Reviews for Barbara's Soul Food On Wheels in Orange, VA
Barbara is one of the best cooks in Orange. She always puts out great food with a smile on her face
There?s no doubt that this place seems to have the potential to put out great food. It was the featured food truck at a little... fall festival in a pretty well-known resort/subdivision in Gordonsville. My husband and I had the catfish sandwich, which waspretty good, save for the 45+ minute wait, during which nobody in line was informed if this was normal, if something was goingon, etc. He had the potato wedges, which were great; I had the fries which were bland. Maybe the owner was having an off daybecause all of the reviews I?ve read mention her hospitable personality that didn?t seem to exist today; in fact, she wasdownright rude - but we all have our days. I would be inclined to write a better review if it weren?t for later seeing theowner/cook smoking a cigarette inside of the truck, which would be gross even after operating hours, but was actually happeningduring them. It?s not a smoking thing - my husband is a smoker - but is something that is completely unsanitary and wouldn?t beacceptable in any kitchen from McDonald?s to a Michelin-star restaurant. In addition to our own experience, my friend recounteda time where after ordering mac & cheese from this truck that would stop at her work some days, she called to let the ownersknow that she had found a bobby pin with hair attached to it in her food. She was met with ?what do you want me to do about it?Accidents happen.? Decent food or not, a lack of customer service and sanitation will lead me to never again order here norrecommend it as a vendor. Read more

For my 1st visit I started with my favorite food..mac and cheese. Barbara's was phenomenal! It was cheesy, gooey, hot and... delicious ???? I look forward to my next visit. Read more
Great food truck. This is NOT $1 fast food snacks and it's NOT pre-done (so you'll wait 5+ minutes). I got a catfish sandwich... and the catfish was easily enough for 3 sandwiches. She hand-breads it on-site and it's fresh. It was super! Catfish was I think$9; other things were pretty-much all $5-$10. A have-to stop! Read more
Just had Ms. Barbara's food for the first time. So glad we stopped. Authentic southern food. The catfish was crispy and juicy.... The salad was fresh, crunchy, and loaded with veg. The mac'n'cheese was like homemade. She carries frog legs! Those are almostimpossible to find. The breading was delicate and crispy and the meat was perfectly cooked and delicious. If you want a southernhomemade meal without cooking, go to Barbara's. We will be back! Read more
