Grillaz Gone Wild

By far my favorite food truck! You can’t go wrong with a flavorful philly cheese steak! Gorillas gone wild has never disappointed me over the years. Great people who work on the truck, always have an enjoyable experience all around!

I was able to try the Flying Pig when they were at a local food truck night in the San Lorenzo area and my sister brought me home a hot steamin’ sandwich from this food truck.
First impression? They don’t skimp you on portions or flavor. It’s a pretty hefty sandwich that they fill with whatever sandwich fillings your order dictates.
First bite? It was really good! My sister got the Flying Pig, which is their most popular sandwich and we definitely know why! It really does pack a heavy punch and sensation of flavor! Chicken AND Bacon AND Ham alongside pineapples and whatever else is in their sauce or really this sandwich! By far, I can understand why they run out of these by the end of the night! Sadly, I wasn’t able to get my hands on my own but my sister did get me the Mushroom Swiss, which is essentially a beef sandwich loaded with cheese and mushrooms! This sandwich was quite good and they were were not all stingy with the mushrooms and cheese and kept it true to the sandwich’s name (Mushroom Swiss) because not only was cheese oozing out of my sandwich, mushrooms were falling out as well! :)
BIGGEST CAVEAT? While I enjoyed my sandwich, one of the biggest problems I had wasn’t the bread that eventually got soggy either because of the sauce or the moistness of the ingredients or steam building up in the to-​go container. It was that the meat/​fillings was WAY TOO SALTY. I’m all about the salt life and adding enough to bring out the flavors of a dish, but there’s a very fine line between just right and too salty & unfortunately Grillaz Gone Wild crossed this line. I had to take breaks to drink water during my sammich, that’s forsure. Note on the soggy bread? Some people love this, but I really enjoy the nice crunch, but I get that a) all sandwiches are different and b) I didn’t get mine when it was super fresh.
All in all, not a bad fast food truck option and worth trying especially if you can get the Flying Pig Sandwich! Pretty filling and they even have other sides you can purchase to really complement your sandwich, such as fries! Wooo, potatoes are life. However, I would avoid this place if you’re not really into foods that may or may not come out oversalted imo. Nonetheless, I would be down to eat one of their sandwiches in the future.

Grillaz Gone Wild turned out to be our favorite food trucks at Off The Grid in Pleasanton when we saw them there that day. Was unsure about purchasing anything here, but their staff member did a great job of convincing us to give them a try! 5 stars for Customer Service!
Flying Pig caught my eye so that is what I ordered! The name itself is awesome because I always dream of seeing a flying pig! Don’t judge me! Anyways, they packed that warm toasted roll with plenty of stuff! There was chicken, ham, pineapple, onions, cheese, green onions, sweet chili sauce, and bacon filled to the brim! Needed a fork to clean up the mess I made. That Flying Pig was so darn good!!! (4.5 stars)
Because the sandwich was large, I thought that the price was very reasonable. Now, I do not know how the rest of the sandwiches taste. Will probably try more of their choices during future visits. If I really like one or two additional items off their menu too, then they will be getting 5 stars from me in the future.

I’m kind of upset with myself for always overlooking this food truck during Pleasanton OTG. I was like… mehhhh not in the mood for a sammich. I am delighted to say that I CRAVE Grillaz Gone Wild. A friend and I showed up at the last 15 minutes of OTG, so we had to make a quick choice.
Guy in the truck who called me a pretty lady and showed me how much meat was in the sandwiches y’all make. This shout out is to you! You weren’t kidding and I am SO happy for it. I ordered the Flying Pig and just about lost my mind. There is A LOT OF MEAT. The meat was tender and juicy and the combination of sweet chili sauce and pineapple with the cheese. Oh man. I can’t wait to order it again.
Sucks there’s an add charge for credit card, but I feel ya. Thank you for letting me know ahead of time :) See y’all next weekend. I’m bent on making my husband a fan too!

Pros:
bread is soft and delicious
a lot of meat
steak fries were good
Cons:
meat was way too salty
cheese only on the top of the meat/​bread so the rest was really dry
Overall, I thought they were just ok but it would help to have the meat mixed with the cheese more and a lot less salt. it was my first time trying them but I don’t think I would have them as a first choice food truck

Meat meat meat! If you are a fan of meat you will not be disappointed! It is literally piled on with delicious peppers and sauce. I got the BBQ bacon… and you should too. Get ready to be satisfied!

the portobello is basically inedible! it is SO spicy, it takes away any flavor the vegetables could have had. Pepper seeds everywhere! There are also hardly any mushrooms in here either. I can’t even salvage this sandwich. It’s like they took all the vegetables and threw them in a food processor and then dumped it on the bread. Very disappointed in this throw away of a vegetarian option.

AMAZING food and awesome customer service. I wish they came to our office more often! Their portions were huge and perfectly made. Highly recommended to get the one with pineapple.

11÷4÷15 (update): Been a while since I had this, but they had a new special today, and did something cool so I figured I should share…
1. Chicken Garlic Mushroom (daily special) $ 10 (add tax, if use credit card?): It’s their style – humongoid and packed with meat. The chicken is really tasty and moist – not overcooked or dry at all. As I chowed down, plenty of juices just keep dripping from my huge sandwich onto the paper container. This is meat at its best. The white cheese and mushroom also add even more moisture and make kinda a sauce – good stuff. I rarely get chicken in sandwiches, but when I do, this is a great choice! ⁹⁄₁₀.
2. Fries:… sooo… no fries. Their fryer was broken. BUT… they told me that since they couldn’t give me the fries I could grab any soda I wanted FOR FREE! So I got me a Mexican Coca Cola and left happy. THANKS!
How cool’s that?! Awesome truck.

This food truck was great. I got the flying pig cheese steak. It was $ 10 and giant. Great value, flavor, portion. I they were also very polite! I’ll be back for sure!

They added a 10% charge for using my credit card but didn’t tell me or give me the option to use cash.
Restaurant owners — you can charge whatever you want but if you don’t tell me you’re going to do it you get 1 star.

Great steak sandwiches smothered in nacho cheese. I recommend the spicy steak as the hot peppers give it the flavor. The smothered fries with bacon are covered in nacho cheese, sour cream and bacon. All in all a nice food truck but nothing to really write home to mom about.

I have been waiting to try this food truck for a bit and finally got a chance last night at Fremont Street Eats. Based upon reading all the reviews, I had to order the Flying Pig. First of all, the sammie was filled with meat and topped with green onions. They definitely didn’t skimp on the portions, which I really appreciated. The flavors were awesome. It was so good, I just couldn’t put it down. I also ordered fries for an additional $ 1. The steak fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly, since they were crispy on the outside.
Staff were friendly and I’ll have to try their Mushroom Swiss the next time.

Food truck came to the business down the street from me and I chose it over Sams Chowder Mobile after reading the menu! Decided to try the Flying Pig and it did not disappoint. Tons of food, tons of flavor, and tons of deliciousness. On the heavier side and the bread tasted a bit old (or maybe because I didn’t eat it until half an hour later?) but still very good. They also have the option of putting everything on lettuce instead which I will try next time. Also if the cheese was a big more melted it would be a 5 star for me!

A good Thursday night for me and my family is when you see that gorgeous Kermit green food truck parked in San Lorenzo (on Hesperian and Paseo Grande).
The «Grillaz» are friendly, funny, charming and hard working.
They take pride in serving G FANS, and cheesesteak sammy lovers: hot, kind portions of well seasoned beef, onions on a warm toasted roll. Never forgetting to ladle gooey cheddar cheese sauce with Philly-​CAL love.
As a pescetarian, I didn’t indulge, HOWEVER my eyes, and my family did. I have to show respect to the LOADED FRIES, BA-​NANAS!
Or as I fondly like to call them, «G Fries».
Of course, I have a pic of the delicious, naughtiness of steak cut fries, cheddar cheese sauce, sour cream. Wait for it… sprinkled with green onions and BACON!
I had to be apart of all of this goodness. I tried the Portobello Vegetarian, it was spicy, I enjoyed it. Although, I would have liked a bit more white American cheese, hold the garlic.
Totally worth 10 + dollars, not bucks (lol).
SO WORTH Checking out their website to stalk their next location, and menu.
You are welcome!!!

Went today for the first time. Trevor, the owner was super friendly. Great customer service… My friend got the Pepper Steak and I got the flying pig. Both were fantastic. Really good flavor, great rolls, and the steak fries were seasoned to perfection.
Definitely looking up future dates in my area and coming back!!!

The Grillaz we’re A-​OK.
Truck was clean and was fast, only took about 8 min for 2 sandwiches.
We got the Flying Pig, and the Pepper Beef and they were pretty good. Flying Pig is sweet and not as messy as the Pepper Beef with all its juices. They were both good.
When another customer asked what tasted better between 2 sandwiches, the guy said, «I don’t know, depends on your taste buds — I’ve never had dinner with you.» which was funny but he didn’t offer any sort of explanation of either and wasn’t super helpful.

Lucky for me I was able to devour grillaz gone wild sandwiches at a work event last week. My work covered the bill so I was able to try a few of their sandwiches. This included their bbq chicken, mushroom swiss, and their special for the day their Philly Fish sandwich.
OMG. All were so delicious! I honestly don’t think they could make a bad sandwich. Not only were their sandwiches good but their loaded fries was delicious! Their portions are huge and there was no way I could finish one sandwich by myself. I took most of them home and they were still good the next day! The bread was soft and the amount of meat they give is generous.
The guys on truck were pretty nice too!
Overall good food! Can’t wait to try again. I’ll definitely be stalking their next stops!

These Sandwiches are no joke, they’re huge! Seriously, if you’re at a food truck event then one these can be shared with 2 or 3 people if you’re trying multiple trucks.
I was lucky enough to get to try them at our very own food truck event in Mountain House and where I did really want to try the Chicken Bacon Ranch it wasn’t on the menu for the evening so I went for the Flying Pig instead (
) — $ 9 + $ 1 for Fries.
\Loaded with Chicken, bacon, ham, pineapple, onions, sweet chili sauce, green onions it was meant to come with American Cheese (ick) but asked for Cheddar instead. I didn’t know that the Cheddar Cheese was actually Cheese sauce so this is something to keep in mind when ordering.
That small overlook on my part was ok though as it was still pretty darn tasty. The Bread was soft, there was a lot of filling and amazingly the goopy Cheese and Sweet Chili sauce actually went well together, The addition of Fries however wasn’t needed and were a little cold for my liking and the Sandwich was filling enough split between 2 for a light meal.

After seeing a friend return from the truck with one of their sandwiches I just had to try one. I ordered the Portobello Vegetarian with Portobello mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, garlic, sweet hot cherry peppers, and cheese. I added the steak fries for an extra buck and asked them to hold the bun.
Even without the bread this sammie was generous enough for two people. The peppers and onions were delicious and remind me of my friends home made sausage and peppers.
I didn’t have to wait more than a couple of minutes for the savory goodness to be delivered. They’ll be at Stoneridge Mall on Friday. Looks like I have a reason to ‘go shopping’ for once.
