The fried chicken is obviously the star here but the meatball sub took me by surprise. The bread was crunchy but super light and the marinara sauce was flavorful. Also recommend the pb&j bread pudding. Loved this place!

When I paid for my chicken sandwich, I was initially shocked by the price because I'm used to paying $11 max for a sandwich, But when I took the first bite, the internal shock melted away. The fantastic qualities of the food here were worth every penny. This place is a perfect projection of the saying "you get what you paid for". The owner knows what his food is worth. If you come here, you're going to pay a little extra, and in exchange, you're going to experience qualities in food that you never felt before, and you're going to feel like a king while eating it. I'm going again to try the other stuff on their menu.

What a great truck. The food is super clean and the owner couldn’t be nicer. It’s a little off the beaten path but it’s super worth it! Cheers!Parking: Lots of parking

Super hidden find only open Friday through Sunday. It takes a bit of work to find this hidden gem! I had the chicken sandwich which had a tender flavorful crispy chicken topped with a moderately spicy slaw and pickles on a nice bun. It is a little messy but super tasty. The fried pickles were spears battered and fried with a mildly spicy aoli. I will be back to try other options soon!

The owner is so nice and truly bends over backwards for customers. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the spicy honey. The sandwich was delicious! I used the honey as a marinade for chicken that I grilled. Bonus!

Best meatball sandwich in town!!! Great perfectly fried chicken for the Sando! Fantastic operation! Making a run on the fried chicken scene of Napa valley! Find them at the distillery! Great for a quick snack or a sit down meal!!

I've had the whole menu at Joelle's, and every item is delicious! The fried chicken sando lives up to the hype, but the meatball parm sub and chilaquiles sando (double carb FTW--great job, Perla) are also super craveable. Soups and salads change with the seasons ensuring a delicious outcome with the best ingredients. Ian, the owner, is friendly and welcoming! If you are able to pick up your order, just give them a call in advance to place your order to save you time and it helps them save on online platform fees. For folks coming up from outside Napa, the truck is conveniently parked outside the Hollywood Room now so you can take advantage of the seating there and also enjoy a drink with your tasty food from Joella's. Also ask them about their secret menu options: so far I've tried the chili cheese fries and the chicken parm. Super good!

If you are thinking about visiting Joella's, stop thinking and just go. Ian and his team (Perla!) have cracked the code when it comes to the crispy chicken sandwich. Wonderful flavors, fresh quality ingredients and nice big portions. The chicken was moist, perfectly seasoned and breaded to crispy perfection. The pickles and the bun are even noteworthy. Now, we must also mention the killer beef/pork chili. First rate, balanced flavor profile with a nice kicky finish. Ritz crackers and sour cream on the side! Still hungry? There's more...the PBJ bread pudding with a ribbon of banana custard as the counterpoint to the sweetness. So, I'm not sure why you are still reading this review when you should be heading over to Joella's write this very minute. Get going and get some good eats!

Our family tried almost one of everything and it was delicious! We especially liked the fried pickles, chicken bites and sandwich. Meatball sandwich was also really good (for sure fork and knife!) as well as the spin on the chilaquiles, sandwich style. Will be back again!
