    Philly (secret menu item)
    Athena D.

    Been supporting Mad Creationz for a while and it's one of my favorite places along with my husband. My husband always got the Philly and now it is one of my favorite burgers. It's basically a Philly cheesesteak but smash burger style. Their Mac n cheese? Amazing as well! I'm a huge fan of spice and flavor in my food so the Mac n cheese just hits so good! We used to go to the Nile's farmers market to get food but now that he's in Newark we go almost every weekend for brunch. Marcus and his team are always so welcoming and happy to help with any questions. So if you're curious about a menu item or curious if they have the ingredients to make the Philly, just ask them.

    Mushroom Smashburger and Garlic Fries
    Bryan T.

    Vegetarian review, YMMV. The ambience around Niles Farmers market is always good, and staff are always cheerful when I see them smashing burgers on the grill, so I thought I'd give it a taste. Ordering their mushroom smashburger with a side of garlic fries. The mushroom burger was ok. The sauce overpowered all the other flavors though, and a better balance from the onions and mushrooms would have made it a lot better. The garlic fries were super disappointing. They tasted like regular fries with a bit of Parmesan and garlic bits sprinkled in. I usually don't like to factor in price as part of the reviews, but at $8 for garlic fries that didn't taste garlicky is not worth it.

    My go to is the morning star burger (10/10). Today I wanted to try something different and ordered the space cowboy - unfortunately they were sold out of onion rings BUT! As usual they suggest maybe swapping the rings out for bacon or fries and they suggested why not both. F**k it why not! And damn!!! Let me tell you this was a damn amazing burger. I was worried it would be too much but it was absolutely perfect. Crispy fries soaked up some of the bbq and their spicy sauce. Brisket was Smokey and tender. Bacon was crispy and just the right amount of saltiness. The patty was great too -juicy with a nice crust. Amazing 10/10 would recommend. If they ever offer advice on modifications just listen because they DONT MISS!!

    First encounter Marcus and Mad creationz last year at the Fremont art and wine festival. I was so hooked on his food that I try my best to make it to most of his pop ups at either farmers markets or events. You can tell the time and effort Marcus puts in his food. From the smash burgers to the brisket mac n cheese. Marcus is also one of the friendliest people you'll meet and so genuine. If you have the chance to check them out be sure to support!

    MAD Creationz comes to Hayward for the weekly Saturday farmers market and I attend almost every weekend just for this booth. The brisket mac n cheese & the morning star burger is MY PERSONAL FAV! The service is so quick and fast. They really care about their customers and want to make sure they are enjoying the food and overall experience! Marcus took my order and he was very nice and welcoming. Definitely come try the food if you are at the Hayward farmers market on Saturdays!!!

    Royale with Cheese "slider".
    Chris R.

    My wife and I were lured to the MAD Creationz stand at the Niles Farmers Market by the delicious smell of the burgers being fried and the number of people standing in line waiting to order. We ordered two Royales with Cheese and one order of garlic fries. The total came out to $42. The drive home was torturous as the scent of the burgers had us salivating, and we couldn't wait to get home and dig in. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we couldn't believe the size of the burgers -- they were so... small? WTH? We paid $14 per SLIDER that was bathing in grease? The Smashburger chain's burgers aren't this greasy, so we couldn't understand why these were so greasy. The disappointment didn't end there as we opened the next box and were greeted by pale and undercooked fries. The centers were still firm instead of "fluffy", and the exteriors were soft and mushy. While the "sliders" were tasty and we finished them, we ended up tossing out the French fries as they were inedible. I would rather have spent the $42 at Bronco Billy's across the street from the farmers market where they serve up some delicious pizza and ice cold beers. We will not be ordering from MAD Creationz again, and I cannot, in good conscience, recommend them to anyone.

    Brisket Mac
    Anna W.

    MAD creationz is SO GOOD! we catch them at the farmers market in Livermore and everything is always 10/10. We get the smash burgers and royale burger. Lots of flavor without being too much. The staff is always super friendly and ready to answer questions if needed.

    Came by last minute before closing to grab the Mac and cheese with the brisket on top, was absolutely blown away by how delicious it was!! Had to step it up a notch and throw it on a sandwich 10/10 deff coming back!!

    Marcus was such a wonderful host and business owner to speak with. The burgers are DEFINITELY delicious from cook, taste, veggies and condiments. The way the grease drips from each bite, I definitely would recommend this smash burger to anyone! All of their food is delicious and do not sleep on the brisket ON TOP of the Mac n Cheese! I going here again and again

    Space Cowboy Burger

    The best burger i've had all year accompanied by 10/10 customer service. Mad Creationz offers a quality experience from start to finish. The owner and his family are passionate about their brand and you can taste it in their food. Highly recommend the 'Space Cowboy.' It will not disappoint!

    Avocado toast with egg and breakfast sandwich
    Korina L.

    Went to a farmer's market and while I was picking up produce, I kept smelling this heavenly delicious scent that seemed to be following me through the different booths. I finally made my way back up front and found this stall. I took a minute to decide, as all the options sounded so so good. I decided on avocado toast with egg as well as the breakfast sandwich. Ebony, who took my order, was such a delight. She was so friendly and approachable. When I got my food, it looked incredible and was super fresh. One bite of either dish and I was in heaven! So much flavor in EVERY bite. The sandwich had both sweet and savory going for it, and it was a perfect balance. The avocado toast was crispy, not soggy at all and a very pleasant ratio of avocado to toast. I enjoyed the meal so much that I had to go back to the booth and let them know how delicious the food was. I was also given the opportunity to try the brisket mac (thank you Marcus) and holy HECK it was SO yummy. I can't praise them enough. They're doing everything right. Please check them out if you get the chance, you will NOT regret it.

    Everything had such awesome flavor!

Larry was referred to me by a friend and I'm so happy I called him. Larry was genuinely excited to do my event, got back to me very quickly when after I called and was extremely easy to work with. He was proactive in asking what kind of paperwork needed to be completed for the city and took it upon himself to make sure there weren't any other licenses required. On the day of the event, he arrived on time to set up, was ready to go when the event started and was completely self sufficient. As someone planning an event with many other things to think about and do, this was fantastic. While using someone who is easy to work with is important, it really comes down to the food. Let me tell you, the food was incredible! I can't tell you how many people at my event told me how good the food was and how happy they were to have Larry's Smokin BBQ as an option. Food has been a challenge at my event in the past so this year was easily the best. I had the tri-tip sandwich and it was truly one of the best I've ever had. Also tasted the chicken and it was incredible. If you're planning a party or event, you can't go wrong with Larry's Smokin BBQ. Easy to work with and top notch food. What more can you ask for!

My husband and I got the veggie chow mein, veggie momos (dumplings), and split a mango lassi. I found the flavors of the momos to be a bit subtle (unfortunately common for veggie dumplings here in the Bay Area), but the veggie chow mein was decently flavorful. My husband liked both things we got equally, as far as I could tell. The food tasted fresh, and it was nice to be able to pick up a light lunch before continuing to trawl the farmer's market. The mango lassi is exactly what you expect (can you ever go wrong with a mango lassi?), and was nice and refreshing. It's a food truck, so the seating available is probably going to vary a lot based on where you encounter them.

As a regular in this area, I've noticed a few red flags that are hard to ignore: Zero Visible Permits: Most legal food vendors are required to display their Alameda County Health Department "green placard" and a city business license. This stand has neither. Hygiene Issues: There are no visible handwashing stations or proper refrigeration systems for the raw meat and trompo being served. In a 2026 climate where food safety is increasingly a concern, eating from an open-air tent with no running water is a major gamble. Unfair Competition: Our local "brick-and-mortar" restaurants pay high rents, city taxes, and regular inspection fees to keep our community safe and fed. Unpermitted pop-ups like this one operate with zero overhead, which directly hurts the small businesses that have been the backbone of Hayward and Union City for years.
