Upper Cut: Reviews & Ratings
Great burger, nothing more needs to be said. Yelp said my review was too short so I will say it again great burger!
We visited the city from abroad and stumbled across Upper Cut food truck at Sparks Social. WOW!! We tried the chicken bowl, the mini cut, the poutine fries and crab cakes and it was just amazing. Not the typical food truck...
This.place. Is. Money. Healthy food truck. Yes please! Try the various rice or salad bowls with soups vide chicken or your other favorite. Just freaking amazing quality. Delicious. And you don't feel like a bloated corpse after eating it. Delicious. 5000 stars
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.
Here for UCSF visit, and went to Spark Social food truck center for a quick bite. This one hit the spot for a quick & small bite (sliders and fries). Sliders were very good, and fries were normal. Not the cheapest but could be worse. Overall it worked for us.
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.
