Red Square BBQ

I waited 30 minutes outside In the rain for my food. For a food truck that is slow to say the least.
As for the food… it was cold and the worst BBQ I’ve ever had (I’m from the south, I know my BBQ). Needless to say, I won’t be back.

Ordered the brisket and it was 90 percent gristle. I know brisket is fatty, but this was extreme and hardly edible. Won’t be coming back

I had a good vegetarian sandwich here. I appreciate what the UW is doing by fostering a food truck scene in the square. I’ll definitely be back!

The lines are always so long, luckily, got there early and had time to chit chat with the workers too. They were really friendly and persuaded me to buy one of their burger. As a burger/​mustard hater, their mustard that does not taste like mustard was so good, it made the burger really good!

Despite the fact that it is a food truck, it provides one of the most delicious foods on campus, way better than pseudo-​food at the HUB.
I personally recommend the pulled pork sandwich with either House BBQ sauce or Carolina Mustard Sauce. It’s perfect, fresh bread, delicious pork and fresh vegetables. The price is very cheap too!
However, they do not accept cash, either credit/​debit cards or Husky card. The opening hours are a bit too short and do not match my daily college schedule. If I recall correctly, they are opened from 10am to 2pm, which is not very convenient.
Nevertheless, of the three food trucks on Red Square, this is possibly the best one. Way better than Hot Dawgs’ old sausages. Even though, I have not tried Motorsurf yet, but it probably just pseudo-​Asian and Hawaiian food.
If I get chance to eat here again, I will definitely go for the usual-​pulled pork sandwich but I might try their sides such as BBQ beans, ranch potato salad or mac & cheese. Add a sides and a drink to the two and form a combo for $ 2 more!

the sole reason why I gained 10 pounds… ridiculously good and addictive, so be careful

One of the most amazing options for dining the University has decided to add. They’re usually a tad busy around when classes get out but if you can catch them in-​between they’re reasonably speedy and offer great service. The food is great quality and the service has always been amiable. Definitely try it if you’re a student.

The fried chicken is quite good and the portion is quite generous. The mac and cheese was a little spicy for my tastes, i think they might have used mustard in it. All together too heavy for between classes, but if youve got some time to kill, go for it.

Great service with a smile. Limited selection, but quite tasty. I had a pulled pork BBQ sandwich with a very nice Carolina mustard sauce. It was a complete mess but nothing a bunch of napkins couldn’t fix. Overall a great experience from this campus cart-​stand.

This truck is one of the new food options opened because of the HUB closure. Well, it’s not really a truck. For now, it’s in a temporary trailer thing, along with a taco not-​truck called Siganos. But apparently they’re getting a truck, joining Hot Dawgs and the soon-​to-​be-​opened Motosurf (Hawaiian plates).
So, a University-​run BBQ place. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Microwaved meat covered in oversweetened pseudo-​Kansas-​style sauce, anyone?
Surprisingly, Red Brick is actually pretty decent. The menu is simple — pulled pork, sliced brisket, pulled chicken (all $ 6.95 for sandwiches or $ 2.50 for sliders) and hot link sandwiches ($ 4.95). A couple of sides — baked beans, slaw, potato salad.
On my first visit, I went with the brisket and baked beans. The meat came piled on a kaiser roll. Smaller portion than you’d have gotten for a similar price at an actual BBQ place, but reasonable value for money on a college campus. The meat was juicy and tender, good flavor. No smoke rings, if you care about that sort of thing. I got the spicy sauce; seemed to be tomato-​and-​vinegar based. The beans were a little unusual — soupy, strongly onion-​flavored, moderately sweet. I liked them.
On my second visit, I got the pork, with slaw on the sandwich. Not as well-​put-​together as the brisket. The flavor was non-​specific, and the meat had several squishy fatty bits.
On the whole, nothing mind boggling. But this is better BBQ than I’d have expected on a college campus. Given that the nearest BBQ place I know of is RoRo in Wallingford, this is a very welcome addition to the U District.
Oh, for now, they are card only. They’ll probably start taking cash once the truck arrives.
