G Food Truck Lounge

I am in love with the vibes here. It definitely maintains the downtown SF /​tech hub vibes.
I am specifically in love with the German food truck (Little Red Riding Hood) and the Thai food truck (Phat Thai). Curry Up Now sometimes is featured here and I like their sweet potato tikka masala fries.
In general, you’ll usually find space to sit or lounge around here for a quick lunch. I’d come earlier rather than later, as lines can get pretty long!

Pretty awesome spot if you’re in the SOMA area. While it can be a bit noisy — at least there’s music to muffle the roar of the freeway above. I like that they rotate trucks and have a website with menus.

I’ve been working in the building next door this summer and this place has been great. My favorites are MoBowl, Country Grill and the Sushi place. Even though it is always bustling at lunch time but I’ve never had problem with long lines or waiting too long for food. The only request would be a few more healthy options but this place is really great.

This is an amazing little gem in SOMA. They change up the food truck schedule every day so you never get bored of the offerings. The only truck that says there permanently is their sushi truck. The lounge is nice, although it gets busy at peak hours. I recommend going at 11:30 to avoid the lunch rush. I end up going here most days for lunch, and I’m glad it’s here.

If you work in SOMA, you’ve probably already heard of G Food Truck Lounge. But here are some reasons you should actually eat there:
— Despite eating here three days a week, I haven’t yet broke the bank
— Their website is well maintained, so you ~actually~ know your options
— Said options are diverse and regularly switched up
— If you hate everything, the Ramen truck is there every day (if you also hate noodles, you have bigger problems)
— Single women look no further – bonus points if you bring a cute dog
The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is that it can be really loud. Being short requires you to use your stage voice to order from truck windows.

They took an area of land under the freeway, covered it with turf, set up a (heated!) seating area, and invited a bunch of food trucks.
It’s a good idea, but I don’t think it works out too well in practice. With cars roaring past on the overpass above you and the ramp adjacent to the lot, G Food Truck Lounge is really loud. Also, all the dust from the freeway can’t be healthy.
Regardless, the local office workers seem to like it. It’s crowded at lunch and the lines wind all over the place.

Great food truck stop and it’s perfect for weekday lunches if you’re in the area :)
I love how their website is updated weekly so you can get a list of all the trucks that will be there day by day. It changes everyday so you don’t get bored and there are so many choices!
It’s more of a grab and go place for me because as nice as it looks to sit down and eat, it’s just too darn loud. They actually do provide a nice area for you to lounge around in but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re underneath an underpass and they blast music to overcome the noise from the car… so it’s annoyingly loud. It can also get really cold because it’s always shady and windy over there.
Highly recommend stopping by if you’re looking to spice up your lunch with something new :)

Good news? Finally a food truck option for SOMA folks. Bad news? It doesn’t seem up to par as what FiDi gets! The lineup seems okay, some that I’ve and hopefully other foodies have tried/​heard of, but no like Señor Sisig, Koja, Sanguchon Truck, etc. Some of the trucks are pricier too, not sure if it’s just their price, or is it a little more like everything just located in SOMA is?
They have well known trucks that the majority of SF foodies have heard of, such as Bacon Bacon & Chairman Bao. They also have the sushi truck too and a ramen truck which is pretty cool; I mean not everyone wants sandwiches and burritos for lunch. I also like the lounge seating here, but, let’s face it, most of us just grab and go. I got a pulled pork burrito here from Bacon Bacon which was quite tasty.
G Food Truck also posts their schedule online and most of the vendors have their menu posted which you can order from as well. Lines don’t get as long here as Truck Stop in Fidi or any of the other food trucks there I’ve seen. 3.5 rounded up for convenience, selection, and having a lot more trucks available for a lunch selection.

What a brilliant idea!
Food truck circle under the freeway. Opens at 11. It wasn’t too busy when I went. I got small bites from a few different trucks. Food trucks are priced like restaurants for lunch. $ 15 or so for a meal and a drink. I came by myself and felt safe. They play fun music and have a place to eat and sit which was nice. I would deff return. So fun!

I love the trucks here, but the experience is getting worse.
They have a serious issue with ventilation of the exhaust coming from trucks and generators. People are always complaining about becoming lightheaded, or getting a headache while waiting for food. It smells like gas and exhaust, and because you sometimes have to wait for a half hour or more in line, you’re breathing it the whole time.

Nice selection of food trucks.

Just a noisy place under the freeway to get food nothing special would be a better place if the owner wasn’t so rude always screaming and mad needs to learn how to be more professional o yea and the guys thwy have parking people don’t even know how to park the trucks I rather go to soma then eat here

So this is a little area under the freeway bridge where, most days of the week, a bunch of food trucks gather for patrons to choose from various cuisines. There are a few chairs & tables on top of the astroturf. It’s under a bridge, so you’re (mostly) protected from the elements! It does tend to get a bit windy and/​or chilly under the bridges, though, so keep that in mind.
There are porta-​potties and an ATM available.
One Saturday afternoon, right before a Giants vs. Dodgers game, they had a pop up beer garden. While there wasn’t any food, there were three California microbrews on tap ($ 6 for a plastic cup) and a bunch of bottled CA beers. Nice atmosphere. A nice escape from the usual crowded bar where tons of Giants-​garbed fans are clamoring quite loudly to watch «the game.» There were even some kids there playing ladder golf and hacky sack cornhole.
A nice little getaway, but the experience is highly dependent on who’s peddling that day.

La Marais Bakery Coffee shop.
Cons: SightGlass Americano $ 3.00; not hot; sour tasting under-​roasted. Noisy because you are under a freeway.
Pros: People are friendly.
But seriously guys; an Americano does not cost $ 3.00. It just doesn’t. And it should n’t.
All I have to do is walk another half-​block to Small or Café Centro to prove that.

I am so grateful for this place! Our office recently moved from 4^th and Market to 3^rd and Folsom and there are not as many food options. We also lost being close to Off the Grid on Wednesdays and Fridays. But this is close and is Off the Grid every day! I love that the trucks rotate daily so I can diversify what I’m going to have for lunch. I haven’t actually sat there yet to eat lunch since I normally just grab what I’m going there for and then head back to the office. Can get a bit crazy around noon but some truck lines move really quickly.

The idea is good, and has potential to be every bit as good as Soma SP — but they’re not quite there. Layout makes it hard to walk around the venue due to small crowds congregating in odd herds to read the menus, and seems like it would be easy for them to run out of seats though this did not happen on my visit. Also the selection of trucks is quite a bit smaller than in SSP. Looking forward to coming back and seeing GFL grow into their potential.
PS got a comment from the proprietor — which is always appreciated. My initial review was worded more severely than even i intended. Its a great sign when the owners or management take time to read reviews and almost in and of itself a good indicator of where any business is headed. Thanks Manish P. as stated above — will definitely return and provide an update.

Croquet with hedgehogs and pink flamingos — if that’s your game, stop on by. But also time travel back to Full Moon Thai Bistro (photog
). There must be something about green /​white /​red /​Italy /​Mexico /​almost Ireland #irishish that widely appeals to people’s subconscious.
I’m not saying there are deliberate style connections, just points of note.
Like the stools:
Full Moon
G Food
Not to mention the astroturf.
The owner (?) was telling me about plans for improvement, including dinner service, heat lamps (which Full Moon already had), and at least one video screen. He should’ve just put a Korean on the planning team — this place would’ve had heat dishes, TVs, KPop videos, *and* pitcher bottles of Hite from day one. And wouldn’t you know… the blank truck in the corner currently displays a sign, «beer & wine coming soon».
Korean consultant — juuuuuust sayin’.

Hours: M-​F lunch time (11am-​3pm) is best,
(other times not reliable)
4 – 5 trucks
Don’t bother coming here for breakfast, because they don’t honor their posted hours or listed vendor schedule. No apologies or explanation, they simply delete the scheduled trucks, as if it was never posted. For me, that leaves a bad first impression.
Last Saturday or Friday, the website was updated to indicate that it’s only open M-​F lunch and dinner. Facebook was updated a couple of days later. I say forget dinner too. So far, few trucks are willing to stay for dinner at this unproven spot. Lunch time is the only safe bet.
And for now, it’s NOT open on Saturdays.
These organizers are clearly novices. Instead of promising long hours they can’t keep, it’s better to start with short hours and expand when they can deliver.
In my opinion, weekday bfast and dinners (except Friday nights) are bad ideas, because trucks won’t have enough customers. It’s usually too cold at night.
These rookies haven’t done much research. Competitors like OTG are better organized, and SoMa StrEat Food Park has heat lamps.
I like the concept, it has potential. Booze will be added when they get an ABC license. They also plan to offer food delivery in the future. Don’t know about any delivery fees yet.
I don’t give venues any credit for the food, because they didn’t cook it. So my food truck reviews are posted separately.
The small umbrella tables are gimmicky because the freeway underpass already has protection from rain/​sun. Not much table space for big food spenders. Supposedly there’s space for 100, but I only saw space for 40 – 60 max.
The ground is made of gravel, with patches of fake green lawn, so if u wear heels watch your step.
2 porta potties in the back right corner.
There’s a Facebook coupon for 10% off and a complimentary drink offer that ends today ¹⁄₃₁.

Love the concept — taking what would otherwise be an undesirable stretch of land under a freeway overpass and transforming the space into a super cute and warm (as in inviting, not literally, since I’m sure being under a freeway overpass, especially in San Francisco, can get nippy) place to enjoy a good meal. What better way to enjoy food truck troves? A friendly gentleman sharply dressed in a suit (perhaps the manager?) let us know that G Food Lounge will be open weekdays and Saturdays for lunch and certain days for breakfast and dinner and that the trucks (typically 4 — 5 at any given time) will rotate weekly. Now if only G Food Lounge would go around cleaning up other city parts. hopefully it’s all just a matter at a time.

What was once a hardscrabble plot of unwelcome land underneath Highway 280 has now been transformed into a patch of potted topiaries and Astro Turf, leading breakfast, lunch and dinner diners to an array of food offerings, including, on this grand opening lunch day — sushi, sliders, sausages and grilled cheese sandwiches — all four «S» food groups were well represented. Drinks were on the house, courtesy of Hubert’s Lemonade to help with the first day celebrations.
A nice respite from Second street’s Sandwich Corridor, the G Food Lounge will offer daily rotating food trucks and includes two tented lounge areas, low and high seating and illuminated seating areas. The intense overhead barbed wire was a little unsettling, perhaps if plastic vines can be woven into it as a decorative element, it will liven the fortress like entrance. I understand the need for security, as this patch was once a frequent haunt of those seeking shelter from the elements for their shopping carts.
Tip: Leave your pumps at home, as one customer nearly lost it when navigating the rock landscaping.
