Can you say HERO or Villains for the win! WOW, what an amazing day even with the rain, this food truck brought a smile to everyone's day. I always say that my teachers are heroes without capes so the theme of this truck was so fitting. Every year, I try to do something extra special for my staff. This year, I booked the Hero Or Villain Food Truck. I was able to select 6 different sandwiches for my staff to choose from and options such as loaded fries & soft drinks. These sandwiches were the BOMB! Freshly made and grilled with such unique options: Blackfire (Steak, bacon, egg, mozz, grilled peppers, onion & drizzled with a spicy sriracha mayo), Thor (Turkey, bacon & Cheddar, mayo), Kingpen (Grilled Chicken, mozzarella & pesto aioli), Captain Planet (Marinated Mushrooms, Grilled Onions, Mozz, Red Pepper & pesto aioli), Deathstroke (Steak, grilled peppers, provolone, onion & mayo), Hawkeye (Turkey, swiss, sauerkraut, pickles, 1000 island dressing). These sandwiches were served on grilled sourdough, marble rye or a hoagie bun.My favorite was Thor but the Hawkeye was equally as delicious. I didn't have a chance to try all of them but everyone was raving about their sandwiches. The two ladies working the food truck were amazing. Serving up 50+ sandwiches in 1 1/2 hours was seamless. I've been told that this food truck travels all over the place. If you are lucky enough to try them, trust me, you will be in sandwich heaven! If you are booking an event, I highly recommend Hero or Villain Food Truck. Until next time,#catwoman

I'm not gonna lie, I was lured in by the sign that said "Food Network's Top 25 food trucks." The ratings online were good to so I gave it a try.I ordered the kingpin. It really was super yummy! The bread was perfectly toasted. It was so savory and tasty. I split it with my mom, so later when I was a bit hungry again after walking around Eastern market, I had to go back a second time and get the pesto, turkey, avocado one (forgot the name). It was just as tasty and yummy. Also the workers are nice and the food truck itself is so cute. So many stickers and super hero figurines and knick knacks.

I'm a comic book nerd so I was drawn to this truck for obvious reasons. Cute nostalgic setup here with superhero figurines our front. I indulged on the Kingpin which is a chicken sandwich and I added bacon. It was quite tasty. The combo comes with waffle fries. Overall it was filling, presented nicely and not too much of a wait time.What lost a star for me was when I'm seeing fries come out with this amazing looking aoli on them. I wasn't presented that upgrade to my fries or I sure as heck would have paid the cost to make that happen!! I'd patronize again as the staff was super friendly and food size was worth the cost.

I have seen this food truck several times, but I had never had the chance to actually order any of the food. I finally had the opportunity to try it. I must admit, I was a bit of a skeptic. My child got the Captain America without tomato, which is a grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, and I got the loaded waffle fries, whose name I have forgotten. It was waffle fries with feta cheese, pickled vegetables, and sriracha mayo. It was absolutely delicious. I must say I was surprised. Those were some memorable fries! I would order them over and over again, so delicious. I brought the leftovers home, and my other child loved them so much, she asked me when I had time to go to one of our favorite restaurants during work hours. They tasted so fresh, she thought they were from a popular place we often frequent. Plus, that child would have never eaten that combination in the past with the pickled vegetables and spicy sauce mixed into food, but that way they prepared this dish was so appealing, she finished it. I did not get a chance to try to grilled cheese sandwich, but my kid reported that it was very good, and reminded her of school lunch. This is not at all an insult, she loves school lunch and misses it very much! The truck brought some much needed nostalgia to a kid who misses school. It seems that the truck makes food to order which is why there was quite a line and a bit of a wait once the food was ordered, but that is not a bad thing unless you had a limited lunch hour. We were on a time crunch, but luckily I had more time to wait and retrieve the food so my child could get back to her responsibilities. I saw some flyers about this truck coming around my neighborhood as well for dinner. The wait would be less worrisome for a dinner time compared to the lunch time rush.

I found this truck at the mo pop music fest in Detroit, there were so many food trucks to choose from I won't lie I walked around for a bit just kind of looking at different options.I'll admit the outside of the truck with the comic characters drew me in. Happy that I chose this one! The service was super quick! With that amount of people I was impressed that they kept it moving so quick and didn't make it feel like you were a bother.Say what you will about sandwich's but I think they are the best thing, and especially with an all day event such as a music fest.I had the delicious king pin sandwich! I loved the chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes and pesto aloli on sourdough it was so enjoyable and the perfect combination of everything on a sandwich, just what I needed to have a full day of fun at the mo pop festival, I'd certainly have them again given the chance.

Hero or Villain is my favorite food truck ever. I love them so much I periodically check their schedule and chase them around. A friend posted on social media a food truck schedule for her neighborhood and when I spotted my fav listed, I put the date in my phone so I wouldn't miss out. I always get the Captain Planet because it is flavorful AF and full of veggie goodness. I have tried to replicate it at home because it's just that good. My husband ordered Thor tonight and raves about the bread. Both sandwiches are loaded and delicious. And do not pass up those waffle fries!Love you guys. Thank you for brightening up our Tuesday evening.

That portabella sandwich was soooooooo good. The dressing and onions on the toasted bun... Finger licking good. Also had the waffle fries. Omg. A perfect choice. I will search the earth for a better portabella sandwich but I doubt I'll find it. I may move to Detroit to eat this sandwich again...nah...But really it was the best thing I've eaten in Detroit on my brief trip so far.

Yo! Hero or villain? New landmark "HQ" location located inside the same building as Ferndale's treat dreams. Honestly the whole vibe is dope and they have a great selection of sandwiches. I came for meillie(another new location) but honestly there's some great synergy of them being next to each other as you can easily get a snack (or side of fries) right next door. Service was great, friendly greetings and warm smiles all around.

Heading up towards Troy from Dearborn I knew I had to take a slight detour. Hot giardiniera, tons of feta, and sriracha mayo come together in the form of the Bowcaster Fries. This Wookiee sized side cannot be missed. It's the perfect combo of spice and salty goodness and far different from any other fry toppings I've ever had. It's different but different is darn good.

Easily one of the best steak subs in the area. Very friendly staff and nice setup as well.
