Upper Cut is located at the Spark Social. We decided to try this food truck in September. We ordered the chicken bowl and the salmon bowl. The sauce that the bowl comes with is super tasty so I asked for extra sauce. Will have to come back and try out more of their food.

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.

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.

Was craving a slider and came upon this food truck. Bom dot com and not too expensive. Would definitely be back to try the rest of the menu

Beef brisket -- full with extra eggs $26.50 total

Cathrin P C.

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.

Grilled salmon and Chipao - Chicken Slider

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.

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.

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.

Half order of poutine with added candied jalapeños and bacon. This will set you back $14.

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.

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!

Cadillac Grilled Cheese w/ fig, sharp+white cheddar, truffle oil, side of bisque ($14) & Mini Cut Wagyu Slider w/ cheese ($4.50 each)

Cherylynn N.

"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.

Mini cut wagyu and loaded spicy sous-vide pork sliders packed a 1-2 punch!

Michael Y.

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!

First time going to Spark SF. I ordered the half portion of the brisket bowl for $15. SUPER DISAPPOINTED!!! The bowl was way too small and it only had a couple of pieces of brisket on it. It's not even a kids size portion and way overpriced. I already expected that food will be pricey but this was too much. read more

Pricey for sure, but the food is damn good. For about $6.50, you can get yourself a double down slider. It's 2 small, perfectly succulent patties inside a grilled bun with slaw. Yum. A large order of fries will set you back $6, but these bad boys are classic kennebec and perfectly fried. The garlic parmesan flavor will leave you thinking of the ballpark. The bowls are also fantastic. The duck confit is tender and savory, and it comes with a fried egg and brown rice (excellent al dente). Again, the only downside is the price. That bowl almost clocks in at $15 for a regular food truck tray/plate. Service time is quick and friendly, and I'd come back for a few more bites, especially that Cadillac grilled cheese. You can generally find a truck outside Barebottle Brewing on Cortland in SF. read more

I don't often seek out food trucks, or really have much opportunity to with kids and living on the outskirts of the city. We hopped over to BareBottle Brewery in Bernal, and Upper Cut happened to be there, and my only food choice. I am thrilled that I was forced to eat there! I was ravished, so the little piggie that I am, ordered one of each of the 3 sliders. And holy hell! I was knocked off my keister! These sandwiches were far better than anything I have had recently at a restaurant. Each different slider had so many different taste components to it. So many different levels for your taste buds to dissect. I will definitely try to find these guys out and about again. GO SHOVE THIER FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH HOLE! read more

Every now and then I'll take a bite of something that compels me to chew more slowly. Usually that thing is toro or sea urchin or something else that costs $10 per bite but I had the same reaction to Uppercut's grilled cheese (I.e. The Cadillac). It's smothered in butter and oozes mild but flavorful cheese with fig jam and just enough truffle oil to make you say MMMMMMM WHAT IS IN THIS?? My SO, who is a meat eater, has tried most of the other meat options on the menu and he says the grilled cheese is also his favorite. My only complaint is that the tomato soup that comes with it is usually lukewarm. The truck is often parked at Barebottle Brewery in Bernal Heights so you get to have your crazy delicious sandwich while also hanging out at a giant warehouse with some pretty epic beers. Minus one star because the food can take really long and we found most of the other items (oinkster, chipao (fried chicken slider), duck confit) to be good but not amazing (even thought they sound better in the description). read more

This is one of those places where everything you bite into, you end up closing your eyes and saying "God that's good". I recommend this place to everyone and its fascinating to learn how they cook everything! I can't recommend any specific food because EVERYTHING was amazing, but I will say the duck, fried chicken, and pork dishes are freaking to die for. Really affordable too! I went with a group about a year ago and individually all 6 of us have gone to great lengths to make sure we eat here again! read more

Upper Cut is INSANELY DELICIOUS! 5 Stars for sure! The truck was nearby our work, so we decided to head over and try it out. First of all, the truck itself is totally awesome--I loved the whole "Sous Vide" style and the cool SF branding--seeing the Golden Gate displayed all over was awesome! :) Second of all, the foooooood. Oh my god, the food. I ordered the Double Down, which was a meat on meat slider (Sous Vide style brisket and sirloin, need I say more?!) and so melt-in-your-mouth delicious. It was the perfect mix of perfectly cooked smoky meat, tangy, crunchy slaw and sauce, and a soft buttery bun. Im legitimately drooling just thinking about it. I also had a bite of my friends truffle grilled cheese and tomato soup--OHMYGOD I have to go back just to order that! It was the absolute perfect grilled cheese, with nice buttery brown toasted bread and delicious, melty, ooey gooey cheese oozing out the sides. And the truffle oil.....jesus. Cherry on top of a perfect sandwich. The customer service was great too, super nice and fast! I can't wait to go back! read more

I tried the sliders, pork and brisket, which were good. If I were judging by the food quality only, this would be a solid 4. However, there are some issues with this truck. 1. It's overpriced. The $ for the truck is misleading, more like $$$ for a food truck, because you need to spend around $15-$20 for this to be an actual meal. It costs $5 / $6 for a small slider. Seriously? These should be $3 & $4 for what you get. 2. The order fulfillment time is really slow. By contrast, the chairman's truck line moved about 4x faster than this truck's. read more

The menu item I tried was the cadillac cheese with a side of tomato bisque. Cadillac grilled cheese had good flavor with the added fig, and the bisque was really good. I have to say I am disappointed in the prices vs portion sizes. I feel they could keep their prices if they upped the portion sizes just a bit. Like the side of bisque was a tiny cup only half filled. Cadillac grilled cheese was plentiful but needed more soup to go with. Also, they completed three orders of the sandwich and soup at once and each one still had semi solid slices of the cheese. You HAVE to serve a melted grilled cheese. Each slider is $6 and they are small. Love the concept and the look/sound of their menu, they only need to find the balance in pricing vs portions. read more

I didn't even get to try the food because I was waiting in line for over 15 mins to order while plenty of other folks were waiting to pick up their order. Sure the wait time was reasonable until I realized the hold up was a white male employee working the front and joking with customers. Then he started eating without washing his hands after the line in front of me wrapped up. Then he ignored me for 5 more minutes and I signaled if I could please place my order and he yelled at me telling me you need to simmer down and don't you see how busy we are--- so I paused waiting one more minute until I heard him say just move the fuck along. I left and went back to ask for his manager because I was so appalled to be spoken to like that- and he told me don't you know people are laughing at you and behind me two white guys were and it almost felt like he was encouraging them. I'm also a person of color and I felt so uncomfortable. He refused to allow me to speak to a manager or someone else in the truck because I'm sure he's probably the white privileged a** that runs it. Definitely will never order from here. I've never been treated like that. The owner was really unprofessional. I didn't mean to make it a racial thing, but he was so attentive and friendly to the white customers. After I walked away- two other BIPOC people told me they had a similar experience- he was rude to them and being racially bias. read more

My wife and are are throwing a party in sf in April. We have been food truck shopping for a while. This was day 3 in a row of sampling. By far the best experience and food. Marty aka Martin was responsive to all emails in a timely manner. We ate the double down slider, oinkster, duck bowl, and chicken taco. My wife loved the duck bowl and I loved both of the sliders. Our friend got the Cadillac grilled cheese with tomato soup and that was delicious as well. Looking forward to working with this truck and eating from them again soon. read more

We ordered the momos, Brussels sprout salad, carne asada, and rack of lamb (as well as a spaghetti with a side of wild mushrooms for our son).

This review is…read morelong overdue as I had an amazing experience at Trestle for a birthday dinner a whole year ago. By sheer luck, my birthday coincided with the 4-course for $45 promotion they were running for their 10-year anniversary. I had to jump at the opportunity, especially since the menu was built from the all time favorite items at the restaurant since their opening. I really couldn't think of a better way to experience a restaurant for the first time. While some set course meals have a few misses, this one was just hit after hit the entire way through. I really felt as if every course was complimentary, but different enough in their own way to stand on their own and make an impact. Tldr: the food was amazing! The icing on the cake (figuratively and literally) was just how far they went out of their way to make my birthday night special. Exceptional service, bringing out a complimentary dessert with a candle, and even leaving a personalized card elevated this experience to the next level. Would highly recommend paying Trestle a visit, and I can't wait for the next time I'm able to try their new menus myself!

I had a 3 course dinner here for just $39 back then in 2022. Even though it has gone up to $52 for a 4 course meal now, it is still a budget friendly option for Michelin recommended dinning. We visited around Christmas, so the cozy little space felt extra festive. The restaurant is quite small, which added to the charm, though it did get pretty loud during dinner service. As for the food, both the presentation and flavors were decent but not particularly memorable. Nothing really stood out or left a lasting impression. That said, considering the price point and the Michelin recognition, I still think it is worth trying at least once. - Sweet Potato Soup - Pear & Arugula Salad - Arroz Con Pollo (+$12) - Butternut Squash Campanelle (+$12) - Braised Short Rib - Seared Salmon - Chocolate Doughnut Sundae - Key Lime Pie

While we were waiting for our friends, our waiter brought us water: "Just a reminder, we need the table back by 7:30." Our friends arrived seven minutes later. Guess what? "Just a reminder, we need the table back by 7:30." Mission accepted. The food came out at lightning speed, family-style. We barely talked, ate like we were competing in the Olympics, and crossed the finish line by 6:55 p.m. starters and mains completely demolished. We were so proud of ourselves! Dessert arrived at 7:15 p.m. I always like to enjoy dessert with coffee, so I ordered a cold brew from another waiter. A few minutes later, our original waiter rushed over: "Cold brew takes about 10 minutes... and you'll be out of time because we need the table back by 7:30." At that point, I almost replied, "Don't worry, I'll just inhale it." The entire meal felt like a timed exam. The staff seemed stressed, robotic, and not a single smile in sight. Ironically, after we paid the bill and got up to leave... our waiter finally gave me the biggest, warmest smile of the night. Oh brother! The food was delicious, but the dining experience nearly gave me high blood pressure. Next time I'll bring a stopwatch instead of an appetite!

A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

This is located into the tenderloin, so please be aware that you will have to find your own street parking but parking a garage is preferred.

The food was pretty good. The fried chicken and deviled eggs were super tasty. I'm rating this 4 stars instead of 5 due to a couple of service issues. First, their bar policy for large groups is frustrating. A guest in our party tried to order a soda at the bar but was turned away because he wasn't physically sitting at the bar counter. For large groups, people should be allowed to open separate bar tabs so they don't have to be looped into the main table bill. It feels unreasonable and cuts into the bartenders' tips. Second, our server wasn't very welcoming. While not openly rude, the cold demeanor made our diverse group feel a bit pre-judged, which was disappointing. We still ended up with a hefty bill and tipped well, but hospitality could definitely be improved. Overall, we had a great time because of the company, music, and food. I'm willing to give it another try to see if the service improves!

Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

The pastries are all flaky and crispy, and you can tell they were crafted by a true craftsman. I think what makes Juniper so special is the selection of unique flavors they have. My favorite being their award-winning Cubano croissant, their black sesame kouign amann, and their choux pastries. I do want to call out how much I appreciate the amount of savory pastries they have since I don't always want a sweet treat the moment I wake up. To note, Juniper is typically busy, but I have never waited in line for more than 10 minutes, even on weekends. They also have a lot of tables for seating, but because of the flow of people, it might be difficult to find a spot. Stop by here if you're around the area!

The workers are quick and efficient and it's clear that despite having a robust menu and being quite busy they've got an excellent system going to make sure fresh pastries are coming out reasonably fast. The interior is more industrial and small and definitely more of a grab and go, or sit down for a quick few bites type of vibe. My friend and i got a few things to try, but the standouts were the mulberry danish, and the kimchi bacon Danish. All the pastries were crisp, with many buttery layers and were clearly well made but these two had the most flavor and stood out as offerings that are a bit more unique compared to other bakeries in the city. We also tried the black sesame kouign amann, which was more reminiscent of a morning bun type pastry, and the cubano and the ham and cheese croissants, which were good but just lacking a little in flavor. Overall, Juniper has excellent pastries, and I'll definitely be sure to grab a plain croissant next time to try it out as well - some pastries pack a bit more flavor than others but given how quickly the like moves I'll definitely be back again to try some of their othering offerings soon!

They used a strawberry cream top instead of a puree, which I actually enjoyed. It added a nice creaminess to the drink, and the matcha was very smooth and strong. It worked well together.

I usually don't drink/like coffee, but the guava cold brew sounded so interesting I couldn't resist. The fruity jasmine tea somehow paired so well with the coffee and made it a nice refreshing drink. I was also lucky enough to try the matcha crepe cake, which I believe they get from Lady M. It had really nice layers and was light, but unfortunately it was a little too sweet for me. Overall a very solid matcha/coffee option in SF. They have a beautiful interior too, perfect for catching up with friends. Servers were sweet as well!

Extreme prices, terrible service, just okay food. Pork Bowl $19.80 to order. The cashier flipped me a brisket bowl for $27.50, pork please. Turns from me, lowers the volume, and asks again that I get a bowl of brisket. I say "No, pork bowl, it's called Mr. Pink on your menu" the cashier asks "And that's it?" I say, he's 10 minutes and step back to wait. 2 minutes later, he's waving me toward the truck, holding the tip screen and looking expectantly. I see my total is $27.50 for a brisket bowl. The fourth time I have to claim that I want pork, I should give up now. But I was then sitting and determined, and then chipping in for a tip, charging a dollar for it. I spent the next 10 minutes wondering if they should serve pork after charging me for brisket. I finished with the brisket. So how was my $32.50 brisket bowl? This is half a cup of rice, and half a cup of beef and broccoli. I paid $33 for a half plate of buffet quality bulgogi. Sf has a lot of food options, give it a go. read more
