Worst food truck experience ever. Order was wrong, staff seemed confused, wedges weren't burnt to a crisp. I figured I'd give this a try since I'm all Keto and such. Let's start with the fact that the crew seemed confused when I walked up, that should have been a sign. The guy working the window had a mystery order that no one claimed of pulled pork, mashed cauli and wedges. I ordered the pulled pork, mash and slaw. I took my order and made my way across the street to work. I knew I should have opened it up before I left but I didn't. I get to the office and find pork, mash and wedges. Okay, slightly irritated because I didn't get my slaw and I figure they gave me the "Mystery order" to get rid of it. Then I look at the wedges. They are virtually uneatable, literally burnt black. Never again Brooklyn Sandwich, never again. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - No Slaw and Burnt Black Wedges. Unacceptable. - Food Trucks Near Me

Ok, so not bad, but room for improvement. I was surprised that I liked the Ruben more than the Brisket. The Ruben was flavorful with the slaw and aioli, but there unfortunately wasn't much meat. The Brisket, meanwhile, was half inedible because it was so fatty. Of course I expect fat on my sandwich meats, but this was too much. The knish was delicious, as was the sour pickle. The slaw was better on the sandwich than by itself on the side, and again, there wasn't much of it. So the food was good, but when I go to a food truck for lunch, instead of bringing my own, I want to be full afterwards, and unfortunately I was still hungry since their portions were so small. read more

Took a gamble and ordered the matzo ball soup from the Brooklyn Sandwich Company food truck. Paid $6, which is ridiculous, but whatever. Didn't realize until I walked back to my office that there was not a single matzo ball in the container. How do you miss that when you're serving that? The broth was highly mediocre by the way. read more

See my pic before you order the wedges!!!! Next time just say you're out of the wedges instead of offering up this crap. I was excited for some rosemary doused potatoes. Baked no less. Instead I got burnt, dry, hard wedges. Aioli wasn't good enough to make up for this That being said, I did enjoy the curried chicken wrap. It was lightly curried and meaty. It would be nice with some chutney but I was satisfied. Still sorry I paid $3 for the wedges and soda. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - Chicken curry wrap with potato wedges - Food Trucks Near Me

After having a Brooklyn trip a couple weeks ago, I had a hankerin' for a pastrami sandwich. So I got the pastrami sandwich combo here. They were out of the mashed califlower, and the Dr. Browns (pricier) soda that comes with the combo. Those can be forgiven. What could not be forgiven, was the weak, bland ass pastrami sandwich I got. This pastrami sandwiches sold here is a disgrace to Brooklyn delis. There is zero effort put into this sandwich, and the pastrami meat quality is nowhere near a NY deli place. It's the kind of pastrami you get at a cheap grocery store for the cheapest cut of pastrami. For a $15 combo that comes with cheap Coke instead of Dr. Browns, I was expecting fresh cut pastrami beef, not this low-grade grocery store crap. The Rye bread was also just ones you buy that is discounted b/c the grocery store has an oversupply of them. It was literally just cheap pastrami meat that doesn't resemble anything close to the pastrami beef you get in NY, cheap rye bread, and mustard smeared on, for $15. A Korean deli inside office complexes that are built for convenience and cheapness rather than taste, make a much better pastrami sandwich for $5 rather than this $15 atrocity. The only reason why I gave it 2 stars is because the knish side was pretty good, the croissant bread was flakey and potato inside was tasty, but it wasn't enough to redeem the very disappointing cheap grocery store made pastrami sandwich. I guess I'll never get a pastrami sandwich in DC again and wait until I can go to Katz. read more

I've seen this food truck around Chinatown and Metro Center and decided to give it a try. As a vegetarian, I was disappointed there weren't any veggie sandwiches and I wasn't in the mood for vegetarian chili, so I decided to try the truffle cauliflower mash. It's like mashed potato but made of cauliflower with truffle oil. It was quite rich and delicious. After taking a four of five bites, I was getting full and had enough. I'm not sure if I would get it again, but it was fun to try and worth the $4. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - Truffle cauliflower mash, delicious! - Food Trucks Near Me

I thought it was pretty good. I ordered a brisket platter, which came with two sides. All parts of the meal I enjoyed. The meat and slaw were good. The mash was a little watery before mixing it, but I think it was cauliflower, so it's hard for that not to happen. I went close to 2pm and things didn't taste over cooked or anything. I think all these food trucks are a little over priced, although perhaps with all the logistics, labor, etc it adds up. I enjoyed it, although I'm not in a rush to go again. read more

I cannot believe I just spent $10 on this chicken salad. Rubbery chicken breast with a dry rub, romaine lettuce, tomato, red onion, and a tablespoon of mediocre dressing. That's it. I opened the box and was extremely disappointed. Got a knish as well, which was actually quite good. I really hope their sandwich are actually worth the money. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me

RIP OFF! For $13.20 across the street in Friendship Heights you can get a gourmet sandwich, tomato+cotija soup, and a fountain soda from--from a celebrity chef's spot no less. I say this because the sandwich was definitely not gourmet, it was only accompanied by a pickle, and usually celebrity chefs charge more than the standard fare. Instead what I got was some brisket that seemed to come from a frozen Costco tray, served at room temperature. About $3 worth of value there, feels like I dropped a $10bill out of my pocket walking back from the food truck. Good luck. read more

I spotted their truck while on a morning break! I was excited to learn via Twitter that they would be serving lunch today outside of my building! . My colleague and I have found all Kosher restaurants within walking distance from the PSB. The Brooklyn Sandwich Company was a great find on a hot, humid day! I got the Reuben and a Dr. Brown's black cherry soda. Both were most excellent! Best lunch I've had all week! Please come back soon! I would like to try all items on the menu. Not only was the food great, the customer service was awesome! This matters a lot to me as lunch time can be hectic in DC. That doesn't mean we should stop being polite and kind to each other! Thank you for an amazing lunch. I wish you all the best in your endeavors! You have a fan in me! read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me

I think I've only left 1 or 2 reviews on Yelp. I'm not really interested in reviewing food because I know most people review places just to bash them. After being up at L'Enfant plaza several times and seeing a line outside this truck I decided to give it a try today and decided to leave a review from my experience. The staff that served me today was very friendly so I'm not knocking them at all. The truck is well decorated and clean looking. Doesn't look in the least like one of the various trucks roaming DC that have nice pictures and serve you a frozen, cafeteria burger from Walmart or chicken strips out of a giant frozen bag. I definitely had the sense that this food was fresh and they took pride in it. I ordered the Reuben combo which came with a side and a drink. The total came to $16.50 which I was pretty shocked at since all the other truck's combos I've been to are $10 for an entree, side, and a drink. I paid and figured I was going to get one of those massively stuffed deli sandwiches that you take half the sandwich home and it would be overflowing with potato wedges (which is the side I ordered). I was told that they were out of rye bread and the chipotle aioli which I was fine with because I didn't show up till 1 pm so I knew most of the lunch rush had already come through. What I received when I sat down was one of the smallest deli sandwiches I'd ever purchased and 8 to 9 potato wedges. The sandwich itself was nothing to write home about and was quite bland. I expected a much more flavorful sandwich for the price I paid. The wedges were well seasoned and the gentleman that served me was very right, the truffle mayo I ordered in place of the chipotle aioli went very well with them. The reason for the 2 star review was that the price was extremely steep for the amount of food I received and the sandwich was nothing special. I apologize for the poor review because I know these things affect business but when my wife metros from GW for lunch on a Friday, we visit 2 different trucks, she ends up with the school cafeteria burger from another truck, and I pay $16.50 for a lackluster sandwich it puts a damper on the whole experience of meeting up for a Friday lunch at a food truck stop. Edit: as I'm now looking at the photos that other people posted, the reason for my smaller sandwich might be that the rye bread that it's supposed to come with is larger than the pumpernickel I replaced it with. This might have been the case but if you're out of 2 things that a customer asks for then I feel you shouldn't be charging full price. read more

amazing food and very good service. The people taking your order are very nice and the food comes out fast - perfect for a lunch break. I had the brisket and potato Knish. both were delicious, the brisket was flavorful and was served on an amazing pretzel bun with slaw. The Knish was delicious as well. I would highly suggest trying this place out ASAP, cant wait to go back. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - Brisket on pretzel bread - with side knish and pickle. - Food Trucks Near Me

It was a really hot day in DC, and I was trying out the food truck scene. Generally I go over the longest lines are because that's usually the best food. Not so much in this case. I ordered the Reuben with a side of a aioli potatoes. Now realizing I was in DC and maybe the line was long because it was the only kosher food truck out there, but the bread is terrible. I could've gone to the grocery store and gotten better Ryebread. Also guys, a Ruben means grilled or toasted in butter also they put pastrami on the Ruben instead of corn beef which is really a Rachel. So what I got was some pastrami on untoasted bread with a little coleslaw on top. Since it was kosher I was not expecting cheese of course. So I already told you the bread is terrible, let's talk about the rest of the sandwich. The pastrami had a nice color to it and with sliced a little thinner than I would've liked. It did not seem to have a normal coriander type rub to it and was a little salty. My guess is they did not rinse the meat well enough before they smoked it. The chipotle cold slaw was the best thing I got, and the potatoes were very good too. The combo also came with a drink and a half sour pickle that wasn't bad. If I was ever to come back I would probably try the brisket plate and not bother with this terrible bread. Sieriously guys, you can't call yourself a New York deli food truck with this level of bread. read more

Not too impressed for over $13 spent on a "hot" brisket sandwich that was more bread than anything, was cold and he bun wasn't even toasted. I chose to pay the $13+ because I know brisket is not cheap, but that was not even $5 worth of meat on it. At least it taste ok, but not something I would order again or give them my business. Disappointed for sure. :( read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - "Hot" brisket sandwich - its cold and where's the brisket???!! - Food Trucks Near Me

Literally just got done eating from here. I got the brisket sandwich with potato wedges. You can tell everything was old. Wedges were lukewarm and super dry. The meat was dry and not hot. It was barely saved by whatever liquid it was sitting in. The only decent thing was the chipotle sauce. Never...again. Nothing seems to be made on site read more

Wonderful Reuben, excellent slaw, and a tasty knish with a wonderful flaky crust. A little pricey for lunch but it's worth the indulgence. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - Reuben, an excellent pickle, and delish knish. - Food Trucks Near Me

I hate to write a bad review of a kosher place, but -- since they have not answered calls or emails I figure I should let others know about my experience. On two occasions I did not receive things I had ordered and paid for. When I tried contacting them, they did not get back to me. read more

I made the mistake of getting the Matzo Ball soup today. It was completely tasteless and absolutely disgusting. I had three colleagues try it just to make sure I wasn't mistaken. And sure enough, everybody agreed that it tasted like little more than "water with one dirty dish in it." The marzo ball also suffered from this horrible broth. What a huge waste of $6! read more

The owner of this truck yelled at me over the phone "f___ you I hope you burn in hell" and then hung up. He is unbelievably rude and incompetent. Had two orders for school groups totaling 90 sandwiches and soups on two different days. The first day, all kinds of things were wrong with the order. Soups that were ordered were not delivered. Wraps became sandwiches and so on. The second day, he totally messed up the delivery, and then grew angry at me over the phone for demanding he fix the situation. This is when he told me to burn in hell. We had 45 kids waiting for food for an hour, cutting their time at the Smithsonian down to just one hour. These kids are from the west coast and will never get that time back. And this joker will never see our business again. If you are a tour group, stay far away! Also, the pastrami was nothing special. Dry as you can imagine with stale rye bread. Some of the kids didn't even eat the food it was so bad. read more

I had the smoked brisket on pretzel bun with potato wedges. This sandwich was one of the best I have ever had. Slightly smaller than I would've liked, but I almost forgot about that in light of the flavor. Really fantastic! The potato wedges were a bit dry, although it I have never found potatoes to be a good food truck food. Fast service, too. 1.5 minutes, order to eating. read more

It was the hottest day of the year so far, but that didn't stop me from getting the Reuben. It was delicious! I got the sandwich with a side knish and a pickle. The pickles are fantastic. Sadly some huge group almost cleaned them out of food before I got there, and was lucky to get a sandwich. The slaw was a funky take on the traditional variety. Very good, light. Was that apple cider vinegar in there? They don't use peanuts or other nuts. read more

I was fooled by the high ratings on google reviews. The brisket sandwich was "meh". For $13, I expected more than cold brisket with a thin layer of slaw on pretzel bread. The pretzel bread would have been a nice touch if they had bothered to lightly toast it. Definitely not worth the price. read more

This truck is a TREASURE! I have gone many time since it first hit the road and I just have loved everything I have ever gotten. I love the brisket sandwhich, the meat is just right and so flavorful! I'm a fan of the potato wedges especially with the truffle mayo. The knish is also amazing and it goes very well with all the different aiolis. My personal favorite is the broccoli slaw, the combination of the raisins and the spicy kick makes it a perfect compliment to every menu option. This truck has never disappointed and it is also very good at dealing with allergies if you contact them with your concerns in advance. To have great kosher food on the streets of Washington, DC is just such a thrill and the whole team on the truck is fast and very nice. read more

I tried the first sandwich on the menu as a litmus test (since I've never been here before). It was tasty, but value-wise, I felt like I got robbed. I get food trucks are more expensive, and the rent to hold the spot can add to the price. I've also been to other food trucks in city-like areas where holding the spot can charge high rent and got twice as much food (briskets and all). The sandwich was as big as a big mac, but I ended up paying over $14. It makes five guys look generous. Even if I bought the entree from their non-food truck menu, I still think its expensive. I gave them a chance, but I think the money I spent here would've been better spent sitting in a bar nearby. Enjoy your one time donation. read more

After living in DC for a few years I forgot how great a good deli could be. It was as if after being deprived of a nice pastrami sandwich that the city trained me not to desire it anymore. With this new food truck my deli tastes and desires have been reawakened. The pastrami is excellent and the prices are more than fair. I've sadly only been once, but cannot wait to return to my new favorite truck in DC. read more

Really wanted to like this food truck but $6 for one dense matzo ball with a thin Lipton soup broth is less than ideal. Knish was fine but nothing to write home about. read more

Oh no! I wanted to like this truck! Maybe I ordered the wrong thing?? I ordered the Brisket Platter and picked the potato wedges and broccoli slaw for the my two sides. The brisket was way too fatty.. I couldn't chew through most of it. Slaw was just ok and the wedges were really really bad. The texture was like the fries were reheated in a microwave. I did like the dipping sauce it came with though... Aw I'm sad..my lunch sucked and I thought this was going to be my new favorite truck. Minus the food the guys are friendly and the service was quick! read more

I bought the brisket sandwich and was left wanting more. It was tasty but not enough meat was given. The sandwich was drenched which caused the bun to get soggy within 5 minutes of walking from the food truck to my office. read more

Today was my first visit to this truck. It was less than perfect, but warrants a future visit. I note that it was raining on today's visit, but that doesn't really excuse the problems I encountered. There was no menu on display. Had I not checked them out on a website before heading down to the street, I never would have stopped. The young man working the register was quick to tell me they didn't have the broccoli slaw for the brisket sandwich I ordered. He made no suggestions for an alternative and there was no reduction in the price. He also seemed much more interested in his text conversation than in serving customers. I received my sandwich very quickly and it was delicious, even without the slaw. I look forward to giving them another chance to provide a more completely satisfying experience in the future. read more

Went for the first time and was not disappointed! Good food at reasonable prices-- bang for your buck!

I've been looking for a food truck with food that reminds me of home ever since coming to DC, there are plenty of good ones but this one hit home. Beside the obvious Jewish connection, the food is incredible!! I tried the Reuben sandwich and it melted in my mouth, I can finally have matzah ball soup on demand that's just the way my grandma makes it, and the broccoli slaw to die for. So glad a friend recommended this truck and now I'm recommending it to everyone I know!! read more

I got the $12 brisket sandwich. Beneath the bland sugar sludge they call BBQ sauce it seemed like the meat was tender and flavorful. The slaw and pretzel bun too, had hints of being great. Unfortunately, there was so so so much BBQ sauce that tasted like pure sugar, no real smoke or spice, that it ruined everything else. Extremely disappointing, because with a decent sauce and a reasonable amount this would have been great. read more

First trip to the Brooklyn Sandwich Company Kosher truck today. Easy to find - especially if you follow them on Twitter: @bklynsandwichco.

I saw several repeat customers lining up with us today as well. I'm looking forward to the next drive-by. read more

Brooklyn Sandwich - a truck parked on the side of the road - Food Trucks Near Me

Stopped by this truck yesterday for the first time. I was excited to try both the turkey and the pastrami cold sandwiches. Enjoyed both, although I liked the turkey sandwich a touch more, perhaps because of the LTO. I would have liked a choice of bread, although I understand that it may be difficult to find varieties of kosher bread. It's rare for me to find halal deli sandwiches, but this truck is a welcome substitute and I will definitely return! read more

After getting a glaring review from a co-worker, I was excited to try. Got the "Ruben" combo, with potato wedges. The Ruben was served on Cold White Bread (it is advertised as Rye) which immediately gets soggy with the warm meat. The meat itself was flavorful. As for the potato wedges, they had good flavor, but were limp wedges of potato, which were pre-cooked and kept "warm" in the truck. I was very excited for the prospects of a good sandwich truck near the office, but for $14 dollars for the combo - there are so many better options for food trucks in the area and will not return. read more
