Maxwell St.

Love this place. I’m originally from Chicago and really enjoy eating here. The sausage is so yummy and pretty legit compared to other places in the bay. I love the cheese fries especially after a few beers at Francesca’s. The owner is really nice and from Chicago and makes this place feel like home.

Eaten at this truck twice now — if i see it at Off The Grid it’s definitely my first stop from now on. The Italian Beef was freakin amazing — RIGHT outta Chicago. I tried the Pork Chop sandwich yesterday and it was killer too, but it’s going to be hard not to order that Italian Beef every time. Seriously — my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it.
SO GOOD!

Had an amazing Italian beef sandwich from these guys last night at Off The Grid in Cupertino! So few people sell Italian Beef out here and so many people don’t know what they’re missing!
Do yourself a favor and go try their Italian Beef Sandwich! You won’t be disappointed.
That plus frozen custard from Lexie’s Frozen Custard truck made me think I was back in Chicago!

I stumbled on to these guys at the move able feast in south san jose. They were totally cool and customized the order to my kids liking.
I really liked the cheese burger… yummy and melty cheese on a juicy patty… on a soft bun. The bun complimented the meat… it doesn’t get in the way.
Good job guys… I hope to see you more often at the San Jose location on Monday nights.

Im going to buck the trend of all these 1 star reviews here. I caught this truck recently and had the pork chop sandwich. I guess unlike one of the previous reviewers, it was boneless. Griddled, mustard, grilled onions on a soft roll. A bag of thing shoestring style fries come on the side. It totally hit the spot. I got talking to the crew and they’re a friendly bunch. The chef owner is an old school fine dining guy. Im talking George Morrone/​Michael Mina era Aqua, the Village Pub. I guess he went back to his Chicago roots and is branching out to his childhood eats. Maybe Im lucky that I hit it late or missed all the hiccups early on but I think this truck has a lot of potential given the pedigree of the owners career. Im definitely going to try the Italian beef sandwich the next time I run into them

How can a Chicago Dog take half an hour? These guys have figured it out. Don’t go unless you have a lot of spare time for a mediocre overpriced dog.

First of all, This is Chicago style Junk food. This is what we love back in Chicago. I can’t stand to read all these moronic uppity comments of people who feel its not high end enough. Chicago style junk food is not healthy but it’s GOTDAYUM GOOD! This man nailed the Italian beef. I should know, I ate at least 3 a week gorwing up in Chicago. I give Brandon 5 stars for the memories alone. Plus he is living my dream of serving Italian Beefs in the Bay Area. And just to be clear, the food in the BAY SUCKS A$$!!! All of it is over rated and over priced. The only thing you got going out here is Sushi and burritos. Outside of that your food couldn’t hold a candle to Chicago Eats. Matter of fact, the best rated pizza out here is Zacharies chicago style pizza which still lacks the authentic taste.

They messed up 2 orders in a row and the fries were undercooked. The side if mustard was on a spoon and got all over the bad. We paid extra for cheese on two orders and no cheese! Boo hoo, not a good experience.

This might be one of the first times I’ve actually regretted giving a place my business.
I actually left feeling ripped off.
There just isn’t really anything good I can say about it.
For the most part, a very boring menu. The bone-​in pork chop sandwich is the only thing that sounded interesting.
Silly me for association bone-​in meats with better quality. At $ 9, I was expecting a quality sammich, but what I got was worse than some cheap sammich from McDonald’s.
I compare to McDonald’s because the bun was exactly the same thing you would find at McDonald’s. The mustard was cheap yellow mustard. The pork chop was lots of bone on all sides, not just on one side, making it impossible to eat like a sandwich. The meat was low quality and cooked badly. And it was tiny, like McDonald’s.
The fries, of which there weren’t that many as well, were equally unappetizing.
Furthermore, for such simple fare as hot dogs, this wasn’t even a quick place. It took a long time to make the meals.
To try and salvage the review of problems: at least they weren’t terribly mean people. I didn’t get yelled at or spit upon. Not exactly the most personable people, very business-​like, but at least not mean.

Conclusion:
They were parked right by a Jack-​In-​The-​Box. I didn’t finish my sammich, and I immediately wished I had just eaten at Jack-​In-​The-​Box instead. I would have had better quality food at a much better price and even more quickly.

I hate to do this, but I’d like to think of it as a critique? I was 10ish (closing time) so I know we were the last customers and the food was close to the end, but its still not an excuse for how bad it was. We had a foot long (they were out of polish) with everything on it. First mistake, everything on it included a pickle, relish and celery salt, so it was really salty. And that was about all it was, the foot long was a little mushy and had zero flavor. Actually it tasted like a meat textured glass of water.
I hate to write a bad review, because the owner seemed like a cool guy. So maybe be his friend, and order the polish dog? But for sure, skip the foot long…
