Cracked the Egg Came First

I’ve been back to Cracked several times since the start of the semester. It’s typically our go-​to spot after the bars and I’ve managed to try almost everything.
I really liked the hungry chief wrap and the sloppy jose. Very hearty and filling sandwiches perfect after a night of drinking.
I thought the plan B wrap was meh, not as tasty as the other items in my opinion.
Typically speedy service with nice people working the trucks even at 2am with many a drunk customer.
My only qualms is that Cracked can get expensive. Some of the sandwiches are $ 6 – 7 alone, and if you decide to get any tots or a drink, things can amount to $ 10 quickly.

I see the Cracked truck everyday so one day I decided to «treat myself» by getting a vegasm sandwich with a side of parmesan truffle tots for lunch. Although I enjoyed it, I would not say that the food is out of this world but it is full of flavor and not at all what one would expect from a food truck. The grease level can be up there, and so can the price for such a small portion, but it is worth an occasional visit.

Finally got around to trying this much-​hyped-​about food truck after passing it almost everyday on Springfield and Matthews. I had the sloppy jose without cheese and it was pretty tasty, but I would recommend adding cheese because I think it was missing it. I do wish there was a little more guacamole on the sandwich, but otherwise it was quite good. I definitely plan to stop by again and try their other sandwiches and tots.

Early morning farmer’s market or late night bite after the bar, Cracked sandwiches are great anytime of the day! All the sandwiches are super tasty, but my favorites are the Goy Vey and the Vegasm with spicy chipotle.
The regular tots are great, but I would pass on the sweet potato tots.
Every time I see the Cracked Truck, I can’t help but crack a smile.

Hands down, the BEST food truck in town. I love that they source a lot of local ingredients. I’m trying to think of my favorite thing but I’ve come to the conclusion that everything is good here! The long lines at the Farmer’s Market are evidence of this. Check their website for their weekly schedule!

Egg-​cellent! Sorry for the cheese. I had too.
Tried this place because it was parked down the street from Courier Café on Sunday and we didn’t want to wait an hour for breakfast. I had the Vegasm with spicy chipotle pesto. It was delicious! Fresh ingredients, well prepared, friendly staff.
My very picky boyfriend had the hotdog with scrambled egg (can’t recall the name), he enjoyed it.
Definitely will try again.

I’m flippin OBSESSED with Cracked! The three sandwiches I’ve had so far are the Vegasm, Sloppy Jose, and Goy Vey and I can’t decide which is my favorite! Their tater tots are also out of this world. They put regular tater tots to shame. Prices are decent and service is quick. The food is fresh and oh so flavorful! You can find the truck parked in downtown Champaign on the weekends. My ritual after leaving the bars is to always get Cracked. Seriously, I can’t walk by it and not get something. Oh, also they deliver!

Ate off of their truck Saturday at the ACES Library. Wow, the sandwiches were terrific and the guys were very nice. We tried a couple of the sandwiches and both were great. Find these guys and give their food a try you won’t be disappointed.

These guys are amazing. Their toys are really interesting and delicious. Worth a special trip to try their food. Real quality stuff.

I really like the food here, but they need a different system for calling completed orders. On two separate occasions in a row they had finished my sandwich but someone either jumped the line because they had ordered the same thing and picked up the sandwich, or they somehow lost my order. It is a food truck… how is it lost? Why not replace the current system with order numbers? This is extremely simple to implement and then there is no confusion about whether your order is up or not.

I ordered a hungry chief and liked it. People were friendly and price is in the cheap side. Miami people here recommend morning bend and I sure want to try it out next time.

Woke up early on a Saturday morning just to try the truck with my roomie at the Farmer’s Market. Let’s just say the Vegasm is just that. Those sun-​dried tomatoes, pesto… all of it was enough to make a girl swoon and then some. The line looked super intimidating, but I’d say we had our food in around 5 minutes. Prompt, piping hot and delicious. Did I mention they take card?
My only complaint is that they cater mostly to the Engineering Quad. I see the truck parked at Wright and Green like clock work, but it’s mostly by this remote street way into computer science land. Not terrible, but why can’t you give the humanities some love? Or the South Quad? Just a suggestion.

The food was good, although I can only speak on behalf of the food I tried: the Vegism (I forget the name) sandwich and the sweet potato tots.
The sandwich was definitely nice and light, not heavily seasoned, borderline under-​seasoned in a good way.
The sweet potato tots were good but after I had a third of them, I had gotten to a point where it began to taste too good, (although just the natural sweet potato-​y sweet) the sweetness was getting monotonous and my tastebuds were exhausted from the flavor [they were still tasty, it just may be that I’m not as big as a sweet potato fan as I think].
For a breakfast food truck, I say keep up the good work! Tasty breakfast food, that isn’t bogged down with grease and fat. I say: A great way to start out your day.

For the past few months, I’ve come to the conclusion that Champaign-​Urbana has some sort of obsession with hockey-​puck like bread. It’s hard, dense and a chalkenge to eat. Cracked serves these buns… The Butcher Shop serves these buns, Prairie Fruits creamery serves these buns during their pop-​up dinners. ENOUGH! I want a soft squishy bun that compliments the contents of your sandwich. i want the bun to slop up the juiciness of the meat, cheese or egg… or whatever condiment you put on it. m The bread is not supposed to be a challenge to eat… The hardness/​thickness/​denseness allows the ‘in-​between stuff’ to start tectonic shift/​slide between the union of bread and meat… trust me, if i’m not the only one in the restaurant, there are a lot of other people (adults AND kids) who just eat the filling and leave the bun for garbage. YOU NEED a soft squishy bun!!! (Like Black Dog!!) Stop with the stale hockey puck like bread! Just because you source from local places doesn’t mean it’s good. You have a good thing going Cracked… But get a soft squishy bun! Please and Thank you.

FINALLY! I have driven past the truck lots of times, I finally got some Cracked this weekend at a festival in downtown Urbana.
The burrito I got was AMAZING! I forgot what it was called, but holy cow, it was great. Also split some tots with my friends. They were crisp, delicious and had truffle oil and parmesan!
Friendly workers, good food, quick service… do yourself a favor and try it out!

I had this late night after drinking at the U of I. Don’t know how much that factored in for my love of the food but wow was that awesome. Really tasty tots.

The iconic yellow food truck that I always pass by on the way to Siebel. A great place to grab a quick bite to eat between classes. Food takes just a few minutes to get ready, and is absolutely delicious. The Morning Bender and Hungry Chief are great. I wanna try the whole menu!

Really amazing food. Great breakfast sandwiches prepared well and creative mixes of ingredients. Unique food you won’t find anywhere else and at a price that’ll ensure you keep coming back.
I’d been looking to try Cracked for a long time and was thrilled to finally get the chance the other week. Looking forward to trying Cracked again next time I’m in Champaign.

Man this truck is amazing! it’s all pretty much breakfast based sandwiches. I got a sloppy joe, chorizo patty, hash browns with egg, avocado, and some special onions. It was delicious. Definitely recommend.
It’s a new food truck on campus. Find it and try it out for yourselves. They serve breakfast all day pretty much. Run by recent grads of U of I.
