Morris Truck

This place seems to be hitting its stride. The Gouda with bacon and herb butter (a special) was great, and other sandwiches are consistently good. Thoughtful collection of (relatively) healthy little snacks to accompany the sandwiches for the kiddos.

The Brooklyn Children’s Museum café was recently renovated and I think it could use some tweaks. I love a food truck, but not sure how well it works for a children’s food venue. I thought (and heard other parents around me saying) that the offerings were too limited for children and the menu too expensive. Also a bit confusing. I wasn’t familiar with Morris Truck and the menu didn’t indicate anywhere that it specializes in grilled cheese — the written menu would have made more sense to me if I knew that. Menu options were titled things like «the classic,» without any mention of grilled cheese. I ordered «Big Trouble in Little China» and was (pleasantly) surprised to discover it was a Peking-​duck style presentation. They could use either better menu descriptions or photographs.
And for parents with picky eaters this place is difficult. There are only two meals for kids — $ 9 grilled cheese or grilled turkey, with one kind of juice box (no milk?) and either a bag of chips or a GoGo Squeeze applesauce. Woe to you if your child doesn’t like these things.
When possible I often order for the kid from the adult menu, or split something. With this menu I suspect that would be difficult; the Peking duck was pretty spicy, though not as spicy and unpleasant as the ginger beer I made the mistake of ordering (I couldn’t finish it).
