We used Upper Cut for the first time today for a company appreciation event. Marty and his crew were spectacular!They showed up on time, were efficient and courteous and best of all served up an eclectic array of food delights. My staff commented that this was the best food they have had in a long time and were astonished it was served out of a truck in a park. Marty was so chill to work with. We are already trying to figure out when we can hire him again. I highly  recommend Upper Cut. More...

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.

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. 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. More...

Great quality food! I Had to make my first yelp review. My friends and I ordered the Salmon bowl, chicken slider (Chipao), Brisket slider (Double Down), and Garlic Parmesan fries. We were all very satisfied! The green sauce included in the salmon bowl was so good we had to ask for extra on the side. Their sliders were tender and delicious! And the Garlic Parmesan fries were so good my friend was munching on it without noticing he had to share. The owner and employees were all great vibes. Overall it was a great experience eating at Upper Cut. More...

My boss had been bragging about their chicken sliders and after a while I had finally given in. I saw them parked at BareBottle and decided that was the perfect day to give them a go. When I tell you that it was the absolute best chicken slider I have ever me had, I mean every word of that. It was perfectly crunchy and juicy with just the right amount of sweet and spice. An absolute mouth orgasm. I will definitely be hitting their truck up again to try the other delicious food choices on the menu. 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!

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!

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! More...

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.

Ok people are complaining about the price of the "Cadi" grilled cheese and tomato bisque. First off do you know how much figs cost? Let alone tomatoes.  Everything is fresh and cooked to order!! Including that delicious fried chicken breast (melt in your mouth with juices), yummy. This is a huge is a plus for me. I'm ocd so if the food was to greasy or not the right temperature I would definitely ask for a refund.Long lines are expect when you can get duck confetti tacos with an exceptional palette. Portions are always on point, and worth every penny. After all who needs a brown paper bag after one bite.Keep in mind that this is a food truck, not a Michelin five star restaurant, and they only can carry so much product. So when they run out of food or something is broken be more understanding and mindful.Love, Love,Love the service flavors and aspect and will be looking to book them in the future for parties. If you haven't tried them out do so already....!!! More...

Why 5 stars? Because the grilled cheese sandwich was the best thing I ate during my week in San Francisco.   ---   ---   ---I was in SF for a work conference for a few days and these conferences always consist of us eating a ridiculous level of great food around the Bay Area. I can easily say that my favorite bite of 2018's conference was the grilled cheese from Upper Cut.I couldn't quite put my finger on what made this thing so amazing until I went back and spoke with the owner while looking at the ingredients. There was some kind of pureed fig on this thing, and that little hint of sweetness is what set this grilled cheese apart from the rest. Well, that and the utterly unbelievable tomato bisque. The sandwich stood on its own quite well, but the bisque on top of it was what turned it up to 11. Please give me this sandwich every day for the rest of my life and serve it at my funeral. I only wished I'd had the appetite to try the chicken sandwich too, but that will have to wait for 2019! More...

There are a plethora of food trucks in the Bay Area, but in my opinion very few - are able to curate a menu that caters to a variety of different dietary needs, while at the same time producing photo-worthy dishes that are made with quality ingredients. Uppercut is one such food truck.We booked Uppercut for a work offsite and they were absolutely fantastic to work with - from beginning to end. Marty was extremely responsive and personable in all of our E-mail interactions and him and his team went out their way to produce a diverse menu that all of our attendees gushed over.From delicious Salmon Rice bowls, to Cadillac Grilled Cheese sandwiches with homemade Tomato Bisque, to Duck Confit tacos, to gourmet sliders and more - Upper Cut served up remarkable looking dishes with massive smiles.

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 (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.
