Fried Chicken Food Truck in New Albany, Ohio

New Albany sits on the northeast edge of the Columbus metro, and it has a split personality that suits a food truck perfectly. On one side there is the planned village with its tidy Georgian look, leisure trails, and a steady run of community events. On the other there is one of the largest concentrations of corporate campuses in central Ohio — a business park full of offices where thousands of people need lunch every weekday. A fried chicken truck can work both ends of that.

Peckerheads is a Columbus fried chicken food truck that hand-breads everything and fries to order. New Albany is a regular stop, and the office lunch crowd is a big part of why. Here is how a truck fits here, what we serve, and how to find us.

The office-lunch sweet spot

The business park is about as good as it gets for a lunch truck. You have a dense cluster of workers, limited time, and not nearly enough nearby variety to keep everyone from getting tired of the same few options. A truck parked at the campus solves all of that in one stop — hot food, fast, and a change from the usual rotation.

Our short menu is built for this exact situation. Four items means we serve a long line quickly, and hand-breaded chicken fried to order means the food is crispy when it reaches the window instead of soggy from sitting around. For a 45-minute lunch break, that combination is hard to beat. If your office wants to make it a regular thing, our guide to office lunch catering in Columbus walks through how booking a truck for the team works.

What is on the menu

Four things, each done right:

• Chicken strips — hand-breaded, fried to order, three for 7.50.
• JoJo fries — thick-cut, seasoned wedges that stay crunchy, 4.
• Mac and cheese — creamy and rich, 4.
• Kale slaw — crisp and tangy, 3.50.

Build your own combo at the window, cash or card. Nothing fancy, nothing held under a lamp — just a few things made well and served hot.

Beyond the business park

New Albany is not all offices. The village and its leisure trails draw people out in the evenings and on weekends, and the community event calendar gives a truck plenty of reasons to roll through after the lunch rush is over. Those events are a different crowd than the weekday office stop — families, neighbors, people out enjoying the trails — but they want the same thing: comfort food that is genuinely good.

That is the nice thing about a short, focused menu. It works just as well for a quick weekday plate as it does for a relaxed evening at a community event. Crispy at the window is the whole point either way.

Finding the truck in New Albany

We move every day, so the live map on our homepage is the way to find us. It updates with our next stop in real time. A couple of New Albany notes:

• Weekday lunches usually mean the business park or corporate campuses, where the working crowd is.
• Evenings and weekends are more likely to find us near community events around the village.
• Always check the live pin first, since our location is never fixed.
