My daughters and I tried this one Sunday after church. We were scared to eat here but we have been coming EVERY week for about a month. The guy who takes the orders is so nice and the food is always hot and good. It's a MUST you try it

First college football game of the season, so I needed some wings, and decided to try A Train instead of the usual BWW or Publix, and I'm glad that I did! I got a 50 piece with lemon pepper and Honey BBQ sauces. The wings were tender & done all the way through, but not hard & tough, cause I don't like hard wings. I also like that the ranch sauce was a good name brand "Ken's Steak House Ranch" with an expiration date instead of some generic ranch that some places pour in a container and you don't know what brand it is. The cashier in my photo was nice, helpful, and patient since this was my first time there. I will definitely return soon.

Great food and better people. The philly cheesesteak was amazing. I'll be hitting the rest of the menu soon.

Regardless of it’s the food truck or restaurant I am never disappointed. I love soul food Sundays but my heart is with the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls . But don’t sleep on the variety of wing flavors and them quesadillas

The guy that made my food said it was made with love, and he wasn't lying! These are literally the BEST wings that you are going to find. The staff that work on the food truck are always nice and attentive. They ensure that your order is made correctly and I love it!

Best Jamaican jerk sauce in Birmingham. Loaded fries are perfect every time and quesadillas are fantastic. The Philly egg roll is good but needs a sauce or cheese to dip it in!

This food truck was at Railroad’s symphony in the park and I am SO glad. I wasn’t super interested in any of the other food trucks, but this one caught my eye. They have quesadillas, wings, and burgers. I got the buffalo chicken cheese fries for 13 and it was an ample serving. The buffalo sauce was so smokey and flavorful. The cheese was a tasty liquid cheese and they topped it with ranch too. YUM! I was so happy with my food choice and I would seek out this food truck again. I feel like I definitely need to get my hands on their chicken wings! The lady taking my order was also super sweet and answered my questions nicely even though they were busy.

The food is FIRE. So delicious, made with love, and comforting in the way only Southern food can be. Usually I get their hot lemon pepper catfish plate (also fire) with Philly fries and my hubby gets the jerk chicken quesadilla (also, also fire—seeing a pattern here?) but today they had a special loaded tater so you know I had to snag it. I opted for the seafood potato and y’all... I am in HEAVEN. Fish and shrimp doused in this creamy, buttery sauce with the cheesy potato... MMM! And to wash it all down, the Locomotive Lemonade was a stellar choice as well. It’s like the best fruit punch ever. Everything on their menu is a hit—fish, wings, chicken, THE OKRA you’ll never make a bad choice at A-Train.
