    Kingpin with GF bread
    Katie K.

    We stopped by the food truck while it was downtown in Campus Martius and really enjoyed it! I got the Kingpin sandwich and was happy to see that gluten-free bread was an option. The theming was cute, and we probably waited 10 minutes in (a long) line, and then 10 minutes for our food. Overall, a nice stop for lunch while at work!

    Thor Sandwich & Woki Fries
    Jen A.

    I found this place on accident while searching for a "lunch spot near me" today. I am so glad I did!! I got the Thor sandwich and the Woki fries. Both were probably the best I've ever had. I'm not really a fry person so I'm not sure what possessed me to even get them. However, I'm so glad I did. They are almost Arby's fries (flavor wise) meets waffle fries-making them my new favorite. Pretty neatly decorated inside too. Staff was friendly and even refunded me the $2 off Thursday Thor sandwich when I had no idea. I will for sure be back to try other sandwiches (or maybe I'll stick with the Thor again-who knows!)

    I'm not much of a sandwich girl, but they brought their food truck to Nordstrom so I tried it. They said the Thor was the most popular so I tried that with provolone instead of cheddar. It was excellent! The staff was also super friendly! Here is a pic after I ate 1/2.

    While planning our accounting firm's Summer Leadership Program, I wanted to find a lunch option that would satisfy a variety of dietary needs -- from picky eaters to those with food allergies or vegan/vegetarian preferences. Hero or Villain exceeded all expectations. The food was outstanding, and the attention to detail was impressive. Guests with dietary restrictions were especially appreciative of the thoughtful accommodations, including non-dairy cheese, gluten-free bread, and more. Rich and Jillian made the entire process seamless, and their customer service was top-tier from start to finish. They flawlessly delivered over 60 sandwiches, and both students and staff left raving about their meals. Thank you, Hero or Villain, for helping make our event a success!

    I'm not gonna lie, I was lured in by the sign that said "Food Network's Top 25 food trucks." The ratings online were good to so I gave it a try. I ordered the kingpin. It really was super yummy! The bread was perfectly toasted. It was so savory and tasty. I split it with my mom, so later when I was a bit hungry again after walking around Eastern market, I had to go back a second time and get the pesto, turkey, avocado one (forgot the name). It was just as tasty and yummy. Also the workers are nice and the food truck itself is so cute. So many stickers and super hero figurines and knick knacks.

    I'm a comic book nerd so I was drawn to this truck for obvious reasons. Cute nostalgic setup here with superhero figurines our front. I indulged on the Kingpin which is a chicken sandwich and I added bacon. It was quite tasty. The combo comes with waffle fries. Overall it was filling, presented nicely and not too much of a wait time. What lost a star for me was when I'm seeing fries come out with this amazing looking aoli on them. I wasn't presented that upgrade to my fries or I sure as heck would have paid the cost to make that happen!! I'd patronize again as the staff was super friendly and food size was worth the cost.

    Waffle fries were super delicious. Hot, seasoned well, and great space to eat in.

    Yo! Hero or villain? New landmark "HQ" location located inside the same building as Ferndale's treat dreams. Honestly the whole vibe is dope and they have a great selection of sandwiches. I came for meillie(another new location) but honestly there's some great synergy of them being next to each other as you can easily get a snack (or side of fries) right next door. Service was great, friendly greetings and warm smiles all around.

    I have seen this food truck several times, but I had never had the chance to actually order any of the food. I finally had the opportunity to try it. I must admit, I was a bit of a skeptic. My child got the Captain America without tomato, which is a grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, and I got the loaded waffle fries, whose name I have forgotten. It was waffle fries with feta cheese, pickled vegetables, and sriracha mayo. It was absolutely delicious. I must say I was surprised. Those were some memorable fries! I would order them over and over again, so delicious. I brought the leftovers home, and my other child loved them so much, she asked me when I had time to go to one of our favorite restaurants during work hours. They tasted so fresh, she thought they were from a popular place we often frequent. Plus, that child would have never eaten that combination in the past with the pickled vegetables and spicy sauce mixed into food, but that way they prepared this dish was so appealing, she finished it. I did not get a chance to try to grilled cheese sandwich, but my kid reported that it was very good, and reminded her of school lunch. This is not at all an insult, she loves school lunch and misses it very much! The truck brought some much needed nostalgia to a kid who misses school. It seems that the truck makes food to order which is why there was quite a line and a bit of a wait once the food was ordered, but that is not a bad thing unless you had a limited lunch hour. We were on a time crunch, but luckily I had more time to wait and retrieve the food so my child could get back to her responsibilities. I saw some flyers about this truck coming around my neighborhood as well for dinner. The wait would be less worrisome for a dinner time compared to the lunch time rush.

    Bowcaster Fries

    Heading up towards Troy from Dearborn I knew I had to take a slight detour. Hot giardiniera, tons of feta, and sriracha mayo come together in the form of the Bowcaster Fries. This Wookiee sized side cannot be missed. It's the perfect combo of spice and salty goodness and far different from any other fry toppings I've ever had. It's different but different is darn good.

    I found this truck at the mo pop music fest in Detroit, there were so many food trucks to choose from I won't lie I walked around for a bit just kind of looking at different options. I'll admit the outside of the truck with the comic characters drew me in. Happy that I chose this one! The service was super quick! With that amount of people I was impressed that they kept it moving so quick and didn't make it feel like you were a bother. Say what you will about sandwich's but I think they are the best thing, and especially with an all day event such as a music fest. I had the delicious king pin sandwich! I loved the chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes and pesto aloli on sourdough it was so enjoyable and the perfect combination of everything on a sandwich, just what I needed to have a full day of fun at the mo pop festival, I'd certainly have them again given the chance.

    Captain Planet
    Julia L.

    Hero or Villain is my favorite food truck ever. I love them so much I periodically check their schedule and chase them around. A friend posted on social media a food truck schedule for her neighborhood and when I spotted my fav listed, I put the date in my phone so I wouldn't miss out. I always get the Captain Planet because it is flavorful AF and full of veggie goodness. I have tried to replicate it at home because it's just that good. My husband ordered Thor tonight and raves about the bread. Both sandwiches are loaded and delicious. And do not pass up those waffle fries! Love you guys. Thank you for brightening up our Tuesday evening.

    Portabella sandwich and fries
    Melencia J.

    That portabella sandwich was soooooooo good. The dressing and onions on the toasted bun... Finger licking good. Also had the waffle fries. Omg. A perfect choice. I will search the earth for a better portabella sandwich but I doubt I'll find it. I may move to Detroit to eat this sandwich again...nah...But really it was the best thing I've eaten in Detroit on my brief trip so far.

    Yummm. You had me at sour dough. Came here on my lunch break when they were parked in Cadillac Square. The line will intimidate you but trust me it's worth it. I came around noon, waited in line about 5 minutes and waited for my food around 15 minutes. That's about the average time you will wait at any of the trucks on a busy lunch hour. I had the Green Ranger. A blend of turkey, avacado, cheddar, romaine, tomato and pesto aoli on perfectly grilled sourdough bread. The sandwiches are huge, I could hardly eat all mine. I'm pretty sure the Green Ranger is popular because as I was standing there they removed the sign for it. This is one of the best food trucks with friendly service and amazing food.

It has perfect density, is well-seasoned, and is easily 15% better than a Five Guys patty. The Toppings: The lack of customization is frustrating. No extra options or toppings are allowed. It comes with American cheese, shredded iceberg lettuce (not a fan), and way too much sauce. The sauce itself is okay, but the burger was drowning in it. The Fries: Good firmness, they definitely hold their shape better than Five Guys but Five Guys' Cajun fries still win on flavor. The Value: I paid about $20 for a burger, fries, and a tip. It feels expensive, but with Five Guys at $18 and a McDonald's Big Arch meal at $14 these days, the price is fairly standard for the current market.

Ordered a single, a double, two drinks and fries. Totally was 34$. Very expensive I feel. Food was good though. I did enjoy the burger. The single was enough. They don't have any toppings for the burger besides cheese, lettuce and their ghost sauce (basically mayo, pickles and maybe tomatoes). They do have packets of ketchup and mustard if you ask. Fries were fresh and you can tell. This was my favorite thing. They were actually very good. I didn't care for the fancy sauce too much though. But the size of the fries are shareable I feel. Overall I would come here again and try other food. But, with the lack of toppings for the price, it would steer me away.

They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!
