Bacon MANia Truck

Got the mac ‘n cheese and loved it! So cheesy and good. A bunch of us shared an order while we waited in line for other food. Everyone wanted the last bite!
Service was friendly and quick. They take credit card.

Hit this place up at Off the Grid in San Fran and could not be more disappointed. After scoping out all the locations I decided this would be one of my stops. Big mistake. Service is terrible. I ordered the Mac’n Bac’n because it sounded delicious. And it might have been… if I didn’t wait 15 minutes more it, ask them where it was, have them tell me I didn’t order it, have the guy who took my order yell «oh shit», find my ticket, NOT APOLOGIZE, and then hand me some luke warm Mac’n Bac’n.
Great customer service! Simply excellent.
Don’t waste your time or your money like I did.

I was very disappointed with the fries last night at the Off the Grid. Not because I didn’t get enough flavor or not enough bacon but because the fries that ended up in my box was stale! Really really stale. There was no line, I was the only customer at the time so I would assume you have all time in the world to get your order right. After eating a few bites, I ended up throwing it away. So disappointing given I spent $ 11(!!!) on this. Not going back since I would rather support food trucks that don’t try to cut corners.

Well, you can never have too much bacon. These guys are serious! Bacon Mania is one of the new vendors for the 2016 season at Off The Grid Fort Mason, basically filling the void left by the Bacon Bacon Truck. What I like about Bacon Mania is how their food is completely different from what Bacon Bacon had to offer, so there really shouldn’t be any comparison with the two trucks. In my honest opinion though, I like Bacon Mania a whole lot better!
First thing that you should know is that the majority of the menu includes their award-​winning Mac n’ Bacon either as a topping, a stuffing, a side, or a standalone dish. It’s baked with Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Hickory Smoked Bacon, had has a little spicy kick to it as well.
With that being said, let’s talk about their Mac ‘n Bacon Fries.
Mac n’ Bacon Fries –

Oh man! I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I ordered this. Just look at the pic and see that this is the motherload of all things with fries, cheese, and bacon. It’s a humongous portion! Basically, if you’re going to Off The Grid alone, this is your one-​and-​done dish for the night. And oh yeah, this was delicious!!! A great way to celebrate FryDays.
Because with my first visit being a carb overload, it had me going back again the very next week because I had to try their Jack Back Sammie which is an inside out grilled cheese sandwich. So basically, they take the whole sandwich and press it on the grill while at the same time grilling a huge amount of cheese on the grill to create a cheese ‘wrap’ which is then used to wrap around the sandwich. Whoa! I decided to go big and have the American Jack Back which is stuffed with a beef and bacon burger patty inside.

Yeah, I’ve had some really dangerously delicious burgers in my time, and this one ranks up there with the best of them. The burger itself was juicy and had a good smoked flavor from the bits of bacon in the patty, almost like the burger from RickyBobby. But the real star of this sandwich was the cheese ‘wrap’. Every bite was heavenly because the whole sandwich was covered in the melted grilled cheese. This is a huge sandwich too and should be shared if you’re at Off The Grid. But if you’re a hungry dude like me, go for it all!
Avocado Sliders (OTG Fort Mason Exclusive) –

I thought this one was a bit of a disappointment. It was pretty much just their Mac ‘n Bacon with avocado and slaw. Not to say that that’s a bad thing, because their Mac n’ Bacon is awesome already, but I guess I tried it expecting something creative and different but ended up having something I’ve tried before but with avocado added. Oh well, it was still good nonetheless. Like I said earlier, you can never have too much bacon.
Aside from the Avocado Sliders, everything I’ve had from Bacon Mania is awesome and worth trying at least once if you’re at Off The Grid Fort Mason. Their food is pretty outrageous with the bacon and they don’t hold back with the portion size. If you only have to order one thing from this truck, I definitely recommend getting their Mac n’ Bacon as a standalone since that’s really their signature item, but if you’re want to be a little more bold, the Mac n’ Bacon Fries is the way to go.
Mmm…BACON!!!

Did not get a chance to try their food. Before we drove an hour away due to bay area traffic I checked the Onthego app and Bacon Mania’s twitter/​Facebook to make sure they where going to be open. When we got to the onthego location they couldn’t be found. Guess that the truck had some problems so they didn’t make it, but at the very least update your social media so this doesn’t happen to any other potential customers.

Bacon Mania came to my work this week as our weekly food truck, and it was so delicious! I only tried the bacon mac & cheese and the sauce on top was so yummy. The other items seemed too filling or greasy to try by myself, but will definitely be back to try other items that I can share with someone.

We went to the food truck gathering at Hutchins Street Square in Lodi CA. The guy that took our order was very nice. I ordered the special for $ 13 and was really excited. My husband got the piggy fries, the pork was very dry and tough. My Mac and cheese sandwich had no bacon. NONE! I LOOKED! We were very disappointed. We love bacon and got none.

Bacon Mania has been on my «bucket list» for a couple years. I remember going to the very first Sactomofo and discovering that their truck broke down and they weren’t coming, I was crushed. But have no fear, just four short years later, I finally managed to get to their truck. (I know, I’m not on the ball.)
We got to the Sactomofo West Elk Grove event around 5:40pm and there were not a lot of people there yet which was AMAZING. I think I stood in line for less than 10 mins and then waited less than 5 mins for my sandwich/​burger. The guys were really nice. I didn’t feel rushed to «get through the line» but I felt that they were really efficient, a good balance.
I ordered a Famous Jack Back Sammie and the guy taking my order recommended getting the one with the burger patty. I figured since I was splitting it with my hubby, why not? Oh my gosh, it was SO good! I LOVED the crispy cheese on the outside! The burger patty was SO delicious! And I was really impressed that even with all the cheese and bacon, they managed to control the saltiness. I’ve had a certain burger with tons of cheese grilled on to it from another place and it was VERY salty to me. I had concerns about this sandwich from Bacon Mania but I didn’t find it to be too salty at all.
The only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the price. While the sandwich was large, $ 14 still felt like a lot for just a sandwich/​burger and no drink or side. However, that won’t stop me from coming back. I’m excited to try the Mac and Bacon next time.

My first time getting their mac n bacon fries asked for pulled pork on top & it was soo good. Another time I went with my cousin I told her about it & she ordered it & she said it was good too. I order the Mac Sammie with pulled pork, It is a grilled cheese on the inside & outside with mac n cheese & ask for pulled pork in it too soo fattening & good!

Love the sammie pork sandwich. If you like cheese and bacon, you will love their sandwich. Best to be eaten when it is still hot.

the burgers are good but with the Mac n cheese and cheese fries the cheese wasn’t melted at all. What’s even the point? We spend $ 8+ on this food just to have grated cheese on fries. Not too great.

The best food on or off four wheels love everything I have tried the crew is so friendly we enjoy visiting while dinner is be prepared

I came for the bacon wrapped brownies. I did not get that. The pictures on here looked so good… wrapped in bacon. mine were just plain… too bad

We hired them for an event and even though they got lost they still arrived early. Menu items are hard to choose from because everything looks interesting. Everything turned out great and all our guests were satisfied. Food was worth the money.

If you love a huge dose of greasy, salty goodness, then you will love this truck.
After hearing how this truck infuses bacon with everything on the menu, I got a couple recommended items from the friendly staff.
Mac N’ Bacon: Huge portion of greasy goodness! The chipotle mayo sauce that was garnished on top was a nice touch and helped balance the greasy flavor. Even though the Mac was awesome, there was no way I could finish it. I got worn out after eating half of it, but I’m definitely going to enjoy eating the rest tomorrow!
Famous Jack Back Sammie: Another huge portion of oily goodness! However, after a few bites, my body couldn’t handle any more grease. It reminded me of those deep fried items at the state fair. I found it to be way too salty and greasy for me. I think I’m getting too old to devour this type of food :(
Overall, it was an awesome experience. I just need to portion out what I’m going to eat at this truck. I’m definitely coming back to get that Mac though!

Right on Bacon Mania, Right Friggin On! They totally got it right here. And im glad to finally see this place at OTG Concord after hearing rave reviews and seeing it appear on various food network tv shows and such. Let me get this review rolling by saying… Who has a Bacon Tooth?
Kinda like a sweet tooth, to some eating bacon is smililar. The crispy, greasy, hammy goodness makes most things just taste. better, and here at Bacon MANia they just continue to prove this fact. There is just something special about people dedicated to satisfying peoples «bacon tooth» and boy is mine big. Im just happy I didn’t have to go all the way to Sacramento to see them. Their menu ranges from Bacon Mac & Cheese to Specialty Sandwiches where of course Bacon is the «STAR» here… man I’m still excited as I type this review and eat. And the Bacon covered french fries in which I’m eating now… faint. okay revive. Let’s talk about pricing and service a bit.
The prices are pretty fair. Ranging from about 5 bucks to about 15 bucks. Some may think that sound expensive but keep in mind, this is a food truck restaurant on wheels, take in gas, supplies, and the food they’re preparing which I’m sure uses propane. I don’t mind paying the prices. But the food has to be amazing… and amazing it is here. The service was decent, the girl at the counter seen me taking my pics and asked if I was a Unilocaler… and then proceeded to ignore me when I walked up to order and took the customer behind me order… WTH. you just asked me if I’m a Unilocaler. did you think I wasn’t hoing to mention this in the review? For Shame! But, I forgive her just this once… because the food totally makes up for it.
On this visit I had the «ChiCheese Fries» basically chilli cheese fries with of course Bacon made into the chilli, cheese, grilled onions and tomatoes and of course…“MORE BACON!” nom nom nom nom nom. And some type of beef in here too. They were 11bucks plus two for the soda, so 13 bucks in total. Now I’m full and I still have a try of food, these meal weighs in at about 10 — 11oz btw… WOW! Insane yo!
In conclusion, you don’t have to just see them on TV anymore, come and live the madness that is OTG and Bacon MANia, and try the food for yourself. If you’re a lover of bacon you can’t go wrong with them. As always Unilocal your experience, tell the masses how you feel and how full or not full you are.
I’m Tre S, and I fully approve this Unilocal Message! Or Review!

I have literally been waiting years to try Bacon Mania! But never got a chance, until today!
I ordered the All American Sammy and the Piggy back fries! I guess when I see the name BACON Mania I just expect tons of bacon ! Not at all, just a little garnish. :(
Any ways, the All American Sammy was yummy! I loved the crispy cheese on the outside and the burger patty was awesome! I didn’t even know there was bacon bits inside until I looked –_​_​_​– but that’s fine.
The fries were okay… I just wished there was a little more bacon. Unfortunately there was so much liquid from the pulled pork that I had to tilt to eat it and my fries were soggy… Wasn’t a big fan.
Maybe I’ll give something else a try next time.

This is insanity. Pure insanity. I can’t wait for this truck to make its rounds again so that I can try the Grilled Cheese with the cheesiness grilled on both the inside and the outside. Say whaaaaat???
My coworker and I were looking to split something delish from the Capitol Farmer’s Market (every Thursday on Capitol Mall amid swarms of hungry state workers), and this Bacon Art Wrapped Truck caught our eye. I ordered the Bacon burger with Bacon Mac. Yes that is bacon mac n’ cheese tucked inside a perfectly prepared and marinated burger, with tomato, lettuce, and onion to boot. Add a side of fries and VOILA! Instant heart attack. Had to be shareable because I am no longer allowed to eat like I used to due to, ya know, health and stuff.
I do not understand how a person, let alone two people, would be expected to fit this burger into their mouth (s). It comes on texas toast style bread, which I didn’t care for with a burger, personally. It was absolutely perfect other than that. The burger was crisp on the outside, medium and juicy on the inside, and flavorful all around. The mac is insane in the membrane.
It’s pricey, and the bread is a weird choice, but it’s deliciousness to the extreme. I can’t wait to try the mac or the all over grilled cheese. Y U M !

I ordered mac fries and when I got the order it was huge.
But as soon as my 2^nd bite came around I realized it was 95% mac n cheese and fries. The bacon was very minimal. For $ 10 I wish they’d cut back on the fries and mac n cheese and put more bacon in it.
I’ll try something else but I won’t be ordering the mac fries again. I was sadly disappointed probably cause I was expecting a lot more meat to be on the fries.

De-​LISH-​ISS-​NESS, Now With Bacon!
SITREP
My buddy PeterPaul was in from out of town for the week doing a training, and he was jone’sin to hit Track 7 Brewery.
On a related note, for months I’d been trying to sync my schedule up to catch the BaconMANia Truck at CalPERS during lunchtime, or some other random MoFo convocation, but I’ve always missed it…
THE SETUP
…but well, as it turns out, The BaconMANia Food Truck serves as the «de facto» food vendor for Track 7, and so there could not be a more perfect… uh…*pairing*, if you will, of BREWS & FOOD! *Double-​WIN!*
LE MENU
* Mac Fries! All I needed to see was this *carb*-overload, and I knew I was hooked. This baby came with a huge pile of Crispy Shoestring Fries Topped With Honemade Mac n’ Bacon & Homemade Chipayo Sauce. Oh Hell-​To-​The-​YUM!
and,
* The Big Pig! PeterPaul hunkered down for a Sammie of Slow-​Cooked Pork mixed with Hickory Smoked Bacon and Chipaya Sauce
They both were mega-​hell-​to-​the-​YUM-​YUM! (And both items were each a bit under $ 10).
PRICE-​POINTING
Even though I often question the cost of many food trucks pricing, this truck totally provides you the value for your money. And the fact that it often «pairs up» with a brewery — in this instance it was a Track 7 — that makes it more of valued-​stop than just being in the middle of some government building parking lot.
THE LOWDOWN
If you ever get a chance to catch the BaconMANia Truck, you will be in for all sorts of bacon-​mac-​carbo delights! :D
