We Found A Dam Food Truck Court On I-75

For nearby foodies in Kennesaw, Marietta and Atlanta, or those just passing through on I-75, you won’t want to miss a dam food truck court operating just off exit 290 near Cartersville, GA.

Actually, that’s A. (for Allatoona) Dam Food Truck Court and Beer Garden, a roadside foodie paradise featuring an ever-changing array of local food trucks, a permanent grill and bar, plus a periodic crafts and farmer’s market. It’s all located along the north side of Georgia Highway 20, just off I-75 exit 290 for Rome and Canton.

Don’t be confused by this sign. You’ll find A. Dam Food Truck Court and Beer Garden on I-75 at exit 290 near Cartersville, Georgia.

Operating Tuesday through Sunday, you can usually find six to nine local food trucks there — and sometimes more for special events and depending on the day. Trucks feature foods from A (alligator!) to Z (an entire menu from Egg Roll BoyZ).

Our Food Truck Visits

We’ve now made multiple visits to A Dam Food Truck Court, often popping in after a morning hike at nearby Pine Mountain, Cooper’s Furnace and Red Top Mountain, or when driving back from one of our North Georgia Adventures at Fort Mountain, Pine Log Creek or Sloppy Floyd State Park. Our visits are more drop-in than planned visit, so we never know ahead of time which trucks will be there. But, for those who want to know in advance, you can keep up-to-date by following the A Dam Face Book Page.

There’s indoor and outdoor seating, a permanent bar and grill, a game area, and a fun roadside vibe at A. Dam Food Truck Court and Beer Garden.

A Sampling of Food Trucks

On multiple visits, we’ve spotted the following trucks. We’ve included some brief commentary on those we’ve sampled. Most of these have Facebook pages where they provide more information on their foods and locations.

Chicago’s Lunchbox.

Chicas Birria.

Chuck’s Curbside.

Craft Smokehouse.

Egg Roll Boyz. Giant-sized egg rolls, stuffed with an assortment of creative and yummy fillings. We enjoyed the super-sized Jerk Chicken egg roll, which was perfectly fried with a crispy exterior and hot and tasty stuffing. It was topped with a jerk seasoning drizzle, and perfectly accompanied by seasoned cheeZe fries. Believe us, these BoyZ know their egg rollZ. This group of multi-cultural chefs and foodies operate multiple trucks, and publish their schedule on their Facebook page.

These mega-sized jerk chicken eggrolls from Eggroll Boyz were perfectly fried, crunchy on the exterior and hot and moist on the interior. The seasoned cheeZey fries made a filling side.

Fire It Up BBQ.

Grilled Cheese and Boba Teas. After much consideration and some changing of choices, we carefully devoured a Brisket and Cheese melt. Inside the buttered and grilled bread, this oversized sandwich was full of rich, melted, creamy grilled cheese, with a near-perfect cheese pull. The cheese was melted around a tasty pulled brisket, featuring a tangy barbeque sauce. They publish a calendar on their website, but we could never get their Facebook or Instagram links to connect.

After careful consideration, we finally chose the Brisket and Cheese Melt, then enjoyed that perfect cheese pull and tangy barbeque sauce.

Hibachi World.

JJ’s Chuckwagon.

Meatballerz.

Mule House Pizza

Murray Kitchen: The Gator King. Though the gator plate tempted us, we gave in to the shrimp po-boy. This wasn’t your New Orleans classic, but it was tasty, nevertheless. Instead of traditional French bread, the fried shrimp were stuffed into a hollowed-out hoagie-style roll. A tasty honey peppered sauce accompanied the po-boy, perfect as a dip for the sandwich or the steak fries. You can find them on Facebook.

This wasn’t a traditional poboy on New Orleans-style French bread, but the hollowed-out hoagie mad a good vessel for the fried shrimp.

Phat Katz Barbeque

PolkNAround Grill. We sampled a chicken taco plate that was well-spiced and yummy. It was lots of food, so we had some carry-home when we hit our lunch-time limit. They have a Facebook page.

Rustic Coffee Box. Perfect choice after a cool morning of hiking nearby.

Scoville Hot Chicken

Summer’s Sweets. Operating during the periodic crafts and farmer’s market, we enjoyed their soft, moist, filling chocolate brownie. To be fully transparent, we took it home for several of us to enjoy it with milk — just because we were too stuffed from lunch to eat more but just couldn’t pass up the tempting treat. When not exhibiting at local food shows, you’ll find them at their home base in Dallas, GA. Check out their webpage and Facebook pages for more.

We definitely didn’t NEED a dessert after our filling lunch, but we certainly WANTED ONE after seeing these from Summer’s Sweets.
