Best Food Trucks in Sharon Area – Visitors Guide
The lockdowns during Coronavirus hurt a lot of restaurants. As a result, food trucks have become popular, and you can find them everywhere.
Note: I photographed all photos for this article in my favorite place – Shusha.

Notes:
- The table lists food trucks with ratings of four and above (however, I did not see any food trucks with ratings below 4.2). Moreover, each place should have at least 20 reviews.
- You can sort and filter the table.
- Opening hours may change over time (especially on season changes).
- I did not mention parking since most food trucks are located in areas with ample free parking places, and I always found parking within a several-hundred meters radius.
What Can You Usually Find in a Food Truck?
Most food trucks are usually located in urban nature – small parks with trees and not in city centers. Thus there is easier access and plenty of parking places.
At that location, they put tables, chairs, and sunshade umbrellas. Small playgrounds for kids are sometimes added (if no playgrounds are nearby).
When it comes to food, beyond coffee and other hot/cold drinks, there are usually sandwiches and pastries. Sometimes there are also pizzas, salads, and fruit bowls.
One crucial benefit of food trucks is their prices. Due to lower operating costs, usually, food trucks are cheaper than restaurants.
Which Food Truck Should I Visit?
My wife loves tasty food and follows all the food bloggers and influencers. Following various recommendations, we visited around ten food trucks last year. The food quality usually ranged from ok to excellent, but it was never poor. Moreover, many places offer unique dishes. Thus, whatever business you choose, you will not go too wrong.
But if you want to maximize your visit, consider the rating and number of reviews. However, I should mention that our experience sometimes differed from what one would expect after seeing the rating.
