Dining OutGiant Fusion Eggrolls Make Eggroll Boyz a Marietta Must-Stop

Giant Fusion Eggrolls Make Eggroll Boyz a Marietta Must-Stop

It’s official: those giant-sized fusion eggrolls that made Eggroll Boyz one of the most looked-for food trucks around North Georgia are now available at the Marietta Square Market food hall.

You may have seen that news posted elsewhere in February. But having spent a lifetime in the global restaurant business, we know better than to judge a new food outlet with a visit in the first month of operation. So, after Eggroll Boyz opened on Feb. 10 at Marietta Square Market, we let them work out all the kinks with operations, suppliers and personnel before visiting in mid-March to sample their fusion eggroll menu.

And believe us, it was worth the wait! We were rewarded with quick, friendly service and the giant-sized, fried-to-perfection fusion eggrolls we’ve experienced in previous visits to their food truck and Alpharetta location.

On our first visit to the Marietta Square food hall location, we selected the large Island Boyz roll with standard accompanying fries and fried rice. It was enough for two at lunch.

Not Your Regular Eggroll!

Compared to traditional eggrolls found at Chinese restaurants, that just ain’t how the Eggroll Boyz roll. Instead, based on their travels and food experiences, Eggroll Boyz create fusion eggrolls that use everything from Philly Cheese steak and lobster to burgers, barbeque, buffalo chicken and more.

On our first (yes — there will be MANY more!) visit to the Marietta location, we chose the Island Boyz roll with accompanying fried rice and french fries. Knowing the portion sizes from previous visits to the food truck and Alpharetta location, we opted to share the plate between the two of us. And when we were done, we were both as well stuffed as any of the huge rolls dished out by the Eggroll Boyz.

Of course, the highlight was that eggroll — stuffed with seasoned pulled chicken, accompanied by angel hair cabbage, and topped with the Boyz’ special jerk sauce. From first bite to the last, every mouthful was a flavor explosion that transported us to the Caribbean. If there was a Jimmy Buffet song in the background and boat drinks on the table, this just might have been heaven.

Hitting Stride at Marietta

As mentioned, we had visited Eggroll Boyz elsewhere previously, and this visit in Marietta matched each wonderful experience we’ve had. So if the Boyz had any of those first-month “jitters” that ruin the openings of so many new restaurants, they were all gone and cleared by our Mid-March visit.

You’ll find Eggroll Boyz located down a side hall at Marietta Square food market, occupying the space previously housing Cousin’s Lobster Rolls. The eggrolls are much better than the lobster rolls of the previous occupant.

We should mention that Eggroll Boyz isn’t really a value dining outlet. But then again, these aren’t the tiny, greasy, side-order items you get when ordering off a Chinese menu, either.Depending on the size you choose, you’ll pay anywhere from $15 up to $28 for one of their standard menu rollz and accompaniments. A lunch menu offers up a $15 option that includes a drink. And there are kids rollz offered at a lower price point.

On this visit, we didn’t have room for any of their specialty fries, though we’ve had their Cheezy Boyz Fries and Bacon Boyz fries on other visits, and enjoyed every bite. We haven’t ever had room left to try their desserts, but we are planning a special “dessertz-only” visit soon. We’ll post another story when we do, as they look amazing!

On our food truck visit, we went for the Barbeque Boyz roll, with a side of cheesy fries. This plate easily was enough for two people.

What Others Say

We dug through the reviews for Eggroll Boyz and found the most comments on the three following items:

  1. Burger Boyz Full – Priced at $18.95, this large entree is a standout item on the menu, offering a substantial meal for customers to enjoy.
  2. Lunchy Boyz Combo – Available only from 11 am to 2 pm, this combo meal is priced at $14.99 and is a popular choice among patrons looking for a satisfying lunch option.
  3. Philly Boyz Half – Priced at $14.95, the Philly Boyz Half is another well-received item on the menu, known for its delicious flavors and generous portion size.

Frankly, those all sounded good, but a little “standard” for our taste buds. We checked out some of the more “exotic” offers and found fans had high praise for the Bayou Boyz Full which offers a seafood delight with crab, lobster, and shrimp. Returning fans appreciate the innovative combination of flavors and high-quality ingredients. This one is definitely on our “to-do” list for a future visit.

In addition to physical locations in Marietta and Alpharetta, you’ll often find the Eggroll Boyz food trucks in Cobb County cities and towns, and at local events.
