Today, I walked through the street food park to see which food truck was calling my name, and it seemed to be uppercut. When I walked up to the food truck, the server was very pleasant to speak with, and I was very happy that I was interacting with somebody who was really nice. The food truck itself, is really cute to look at, and it's clean, which is one of my favorite things! I ordered the Garlic Parmesan fries and the Double down burger. These french fries were the best that I've ever had in my life. They were so light and crispy like they were air fried, but the garlic and Parmesan taste and the crust on it were so delicious that I can't wait to eat there again. The double down burger was perfect for my size. I was wondering why it was a cheaper price it's because it's a smaller burger. But the burger is so tasty and the brisket is so soft and tender and juicy that I can't wait to eat this burger again and share it with my friends or the kids. I only tried two things on the menu. I wanna try everything now. The broc Lee sounds like my next meal from uppercut. read more

Grilled cheese was really disappointing considering that it's $15. The cheese wasn't even fully melted and it was shredded cheese instead of sliced. The tomato soup was too sweet. Overall, it could have been better especially for the price. Salmon bowl was good. read more

5/5 -- Absolutely Exceptional! Uppercut Food Truck is on an entirely different level. I've eaten at plenty of food trucks, but this one delivers the kind of culinary experience you'd expect from a high-end restaurant--with the fun, energy, and creativity only a food truck can bring. I started with the brisket sliders, and they were unreal. The brisket was perfectly tender, smoky, and full of flavor, paired with a soft toasted bun that soaked up every drop of that incredible sauce. Then came the pork belly sliders, which honestly stopped me in my tracks--crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside, with a glaze that was both sweet and savory in the most addictive way. The crab cakes were another standout. Golden, delicate, and packed with real crab--not filler--made even better by an absolutely incredible aïoli that added just the right punch of richness and brightness. I would come back for these alone. But then the poutine fries landed. Perfectly crisp fries loaded with savory gravy and cheese curds, topped with a fried egg whose yolk mixed into everything like the final boss of comfort food. Off-the-charts good. And finally, the dish I can't stop thinking about: the gourmet grilled cheese with bisque soup. This wasn't just a grilled cheese--it was a masterpiece. Layers of cheeses melted into a gooey, decadent blend with a perfectly crisp exterior, paired with a next-level bisque that was so rich, smooth, and deeply flavorful it could easily be its own signature dish. Every item was thoughtful, balanced, and executed with serious talent. Uppercut Food Truck isn't just serving food--they're crafting experiences. If you see this truck anywhere near you, run, don't walk. Absolute 10/10. read more

I LOVE BRISKET so I was salivating for this bowl. I opted for a full serving with extra eggs and all grilled vegetables as the base. Total was $26.50 but unfortunately, the brisket was not what I'm used to enjoying. These were very lean, on the sweet side and didn't have that smokiness you normally associate with brisket. A friend ordered crab cakes that were a special from the food truck with candied jalapeño. You only get two so it's basically a snack. The service was friendly though. read more

On a boys trip to the city went to check out this food truck spot decided to order a little bit of everything for the crew and holy smokes did this place ever blow us away. The salmon was so juicy and flaked and the sauce was 10/10. The fries were ridiculous (get a fried egg on top you won't regret it), the crab cakes were off the chain good. The brisket sliders were mouth wateringly delicious (we ordered a second round), on a whole other level. Do yourself a favor and stop by this sleeper of a spot in the city of Michelin stars, and stiff com petition because this place is a stand out among stand outs. read more

Martin, the owner, is such a generous and kind person. We took a class field trip to his food truck and he took the time to tell 30 kinder/first grade students about his career, his food, and answer all of their questions! He even gave us a sample of the food (so yummy!) and let the kids look inside the truck. I'll definitely be going back to try more of his delicious food. Thank you so much, Martin! read more

Really disappointing. The spicy fried chicken sliders with a pricey side of fries were saggy and tasteless. I went to ask for extra ketchup and, instead of basic courtesy, Martin questioned whether I had actually purchased anything and pushed me to explain my order, even after I said my partner came and I have the receipt. I felt racially profiled and humiliated over a side of cheap ketchup, in front of other customers. Between the rude treatment and the bad food, I won't return. He really ruined my sparks social experience. Don't recommend. read more

Just wanted to share my recent experience at Upper Cut food truck. I was really looking forward to trying out their mini cut slider and the chipao slider, along with some garlic Parmesan fries. Gotta say, I was a bit let down. The wagyu slider was juicy, but it lacked flavor and sauce. The garlic Parmesan fries weren't as described - not much garlic flavor, too greasy, and barely any Parmesan. AND the fries cost more than the sliders, which seemed a bit off to me. ($7 for half order, about same size tray as in and out burger, but fries were not that heaping full). Now, the chipao slider was a whole different story. It didn't look like the photo at all - the chicken was chunky and not crispy as shown/advertised nor was it spicy. It was juicy but lacked flavor, and I couldn't taste the bourbon glaze as described. All in all, the food was just okay for me. I might give it a pass next time I'm in the area. read more

Believe it or not, this is the most healthy brisket dish I ever had from a food truck. Upper Cut is located in the Sparks Social area near the Mission Bay Hospital area.  Free street parking is not possible... but there are paid lots everywhere in the area. Today I decided to get the Brisket Bowl, Full size.  You get sliced lean brisket with Grilled Veggies and steamed broccoli over a bed of brown rice. The brisket was smokey and tender.  I love the nuttiness of the brown rice,  The rice absorbs the flavors from the veggies,  The bowl is sweet and a bit of spicy from the jalapenos.  Not sure how it can be nutty, smokey, spicy and sweet at the same time.  The only thing I would have liked is a bit of fat, that I expect from brisket. The cost of the dish is a bit high for what you get. read more

Got the poutine, which comes with duck gravy and cheese curds. At $9 for half an order of fries, this is one of the more expensive food trucks at Spark Social. But service was friendly, and I even got upsold on adding bacon and candied jalapenos onto my order. The fries were pretty good, but the gravy was probably the best part of the poutine. It added just the right amount of silky mouthfeel to the fries. The cheese curds weren't squeaky, and the candied jalapenos were a tad too sweet. But the saltiness of the bacon brought it all back in balance. The rest of the food looks interesting enough for a revisit as well. read more

Upper Cut - Half order of poutine with added candied jalapeños and bacon. This will set you back $14. - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

I discovered Upper Cut during my first visit to Spark Social, where I was immediately taken aback by the sheer variety of food trucks they had. What first drew me to them was their french fry offerings, namely their poutine. Their poutine is advertised as crispy coated fries with cheese curds, duck gravy, garnished with green onions. Even before looking around at the other food trucks, my group and I promptly placed an order for the poutine. To say we enjoyed the poutine would be an understatement. The fries were crispy and golden, while the duck gravy was flavorful and to die for. It was so good I would have ordered a second helping for myself, but managed to exert some restraint so I could sample some of their other items. To round out our meal we went with one of each of their signature slides: the Oinkster, Chipao, Double Down, and Mini Cut (the menu on their website has detailed descriptions of each). Each slider had a unique flavor profile and it's difficult to say which was our favorite. My two favorites were the Chipao and Mini Cut. The Chipao features a crispy-fried chicken breast with just a hint of spice, which was even palatable for me (despite my near zero spice tolerance). The Mini cut was your classic cheeseburger with waygu beef patty, providing a juicy succulent bite. The protein in the Oinkster is a sous-vide pork shoulder (unfortunately the candied jalapenos was too much for my palate). Last, but not least, the Double Down featured two proteins (sous-vide brisket and wagyu beef patty), a summer slaw, and a sweet-tangy sauce, providing a unique flavorful bite overall. If you happen to make a trip to Spark Social, I definitely recommend giving Upper cut and their flavor-forward food a try! read more

Definitely not worth the price considering portion sizes. The menu item "mini cut" was overcooked AND over-seasoned. If you are gonna charge me $6.50 for a slider then at least have the audacity to make it edible. read more

Take your business elsewhere! I was at spark social this past weekend and was so close to purchasing from upper cut(literally in line) when I heard the head chef or owner Martin on a call using the derogatory f word for the lgbt community. Immediately disgusted and left the line glad I heard this before giving the owner any of my money! I will not be supporting in the future read more

"Did you say, extra well?" "OH NOOOOO, medium rare." He looked relieved. And, so did I. I could hear the cows crying IF someone ordered extra well done. I came across Upper Cut at SPARK Social (permanent vendor) and the menu is not something I usually gravitate towards: Sliders, Melts, and American Rice Bowls. BUT, Upper Cut turned out to be the best of the three food trucks I tried that night. It's a cut above the rest...items are made-to-order with sous-vide meats (hello, duck confit!) and higher quality ingredients. F O O D: https://bit.ly/3vWlzIz * Mini Cut Wagyu Slider w/ cheese ($4.50 each) ***Requested medium rare The mini wagyu patty was perfectly medium rare, rich, and juicy with a some char, blanketed with melty sharp cheddar. The bun was toasted, buttery, and soft. Seemed like a quality bun, not industrial. A side pickle would have been nice for a bite of acid but it was nonetheless, a solid slider. * Cadillac Grilled Cheese w/ fig, sharp+white cheddar, truffle oil, side of bisque ($14) The grilled cheese sandwich was deliciously buttery and crunchy on the outside (pain de mie) with a goooey, creamy cheesy center. Didn't taste the truffle oil but it was flavorful, not overly salty with the duo of cheeses. There were no figs in the grilled cheese but sugar was sprinkled on the bread as a sub. I usually like salty sweet combos but biting into the sugar crystals was a bit strange. The tomato bisque was spicy and acidic, perfect for balancing the richness of the grilled cheese sandwich (good for sharing). S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Our order was ready in about 8 minutes (Friday night). Overall, solid food truck serving up quality American comfort grub. If disappointment strikes again at SPARK Social, I know where I can turn to. read more

2-hit cccccomboooooo! Left punch, right punch into an Upper Cut!! This was surprisingly good! It is definitely a treat that looks very Insta-friendly. Sure, these look like small jabs of a slider that is a small taste test. The person before me was firing off slider after slider - one of these, two of those, jab here, taste test there. I think that is the beauty and option here to try different tastes from their artisan menu. And when I ate the two sliders I ordered, they hit hard and packed a mean punch! Loaded with their sous-vide pork And unique candied jalapeños, which I have never had before, that was a whammy! Instead of getting their Double, which was very tempting, I instead ducked and rolled over to try the Mini Cut wagyu slider. This indeed looked like a small slider, but boy did I fall for the feint. Instead, it packed an even harder punch and was worth it! This Mini Cut hit me hard with flavor for every bite I took to every last corner of the slider. Heh Pro tip: gotta get their Friday special pricing! read more

We tried the Wagyu burger. It was delicious! More importantly is the slider. The size is perfect allowing me to try more food. The bun is soft and I think they must buttered it really well cause it taste delicious. You can taste the grilled on the burger. Impressive! Crab cakes - It was so delicious, thanks you the sauce, that I forgot to pay attention to how much crab were in it. However, the taste was so rich and the kind of spicy sauce was so awesome that I gobbled down the whole thing without noticing the content. I was so tempted to get another one. Must try! read more

Just as the pandemic was showing signs of subsiding, a premature diagnosis in hindsight, I took a look at SPARK Social and saw the food trucks well separated and customers gradually coming back to dine at the picnic tables. Was it safe? I'll just say it felt safe enough with all the precautions, so I was willing to give it a try. This particular food truck got my immediate interest because I've never seen one focused solely on sous vide cooking. That meant it was cooked really slow in a plastic bag submerged in a water bath at a regulated temperature. Sound pretentious? Yeah, probably but it's pretty healthy and kinda expensive. I ordered the $23 Axis Salmon Bowl, a large salmon fillet served over grilled vegetables and topped with toasted sesame seeds and a jalapeño lime sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/3rOkSg9). I had them leave out the brown rice. I found a table away from the others and was quite pleased with my order. FOOD - 4 stars...sous vide works for me AMBIANCE - 4 stars...it was a new pandemic SPARK SERVICE - 4.5 stars...extremely friendly TOTAL - 4 stars...healthier than deep-fried Oreos RELATED - Exploring Mission Bay?

tried one of each of the sliders. had varying levels of feelings for them. a lot had soggy buns which wasn't ideal. i think the plain wagyu held up the best but it was still lacking in flavor. the garlic parm fries were not as crispy as they could've been. read more

Yummy yummy for my tummy! Obviously blessed with the options at Spark Social and this place does it. Word of caution: the food here is very decadent. chipao: the fried crispness of the chicken is hands down a winner. Mini cut - that wagyu paired with the butter bun will definitely make your mouth water Poutine fries - oh that duck gravy is super rich. My only wish was that the cheese curds were deep fried. Would I do it again? Absolutely. Why not a 5? They forgot my order :( read more

3.5 stars - mostly because the salmon was disappointing. Was excited to find this food truck when it came to Spark Social. Flavorful fare that's refreshing. nice and light option, especially when food from other food trucks is usually heavy and sauce-laden. Duck confit bowl with egg ($9) - I got the half portion for $9 which was still pretty large! Flavorful and tender duck, on a bed of light veggies and rice. Do wish the vegetables had been more seasoned though Salmon taco ($6.50) - unfortunately the salmon was too fishy, so wouldn't recommend this dish read more

Another night at Spark Social, so I decided to stop by Upper Cut after seeing they sous vide their meats, and for anyone that knows me, knows how much I love my sous vide meats. First time here, decided to order a few things: Chipao chicken sandwich, garlic parmesan fries with truffle oil, and the duck confit taco. Chipao: A very solid fried chicken slider. The ratio of chicken/breading was perfect, bun toasted to perfection. Very filling for a single slider and the fixings make it a must-try if you find yourself at Spark Social and you enjoy fried chicken. Duck confit taco: The duck was tender and the mango habanero salsa added a perfect kick to this taco. Overall, very well put together. The only thing I didn't enjoy about it was the tortilla. It's a messy taco, as in it drips a bunch, and I think a crispier vessel would take this taco up a notch. $6.50 per taco, don't think I'll be ordering this on the reg. The garlic parmesan fries: The gentlemen taking my order asked if I wanted truffle oil, and of course I did. The fries themselves are pretty basic, and would've like a tad bit more truffle oil, but overall they are passable to complete the meal. I've been to Spark so many times during COVID, that each time I try a different truck. I'll def be back to try some of their menu items, because those poutines are calling my name! read more

I ordered two sliders and a full order of garlic fries. Unfortunately, everything was cold when I got it, though the food still tasted okay. I asked for an extra ketchup and was met with a rude response: "More money out the door." Nowhere does it say there's an extra charge for sauce, so I'm not sure why he got mad just because I asked for one more. I understand if it's ranch and you're stingy with giving it out--but ketchup? Come on. I don't mind paying extra if that's the policy (which it's not) , but the attitude was completely unnecessary. read more

Yes. It does taste as good as it smells. We tried the Upper cut truck for the first time at Spark SF and we were definitely not disappointed! We tried the oinkster slider with a side of garlic fries. BEST GARLIC FRIES EVER. The perfect amount of crunch and softness with cheese and the perfect garlicky flavor. I was in heaven. The slider was also incredible with the candied jalapeños. But don't worry they're not spicy. I do kind of wish the slider had a spicy mayo or sauce added onto it- I think it would have paired perfectly with the flavor combo. Overall- fantastic! Can't wait to bring others here. read more

I came across Upper Cut at Spark Social! I believe the sliders are on brioche bread which was a bit sweeter than most buns. The Chipao was 3/5 and the Wagyu was a 3/5 too. I was a bit disappointed when having both since they looked and sounded good but it was very average for me. read more

Everything here is sou vide, which means juicy, juicy meat! The chipao fried chicken sandwich was phenomenal, a huge chunk of chicken on a toasty bun for only $6.50! It was pretty filling, especially with a side of coleslaw, which was crisp and only lightly seasoned, which provided a nice, fresh contrast from the fried chicken. For the chicken bowl, the chicken was again delicious, but the vegetables underneath were kind of oily and underwhelming, especially given that the "full" size bowl was like $20 or something. I'd rather just eat three chipaos! I've also previously tried the poutine and the fries here are SO GOOD, tender potato in a crisp, well-seasoned exterior. This is one of the tastiest offerings at Spark, so I will definitely be back! read more

First time at Spark Social. Was super excited for the food but what we got was disappointing. The food was very meh. I think I'll try the other food trucks next time. I would ask for the sauce on the side if possible. Our bowls had way too much sauce for the amount of food inside - learn from our mistake! FOOD: - brisket bowl (half): brown rice at the bottom and a few pieces of brisket meat on top. Good amount of veggies but the sauce was so overwhelming. It reminded me of teriyaki sauce which isn't the best either. Everything was drenched, and it left the rice and veggies at the bottom of the bowl looking like soup. - duck bowl (half): I preferred the duck meat over the brisket. The sauce is different as well, this one seemed to be sriracha based. Same over-saucing problem with this one. read more
