The Palate, by Chef Will

I'm transitioning into a more health life style and craved it today. Went o the camp for vegan burgers but the food truck wasn't there. Google healthy food choices and The Palet popped up. The drive was worth it. The food is so good. Trust I am a picky eater but learning to keep an open mind. So this is my first visit but definitely not the last. Thank you Sir. I had the the spinch salad bowl with plantains, avocado Collar greens and salsa and something else I cant think of right now but it's enough to feed my family of three and I bought this just for me. I also got the drink called the Iron machine I think. I'm so sorry I'm butchering this man menu🥴🥴🥴 but it was also good. I know where to go when I want healthy food. It's a must good try him out Runnnn to try him out.

I would love to try the food it looks great but I went and it was closed. It’s an inconvenience for a customer if your hours don’t reflect your availability. It says it’s open but isn’t that’s disappointing

This shouldn’t say restaurant when it’s a food truck 😕 I was listening for live music, there was none. My gps lead me to the opposite side of the art building and I had to walk all the way to the other side. I finally found the colorful truck, but it could definitely use some updates on the signage. NONTHELESS the food was great! Chef Will prepared every meal by himself. There were 2 people in front of me so ended up waiting at least 15-20 minutes so be prepared (although some of his regular patrons behind me said his family sometimes comes to help). I’m glad there was a table and chairs in front of the truck. I got the blackened portobello pepper steak (mushroom) over rice plate, the black bean nachos, and the mango madness. All very well portioned and flavorful! Unbeknownst to me, the food truck sat outside of an art gallery building so I got a 2 for 1 🙂‍↔️ Glad to have the experience coming from out of town.

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.

Vegetarian options: All vegan menu. The freshest ingredients.

Parking: Stationary food truck at the back of Lowe Mill, beneath the water tower.

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.

Vegetarian options: The menu is all vegetarian friendly.

Dietary restrictions: Outside of beans it's great for all dietary issues.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessibile.

I’ve been vegan for 8 years and lived in Huntsville for most of that time, but we had never tried this place due to the lack of indoor seating. We decided to try it finally and it was really not good. The plates were large, but the food all tasted similarly. We ordered the southern plate, nachos and wrap. All 3 plates were filled with the exact same rice and beans. The southern plate came with corn bread which tasted a bit burnt or like it was made in a dirty skillet. It also came with plantain which was pretty good. The collards were undercooked. The quesadilla was burnt and black on one side. The nachos had almost no cheese sauce, mostly just beans and rice. All of the food was pretty bland which was surprising given the reviews. We also got a couple of the drinks which were just ok. It also took a very long time to get the food, about 30-40 mins. By the time we got it the building was closing and we had to sit outside. It’s really unfortunate because the other 2 vegan/veg places in town serve mostly greasy veggie burgers and fries and other very oily salty foods. So I was hoping this would be both healthy and delicious. I really wanted to love it but we won’t be going back.

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.

Vegetarian options: Most things on the menu are vegan as far as I can tell. There are options between real cheese and cashew cheese.

The best spinach dip EVER. No one’s spinach dip compares. I moved away from Huntsville for school, but every trip home I’m always in Chef Will’s line!
