Extremely cool staff very helpful with my diet and absolutely amazing food. Takes a lot to impress me Color me impressed Owner is super cool people try this place brick and mortar coming soon read more

Upper Cut is an interesting truck in that all their food is served sous vide. I honestly can't really tell the difference with the cooking styles, but I'll take their word for it. I tried them out a while back at Off The Grid Fort Mason. And the food was pretty good. I had the Duck Confit Taco and Oinkster Slider (http://bit.ly/2kvIGDC). Both had great flavor but if I had to choose my favorite between the two it was definitely the Oinkster. That pork was so tender! I also like how they have the option to turn each into a rice bowl which I hope to try with their Duck Confit next time. Although I only had a small sampling of their menu, I like Upper Cut's concept and their food surprised me. I hope I get another chance to try them again in the near future. read more

First time trying this place out at Spark Social and was not disappointed. I ordered the (half) chicken bowl. It was SO GOOD! Full of flavor and the half bowl was a great portion for lunch. The chicken was really flavorful and combined really well with the brown rice and veggies. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and garlic Parmesan fries. Both were delicious! If that was my meal, i would've been full. As the other reviews mentioned, the sandwich is on the smaller side, so my husband would've been better off if he had ordered two. I would like to come back and order their melt sandwich, it seemed like a popular dish. read more

Best truck at Spark Social. I love the sliders, fries , slaw , but just found the best yet: grilled cheese with jalapeños...glorious read more

Upper Cut - Grilled cheese with jalapeños and tomato soup...flippin awesome!! - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

Let me just get right to it: I expect I will never have a better grilled cheese in my life than the "Cadillac grilled cheese" that Upper Cut makes. it's some secret blend of cheeses, plus some fruity sauce thing plus a perfect little bit of rich tomato soup and, well, I just don't even bother making grilled cheese for myself anymore. I feel like a failure. They have a variety of other food options which I think rotates... my memory fails me but I think at least one or two were really good... you can tell none left the impression of the grilled cheese though. read more

The Chipao sous-vide chicken sandwich is the best thing at Spark Social. It's so tender, it actually just melts in your mouth

Dude that works there always seems like he's having a bad day. We have ordered food from here multiple times and he always gives us a hard time when we ask for ketchup. Then he will just shoot ketchup all over your fries spilling on the side of the fries container. Also when we asked him about sizing of the plates, he was really rude and just held the plates in our face when we were asking about the size. I get it people have bad days but this guy is consistently rude read more

Best experience at a Food Truck I ever had.... There are other food trucks with great food, but I find that I can always find something similiar somewhere else. I'm sure the said can be said about UPPER CUT BUT!!!!.....the quality of the food was great and delicious and it was served fast!!! I had 1) honestly some of the best garlic fries ever...and they were not greasy! 2) the chipao-a spicy sous vide chicken breast sandwhich 3) a mini cut- wagyu burger slider Everything was perfect! read more

OMG!! I literally found the best sandwich ever made! I am gonna eat this every day until I burn out ........ Marty made me a special Philly Style Brisket Sandwich on a local neighborhood focaccia with candied jalapeños and perfect French Fried with a spicy catsup! This truck is unforgettable and PURE MAGIC!!! read more

ALLERGEN WARNING: This truck knowingly mislabels almost all of their grill items as not containing dairy. Their sign explicitly calls out only their Chicken Bowl as containing dairy, however they use butter on their grill to cook EVERYTHING. And if you can't trust them when it comes to allergens, is it worth trusting them about the rest of their ingredients? read more

TL;DR: Get the Chipao, Di Vinci, and a large order of fries! On Saturday morning, I ran 12 miles on an empty stomach, took a quick shower, and went to Barebottle Brewery for a friend's birthday party. I'm SO hungry. The Upper Cut truck was outside, and I saw people ordering food. The security guard even had food and it looked really good. I went inside the brewery and had a beer. Now my stomach was really growling - so I went out to get a first round of food and settled on: + Full order of Garlic Parm Fries ($8): These fries are AMAZING! They are the right thickness, super super crispy. Hands down one of the best fries I've had in a while + Full order of the Axis (Salmon) Rice Bowl ($17): This rice bowl seems like an anomaly on the menu, but maybe it's for pescatarians in a SEA of meat eaters. heh. The flavour is good, the sauce is good, you get a good amount of salmon - probably close to $17 in value. (However, I didn't realize how much I got until I wrote it out). Unless the margins are great - this might be the dish that doesn't make sense to keep from a business perspective. +Cadillac Grilled Cheese ($13): This grilled cheese should probably be the standard of grilled cheeses. It comes with a homemade tomato biqsue. I feel like this grilled cheese and tomato bisque, while not the best I've ever had, met all expectations of what a decent or good one should be. Now, I'm munching away on this food, and some guy comes by and asks how the food is. I told him the fries are really really good, the salmon rice bowl is good, and the grilled cheese and tomato soup was okay. But those fries! He comes closer, and introduces himself as Marty, the owner of the truck! We made conversation and I told him the options I thought about trying (the duck confit), but that I hesitated because it's tough to pull off. Round 2: + Da Vinci (Duck Taco): Wow! Just wow. Really simple taco, but everything pairs so well together. Fatty, juicy duck, with a hint of sweet and spicy salsa, with some dry bitter arugula, and pickled red onion (to cut the fat from the duck). + CHIPAO (chicken slider): I'm hesitant to get chicken sliders because of how dry it usually comes out. I took a bite, and it was super juicy. Spices just right with a hint of a kick. Excellent! Note that the meat might be thigh - not breast. Marty hung out a bit to chat with me to discuss food prep styles (dry brine vs wet brine), how he preps his fries (including a quick blanch), and various marinades, taste pairings. He's very passionate about his food and he does a GREAT job in executing. Props to Marty for putting the work into making quality food at the right price points. read more

The food is great here! Literally ordered the whole menu and it was my first time trying. It was all pretty solid! My favorites were the Axis, Da Vinci and Chipao. Barebottle is also just next door. I would definitely recommend this spot to friends. Can't wait to head back! read more

Upper Cut - Bear's Beard, Da Vinci, Oinkster, Chipao, Axis - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

We recently found out about Upper Cut after hearing about Spark Social in SF. Their grilled cheese originally caught my eye, and thank god it did -- I consider myself a grilled cheese connoisseur, and I can say that this is the single greatest recipe for one I've ever had. The fig and truffle oil really do it justice. Meanwhile, my partner swears by the duck confit bowl. Since this is our favorite food place in the city, I reached out to the owner and asked about any sort of birthday surprises for my partner. He and his staff were nice enough to add candles to her order, and they even threw in a nice drink with some happy birthday wishes. Martin and Ryan are the best! I predict we'll be swinging by once a week for quite some time, and you should too. read more

Great food truck that matches perfectly with the brewery they are stationed by. My fiancé and I were consulting with the owner,Martin, on catering our wedding and were impressed with the diversity in the menu. When we swung by without notice just to try it out my fiancé introduced herself and he let us try whatever we wanted on the house! To the food! All the sliders were amazing I favored the fried chicken slider but personally would have gotten one of each just for myself. The tacos were great! Duck tacos had a sweetness to them that was very unique and the fish taco was textbook. Finally that grilled cheese hit the spot! The fries were perfect sides and it was too bad we were soooooo stuffed that we couldn't try a bowl. But the fact that Martin comped is everything while we were just exploring catering options sold me. True professionalism, great quality food and down to earth attitude. I would recommend to many food truck enthusiasts to hit up Upper Cut! Needless to say we chose Upper Cut for our wedding and are super grateful and humbled to have them there! Thanks again Martin! read more

I don't eat meat and I'm trying to steer clear of dairy so my review is obviously skewed in that regard, but if there's one thing that's certain, their fries are killer and definitely my favorite offering from them that I could eat. They're at Barebottle Brewing Co. pretty often and there's usually a number of people waiting. While their fries are great, they hardly constitute a meal so I also tried their broccoli brown rice bowl. It had pickled veggies but was shockingly small (even as a half portion) for $7 with barely any broccoli and maybe half a cup of brown rice. I understand they're focused on meats and I've heard good things about the grilled cheese but it might serve them well to offer a more hearty, dedicated and price appropriate vegan option instead of a small and disappointing afterthought. read more

This food is as good as the owner is looking! (Side Note: Marty call me!) On a more serious note because trust me after meeting the nice charming young gentleman who owns this truck you will be serious about what I said to. Okay back to the food. I had his grilled cheese and tomato bisque pairing first. The tomato bisque actually I think it says soup on the menu but is more like a bisque due to its perfect even tone of cream. Not acidic but also somehow not creamy, can't explain it I will leave that to the chef. The grilled cheese was a hint of sweet which was a nice twist. Second, because I had to try more I then got one of his sliders with fried chicken that had such a nice bourbon batter with a CJL sauce on it. That is where my mouth started watering and not because I caught Marty out the corner of my eye but because this homemade CJL (Cilantro, Jalapeño,Lime) sauce is one of a kind I have never had. If you find this truck, first tell Marty to hit me up then my main recommendation was that chicken slider and if I had room for more I would have tried this perfect mans DUCK Confit! read more

I updating as Martin the owner really cares for his business. I went though emotions of shock and anger an an experience... but he made it right by showing how he cares. Thanks Martin. read more

These guys were absolutely amazing! They were outside one of the parties we attended while in San Francisco and I couldn't have been happier (talk about clutch and much needed). I couldn't even list all the great things on the menu, at a certain point we were all ordering different things to share so we got to try as much as possible at once. I would highly recommend and if you see these guys around flag them down or run over. The Bay area has a ton of food trucks and this is one of the best I've tried. Cheers team! read more

Easily one of the most enjoyable food trucks I've eaten at the Chipau fried chicken slider is so good sal and pepper fries , the oinkster slider , double down slider , Cadillac grilled cheese tried them all left happy and sooo full this truck won't disappoint ! read more

Upper Cut - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

FINALLY got to visit the Upper Cut Truck again. Saw the location on the website and heard from my friend that it was in town. I couldn't miss out! Customer service: Marty, the owner has such an awesome, friendly and welcoming personality! The other customers before and after me seemed to enjoy his positive attitude as well. Food: I ordered for my whole family. We got the- Duck bowl (Duck was delicious & flavorful, I loved it with the variety of veggies) Taco tango (Which is the salmon taco and duck taco. Such a great combo when you want to try something new than your typical beef taco) Cadillac (We've never had a grilled cheese like it before. A MUST try! and the tomato bisque goes perfect with it) I've been here before and also really loved the- Chipao Slider (The chicken is so crisp and goes so perfectly with the sauces which has a sweetness and light spiciness to it) Poutine Fries (I was told it's only available on selected days but it's so good! Also a MUST try) Veggie Bowl (I love that it has a whole bunch of veggies and I love the spice on this one. Plus it's healthy) Salmon Bowl (The green sauce is so good! Especially over the salmon) Garlic parmesan Fries (Just the right amount of garlic, parmesan and crisp) Can't wait to come again to order the other food options! read more

They were posted up at Barebottle Brewery so we gave them a try. The sous vide duck confit taco and fried chicken sandwich were tasty and very juicy. Portion was ok. Took about 10 minutes for the order to come and we got to enjoy it inside the brewery. I would definitely try the duck again, it was insanely tasty with the pickles and tortilla. read more

Upper Cut - Duck confit taco and the fried chicken sandwich - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

Took 1 minute to order, but took 25+ minutes to get my order (grilled cheese melt and tomato bisque). It would've have been okay if they were just busy, but I saw people who ordered after me get their orders first. This is not okay. read more

Upper Cut was featured at the 5th and Minna Off The Grid location for the first time a couple weeks ago. They serve a variety of sliders and tacos as well as fries. I had read several reviews that they were overpriced and found it to be quite true. I ordered a kid's cut cheeseburger slider, it was the size of my fist and $5.50! Definitely should have been closer to $3-4 for the size. The quality of the food is good and the cashier was nice and friendly, however not sure if this place is worth the price. I'd rather go to In-n-out or Super Duper on Market and grab something. read more

Upper Cut - The menu - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

Uppercut was at g lounge for lunch on SoMa and i was pleasantly suprised. I only ordered the duck taco as I was trying two different food trucks that lunch and it was amazing. Duck was moist and flavorful with a nice mango chili salsa on top. There was sweet, spicy, meaty and had a pickle kick. Granted the taco was $6 and as a lover of Mexican tacos for $1.50, I will say that I would go back (as long as it is after payday). read more

Highly recommend the double down and the chipao. We went to this truck outside of bare bottle. Has a really good variety of options and high quality ingredients. Owner of the trucks is really friendly and hospitable! read more

The Waygu mini cut burger was super dry and over cooked two bites then the garbage the large Parmesan fries were good but more like a handful read more

Yum! This food truck came to Redwood City yesterday and my husband and I loved it! We ordered the chicken sliders, pork sliders and fries and they were delicious! The fried chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy and the sauce and candied jalapeños made it. I also asked if the guy working liked the fried chicken or the truffle grilled cheese and he gave me a free grilled cheese on the house, which was so nice. Great marketing because I'm definitely ordering that one next time we go! It had truffle and figs in it and the flavors were so spot on. The guys working the truck were super friendly, as well. Definitely ordering from here every time they come to Redwood City! read more

Bomb sliders and fries! My boyfriend and I split the pork shoulder and fried chicken slider, a side of fries, and the duck confit bowl and all were suuuper good and full of flavor. The truck was parked outside of bare bottle and it was the perfect accompaniment to our craft beers. Will definitely be coming back to try the other things in the menu (everything looks so good!) Also, holy crap. Just tried The Creme Brule its insane. You must get this as a dessert. read more

TLDR - Great service. Great people. And did I mention amazing food? We ordered the duck confit bowl, the fried chicken sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, and fries. All of the food was amazing. Unfortunately the fries came out quite late, but they recognized this issue and brought out a creme brulee for us to try as a sorry we were late. It was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Umm nuff said! Yum! Pork shoulder bowl! Had the salmon bowl on previous occasions but once you get the egg on top your life will change LOL! read more

Upper Cut - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tempted to not go five stars because it's over priced, but the quality of the food wins out and pushes it over because after all, the food is the most important part! Grilled cheese and tomato bisque for $13? Yeah, seems steep, but worth it. May be the best grilled cheese I have ever had. The truffle oil was so spot on. Would purchase again in a second. Oinkster. $6 for a single slider? But oh man is that good meat. And those candies jalapeños - yum yum! I visited when they were at Bare Bottle Brewing and it complements beer quite nicely. :) read more

The food was OK, the value was not. I paid $15 for what I assumed was going to be two sliders ("Double Down?") and a small amount of garlic fries. Instead I got one slider and a tiny amount of fries. It all fit into one of those 6" paper trays. To be fair, there's care given to dress the slider... but the single ice-cream scoop of garlic in the middle of my fries was not what I expected - I tried to scatter it on the fries myself after. Add to that, the slider buns aren't big enough to handle the stack of ingredients in the middle, and I needed a fork for the mess. TL;DR: Food might have been worth $8, definitely not $15. read more

unpleasant customer service. refused to give ketchup even for a kid that wanted it for his fries.

Mmm the Cadillac is so good. My mouth is getting watery just thinking about it right now. This grilled cheese is pretty expensive at $13, but it has all the tastes that I like such as fig and truffle oil. The fig gives it a nice hint of sweetness and the truffle oil made it smell so good while I was in the car driving back to work to eat this grilled cheese Cadillac. It also contains a portion of tomato soup. Good for a little variety and just a grilled cheese. read more

This review is about the Cadillac, which was Cadi-lacking. With folks raving about the grilled cheese, I had to try it. Grilled cheese is my thing, my jam, my happy place. It's the perfect union of crusty bread and melty salty goodness. First, the price. $13 for a sandwich and soup. Ouch. But with such amazing reviews, it HAD to be worth it! Guess again. Way too oily, burnt, and the bread was nothing to write home about. It's bulk bought bread, which is TOTALLY fine, but it was lackluster. Truffle oil was okay, but the entire sandwich was soaking in oil/butter. The fig/cheddar combo was okay, the ratio of cheese was great, but it was... eh. It wasn't better than a home cooked grilled cheese, and the sheer amount of oil/butter made me slightly queasy after eating it. If I had a food truck in my area offering this, I would pay tops of $9 for it with soup. It is NOT worth thirteen dollars. The soup was flavorful and good. Three stars on the soup. I wish I could rate for different parts of service. The gal at the front was super nice, and so was the dude delivering it. FIVE stars on service, definitely. Now, will totally update this review should they head back to Redwood Shores since the rest of their food looked phenomenal, try the sliders or salmon bowl instead, oh and the fries are awesome. read more

This review is long long overdue! I tried Upper Cut for the first time outside of Barebottle Brewing Co. and it was amazing! I love sous vide meat and was so excited to try them. Normally my fave is pork shoulder, and the pork shoulder slider was definitely good, but the fried chicken sliders stole my heart. They were so yummy we had to order more. I do think it is a bit over priced, but still giving a 5 star review because you get what you pay for! You can find them outside of Barebottle Brewing Co. on Cortland Ave every Wednesday and Saturday! read more

Love everything from the menu the owner is a really nice guy best place to eat at spark social

Upper Cut is at Barebottle Brew Company on Saturdays and I can't think of a better combination. The food is incredible. The Oinkster, duck tacos, Grilled Cheese, Pulled Pork & Fried Chicken sliders... there's so much thought into the ingredients that I truly don't think I've ever had food like this. Can't wait to come back read more

Upper Cut - The Cadillac grilled cheese and tomato soup combo. - Food Trucks Near Me - San Francisco, California

After hearing people rave about Upper Cut, I finally had the chance to give it a try. I got the Oinkster and slaw and must say, I was really impressed. This is a craft food truck, and it shows-- the bun on my slider was perfectly toasted, and the meat was wonderfully tender. It's clear that Upper Cut appreciates the artistry of good food. The tangy slaw was a great pairing with my spicy slider (I put some of the slaw right on the slider and it was delish). Thanks for a great meal, Upper Cut! read more
