Curveball Slider Truck

We hired Curveball for a backyard party at our house last Sunday. From start to finish, it was a great experience. We had about 100 people – 60 adults and 40 kids. We had three slider options: curveball, screwball, and the falafel. People could also get fries. I am a vegetarian so I had the falafel and it as EXCELLENT and fries were very tasty. Smartly, they also had a kids’ option which was one hamburger slider (with or without cheese) + fries. It was perfect for kids. I worked with Daniel prior to the event and he was extremely response. Everything went as planned and our guests all commented on the great food. I would definitely use them again!

I decided to try this food truck when it stopped by in our office lot. Curveball basically has a couple of beef, chicken or falafel based sliders each having some fancy name. I decided to get the Fastball ($ 8.50) which is a beef based slider with grilled onions and ketchup and added on cheese for $ 1. Service was quick and I had my order in under 5 minutes.
The sliders were terrific. They came on a soft bun which I generally don’t prefer but it worked very well for the slider. Almost perfectly made. My only complain was that this was more like a snack rather than a full meal and I had to get a slice of pizza even after eating both the sliders to fill me up. My advise would be to add a side of regular ($ 3) or garlic fries ($ 5) when ordering off this truck to make this a complete meal, which would make it a little pricey but completely worth it.
I liked what I ate so I guess I’ll try something else off the menu to change things up but wont be jumping in headlong the next time this truck is around.

Good Food. Tried this truck for the 1^st time today and i was pleasantly surprised. Most Slider Food Trucks are a BIG disappointment, selling food that i would not feel good giving to my dog. Curveball Sliders blows all them out of the water. Lots of Flavor and a nice size. ⁴⁄₅ cause not a lot of options on the menu. Highly recommend.

Paying $ 9 for two small sliders seems excessive. I just got the plain sliders, the «Fastball“without cheese because if I wanted cheese it would be another $ 1.
I mean isn’t $ 9 enough to include a slice of cheese without paying extra?
Food trucks nowadays know how to price gauge. Seriously.
The sliders were okay. I’m seriously not a fan of well done sliders, I would really like it if they would ask your preference or just do a medium rare.
Well done burgers just takes all the flavors away, and the tenderness of the meat away so that it takes like an overly cooked meatloaf.
I really couldn’t tell that it was a special meat blend. It tasted like an upscale microwaved patty with slightly better meat and soggy buns.
LOL, I just said soggy buns…

Good food but clearly unable to handle the sales at the soccer game. Missed the first half waiting for my order. Good thing I won the tickets. Overall they need to be able to handle the sales were they are

Like a fancy White Castle, but in truck form. Looks small, but can be really filling (if you get something super rich like the Curveball). I actually prefer 3 different versions of sliders instead of committing to one kind of full-​sized burger.
Curveball: This was so rich and decadent. Soft pork belly on top of a juicy burger loaded with cheese. The pork belly was almost as big as the patty. Wasn’t that crispy though, but that’s ok, because the silky fatty goodness was sublime.
Screwball: This would make a killer full-​sized sandwich; I dunno why more restaurants haven’t caught on? Crispy chicken breast, lots of buffalo hot sauce, a really nice celery & carrot slaw and some bleu cheese dressing. The celery & carrot slaw was probably the secret to make it really feel like the full wing experience.
Fastball: This kinda tasted like meatloaf on a bun. Lots of soft brown onions and tons of ketchup (no cheese by default). Was mediocre compared to the other two sliders.
Salt & Pepper Fries: Thin and crispy, kinda like Mickey D’s. Generous portion when paired with some small sliders. The «Salt & Pepper» flavoring didn’t do much to me; kinda tasted like regular ol’ fries.

They cook their stuff in oil thats but allergy friendly and everything is delicious! Friendly staff and convenient that they visit sfsu

Came here during an Off the grid. The food truck I normally go to ran out of food and recommend the Thai Cobb.
The best recommendation ever!
Thai Cobb is phenomenal! It’s like Thai larb in patty form (and I can make a mean Thai larb). It is jam packed with Thai flavors with the perfect amount of spice.
Will definitely come again!

When I think of sliders, I think of small mini burgers that will leave me content. BOY was I wrong with this one!
My coworker and I decided to order our own instead of sharing since we weren’t sure how the portion was going to be. I ordered the popular «curveball» sliders which had beef AND pork belly topped with onions, cheese, and all that other good stuff. What order isn’t complete without a side of fries right? Which I ordered the salt and pepper fries.
Once I placed my order, the worker gave everyone free water bottles! Now that was the icing on the cake, thank you for saving me money!
The slider is VERY filling, and I was extremely full after just one. The fries are also good too, since they were the thin kind. Definitely put me in a food coma after all that.

Beef+Pork belly+Salt&pepper Fries = FIVE STARS!!!
Just had lunch and I’m very satisfied with my dining choice today. Guys were polite, food was awesome (for me and my coworkers), great weather. Couldn’t ask for more…
Thanks for the tasty lunch! NOM!!!

Daniel & Justin are 2 great guys doing what they love! I hired Curve Ball Sliders Food Truck for a corporate party for Intero Real Estate, San Mateo’s «end of summer get together» with all employees & Realtors. The truck arrived about 45 minutes before our event began to prep. We had a party of 60ish & had 3 choices of sliders (curveball, screwball & fastball), regular fries, garlic fries. They served sliders for about an hour and a half. Everything that came out of the truck was absolutely delicious! All employees & Realtors were raving about how much they enjoyed the food truck food the whole week.
Daniel & Justin take your average beef burger & turn it in to a superrr flavorful, unique, gourmet burger of perfection. Not to mention the «screwball» fried chicken with buffalo sauce was on point with the perfect amount of heat just to make the flavor really stand out.
The truck was very clean & has such a catchy look! All communication with Daniel was professional & I always had a prompt response! We will definitely hire Curve Ball Sliders Food Truck back in the future!
Thank you Daniel & Justin!

I got the CurveBall Sliders today, beef burger on bottom and topped with pork belly. They were delicious, though I wish they’d come with some greens, or slaw to help out in the veggie department.
I also got an order of fries which I do not recommend. Half of the fries were laden with cooking grease, that had a rather, «been used too long» sort of flavor. An hour later I am burping up that grease. Looked to me like half the order had sat around, and got dunked back in the grease for me to heat things up. Time to change the oil, and when the fries have been sitting for a while into the compost bucket they go.
Sliders get four stars, fries get two, for an over all rating of three.

I hired Curveball for the company Bring Your Kids to Work Day event. Tiny humans have tiny hands so what else to do for lunch but sliders? And Curveball has falafel for the vegetarians? Purrfect! I chose Fastball, Scrweball, Changeup, Thai Cobb, Field of Dreams salad and garlic fries for the menu. They were able to feed about 100 employees and kids 2 sliders each with sides in about an hour. Unfortunately they ran out of falafel — that would have been my second pick. Next time, though!
For myself I got the Thai Cobb. When I finally got to sit and eat, um, hello delicious gourmet food! Dan always replied to my myriad of emails. He even looks like a baseball player, either a catcher or shortstop. You can tell Justin is classically trained because of the flavor combinations. He is a sweetie too. And I don’t know the name of the other bald gentleman but he was so patient when taking all those orders. Hire them for your next event. You can’t beat the unlimited menu. If they are available I hope to have them back for one of the company weekly lunches. Thank you guys!

Gave my brother and sister-​in-​law a baseball themed baby shower. Hired Curveball Slider Truck to come and serve the crowd. I mean, come on, it fit in with the theme perfectly… couldn’t pass it up! The guys were so nice and quick to respond. They answered all my questions and were reasonably priced. They arrived an hour before service and served for 2 hours, unlimited. Guests had the choice of The Fastball, El Torro, The Screwball, and Thai Cobb. They even made an off the menu vegtarian dish for the couple vegetarians that were there. Everyone loved the food. Burgers were cooked spot on and the chicken was juciy and tender! My personal favorite has to be The Screwball! Yummm!
Overall, very impressed with these guys and their food! The guests were fat and happy at the end and that is the best compliment for any host!

If you come across Curveball Slider Truck, stop what you are doing and order the Curveball Sliders. Juicy meat with pork belly on a delicious bun with lots of other messy fixings.
As others have said, get napkins, and be prepared to say «Oh My God.» with each bite and be that guy that tells everyone around you that «this is soo good.» because you literally will be that annoying person that fawns over every bite of slider. It’s worth it.
Wait about 2 hours then go back for seconds.

Be sure to either have a lot of napkins or wear a bib when you have these tiny bites of deliciousness!
Each order comes with 2 sliders. You can get different sliders but you will have to pay the higher price of the two. My order of one Curveball and one Screwball cost $ 11, the price for two Curveballs. Both were very good, flavor and texture wise. Their pork belly isn’t as good as Chairman’s but that’s not their specialty/​focus. The hamburger patty was juicy and flavorful, having been cooked to a medium temperature. The fried chicken was on point as well. Two sliders is plenty enough to fill you up; I can’t see eating fries with them.

Curveball sells sliders of various meats
locale: soma street park (¹⁄₁₅)
eats: screwball (9 for 2)
-«buttermilk fried chicken, homemade buffalo sauce, red onion, celery, homemade
bleu cheese dressing.»
–too much breading, crunchy
–chicken bland
–only spicy buffalo sauce tasted, cruncy onions/​celery too
–nice soft bun
3.5 stars
crumbs:
–slicers better than average but not fab.
–big chicken portion or small bun?
seems the latter is true.

I tried the Curveball Slider Truck over at Off The Grid Burlingame. The Bay Area has a very overcrowded field of Slider Trucks, so I was hoping that Curveball would have something that would stick out from the rest. Did they succeed? Well, for the most part, I think so.
Their pricing is pretty comparable to other slider trucks ranging from $ 9 – 12 for a pair of sliders. Not too bad though considering that these are pretty good sized sliders when you see the pics. I do wish they had an option to order individual sliders if you wanted to try more than one. Fortunately during this visit, I came hungry so I ordered two kinds off the menu which equaled to four sliders total. I decided on The Curveball and The Screwball.
Curveball —
Beef Patty, Braised Pork Belly, American Cheese, Grilled Onions, Chipotle Aioli, Balsamic Reduction BBQ Sauce
Screwball –
Buttermilk Brined Fried Chicken, Buffalo Sauce, Onion, Celery Slaw, Bleu Cheese Dressing
Between these two, I really enjoyed The Curveball which is their signature slider. As you can see, it was loaded! These were basically like double meat sliders since you had the beef patty and layer of pork belly. The Balsamic Reduction BBQ sauce added a nice sweet and smokey flavor to them. Overall, very good and very satisfying! If you’re going to visit the Curveball truck, this is the slider to get! Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the Screwball. The Fried Chicken was actually pretty good, but I wasn’t feeling all the other stuff that came with it. There were too much buffalo sauce and bleu cheese dressing that when I opened the box, the sliders were swimming in them. I think maybe if they had just a plain Fried Chicken Slider, I probably would’ve enjoyed it just like that.
I also was able to try their Crème Brulee which they added to my order for free since my order was $ 20 or more —
It was a pretty basic crème brûlée. Nothing wrong with it though, it was still a very good crème brûlée with a very strong caramel flavor.
Overall, I liked Curveball Slider Truck. I think the key attribute to their sliders which won me over was their kaiser rolls which weren’t brioche or Hawaiian rolls like from other trucks. They’re off to a good start, especially with The Curveball Sliders. I give them 3.5 stars rounding up to 4!
