Challah Food Truck

Their chicken salad sandwich was great. It's legit white and dark meat pulled straight for the chicken (not literal, but you get the picture). Plenty of it, to add. A very small amount of mayo used - a double-plus! Fresh dill. Those simple flavors, meshed with the sweet Hawaiian Kings esque soft bun was awesome! The slivers of purple onion and a few pickle slices dressed it up good and dandy. Interesting setup: there's no proper counter to order at. Just walk up to the open doorway in the back right corner, tell em what you want, pay and wait for them to call your name.

Challah has a window at Woodlands Tavern, so that's what I'm reviewing, but it sounds like it's the same stuff as on the truck.Lots of sandwiches on the menu, but I wanted bar food, to go, so I got some pastrami wings to start. Good wings, not great- pastrami spices, fairly meaty, not bad. I also got fried brussels sprouts. Yowza! Small sprouts, fried in, I believe, brown sugar and prosecco. So, a little sweet, a little sour, very good. Finally, some schmaltz potatoes. I wasn't sure if they'd be mashed or what; they were essentially potato wedges, but the best potato wedges I have ever had. Soft inside, a bit crispy outside, great fatty flavor with a little salt. Man, they were good.I'd go back here, or the truck, to explore the menu. They know what they're doing.

Awesome. Perfect way to start the weekend, with a day off and a music filled night. This time here for a gig for my man's band, Plow Horse. We have been waiting to play at this venue for awhile. Come here all the time for shows and wanted to get our foot in the door, to be able to play this venue again. I guess I should start out with some general info. Challah is actually located inside Woodlands Tavern. I will definitely be back to Woodlands if not for the food it will be for the beer and their happy hour prices. But the food was incredible. It was hard to believe that it came from a bar. We shared our food of course. We got the Crispy Chicken Sandwich and the Greg's Pastrami Wings which are brined, dry rubbed & smoked. Both were insanely great and are worth coming back for again and again. Which of course we will do. It also helps that this location is just around the corner from my job. I could actually walk to it from my work building, but I usually don't. I would be interested in knowing if there is still a food truck that goes around. I am only aware of the location at Woodlands. Please update your website with updated info on this for your customers & to get new ones. Some people do not visit bar or establishments that serve alcohol, yes believe it or not. So it would good to be able to provide locations to friends and family members.

Great food!!! I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich several times. I love the three thin breast, friend with cornmeal, on a sweet bun with special mayo and thin sliced red onion and cucumber not pickle... Surprisingly Fantastic!!!And the Smoked Chicken wings marinated in pastrami juice... Great Creativity and great taste!!!

Challah's been around for a little while now, and they've really done a good job of improving their menu over the years, either by adding new items or dropping ones that weren't working. I had read about this truck a couple years ago and stopped in (They're at Seventh Son all the time) then to try out the chicken sandwich, since I'd heard from a couple people saying how good it was. I did, and it was very good, if not a bit too salty for my liking. The ladies working were really nice and really seemed to enjoy running the place.Fast forward to last week, and I've had Challah on numerous occasions and have tried all types of things on the menu from the salmon sandwiches to goat belly tacos. I brought my buddy down to the Columbus Commons food court, and he decided he wanted to try the chicken sandwich, since I'd talked it up for so long. We both had it along with the Schmaltz potatoes, which are boiled potatoes that they break down and then cook in the chicken fat and what tasted like vinegar.I remember the chicken being one piece the first time I had Challah, but now they have it sliced pretty thin and breaded and fried that way. It gives a whole bunch of crunch, and it actually wasn't as salty anymore. There is a lot of fried batter, so beware, but it is very tasty. It was my first time having Schmaltz potatoes, and those were on a whole other level. Man, they were delicious. I couldn't tell what the dipping sauce was (like a fluffy sour scream mixed with dill), but it went with it really well. My buddy and I both really loved those.Challah is another Columbus food truck staple nowadays, and if you're looking to get another take on a Friday chicken sandwich that's not Hot Chicken, then this is the place to do it. My old roommate thought it was the best chicken sandwich in Columbus, and it is pretty damn good; however, they're also putting out all kinds of delicious food and not just chicken. I definitely recommend it.

I so wanted to love this place! I wanted to say "Challah made me Holla!". I heart food trucks and supporting local. I waited thirty minutes outside of the Seventh Son Brewery (w/Hibiscus Beer in hand) to taste the cuisine and I am sorely wishing for those thirty minutes back (albeit I met two pretty cool guys in line). I will start with the good...the Challah was standard Jewish Challah and pretty good.The Corned Beef on Challah was surprisingly decent and had the most flavor out of the three samplings I had. I would recommend this only if you are drinking and the truck is the only food truck present.You get three sliders sandwiches for ten bucks, which you can mix & match from the menu which is relatively small being there are six items. They ran out of Potato Latkes while I was in line, but one of the guys behind me let me still a bite of his. I''ll advise below.My biggest disappointment...the Crispy Chicken Sandwich on Challah:The sandwich looked beautiful perfectly golden and crispy, but upon taking a bite I got a mouth full of boring!!!! I was anticipating (after the additional wait of 15 mins for my food to be ready) a burst of flavor and spice, but got bland and lackluster. My advice keep the sandwich, but for gods sake add some seasoning!Next the Smoked Fish on Challah:Arrrgh....If you wanted to sadden me further you indeed get an applause! Seriously???? This was like the mother in law's specialty that everyone avoids at every function. Yet again, did we run out of seasoning or creativity? I wanted to run back to the truck and attack the Chef by throwing Season All or at least some Mrs. Dash. I did get the opinions of three random (white trendster guys) about the food as they ordered the same selection as myself. Two of the guys who were in a hurry to meet friends after the wait thought the food was good. The opinion that matters the most was the Random Gay Guy!!!!! He literally took the words out of my mouth and said "....this is BORING and mediocre!" So true...I hope that they at least improve on the seasoning and have some one taste the food that has working taste buds. I would really like them to succeed.

What I look for in a new restaurant is a food choice that I would not make for myself at home or a food that is so memorable I specifically crave it. At Challah! I am happy to report that I found both. First, I would never think pare a roasted beet with ricotta cheese, then add a bun and pickled onions. It's an inspired sandwich. Next, in looking for something incredibly surprising, the white fish sandwich rocked my palate. Just thinking of the flavor makes me wonder where the truck is parked tonight.I look forward to trying this restaurant again.

Every Sunday my husband and I make a special trip out to this food truck for their crispy chicken sandwiches-- they're that good. Actually, everything in the menu is great, but the sandwiches have the perfect combo of crispy fried goodness and slight sweet, soft bread-- doesn't get any better! Service is great too-- they are super friendly. Worth seeking our Challah wherever they are.

As Markie Mark F. says, "the best chicken sandwich in the great state of Ohio!" Those who wish to challenge Mr F.'s statement, please stand-up and get in line and be ready for a MMA beat down! Challah's chicken sandwich is definitely blessed by the good lord. And his son agrees! That's Jesus! Jesus agrees! Yes! The chicken sandwich is blessed by Jesus! And here's another exclamation ! To drive the point home. If anyone can give me their location schedule. I will be your friend. Your Yelp friend, that is...I have a fear of commitment.

When an establishment makes such bold proclamations like "BEST CHICKEN SANDWICH IN COLUMBUS," I have to investigate such claims. Between this and rumors of Chicken & Waffles ice cream, I was beyond intrigued when I approached the truck on a recent Sunday. Unfortunately, they were out of the aforementioned ice cream, but I was able to get my hands on the crispy chicken sandwich. Was it the best? I don't know, I haven't eaten every chicken sandwich in town (yet), but they're damn close. The chicken isn't weighed down with heavy breading, it's somehow light and crisp, with fresh tasting toppings, and a fluffy bun to boot. If you like dill, you will appreciate the herby sauce they use. My companions had the fried potatoes as well, and were in heaven. I still need to go back for the ice cream, but if this sandwich was any indication, it will be worth the trip.
