet & Salty dessert liege waffle. Who knew heaven could be wrapped in a liege waffle. The mascarpone whip cream was beautiful - billowy, silken - I could eat a whole bowl of that. The bacon toffee, caramel, sea salt - this dessert was a symphony of food. I'm addicted & going through withdrawal waiting for them to return. The staff was super friendly and enjoyed what they did. My only minor critique is I would like the pork Bahn mi sandwich filled more with the pickled vegs... I will request more next time. This is some serious fresh, delicious food! WOW! Just WOW! read more

I'm rating this based on their food truck for the Chinatown night market this past Thursday. I was super excited about savory waffles when I walked by on Thursday since this was a new concept to me. I only recently started eating chicken and waffles at brunch so I was looking forward to a new culinary experience. I ordered the bahn mi waffle with pork belly which is essentially a Belgium waffle sandwich with the pickled veggies and pork belly.The pork belly, I LOVE pork belly, definitely lived up to its name. It was cooked perfectly and thoroughly. Lastly, the waffle was nice a crispy which gave it a nice crunch, but still soft in the middle. There was a spicy sauce with the veggies which had a nice kick. Definitely worth a try! read more

One of the top 10 things I've ever eaten. Got the fried chicken waffle in Chestnut Hill-7/19/14. Perfect blend of flavors, crunchy slaw, little heat, little salt, little sweet. The aftertaste of each bite was so good. You'd take a bite, wait 3 minutes...take a bite, wait 3 minutes...waffle was done just right. Thickness was spot on for a sand which. Find them round town. read more

Foolish Waffles - Fried chicken waffle - Food Trucks Near Me

The first time I tried fried chicken on a waffle was the Foolish food truck version. I will not be trying many others because theirs is pretty tasty and this is not a dish that will be entering my regular meal rotation. The Foolish version includes tasty and freshly-fried boneless pieces of battered chicken (did not check to see the ratio of dark meat to white meat because I like them both), fresh, crunchy, and light slaw, and a few hot pepper slices on top of a large, though relatively thin, freshly made and slightly sweet waffle. The fried chicken is good and the combination works well, though I would prefer mine spicier. Price seems average for food trucks - $8.50. Wait time from order to receipt was under ten minutes. The waffles are provided in recyclable paper containers (yay!). Their sweet waffles look good and might be worth a try some day. read more

I wouldn't be shy to proclaim that I'm one of Foolish Waffles' biggest fans. I remember trying them last year at LOVE park. I waited 30 minutes to place an order, and about 15 minutes for my food. (Yes, that's how long the lines get). I was bummed because it had taken up almost all of my lunch time, but when I had my first bite of the Tofu Banh Mi Waffle, OMG! All my anger melted, and I was so happy. But as I finished my waffle in about 44 seconds, I was angry again on why did it end already! Everything from the taste, the ingredients, and the presentation is 5*. For the sweet stuff, I would recommend their Brussels waffle over Liege. Liege has a slightly bitter taste from the "more cooked" sugar. For sweets, I generally go with nutella with berry compote. Also, I would say that if you are not usually the one who can be full with a salad, 1 waffle will not fill you up. I usually get 1 Tofu BM and 1 sweet waffle to share with my friend. 1.5 is just the right amount! Lastly, all my carnivore friends who I have introduced foolish waffles to - they say the chicken is #1, and pork banh mi is the next best. read more

Foolish Waffles - Chicken & Waffles, sans jalapenos! Delish! - Food Trucks Near Me

This truck is overrated. I have read so many good things about this truck that I went to the Oval to try them out. When I got there I was informed that they were still waiting on the chicken so I couldn't get the chicken and waffles. That's exactly what I wanted to get, so that was one strike. I tried the pork belly banh mi waffle instead. It was ok. It is a really nice waffle, but the mix of flavors on the waffle didn't wow me. I also wanted to try their apple crisp waffle for dessert, but they didn't have it that day. Maybe I was expecting too much... read more
