The Frenchman came to my office park a few weeks ago. I got L'Capitan, the deep fried chicken with cheese, cabbage and sauce on brioche. I added a fried egg as I like them on sandwiches. The taste was good, cabbage and sauce tangy without being overly spicy, and the thing was huge. Two chicken thighs in one sandwich which I struggled to hold together while driving and couldn't finish in one sitting. Came with a side of fries which were tasty and didn't get too hard when they cooled off. read more

Yum! Came across their food truck while we were at The Winery At Bull Run. Everything on their menu looked delicious. Tried their Napoleon the Conqueror and Baked Brie. Both were well made and had plenty of flavor. The cashier at the food truck was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. Their menu items can be a bit pricey but quality ingredients are used and you can taste the difference. I'm glad we tried The Frenchman out. read more

The Frenchman food truck is a testimony to gluttony, and the ultimate cheat day meal. I had the Napoleon the angry. Fried chicken goodness on a brioche, plenty of jalapeno slices, cheese, and an aioli. The brioche bun was fluffy and did a great job of holding all of the flavor into bites. A side of fries that were great compliment to the richness of the sandwich. The sandwich was a great balance of spicy and buttery. No ketchup or other condiments needed. read more

Napoleon the Conqueror, $14 Savory Deep Fried (I substituted grill chicken) w/ swiss cheese, crispy bacon, ham, fried farm egg and a french sauce served on a SOFT brioche bun, Garlic Fries and a drink included! Top 3 sandwiches I've ever had, the bacon was just right, the combo of salt from the bacon/ham was so good. The egg was fried but drippy which made it kind of messy but great sandwich and those fries are da bomb.com! Lastly, I gave them four stars because I found a hair on my bun but I was mostly done w/ the sandwich, as the chicken ran out b4 the bun lol No biggy. read more

Upscale, satisfying and heavy. The food was really flavorful, and Im not generally a fan of french food. It was really fast great for lunch. Great fried chicken with good ailoi. But the food feels heavy and I dont recommend going back to work after. read more

I had the opportunity to try The Frenchman last Friday night at 50 West winery for Live in the Vines. What an unexpected surprise! The food was so delicious. Tons of flavor, served up hot and fresh and cooked just right. The majority of the menu items are different takes on chicken sandwiches. I am a sucker for anything with swiss cheese and mushrooms, but when I saw Truffle Aioli in the mix I made my decision to try Napoleon the Arrogant. A juicy dark meat chicken thigh was breaded and deep fried to the perfect crunch, topped with mushrooms, swiss and aioli then placed on a buttery fresh toasted brioche bun. I really enjoyed this sandwich. It was huge and while I ate a bit more than half, I could not finish. For my husband, who loves spicy foods, I ordered Napoleon the Angry. This crispy chicken sandwich was topped with swiss, pickled jalapenos and a pepper aioli. He also enjoyed. We shared a small order Mon Frites - crispy shoestring fries sprinkled with parsley, lemon zest and garlic. These were served with a delicious roasted garlic aioli. So much flavor again. Service at this little truck was friendly and quick. For the amount and quality of the food I received I found the price reasonable. I would definitely seek out this truck to try another of the Napoleon sandwiches. Thoroughly enjoyed! read more

Ate here at Port City Brewery today bc other than a food truck, there are no other food options. Ordered the George (vegetarian sandwich) and after looking on their menu, just now, I see that they did not include the local honey on both my husbands and I's sandwich. There are only 3 ingredients! How do you forget it on both?! And I'm ticked I didn't realize it until after the fact. All the while eating it, I was not satisfied because it was one slice of cheese and a few apples apple slices on some thick buttered bread for $8. Thanks for big waste of nothing. The fries were good but crazy to charge $7 for them. I never understood why food trucks, which have minimal overhead charge such high prices. Restaurants don't charge that price for a basket of fries so why do you? Update: It's been 24 hrs since I ate here and my son and I both had a vicious attack of food poisoning last night. It came on quickly and intensely. after we went to sleep. I don't think it's a coincidence considering this is all we ate that day. I'm still recovering. read more

After putting off trying this food truck for months (they seem to be everywhere we go), we finally caved from hunger. We ordered a Napoleon the Angry, Hamilton, and side of fries. None of the above took very long to cook, but nothing wowed us to eat here again out of desperation. The fries were cooked well, but the seasoning didn't really add anything except a ton of salt. The aioli didn't have much flavor beyond basic mayo, which neither of us enjoy in general. The Hamilton (grilled cheese with bacon and apples) came with salted and buttered bread (why so much salt), one measly slice of cheese, about 2 slices of apples, and 2 slices of bacon. Pretty much the only thing that was tasted was the buttered bread and bacon. Usually that could be a good thing, but I at least expect to taste cheese for the $10 price tag. The Napoleon (fried chicken with jalapenos) was kind of the same way as the Hamilton. A decent fried piece of chicken but not really any other flavor. Maybe the normal chefs weren't working that day, but I'd rather go to Chick Fil A for my fill of chicken and fries (at a lower price). read more

Le Napoleon the Arrogant magnifique! Simply great tasting sandwiches with quality and fresh ingredients! I ordered the Napoleon the Arrogant chicken sandwich with Truffle Aioli, Swiss cheese and mushroom on a fresh brioche bun was super yummy! I don't even like sandwiches that much but this one was simply delicious! I definitely will follow the Frenchman when I can and if they come around again. All i'm sayin...oh wait, bar none the best food truck i've tried! read more

WOW.. just WOW.. We had a work event and they served a bunch of food trucks. I tried two other food trucks and tossed the food. Nothing was fresh and everything was mediocre and bland. BUT let me tell you about the Frenchman food was simply amazing! I had the Napoleon L'Capitan and man did it hit the spot from all the other disgusting food. The slaw was perfectly made and not overly drenched and has a good bite to it. The fries were nice and seasoned with garlic. The bun was delicious and the chicken was crisp. Overall one of the best food trucks I ate from. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Some of the best food we've had, and what makes it even better is it came off a truck! Find The Frenchman in NoVA. It's so worth every bite. read more

They were at First Friday in Leesburg and we had stopped by for a late dinner. I had the mon frites and Napolean L'capitan. The food seemed like it was made to order. I thought that the sandwich itself was kind of salty, and neither the fries nor the sandwich really stood out to me. I really didn't get the "Frenchness" of the food truck other than their names, and the food was on the pricey side. I don't think I'd try this again. read more

Like French, we went to this restaurant ! The crepe are very good Friendly crew Good coffee and cappuccino ! macchiato...etc (not US Coffee :-) read more

Ordered a chicken sandwich. It was not good. Dark meat and gristle. The menu said "Savory Deep Fried Chicken." No reference to a chicken breast I guess, so fair enough. I wouldn't eat here again though. read more

The Frenchman - Food Trucks Near Me

We stopped by their food truck today and ordered a L'Capitan: Grilled chicken, Melted Gruyere, Cabbage Onion Slaw and Frenchy Sauce and a Steak Sandwich special: steak, red onion, melted cheddar on toasted French bread. They were both delicious and very filling on their own. This is really good food and a great value considering the typical food trucks have kabobs, burgers, etc. for the same price. Definitely seek out this food truck. It's a shame you can't check-in (unless I missed something) because by nature food trucks are in different locations from the one they must list on Yelp. read more

Delicious but small portions. I got Napoleon The Conqueror which had ham, egg, Gruyere, bacon and frenchy sauce. The cheese on this was to die for. I would eat here again for sure. I love European cuisine. read more

This is a food truck that offers good food and great services. The Mon Frites (French fries) are excellent and a must get. The chicken sandwiches are good but nothing special. However, we did have it while at the Black Walnut Brewery so bonus points for being available just steps from the Brewery patio! read more

The Frenchman - Food Trucks Near Me

Tried the Frenchman Food Truck while at the Old Ox brewery in Ashburn, VA, and was very disappointed. I ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and after getting about halfway through the sandwich I realized it was completely raw on the inside. Something told me the texture wasn't quite right, but I'd never had this style of cooking before, so I assumed the texture was intended. But, when my eye caught a glimpse of the raw chicken, my meal was done. Thankfully the cooks were willing to give me a complete refund. Unfortunately, this experience has turned me off to this vendor. I just don't know how you can come back from a raw chicken breast. read more

Really fantastic food! Lots of it, unbelievably fresh and delicious. Napoleon the Conqueror and mounds of fries are our usual go-to, but I have also since tried The Hamilton and that's a winner too! Paired the meal with the Delaney and a cider at The Winery at Bull Run and it was a perfect pairing to enjoy the day. Worth the trip! We'll be back! read more

Tried The Frenchman truck for lunch today and ordered the Napoleon Chicken combo (L' Capitan sandwich, garlic frites and soda) for $14. How do you mess up a chicken sandwich? Especially when you are charging $9 for it? The L' Capitan looked delicious on the menu, but what I received was hardly appetizing. One bite into the sandwich and I knew: it was dry, overcooked and bland. When I opened the sandwich, the meat inside was a mixture of white, brown and gray. The taste of the meat was just so off-putting I ate half and tossed it. To make matters worse, the mayo slopped on combined with the coleslaw made a huge chunk of the bun soggy. Honestly, feel like I wasted $14. Coworkers had the smoked salmon on sourdough and loved it. Sadly, I have zero reasons to recommend them. read more

Closed earlier than they were supposed to... ON MARDI GRAS. Our office building gets food trucks every Tuesday from 11 AM to 2 PM. My mom had a doctor's appointment so we rushed into the office after to get our special Mardi Gras lunch from The Frenchman. We got there at 1:35 only to find out that they'd closed 5 minutes prior. It would be one thing if there was a legitimate reason for them to close early, but they literally just sat in the parking lot for the next half hour doing nothing. We went next door to the cafe for other food and they were still just sitting there when we drove back around. How can you operate a food truck entirely centered on French cuisine and then close down early on Mardi Gras just because you felt like it? read more

Tried this yesterday outside of Solis Brewing. For a $12 chicken sandwich, I would've expected a chicken breast, not a deep-fried thigh. On top of that, even with the bacon, swiss, etc, it lacked flavor. Took about 3 bites and tossed it. My wife ordered the $10 grilled cheese...seriously, 1 slice of cheese. C'mon guys!! read more

Had a Napoleon L'Capitan and some fries last night at Old Ox Brewery, and it was fantastic! The chicken was well fried, but still juicy. The Frenchy sauce was tasty, and the cabbage onion slaw was in a sweet spot between slaw and sauerkraut. The fries were seasoned perfectly and freshly fried, and the aoili was super garlicky in the best way possible. Definitely going to check them out when they're in the area again! read more

This review is from Valentine's Day at Barrel Oak Winery. The winery had put together a fun valentines day event and advertised all over social media of which it included this food truck, The Frenchman, being there. My wife and I decided to go since we knew dinner plants would be tough on Valentines and we like this spot. So literally as we are turning off the main road for the winery we see the Frenchman leaving. It was something like 5 or 6pm (about dusk) and I believe they were advertised as being there much longer. Confused we hoped they ran out of something and would be right back? Well turns out they just bailed and left the winery, leaving them high and dry for food options of other customers coming out to their advertised valentines special event. I asked two different people at the winery what happened why is the Frenchman not here and both were upset, stated something along the lines of "they didn't get enough customers so they told us they were leaving". Whatttt?? When we arrived it was at the earlier side of the Valentines event, people were just starting to show up when we saw them leaving... it ended up having a decent amount of people there. Another person that worked there stated that this food truck, for leaving them high and dry like that, would never be invited back. As a business owner I can see how frustrating this would be: making a commitment to customers for a great experience and then having your main food option for said experience take off shortly into the event. As a customer I was annoyed because I had planned on purchasing food from them but now we had to battle crazy long lines / wait times to enjoy dinner on Valentines! read more

I had the Hamilton. It was so delicious. Cooked perfectly and paired with fries. I would definitely recommend!!

So, the food is great! That's a given. I wanted to point out how friendly and accommodating the staff was when I dropped my food. Their level of customer service is on par with Amazon, and I'm glad they were here. @TheFrenchman, I hope you sell a lot, grow your business, and keep on truckin'! Thanks, David read more

Napoleon the Conqueror - best fried chicken sandwich in Northern Virginia. Fresh VA country ham. Garlic Aioli. Runny fried egg. All on a warm brioche bun and served with garlic herb fries. It's next level good. I've eaten at a fair amount of these foodtrucks on the Yelp list. This is hands down my favorite. read more

Exceptional! I decided I wanted to be an Aristocrat for a day and escape serfdom for a brief time so I stepped up and ordered "Napoleon the Arrogant." I hesitated about the fries (Mon Frites) as I saw this monstrous sandwich get served up ahead of me in line and I doubted myself for a split second. Luckily this weakness quickly left my body because these were very well seasoned French fries with a beautiful garlic'y undercoat. I was presented with the most tender dark meat chicken sandwich with an ever so slight crunch, perfect seasoning in the batter, melted Swiss, tender mushrooms and a bun that did not overpower the meat. The Roasted Garlic Aioli was thick, with an intense flavor...this is for the garlic lover that seeks a wonderful flavor explosion worth every single additional calorie. Well done Frenchman, well done! Merci! read more

Ordered 2 complete meals from this food truck and left very decent tip. About an hour later I came back and wanted to get a grilled cheese without the apples and honey ($7) and asked if it was the same as the 'kids grilled cheese' ($5)....the reply was YES! So I ordered the simple grilled cheese but then I was told that there would be an "upcharge"...... Ok. Why is that? Well because you're an adult.....and um.....the computer recognizes the difference.... Me: "I'm...ok well then I'll just have the one with the apples and honey". Really?!? The computer knows if it's an adult or child (at a winery mind you) that's ordering the SAME EXACT GRILLED CHEESE?!? Ok fine. I stood outside the good truck and continued to listen to them bitch and complain about their customers. So really?....I came....supported your business....tipped....then ordered more....and you're going to treat me like shit about it? Well....good luck. Karma will take care of the rest :) read more

I had the Nepoleon Conqueoror, deep fried chicken, with ham, bacon, and a fried egg and Spiced up mayo on roll. Got the combo, with Garlic/parsley fries and a drink. I enjoyed it, tasty. Better if Johnnie used white meat, but I'm sure he'd have to charge more, plus bump those fries up to a thicker version, rather than shoestrings and you got a winner! read more

This is definitely a hidden gem in Haymarket, will definitely be returning during quarantine.

We got the Brie plate. It was delicious, but only included 2 slices of French bread, not nearly enough for the nice amount of Brie and other goodies. When I went back to ask for more bread, they charged me $1 for 2 additional slices. I paid the fee because I wanted to finish the Brie, but I thought it was ridiculous. I would have given 5 stars if they weren't so stingy on the bread. read more

I had the Napoleon the Arrogant sandwich (fried chicken sandwich with Swiss cheese and sauteed mushrooms) with Mon Frites and honestly delicious beyond description. The chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned and I'm a bread-snob (I grew up in Germany where bread is no joke) and I can say the brioche bun was very good. It may be a bit pricey, but I feel like it was well worth it for the amount of food you get, the convenience, and the quality. Someone in a post earlier complained that they could get the same sandwich at Chik Fila for cheaper and besides that being wrong in my opinion, I think that guy missed the point of supporting a good local business. P.S. I love the cut-out of Napoleon. :) EDIT: I would change one thing, however. I ordered the baked brie as well and I wish it had just a couple more slices of bread. One is just not enough -- at least for me. read more

Without a doubt, The Frenchman is one of, if not the best food truck in NOVA! The Napoleon the Angry fried chicken sandwich puts chic fila to shame. And the mon frits, lawd jesus the mon frits, will change your life! The service is always prompt and friendly. Honestly if there were Michelin Stars for food trucks this one would be in the upper echelon. read more

Unbelievably good food from a real deal chef. The Frenchman never disappoints. Not just the best food truck you'll ever experience, the best food you'll experience, period. Do yourself a favor and order one of everything. read more

So much love for this food! I crave the Conqueror every day and I'm always excited to see what the special is. Love that they use local ingredients! read more

Best Food Truck I have experienced to date! They have food trucks (at least 2, sometimes 3) every Wednesday in my office complex. The Frenchman is by far the best one I have had outside my door to date. A delicious juicy chicken breast lightly fried, you can pick your topping, i got the ham, bacon and fried egg topping (I'm sure not good for me), which was VERY VERY good! This guy is the real deal, a real chef, not just some dude in a truck making the typical BBQ and Chicken Wraps. Delicious!!!! read more

Excellent food! The sandwiches are very tasty, and very filling. Fries are salted with garlic. Today I had The Angry Napoleon - great jalapeños on it! The sand which didn't fall apart either and the sauce didn't leak or drip. I wish they had more drink choices, that's my only complaint. read more

The Frenchman is fantastic. I ordered the Napoleon the Arrogant with grilled chicken this week outside Port City brewing. Perfectly cooked chicken and the STELLAR frites made for a great experience. Thanks for adding some flavor to my vacation!! read more
