Food Trucks – Wandering Sausage – Alewerks

The Wandering Sausage is a Williamsburg food truck serving cheesesteaks, sausages, and NYC‑style sandwiches at local breweries and pop‑up events across the area. It’s a family‑run operation launched by Chris Reitzel and his son, who began rolling out the truck in early 2026 at popular spots like Alewerks Brewing Company and The Virginia Beer Company.

The menu leans into Philly‑style cheesesteaks, Italian sausages, all‑beef hot dogs, deli sandwiches, wraps, and classic sides like onion rings, fries, and tots. Regulars know them for their rotating specials and hearty portions, and the truck has become a staple at Williamsburg’s brewery circuit — especially during weekly pop‑ups at The Virginia Beer Company, where they serve cheesesteaks, sausages, sandwiches, and more alongside live music and events.

If you’re tracking Williamsburg’s food‑truck scene, The Wandering Sausage is one of the easier ones to find thanks to its steady presence at brewery events and its reputation for big, flavorful cheesesteaks that locals rave about.
