Let’s hit the streets of Washburn County and meet the trucks that are turning meals on wheels into must-try moments.
Cobble Haus Food Wagon
A culinary passport on wheels, Cobble Haus Food Wagon serves up European street food with a modern twist — all made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Think ethnic rice bowls, German hot pretzels, brat balls, Polish kraut slaw, pierogies, Irish nachos, and more. The Italian grinders and French parfaits are also crowd favorites, and don’t miss their signature pickles, sauces, and dips. Hosting an event? Their charcuterie cart and catering packages make entertaining effortless and delicious.
The Laughing Goat
Voted Best Bites in the 2023 Best of WashCo awards, The Laughing Goat lives up to the hype. Their menu features fresh-off-the-grill burgers, wings, and crave-worthy appetizers — with daily specials that change things up and keep fans coming back. Everything is made to order, so you know you’re getting freshness in every bite. Swing by and see why locals keep saying, “See you at The Goat!”
PaPa Saletris Italian Beefs
Serving real-deal Chicago Italian beefs with a recipe that's been used since the 1950s, PaPa Saletris is all about family, flavor, and tradition. Choose a classic or go bold with twists like the Mama T's grilled cheese beef or the stacked Wise Guy. They’ve got kid-friendly meals and unforgettable sides like deep-fried ravioli and butter garlic fries — because no meal should be boring.
Soup’er Sandwich
Comfort food on the go? Say no more. Guy’s Soup’er Sandwich is the stop for soul-warming soups and over-the-top sandwiches that taste just like home — if your dad was a sandwich genius. The star of the show is the namesake Soup’er Sandwich: piled high with meats, veggies, secret oil and sauce, all on a fresh deli bun. Add a rotating soup’er cookie and you’ve got yourself a memory in the making.
Redemption Coffeehouse & Roastery
Not your average coffee stop — Redemption Coffee operates out of a repurposed shipping container and delivers way more than just caffeine. Since May 2021, it’s become a staple of Spooner’s summer scene with a rooftop deck, kid-friendly play space, and work-from-anywhere amenities like Wi-Fi and charging stations. Fridays are for flights — tasting boards with rotating coffee and non-coffee options that change weekly.
