For as long as I can remember, meatballs have been a favorite of mine. Growing up in an Italian household, they were a staple, and my family was always looking for ways to spice them up. When I say “spice them up,” I’m talking about trying different seasonings or cheeses. But this week’s food truck, Have a Ball, takes spicing up meatballs to a whole new level.
Have a Ball is a food truck with a primary focus on meatballs. However, these are no ordinary meatballs. One look at the menu, and it’s clear this truck is all about creativity. I stumbled upon it during a Food Truck Tuesdays event in King of Prussia, where three different trucks gather at a new location one Tuesday of every month. Have a Ball lets you mix and match any three or five meatballs with your order. I decided not to mix and match this time and went all in on five Buffalo Chicken Balls with blue cheese dressing. Buffalo chicken is a favorite of mine, and I was excited to see how it would translate into a meatball. The wait time was very short, and after what felt like just a few seconds, I was ready to dig in.
The Buffalo Chicken Balls came in a set of five juicy meatballs, topped with blue cheese dressing and buffalo sauce. As I cut into the first one, I noticed it was packed with shredded chicken, scallions, cheese, and buffalo sauce, all enclosed in a crispy exterior coating. The chicken practically melted in my mouth—tender and easy to pull apart. I could taste the buffalo sauce with each bite, and it was hot! The crispy coating on the outside added the perfect crunch, with a drizzle of blue cheese and buffalo sauce tying everything together. The combination of these flavors reminded me of buffalo chicken dip but rolled into a meatball. I ate all five, and it was more than enough for a filling lunch. I had been aware of this truck for a while, so I was thrilled to finally give it a try.
Have a Ball is the perfect food truck for anyone who’s looking for a creative take on traditional meatballs. In addition to the Buffalo Chicken Balls, they also offer cheesesteak and pizza varieties, which you can mix and match however you like. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, and this time, I’ll be sure to mix and match. Have a Ball is a roaming food truck, so you can find them at various events throughout Philly and the tri-state area. Be sure to check out their Instagram for regular updates!
