Bread and Circuses

Don’t get the mac and cheese… had to throw it away. Kraft mac and cheese was better than their cold flavorless mac and cheese

Circus Burger. I’d be happy with that from a restaurant. Outstanding coming out the back of a truck.
Lamb Curry Poutine was pretty good. Needed more cheese.
Can’t wait for them to open more locations.

Judging by the other reviews here, I should give this food truck another shot.
Unfortunately, what I ordered (the poutine) was devastatingly salty and I couldn’t even finish it. I am actually a big lover of salt (much to my poor heart’s chagrin), and it was even too much for me.
It sounds like their burgers are amazing, so I will give them another try soon and if I enjoy it I will change my review. But as it stands, I was not impressed at all.

I first experienced these guys at the Belgian (beer) Fest in Seattle Center with a severe case of the drunchies. Booooy do they know how to satisfy. The brussles sprout ceaser devastated my palette and ruined me for lesser food trucks. Imagine my surprise when I found out that they do the catering for The Woods. I can’t imagine a better way to waste a gloomy weekend afternoon.

AMAZING. I got the Wilbur, a pork chop sandwich with apple cole slaw and sweet/​hot green peppers. It was so sad when I was done eating it. I just wanted another one. These guys are the real deal! Come try their food on Tuesday evenings in Shoreline, next to Ridgecrest Pub on 165^th and 5^th.

WOW we stopped in at Seattle cider to grab some amazing cider best in Seattle for sure and decided we were hungry. So we got some duck fat popcorn I loved it couldn’t stop eating it husband wasn’t a fan but the garlic fries were awesome and the Brussel sprout Cesar was perfection. Rich and creamy the sprouts were tendar and the pieces of bacon were just the right addition for texture and salt. It is a must try. We will have it every time we go now. The people at bread and circus are friendly and always nice. the sounders fans and regulars are always fun. we will be back again.

We had an outstanding lunch Sunday at their truck on Union Street… I had a fabulous hamburger with Arugula on it and my husband had the best burrito he has ever had (and he happens to be somewhat of an expert on burritos!!!)…fine quality food, super clean trucks and very friendly accommodating personal… a wonderful experience… more like being in a first rate restaurant… we loved it… dee mcquesten

We ran across B&C at a Chucks Hop Shop and decided to try them out. I had the Wilbur and my wife had the Chick Pea Panisse. Absolutely delicious. The Wilbur may be one of the best sandwiches I have ever had.
Very good food.

Had the chance to try this truck at Stoup brewing company last night and it was awesome. Super friendly chef, awesome food (jerk chicken sandwich) and crispy fries. My buddy got the burger and enjoyed it too. If you’re ever near by, give them a try.

This is the best shared meal I’ve had in a very, very long time. Spinach quesadilla is an incredible, inspired, indian-​mexican fusion that I won’t soon forget. The burger and brat were great, as well, but not as memorable since they weren’t as inventive. However, the one thing I will never forget is the Brussels sprouts ceaser. Holy…
Grease completely permeated the paper tray it was served in but I don’t think I’ve had comfort food quite as comforting in a looong time. Bravo.

*Picked up a burger, brussels and fries at the Ridgehouse last night, super tasty
*I love that they put bone marrow in their buns
*The fries were very very average but they brussels with a hard boiled pickled egg and prok cirspins! Man!

I have to be honest. I have eaten here multiple times and I have only ordered the breakfast burrito. So I cannot speak to the quality of their other offerings. However, the breakfast burrito is probably the best breakfast burrito I have eaten so far in Seattle. The fried goodness of the French fries, melted cheese, chorizo and black beans with scrambled eggs. Persons on a diet need not apply.

Such great fusion food!!! So delicious and filling without making you feel like you ate a trashy grease bomb. Love. This. Truck.

This is the new Tom Douglas restaurant inside of Two Beers /​Seattle Cider. The menu is small but the items all look amazing. I had the Circus burger and it was quite possibly the best burger I’ve had in Seattle. The service was also great and the place was super clean. Order at the counter, grab a beer at the brewery’s counter, then sit anywhere in the room and enjoy a perfect culinary combination.

Stopped by whle the truck was at Chuck’s Hop Shop on Union. The service was great — the guys were really friendly and helpful. It was my first time there, so I told the guys what I was feeling like and they made suggestions. I said I wasn’t SUPER hungry but hat I wanted to try the breakfast burrito, so the chef offered to cut it in half and wrap a part of it in foil for me.
Burrito itself: chorizo, egg, tater tots, something else, and cheese (which I had them omit)
It was okay, but kind of salty. I don’t know if they added more salt for seasoning, but I have a feeling it was the chorizo.

Wow I was really impressed by the circus burger! It was juicy and super flavorful. Was such a treat to eat this for lunch outdoors on a sunny day! Will definitely be checking this food truck out again when it’s near my office.

Think to yourself, «Should I really trust a restaurant that bases its name on the idea of placating the commoners with food and spectacle so they ignore the atrocities of the ruling class?» Or, «Why does their website have a blurry Star Trek still on the header?» Or,
«Panem et circense… wait, Panem? Like in the Hunger Games? What?»
Let me tell you, if this is what the ruling class is using to subvert an uprising of the underclass underprivileged, sign me up! Well, not really, but this food is damn good. We ate at the truck outside of Chuck’s Hop Shop, and were surprised that everything, down to the french fries, were amazing and delicious. Seriously, this place is no joke. I ate a little too much, and I don’t really regret it. I’d trust this place with my mouth just about any day.
The service was also stellar, and they cut us a deal for our young boy who likes his burger with nothing on it.
This place is definitely a win, and we’ll be finding this truck again!

Stopped by the truck yesterday for lunch and was met with great service and an interesting menu. It being my first time here, went with War of the Pig.
Great concept but underwhelming in flavor and construction. The sandwich became soggy and oily, with no flavor through coming from the aioli or cheese. The pork meat looked pulled rather than sliced and the cheese wasn’t even melted in. I would try the burger instead next time, for the bone marrow bun.

This review is just for the burger which was awesome. Flavor, freshness, bun, toppings were all tasty and extra special. The guys running the truck were friendly. I’m excited to try the other stuff on the menu. I hope they keep coming to Chuck’s Hop Shop!

We went to a wedding last night that Bread & Circuses catered; they put an innovavative spin on Indian food and street food. Think lamb tacos, paneer quesadillas, roasted cauliflower. It was so delicious I just wish I ate more! I woke up this morning craving those lamb tacos. Will need to make a visit here soon!

Awesome food, seriously, the beer Mac n cheese is fantastic. The burger is delectable. Really great food truck.
But beware of the signs! They are misleading: «get a free duck fat popcorn (when you say please and thank you)» actually means «ask for a duck fat popcorn and then say please and thank you to get it for free.
Thanks for the popcorn, you guys. Keep up the fantastic cooking!

I found this truck at the Washington Brewers Festival and decided to try it out since it was one of the few trucks that had not been there years prior. I ordered a Circus Burger with jo-jo’s covered in beer cheese sauce. (I was totally buzzed!) When my order was ready, the burger looked good but the jo-jo’s didn’t have any beer sauce that I paid the additional two bucks for; so when I asked the cashier about this — he quickly told the cook and the cook asked if I wanted to add chili on it. Hell yeah! In this case, it worked to have an inaccurate order.
The burger with the bone marrow bun was solid, but wish I had tasted more of the bone marrow. The patty was a little too-​thin for my liking, but it was good. I really liked the pickled red onion on it — adding a sourness to the overall taste. The jo-jo’s were awesome. I can’t remember the last time I had jo-jo’s, so am really glad this truck serves them. The beer sauce and chili on the jo-jo’s were hearty. I was afraid I was going to puke from having had so much beef before eating such a rich meal. It definitely sobered me up, probably what I needed.
I’d probably skip the burger next time, and will try the War of the Pig sandwich, which is a roasted pork sandwich on a hoagie. I saw someone order it and it looked amazzzing.

Brussel sprout salad — big for the price and hella good. Pickled egg was a nice touch. My husband and brother in law had the double brunch burger with an egg (make sure you have napkins for that one) will be returning during the week to try out the weekday menu.

Suuuuper tasty burger… Like to die for! The salmon Reuben is equally delicious. Pairs perfectly with the cider served at Seattle Cider Co!

The service here is great– it is friendly and they will walk food to your table (at Chucks). Where they loose points is value. The salmon reuben sandwich contains 4 oz of salmon yet costs $ 12.00. For living in the Pacific Northwest, this is way to high. The portion served also seems to be much less then the 4 ozs advertised (when compared to pictures of leading salmon providers in the area like Trident foods).
For the price it is simply just A-​OK, not a place I would ever recommend though due to the cost and value for what you receive.

Salmon Reuben… I repeat: SALMON REUBEN!!! It’s delicious!
Also, the Brussels Sprout salad with the soft boiled egg is a winner. I enjoyed the veggie tacos but haven’t seen them on the menu in a while. The Portobello sliders were good but were big for being sliders (not that the fat kid in me is complaining!).
Up next to try: Potato Tornado and the Stout Brownie for dessert.
Great job guys!

If you saw the line outside this truck and decided to look into Bread and Circuses yourself — good call! — those lines do not lie.
My sandwich was epic. War of the Pig. The pork was incredible! (slow cooked?) and piled about a mile high on the softest roll in the world — perfect for soaking up the amazing sauce. It’s topped with aioli, havarti and broccoli rabe too, which is a nice touch, making it super unique.
The salmon rueben was JUST as good. House cured pastrami-​style salmon with gruyère cream cheese and fennel sauerkraut. How did they come up with that? Let alone have it turn out so perfectly. and delicious?!
You may be thinking that with such innovative and impressive sandwiches, their desserts might not be the thing to go for here, but dang, that espresso stout brownie with himalayan sea salt is good enough on it’s own to bring me back.
Thanks guys for coming to Chuck’s Hop Shop! The combination is a match made in heaven.

Stopped by Stoup yesterday evening, and treated myself to dinner at this new food truck. Got the brussel sprout caesar salad and the War of the Pig sandwich. Both were awesome… both last night and when I ate my leftovers for lunch.
Really wanted to try the beer can chicken (ok…and everything else on the menu!), but that was already a lot of food. Next time, which will need to be soon!
Truck looks great too!

So glad I got to try this truck when they were on the Eastside this week. The tofu tacos were legit! My friend got the burger, which I had a bite of and wished I got it too! If your from ST Louis you will appreciate the Provel on their burger! That’s some good ass cheese!

A menu for everyone! You don’t find this kind of variety in many food trucks, especially ones geared toward «gastropub» styles. The vegan tacos were so tasty and flavorful with the perfect hint of spice from the jalapeño sauce. The potato tornado is such an innovative idea for those who want chips! Such a great food truck. Can’t wait to follow them and try some more of their grub!
