The Lucky Peach

I just swallowed my last bite of the buffalo chicken wrap from The Lucky Peach. The flavor combination of spicy buffalo chicken and cool, crisp green apples with gorgonzola is a winner for sure. I checked out their menu online before walking over to where they were parked in my office complex, so I had already picked out a few menu items I wanted to try before I got there. Unfortunately they weren’t serving any of those items today, but that just makes me look forward to the next time they come to visit even more, as there are quite a few items on their menu that I can’t wait to try!

The blackened tuna wrap is pretty flavorful and big, as is the chicken salad. So if you’re anti-​food trucks because they’re so expensive, you will feel less gypped with their portions and selections.

Menu is 95% poultry. I am allergic to poultry. If you don’t like poultry, you won’t like this truck. It makes me sad when I see «Lucky Peach» on the calendar for my location. Very, very sad.

I ordered the sweet potato biscuit with ham and peach jam-​it was AMAZING! The black bean brownie wasn’t too much of a win for me-​the texture and aftertaste just… Was confusing. The shrimp po’boy was delectable as well as the potato salad. I definitely will make another visit.

The Lucky Peach came to our school picnic and was a huge hit. Their wraps got rave reviews and I personally chose a delightful Quinoa Salad. It was light, super fresh, and delicious. I truly appreciated the healthy options. Their service was quick and friendly.

The Lucky Peach set up in front of my office recently and it was delicious! I am definitely a fan and would love to try some of the other foods that they offer! The people running the truck were super nice and very helpful.
I tried the buffalo chicken wrap and it was packed with flavor! I would highly recommend the buffalo chicken wrap to anyone that can handle a little heat in their food.

Yuck! Had pulled pork on a dessert cake. It was so sick and had sweet apple on top. Nasty and gross don’t start to explain.

I was at Oconnors Brewery today, got a little hungry and decided to try the food trucks outside. The Lucky Peach based on their menu, but was very disappointed. I ordered the Buffalo Wrap and the Veggie Empanadas. Once I got the food back inside, the wrap was very cold on the inside and the tortilla was warm. The empanadas although ordered to be veggie looked like ground beef and had a funny «all spice» taste to them.

I have only had recent experience with food trucks. I have made an effort to locate them and give them a try. Some have been much better than others. This review is somewhat tardy after now trying The Lucky Peach out around half dozen times and really enjoying them. Today I even got some pics of the food which is not always an easy task.
The truck owners are Jamie and Meghan. Two women who work the truck themselves and conceived the idea of following a dream for a restaurant… but on wheels. So less than a year ago they debuted a fresh menu concept on their Lucky Peach Truck.
I am now following The Lucky Peach on their facebook
page which supplies their schedule of where the truck will be. This is of course extremely helpful. today I located them at the AMSEC building on Cleveland St. in VB. in the rear of the building.
With kids in tow this time we set off for a bit of an adventure. So after the car was parked in the lot we spotted several picnic tables that would serve as our picnic area. The truck was spotted along with another food truck.
I found Meghan was working the truck today. Her daughter Ava was hanging out up front. The truck was clean and presented well as it has on each visit.
So after checking out the menu I ordered my usual Roast Beast and the kids ordered the Turkey & Bacon dry and Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Prices are most certainly affordable. Chips and bottled drinks are available too. Check out was easy off a system using a cell phone.
So off we went to find a picnic table among the office workers. My daughter loved her turkey bacon, my son did not care for the buffalo chicken wrap, it is a little spicy. I tried it and thought the sandwich was unique with slices of apples and a kick… I like it. The Roast Beast has been the standard sandwich I have enjoyed the last few times. It is sophisticated and refined and will surprise you with ample roast beef, goat cheese spinach and a special sauce they make in house. I love it.
Check out their facebook page and follow the path of The Lucky Peach truck. Most likely you will find them in a convenient location near you.

The ladies who run this truck are friendly, fun, and totally gorgeous. I’ve only encountered the truck in Downtown Norfolk, so I can’t vouch for their rotating menu at special events or on weekends.
I’m absolutely in love with their quinoa salad. The ingredients vary depending on what’s in season, which is fantastic but sometimes causes slight variations in portion size. The roast beast is also delicious, although I think it would be even better if it were served hot. Their chicken salad is great and a good substitution for the grilled chicken normally on the quinoa salad.
Get there early in the day, they sometimes run out of menu items or key ingredients if you wait until 1pm to eat lunch. The food truck schedule rotates frequently, so follow them on Facebook for the most up-​to-​date information.

Just had The Lucky Peach for lunch and it was very good! I ordered the Fresh Blackened Tuna wrap assuming that the wrap came with chunks or strips of blackened tuna. Upon opening the sandwich it appeared to be tuna salad. Still very tasty and had good spices but it would have been nice to know that I was ordering more of a salad than just the blackened tuna. I will go back and eat there again though!

The Lucky Peach posts up downtown Norfolk for lunch along with several other trucks and I have tried several of them. The Lucky Peach blows them all away. I’m a big fan of their Chica Chica wrap and the buffalo chicken wrap. Both are light but very flavorful and has lots of tasty goodness. They often sell out of their black bean brownie but if you get a chance to get one of those, it’s a must. They are incredible and taste like a naughty brownie (ya know the ones people say are bad for you, lol) but turns out they are pretty darn good for you.
I highly recommend trying anything on their menu if you are lucky enough to come across this food truck.

I tried the buffalo chicken wrap and I was not impressed … On paper it sounded great but it was very very bland. The Gorgonzola apple slaw seemed to work against the flavor of the buffalo chicken rather than with it.
I will def give the truck another shot because the other menu items sounded great, and the other reviews were great. The women working the truck were very charismatic and helpful.

Food trucks are another reason for loving Norfolk. It’s the first time seeing The Lucky Peach’s presence. The menu contained various wraps, but one of the ladies enticed me to order the featured salad, of which I posted a photo. The salad consisted of quinoa on a bed of lettuce, topped with chicken breast, chick peas, asparagus, tomatoes, grapes, strawberries, feta cheese and a homemade basil vinaigrette dressing! After arriving home, I ate every last bit of my yummy $ 7.25 lunch. If only I had the time and creativity to make a salad like that for work! I hope to catch The Lucky Peach again on my days off.

I ordered the Blackened Tuna Wrap from The Lucky Peach this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. The shredded tuna, lettuce and tomato tasted incredibly fresh. I believe there were bits of jalapeño mixed in and when mixed with the blackening seasoning gave it a great kick– but not too overpowering so as not to taste the flavor of the tuna.
I was a bit disappointed that the tuna was no in bigger chunks rather than shredded, but overall the wrap had an assortment of flavors, and for $ 7.25 it was well worth it.
I was pleasantly greeted, as were the other customers and the order was prepared quickly.
Kudos to the Lucky Peach!

I tried their quinoa salad with chicken and feta a few weeks ago and loved it! I wish there had been a few more salad greens, but it was good enough to where I have been craving it for weeks. I haven’t seen their truck back in downtown Norfolk since then so I’ve had to seek a similar dish at the Lizard Café (in Prince Books) but it didn’t compare and was really pricey. Hope to see the Lucky Peach again soon!

A co-​worker and I decided to give The lucky Peach a try. After a few other food trucks falling a little short, we were delighted by what we got from The Lucky Peach. First, the workers in the truck were very friendly and answered questions we had about the menu. Second, our food was Great! I tried the roast beef and my co-​worker had the buffalo chicken wrap (which was magical) The food had great flavor and had some new twists on old favorites. I would recommend the Black Bean Brownie… I was very skeptical, but they had samples… it was better than most «regular» brownies. I am excited to eat from the The Lucky Peach, will definitely have to try something different next time, because everything looked amazing!

Food Truck!
The Peach pulled into town today and having had success with some of the others, I thought I’d give it a try. Emblazoned on the side of the truck, they talked about fresh goodness, how could I turn that down?
So, I got there kinda late in the afternoon (like 1:30ish) and they were honestly sold of out everything except for the Roast Beast[sic]! This is a good thing, although it doesn’t mean I wasn’t a litttttle bit sad. Just the same, Roast Beast it was. It was a tasty combination of red roast beef (I say that because I think big piles of dark brown roast beef feels processed), complete with a generous portion of goat cheese, peppers, spinach and a great sauce. The sign on the side of the truck didn’t lie, this was a great sandwich.
All that said, there are no shortage of sandwich shops in the area, and some of them have definitely gotten it down. So I’m looking forward to trying out some of the other menu items to see if they can really differentiate themselves from the pack.
If you see the Peach, stop in. The folks inside were extremely charismatic (which is important for a food truck!) and the food was tasty. They take credit cards!
