1850 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta GA 30318
The one and only permanent spot in Atlanta, Ga. to experience the culinary delights of the city’s beloved food trucks. In 2012, Howard Hsu acquired the 4-acre old, vacant hotel location at 1850 Howell Mill Road to rehabilitate the community site and transform it into the family-friendly Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market. Today, foodies of all ages and ethnicities congregate to enjoy rotating food trucks with a wide range of culinary cuisines and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Visitors can enjoy lunch and dinner at the Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market with covered and open-air seating, corn hole, live entertainment, free parking and an on-site ATM. The food truck hub continues to grow, which is why the park added a weekend farmer’s market and occasional artist markets to join the trucks.
First, find out when your favorite food truck will be at Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market by checking their calendar. All food trucks’ availability and schedules are subject to change because Atlanta Food Truck Park does not dictate schedules for any food trucks; it’s all up to the food truck owners. For the most accurate daily food truck lineup check out the park’s Facebook or calendar the day before you plan to visit. The park announces the final lineup the previous day to guarantee accuracy. Second, when you arrive, take advantage of Atlanta Food Truck Park’s free parking lot. The map above, rendered from the vantage point of an individual standing at the park’s entrance in the official parking lot, provides the basic layout of the park. Tour the food truck area to find what your stomach desires. If you are short on cash, there is no need to fret with the on-site ATM located in the front left corner of the food truck area, at the base of the park’s billboard. Third, plan to stay awhile for a round of corn hole, equipment avialable on site or you are welcome to bring your own. Linger by the stage to enjoy live music, another reason to check the park’s calendar.

We do have a one way entrance directly off of Howell Mill Road , but the easiest entrance is off of Emery Street which connects from Beck St (between Willy's and Shell station) and off of Collier Road. The Emery Street entrance provides the easiest in and out access.
Up to 15 different trucks at one time. Remember, the trucks rotate daily and the park determines the lineup based on the schedule set by the individual truck owners.
Yes, there will be a weekend farmers market from 3pm - 8pm on Saturdays and 11am - 4pm on Sundays. Artist market is coming soon. Check out the market’s featured vendors.
According to Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market, “friendly leashed dogs are welcome outside the dining/seating area and food truck area.”
Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market provides two helpful sets of directions.
If you are traveling North on I-75 from Downtown Atlanta: Take Exit 252B for Howell Mill Road and turn right off the exit. At the Shell Gas station, turn left onto Beck St. Turn left at the first stop sign onto Emery St. Entrance to the Atlanta Food Park will be directly ahead.

You could say it all started with Sweet Auburn BBQ. Owner Howard Hsu is the founder and current co-owner of Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market after all. Their signature barbeque plate was my first Atlanta food truck dish. And boy oh boy did it make an impression. The sauce options allow you to customize your sugar, spice and tang levels to guarantee you enjoy every bite of the tender meat. They do barbeque just right offering plates or sandwiches, but always providing a generous amount of pickles (a requirement in my opinion). My side recommendation is the not-too-sweet but perfectly creamy sweet potatoes. Do yourself a favor and splurge on a glass of either their fresh-brewed mint tea or fresh-squeezed strawberry lemonade. My one critique is the food truck’s frequent cash-only restriction. But what Southern Belle wouldn’t brave an ATM fee for a taste of slow-smoked barbeque meats and refreshing sweet tea?
Savory or sweet, Crepe Suzette makes it incredibly easy to select your crepe du jour. There is a savory crepe menu and a separate one for sweet crepes, but I would suggest trying one from each. Authentic French flavors fill the melt-in-your-mouth crepes. The size of a single crepe is certainly big enough for a complete meal for one. If you take my advice and try a savory and a sweet, share with a Francophile friend or wrap it up to go. Crepe Suzette accepts all forms of payment. This is my go-to truck when it’s in the lineup. Apparently it is a favorite for many because I have been denied my first crepe of choice when the truck was fresh out of a key ingredient. However, this can lead to delish custom crepes when the workers help you concoct a crepe similar to what you crave.
King of Pops is quickly winning the hearts of every Atlantan. They are popping up at other Atlanta spots, like on the Willy’s Mexicana Grill menu and the Starlight Six Drive-In Theater’s concessions list. To be honest, it is hard not to love the homemade popsicles made with organic, farm-fresh ingredients. The flavors have southern charm and classic appeal, like the Arnold Palmer and Chocolate Sea Salt. The pops are simultaneously crisp and creamy; anyone’s dream on a warm day. They can get messy, so don’t forget a few napkins, but they do not melt as quickly as a traditional ice cream cone. The only downside is there is never enough. Atlanta Food Truck Park and Market is home to a small King of Pops cart only. Get to the park early and have dessert first to have your pick of the day’s featured flavors.
