A tourist visiting from Boston, I was starving after a drive from Birmingham and wanted some food in my belly. I wanted something simple and easy, but local and yummy.
Behold: on a roll!
A sweet silver bullet food truck with picnic tables and umbrellas, on a roll is a friendly and fun place to grab a bite.
Nick is too cool! Maybe his friendliness is just an Alabama standard, but it was a wonderful welcome for this yankee!
I had the southern sampler, which has a bed of greens, pimento cheese, and a phenomenal scoop and chicken salad with quick pickles and a sliced orange.
Heads up: "iced coffee" was not the cold brew I'm used to from home- it's made some a sweetened syrup and is served with whipped cream. I am guessing it is a regional hit but we didn't like it. Nick was kind and gave us our money back...he did not have to!
He also helped us scope out the area for our civil rights hot spots that we wanted to see.
Ah- one more thing. Super dog friendly! Even gave my pup her own water bowl!
I would certainly return if I ever end up in Birmingham again. read more
