What a gem! Fresh food made to order. No processed or frozen substitutes. Serving sizes and pricing are very generous. Chef was kind and welcoming. He said it would take some time to prep my food because he was going to caramelize the plantains. They were perfect 👌 After ordering, I went into the mill building to eat at the indoor tables (it was December). It's a beautiful location with several art studios and a record store.

Absolutely amazing! Got the portobello steak as a wrap and couldn't be happier with my choice! Besides making great food that is good for you, they will also help you get healthy by giving dietary input and advice. Highly recommended!

Absolutely delicious - tried the spinach dip wrap, the portabello wrap, and the pineapple T. All of it was so good. As others have said, Chef goes at his own pace so it can be a bit of a wait but totally worth it. Huge portions, wonderful food, good vibes.

I come here at least once a month. Has off beat hours and it's not fast food but absolutely worth the wait. Don't let the prices scare you off, his portions are incredible and every dish will feed two people or last for two meals, I'm a healthy eater and can't finish one by myself. The teas are really tasty as well. It's really vegan centric but anyone can enjoy this food, I love meat but his meat substitutes hit the spot just as good as the real thing and with more flavor. Give him a shot if you happen to be in the area.

If you remain patient you will eat one of the best meals you've ever eaten. I am a non-vegan and the vegan food made by chef Will is incredible and so so very worth it. Everyone involved with the palate is incredibly kind and generous and friendly. Chef Will gave my partner a free nacho platter after a minor incident with our food, and then two free watermelon drinks for our patience. I've never experienced such kindness and generosity from any eating establishment. Thank you all for the amazing experience and frankly mind blowing food. The portabello pepper steak wrap will change your life.

It's a food truck parked outside the arts center. Each meal is made fresh. Unfortunately, that means if there's people in front of you, you're going to have a long wait. Meals were $15 each regardless of what you ordered, cash. The portion was large, and with the fresh ingredients, worth every penny. The chef is eccentric, but as the name suggests, has an amazing palate.

★★★★

I am rating this with a caveat...exceptional food but slow service. I really wanted to give Chef Will the Palate 5 stars for service. I cannot based on how slow the service is. My friend placed our orders and unfortunately it was over an hour before our food was ready. Moving on, the food was delicious and the ingredients were fresh (perhaps the reason it took so long). I got a quinoa bowl and there was enough to eat for lunch the following day. The prices are reasonable and the food is good for you. If you don't mind the wait, check them out.

The food is great, but it is difficult to actually arrive when food is being served.

We want to spend our money here but Chef Will is making that difficult to do

He is never there. Edited: I m editing this a few years later and honestly I can say that day I was just very hungry and he wasn t there. He is just 1 man and you have to understand that, but this is one of the top vegan/vegetarian food places you re going to love. I live in Florida now and I am craving his great cooking so much. Did I mention that everything is home grown and no food is store bought. Amazing Quality.

I was looking for a restaurant but THANKFULLY I found Chef Will s food truck outside of the Lowe Mill. My goodness gracious this food was AMAZING for someone who has been vegan for just one year-post heart surgery. I live two hours away and was just in town for an event at the VBCC, looked for best vegan places near me and the rest is history give me two hours or a day with the wife and this is a no brainer to drive back up for Chef Will

Update (2022): The wait is still long but the customer service has greatly improved and the food has even gotten much better. So before finally having a taste of the food I had made 3 attempts previously 2 of which he was too busy to address me standing there because as the sign said busy catering which wasnt a problem if it werent during hours that they previously claimed to be open. Long story short his customer service leaves an awful taste and the food wasnt worth the shabby customer service experience it came with which definitely was overshadowing.

Of course the best food in the world is cooked in a food truck around the back of a building in Alabama. Chef Will matter-of-factly introduced himself as a Culinary Artist, and true to form, created a masterpiece of fine art: chickpea tortillas topped with peppered mushrooms, arugula and other plants topped with a walnut sauce. Ive traveled to the best vegan restaurants in many cities, even internationally, and Ive found the best plant-based cuisine. In Huntsville. All I can think about is the recipe for this Walnut Sauce.

I have been waiting for over a year now to try Chef Wills food, and it far exceeded my expectations. I had the blackened portobello peppersteak sandwich, and it blew me away. The sandwich was substantial, grilled to perfection and topped with a freshly made walnut-cheese-sauce. Chef Will was so nice, and let me try his house-made sea-moss shot - it was gingery, peppery, and woke me right up! I cant wait for our next trip out to Huntsville- Chef Will the Palates food truck is a must for lunch or dinner in Rocket City!

That trailer has seen better days. Its almost scary looking when you find this food trailer close to the water tower. The question was: Would the cover be a sign of its content? Nah! The food from Chef Will is outstanding vegetarian, vegan food that tickles your palate. Being a vegetarian for more than 30 years, I never had anything that could compare. I deeply enjoyed the broad range of flavors and textures of the quinoa bowl, although it made me wonder what kind of a mad man would pack so many different traditions on one plate. The quinoa bowl underscored that plant based food is not incomplete and that it does not need a highly processed meat substitute. The food is old school in the best imaginable way and impressively inventive. The dish comes lightly spiced and herbed to let the veggies shine but you get a sauce on the side that works very well with the quinoa and the plantains. Best of all it is surprisingly affordable. Tip well, he deserves it.

Chef will i feel definetly puts love into his food. His seamoss drinks are super delicious and very healthy. I have been suffering with seasonal allergies since coming to Alabama and as I was speaking to a young lady standing behind me about it, Chef hands us both a shot of from what I believe to be ginger seamoss that was quite delicious. His sons cookies and bluberry lemon drop cupcake is also amazing. Ill be back Chef!! Continue what you are doing sir. Peace and Love

The food went to fast to make pictures. I will post pictures another time. This is a vegan/vegetarian food truck located at Lowe Mills. The things he can do with Portobello Mushrooms is heavenly! He makes this Ahhhmazing Spinach and Portobello Mushrooms wrap and it is to die for. Then there are his Super Teas there is something for each of your ailments. His hours vary and he is not open on Sun and Mon. Swing by when you can, the wait can be long because your food is made right at the time of ordering. Peace and Blessings!

This was a food truck and I mustve waited an hour to place the order and recieve my food. It was worth every last minute! We ordered the Portobello Pepper Steak wrap and the black bean tacos.

I am from Huntsville but moved out of state. I enjoy coming to chef will when i am in town. I came today 11/09/22 at 2 on the dot because thats what time it says he opens on here. Well i expected him not to be open yet. I know he doesn t always open right at two. I waited an hour for him to open. Nobody once spoke to me or said anything to me. No sign was up saying when they would open. Very unprofessional. I sat there for an hour 6 months pregnant with my 4 year old waiting patiently because that s really really what i wanted. I was getting 3 meals and a drink. Well he missed out on that order because next thing i know a family comes and his helper or son i believe? Tell them they will open at 3:30 i was shocked one because why wouldnt you tell me that? You saw me sitting here waiting with my child and you have seen me here SEVERAL times in the past week. I come often and always order atleast 2-3 meals and drink. Or atleast put up a sign or something! I left at that point as hungry and drained as i was again 6 months pregnant. And had planned my whole day around going to chef will to support his business. The food is obviously very good thats why i waited patiently but i had to draw a line somewhere and i left. I would if come back but its the PRINCIPAL of the matter. Do better business. Put a sign up. Speak to your customers who are supporting your business consistently especially! Open on time maybe? Or atleast change the times on google if 2 is not accurate. Post on Instagram when youll be opening if its later than usual. Oh not to mention the way he takes the orders makes everything take longer. He takes your order and makes it and will not take anymore until he is done with that order. I cant complain about that its his business let him run it how he wants it works and the food is fresh just gotta be patient but if theres more than 2-3 people in front of you it will be a hell of a long wait. Keep in mind one person may be ordering 2 or more meals and may have someone with them. Thats also the reason i waited i wanted to stay the first in line didnt want to risk losing my spot. Im extremly disappointed and i dont know if i will return before i left Alabama. Or at all. Im opening a food truck in texas and i am thankful to know what NOT to do for my business. Wishing you well and i hope you can do better for your customers because without them there is no food truck.

I recently went here after a friend of mine suggested it. This spot is just outside of Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment in a small white food truck that has the restaurant moniker painted on the side with a quirky creative painted pic of the chef. It gives off a personal vibe. My initial impression of the restaurant was not the most pleasant. The chef was not friendly and was actually rude. I got up there and thought he couldnt see us waiting (we stood there for a while before I called out) I thought he couldnt hear me through my mask as I was speaking since thats a normal thing since the pandemic but after my third excuse me he spat out I heard you and continued to ignore me. That put me off. He could acknowledge us and told us he would be with us in a minute or something. I would normally leave before spending my money at a place like that. Despite the poor service the food was actually very good. I ordered a portobello steak skirt wrap. It was super flavorful and hearty. The portion size was pretty big and it came with some chips, sauce and sour cream. (He asked if I ate dairy before including it.) The chips were salted just right and I didnt even really need any extra sauces for anything. Its prices are comparable to any normal food truck but the portion size and flavor is worth it. It does take a while for the food to be prepared, he seemed to be the only person working in the truck, but there are seating areas with heat if its cold out or you can wait in your car. Im not a vegetarian or vegan but the food was great none the less. Its good quality food from a black owned business.

I was super excited a friend told me about a Black owned vegan restaurant near me. I went a week earlier but couldn t order because there was no more food. I decided to come by today since I had plenty of time to wait. I walked up and the chef didn t even acknowledge my presence. I was trying to start a conversation and said the mushroom platter sounds delicious. He continues to look very annoyed of my presence. Then I asked is it okay for me to order. (Simply because he didn t seem to want to serve me) he told me, Can t you see our sign says open! That s the reason I m here right? At this point I walked away and left. I never seen this man in my life I still can t understand why he was angry with me wanting to try his food. Feeling we are both Black men he would at least be a halfway decent human towards me.. maybe he was having a bad day and I will try it again one day. If he has the same attitude he never has to worry about me again... it s another Black owned vegan restaurant coming to Huntsville. I can t wait to try them when they get here since this one has so much attitude towards me for no apparent reason.

Who says you can t get full off veggies? Well I m here to say that you can. I had a weekend visit with a friend in Huntsville. My friend recommended we check out a vegetarian/vegan food truck. Even though I m normally a meat eater, I was open to the idea because I also love veggies. When we got there, a small line of people were in front of the food truck. To note we waited for a long time because Chef Will was going one at a time taking orders and then making the food to order. I felt for him having to do both tasks, so I didn t mind the wait. When we got to our turn to order, my friend ordered the portobello steak wrap, and I got the portobello steak sandwich. I must say the food was very impressive. My sandwich was full of ripe avocado, mounds of spinach and sautéed portobello mushrooms. On the side was round tortilla chips with sour cream and some type of hot sauce. It was so good. The only thing missing was the meat lol jk. Seriously this place was delicious, and I didn t miss the meat. Great job Chef Will!

The food was very good overall, but the pricing I received and the wait were both ridiculous. We waited about an hour and a half behind 3 groups of customers until we had our order taken. We ordered two smoothies and two wraps and luckily our food was done relatively quickly after ordering, approximately 5-10 minutes. I then asked how much it would be and was told that the total was $36. I was a little shocked at the price as the prices on his site seemed much lower and it also seemed that he was charging the other customers in front of me significantly less. This could just be a mistake or it was done intentionally towards me or the prices for the food here are just insane. I am happy to help a small business out, especially if they are serving up a great product; however, because of the pricing and the wait I had during my first experience here, I will not be coming back to Chef Wills truck anytime soon.

HEARD ITS GREAT...BUT.. ALWAYS CLOSED Note: This review is only based on reliability/availability not quality. Ive dropped in on the truck 4 times in when in town since 2018 and all my friends give Will rave reviews. But, last time I dropped in was yesterday around noon on 2021/07/18 and the sign said open so I was excited and also very hungry but, was told a cooking class was going on till 3pm. 7 days prior I stopped by and the truck and area around were desolate. The truck was closed. Also, 2 times in October 2018 when I was here last the same deal, the truck was closed. Sorry, but I have just got to not give a lot of stars for 4 out of 4 visits and the place had always been closed. I think reliability is a good data point.

We drove to Huntsville from Atlanta and this food truck was great! The food was amazing and our wait was minimal.

I REALLY wanted to like this spot because its not as if Huntsville has a lot of vegan options. Unfortunately it just didnt land for me. Lets start with the positives. The food was prepared in a timely manner and the entree itself was quite nice. The servings are generous and could easily make two meals if youre minding your portions. The less than stellar? We order two to-go plates and both came smudged on the outside with food. We cleaned them off ourselves, a necessity since we werent given a bag to carry them in. We ordered the sorrel drink and were really excited to realize it was made with real sorrel (some people make theirs from syrup). We were disappointed to find the drink extremely tart with very little taste of ginger (its meant to be sweet with at least a mild kick of ginger) Both of our entrees came with a generous helping of unseasoned rice. The blackened portabella was delicious but there wasnt enough of it to flavor the abundance of rice. The avocado was under-ripe: I worried my fork tine might break trying to cut through it. The plantain was nice but nothing special and the plate as a whole took a liberal dash of Braggs aminos and some hot sauce to wake it up. If you are familiar with southern cooking or Caribbean cuisine this may not be the spot for you, youll miss that authentic flavor. If youre vegan, be sure to ask which menu items are vegan and which are vegetarian as theyre not marked and some items are not vegan. As other reviewers have mentioned, the hours are sporadic. This was my third time trying to get food from here and he was finally open. I wouldnt call the chef friendly but he wasnt rude. Overall this isnt a bad place to eat, its just not great, which is pretty disappointing.

The BEST portobello sandwich EVER! They happily made the sandwich vegan by switching the dairy dressing to a non-dairy dressing. The chipotle sauce was so delicious and it was a very generous serving size. Highly recommend!

Very poor customer service. Although the food is great they need to work on there customer service. The hours are stated 12-6pm . Me and my sister arrived at 2:30 today and he had the sign closed on . So my sister walked up and asked when will he be open and he stated doesn t it say close? In a very rude manner. After my sister walked away he turned the sign on for open . Then two ladies walked up to get there food they ordered . Literally seconds after he said a rude comment. The food is good but if you don t mind poor customer service by all means. I tip chef will very well ($15) every time I come. I recommend him to lost of people Never have I had this problem with him but it won t happen again.

This spot is the Truth! Hands down some ofthe best vegan food I have had since I made the change seven years ago; and I travel all over the US. Now if you want your food with that I get what I want and when I want it attitude. Stay tf home, he is going to get to it with care and love so it is goijg tto take as long as that takes. If you have been over seas think of how Europ is, laied back and slow. When I got there he had a sign up saing brb. I sat for like a hour waiting on him to get back. We called and he told us he was getting supplies and it would take a while. But everyone talked about this dude like he was the Jamaican Messiah of food all I can say is church.

I said, dont make it deal now and I come and get a ticket shock... the Chef said, this is my regular prices... AWESOME! the serving size is off the charts.

After hearing so many good things about Chef Will and his vegetarian and vegan food, I had to try it. My girlfriend ordered the Portabella Philly Cheesesteak, and when Chef Will asked me what I wanted I told him I would share with her. He replied, I ll make it big, then. We went upstairs for about 15 minutes, looking at all the creative things made by the local artists, and when we got back down to The Palate, Chef Will presented us with the biggest wrap I had ever seen. Although it was the best vegan food I had ever eaten, we could only eat a quarter of it. It was huge and cost ten bucks. The pita bread was perfectly toasted and its fillings were delicious. He even put seasoned tortilla chips underneath to catch the overflow of ingredients, creating the best nachos in the world (probably). Chef Will buys his ingredients fresh and local every morning, and you can really taste the difference when your food is prepared by someone who truly cares about food and the people who eat it.

Hearty vegan food. Huntsville certainly needs more vegan focussed options such as the Chef. The wait for the food was very long...we waited almost 40 minutes after placing the order. However, it was generally good food. Maybe some shade right in front of the truck for people to stand while they wait might be a good idea?

I finally did it. After all these years of (for no readily apparent reason) not indulging in this fine local cuisine myself, I am now one of the cool kids that has had Chef Will create something magical for my tum-tum. I walked up, asked if he would just make something, anything at all, for me to enjoy without restriction. He narrowed down the ideas to a meal as opposed to a wrap or sammy, then went to town creating this wonderful experience in a box. Im talkin portobellos, avocado, rice, carrot, fried banana, tomato, and the perfectly shaped romaine shells that I could (and did) use to fill with all that goodness. Those blackened portobellos are better by large margin than many of the steaks you can find around town. Were lucky to have this community culinary hero in our backyard. Get some.

My friends and I ordered Black Bean Nachos and were told it would take 10min. 15 min later I walk up to see them handing Bean Nachos to someone who had ordered after me and my friends. They hadnt written our order down and had to start the order over. I tried to pay and was told by the girl working the window that I was skipping the line and Chef Will said the same. I wasnt skipping the line since no one was there when my order was placed. I cancelled my order and he walked out of the truck and rudely asked my friend if she was cancelling her order too. He hadnt even started on the order. He then said dont order here if youre in a rush, man. We had be waiting for a while at this point. So rude!
