Culinary caravan! My wife & I grabbed dinner from The Current last night. The Current is Cahaba Brewing's permanent food truck & is located on their patio. The menu features burgers, wings & seasonal things. We ordered a couple dishes to try. We tried the Buffalo Wings which are citrus brined & made to order then tossed in house hot sauce & served with a side of herb ranch along with a side of House Beer Battered Onion Rings served with a side of comeback sauce. I was really impressed with the wings. They were flavorful & tender, but had crispy skin, which I really like. The house hot sauce was delicious. I didn't find it very hot, but my wife said she thought it packed a good bit of heat. I eat a lot of spicy food, so my heat tolerance probably wouldn't be considered "average". The onion rings were AWESOME. I mean, just look at that batter. These are the good onion rings. We also ordered the seasonal Chicken Salad Sandwich. The chicken salad featured some fruit (I think apples & grapes), nuts & a lot of celery. The bread that it was served on was a bit over-buttered, but overall a good sandwich. We came to Cahaba Brewing to check out Opera Shots. Opera Shots is an annual series of casual pop-up concerts held in unexpected places & designed to break down the stereotypes of opera. Think fun, open-mic style opera! It's a lovely event that I highly recommend checking out. Such a great date night!...& a fantastic dinner. Definitely recommend checking out The Current.

I got food from the current at cahaba food truck. The food is pretty pricey and the taste over all was meh. The sandwich I had was really great! I would give the sandwich an 8/10 but the fries with “garlic seasoning” were not it. I would give them a 2/10. They needed more salt and generally had no flavor at all. For the price I don’t think it was worth it. :(

Food was awful. Would have been better and cheaper to stop at McDonald’s. Bun, meat & cheese - $13 and heartburn. Meat might have been ok, but could only taste dry bun, so who knows. Absolutely disappointing experience. Do not eat here if you can avoid it.Beer and service at Cahaba was at a high level as expected. Not my environment, too big; too many people. More of a matter of what one prefers.Kid-friendliness: Friendly environment for kids and pets - plenty of each.

I am glad I ate before I read the reviews. This place is good! Our food was cooked great. The pretzel and cheese were amazing. The fries were really good . Nothing bad to say about it. It wasn't busy, but I think because it's cold and we went in between lunch and dinner.

Underseasoned & Definitely not a "Smash" Burger, bread was great tho!!

They do a wonderful job here! Always recommend this place!Vegetarian options: Salads and pretzels & fries!! And I hear they are working on more options!Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly menu!

Granted it was during the BAO festival and they were busy but they relied on a QR code system for the crowd of people. System went down and they didn’t even know what orders had been made so we waited for over an hour for cold, undercooked fries. And we didn’t get the sauces we ordered. People who walked up and ordered after us got their order before we did. Everyone was standing around and they had opportunity to inform everyone what was going on and they didn’t. Also probably not a great idea to only have 2 people working on a busy afternoon.
Have been wanting to try this for awhile and finally got around to it. I had the Smash Burger with a side of the Parmesan Garlic Fries since they were unfortunately out of Onion Rings. Wait was a reasonable amount of time after ordering. We grabbed cocktails from the Cahaba Brewing Company to go with it and enjoyed it all at a table near one of the (maybe only) working patio heaters since all the inside tables were taken or reserved. Unfortunately there apparently isn't a designated smoking area of the patio area. The burger was excellent and the fries very good which helped with my disappointment about the onion rings. I will be back to try some of their other rotating seasonal options, just wish it was easier to know what is available before making the trip.

UPDATE: It's been awhile now and they've settled in. A friend of mine had the burger a few weeks ago and highly recommended it. I was still skeptical because of my first experience with it, but went back again and tried the burger. They've figured it out. It's delicious. I'm glad they got this resolved because it's so close to my house that it may be the new burger joint for me.I give 5 stars to the pretzels but 2 stars to everything else. Too expensive for what is offered and not enough portions.

We used this food truck as a caterer for our daughter and new son-in-law”s wedding reception at Cahaba Brewery and loved it! Our guest raved about the food. The Current did an awesome job handling food orders for a large wedding reception along with the customers that were at the brewery itself. We will definitely be back to eat there again!
