Jun 13, 2026"I've gotten Root Down a few times at the West Asheville Tailgate Market now. A good burger is a subjective thing that's going to vary from person to person, but I'm really inclined to say that this is my favorite burger period. Really wonderful patty, perfect brioche bun, extremely fresh ingredients. We've also had the Market Garden Wrap and that was likewise perfect. The employees I've interacted with have also always been super nice with fast service."

May 08, 2026"This is a mobile food truck so they're not always at New Belgium, but I like being able to leave / find reviews. Check their website or instagram for current location and hours. The fried chicken sandwich IS very good, but it's impossible to bite like a burger unless your jaw unhinges like a snake. Super juicy and flavorful chicken, well fried crispy coating, amazing avocado and cabbage slaw. Toss out the brioche bun, you don't need it. The mac and cheese is more cheese than mac, which isn't a bad thing, just be sure to add a pinch of salt and you're good. Friendly staff, super quick turnaround. I waited maybe 6 minutes for my order. Takes cash and credit."
