Marty’s Waffles

Marty’s Waffles are to die for! This is coming from a person who doesn’t care for waffles or pretzels. My favorite is the sea salt, caramel with bourbon whipped cream. It is just the perfect combination of all — a hearty meal/​snack which satisfies both the sweet and salty palette!

After my somewhat disappointing trip to Pitabilities at the Springfield Food Truck Competition – and Jules’ much more rewarding trip to Ramen Rickshaw – we were both ready for some dessert. As such, Marty’s Waffles was our next stop in the festival.
Now, we suffered the same problem at Marty’s Waffles as I did at Pitabilities – by the time that we got to the front of the line, the waffle stand was out of a third of their menu! That said, the option we settled on was utterly phenomenal. Simple, really: it was nothing more than a waffle, sea salt, caramel, and a bourbon whipped cream.
Ohhh, man! Let me tell you! The waffle was just a touch overdone for my taste, but for this, it became almost reminiscent of a well-​made soft pretzel, touching a spectacular balance of sweet and salty. The whipped cream lost some of its consistency during the heat, but the cooler sections on the bottom had just the right hit of booze to add a great flavor to the whipped cream.
If Marty’s Waffles is around at any of the other Dayton area food trucks, I’ll certainly give them another go!

Mary’s Waffles is absolutely amazing. The truck was at Taste of Cincinnati this past weekend and I (like a lot of people these days) am obsessed with all things salted caramel and bourbon. They had a salted caramel waffle with bourbon cream and I am serious when I say this was one of the best sweet things I’ve ever eaten. My über picky boyfriend even commented how delicious it was. If you see this food truck at an event, you NEED to make a bee-​line for it!

This for me, and I have tried out the others in the area, is the best waffle in town hands down. Others are good, but every time I see this truck, I buy a half or full dozen without hesitation. I like my waffle from there, the original sugar waffle, plain, no syrup. YUM!!!

One of the best things you will ever put in your mouth, period. Always get one if you have the opportunity.

Love how moist Marty’s Waffles are! The menu is always full of fun topping varieties that are usually homemade (think hickory bourbon whipped cream) and locally sourced (fresh farm-​picked peaches). Mmmmm!

I can’t believe no one has reviewed Marty’s on Unilocal!They’re the best… the only bad part is that they seldom come to where I live/​work. Mostly they hang out around NKy, and when they are in downtown, they’re never at some of the more popular events (City Flea, Washington Park area). I heard about them from a friend who mentioned that Marty was his art teacher at NKY University and I was so intrigued!
I first caught them when they were at the Food Truck Alley during Taste of Cincinnati and I fell in love! So much better than Taste of Belgium! They have a great balance of crunchy and soft and it’s a little cheaper than ToB as well! ($ 4.00 for some milk, butter, sugar, and flour is a bit steep…) I’ve never tried anything except the original waffle, but they do have a fruit and cream option, where the cream is a Bourbon Cream… I’ve been wanting to try it but I can’t imagine that it would be better than the original itself!
They also have the waffle ice cream sandwich which sounds delish!
Follow them on twitter or Facebook; they’re really responsive and active about posting where they’re gonna be. They usually have stable weekly showings like some antique market in KY or Loveland farmer’s market in northern Cincinnati (still pretty far from me)
Once you go Marty’s, you never go back…
