The Whey Station

CHEESE GLORIOUS CHEESE AND SOME FANCY FRIES TOO!
Oh how I LOVE the food truck! Awesome crispy butter grilled bread with cheese in the middle how can you go wrong? Great Poutine Fries & Mighty Tasty Reuben Fries too. When I see this truck I pull over and run to it & you should too! They have many grilled cheese sandwiches to choose from with a magnitude of tasty toppings or you can make up your own. I usually just pick something from the board can’t go wrong. And, its a real good thing I don’t work downtown I’d be living off their sandwiches… but I’d get some exercise walking into Bushnell Park were the truck is often found… Yumo!

Amazingly worth the wait. Experienced a Mongering grilled cheese with bacon and truffle mayo. The truck was at the Oddball Comedy Fest in Hartford last weekend. Long line to place our order, after order was placed, still had to wait another 25 minutes for the food. But it was so good!!! Recommendation: if you see a line at their truck, stand in it, it’s for good reason!!!

Probably one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I’ve ever had. I got the Avo Melt at the their truck inside the Xfinity Theatre during the Oddball Comedy fest. It was packed with delicious avocado that oozed out with every bite. Yes, it was a bit messy. The bacon was sliced up in pieces so a whole slice wouldn’t slide out with one bite. The cheese was gooey and the bread was buttered and crispy. I ate mine so fast I almost forgot I ordered anything. Great sandwich!

I went to the Whey Station when it was in Bushnell Park after a coworker had mentioned it was «the best grilled cheese» he’s ever had. After finally getting the timing right me and and other coworker got grilled cheeses & split fries. I got the AvoMelt; cheddar, bacon, guac and a chipotle sauce which was really good but almost too much for me. The star of the show was the fries which were amazing. We got some sort of special which had Bear’s pulled jerk chicken with some sort of aioli and mango salsa. I wish I knew when they would have this again because it was that good, I’d make the walk for it.
Since then I’ve gone an additional time. This time I got the Big Sal grilled cheese; Monger Mix, prosciutto, caramelized onions and truffle aioli, and the cheesy bacon tots; tots, cheese sauce and melted cheese, bacon & scallions. The Big Sal was really good. It was a bit salty but just as expected with prosciutto. I would get it again. The tots were good but it was a lot of food on my own. I probably wouldn’t get both again without a second person.
I would definitely go again but probably ease up on the quantity of food because it’s the type of food that makes you want to take a nap right after consuming. There are lots of different grilled cheeses along with tots or fries. I would recommend the Whey Station if you want a filling, buttery, grilled cheese.

Finger lickin’ good! Unreal. Unreal. Unreal how good these things are.
I’ve be stalking the Whey Station truck for about a week, patiently waiting for it to pull up its parking brake in Hartford; and thankfully, today, it did!
Situated across from the Capitol Building, and 2 other food trucks (Peony and Agave Canteen), Whey Station sits comfortably on the outskirts of Bushnell Park.
I was sure to check the website first to see what kind of offerings they had; however they put out a list (from the website list) saying what the are making on that day. (One girl behind me asked if they could make a Jalapeño Sunrise, but I think they were missing a few ingredients) So, with that in mind, you cant come into it with a preconceived notion of what you want to get.
I ended up order the Davy Jones (Which is not on the online menu); it had Cheese! Roast Beef! Caramelized Onions! Garlic Aioli! Truck-​made Gravy!
Honestly, the Aioli and Gravy made this sandwich, so moist, so rich, so good.
My friend ended up ordering the ‘Mutt’ which had potato strings, bacon, cheese, other things! Not sure, but it was GOOD. We ended up splitting so that we could try both, and this one was by far my favorite. The bacon has a sweet flavor to it, and you can really taste the cheese. Overall just a bangin’ grilled cheese.
Every last bite was devoured and I really don’t think you can go wrong here. Also saw that they had a poutine on the specials menu, ahhh if only I had the stomach space!
The size is reasonable, and the prices are too. Definitely going to be making a few more stops whenever they are in the area! Thanks Whey Station!

THE. WHEY. STATION. ROCKS.
It’s cheese on wheels. DELICIOUS cheese on wheels. The variety of grilled cheese sandwiches changes every once in a while, but they have a board in front of the order window so that you know what they have that day.
If you are not a grilled cheese connoisseur, they also have regular fries, sweet potato fries, both plain or loaded with cheese and toppings. Sometimes they also offer loaded tater tots and POUTINE! (Yes, I love poutine).
That’s just the basics. I have another review of the Whey Station (location: Middletown) with more details if I got your attention with cheese. This one’s just the teaser.
And I remembered what their tip jar says, «tips if you cheese.» Haha. Yes it’s cheesy (pun not intended) but it’s the Whey Station! That is all.

I tried the Whey Station at the Xfinity theater in Hartford. I was so lucky that they had such wonderful food truck options to choose from. I tried the Monger, which is their signature blend of 5 cheeses. It was perfection! Crispy thick bread with ooey gooey melted cheese inside. It was very rich and filling. I also tried some of the tots with cheese and bacon. They were phenomenal as well. They put a generous amount of bacon and bechamel cheese on them. There was a long line at the food truck, and it did take awhile, but the service was friendly and professional. I can’t wait to try the Caprese or AvoMelt next!
