Truck Yard

This place is great! One of the first places my friend took me to when I moved here and I was impressed! Such a fun time. There were a few food trucks (I hear the food trucks change every day), good music playing, everyone drinking it up with friends, and so many cute dogs! There was also a friendly cat walking around!
There’s also a tree house and a bar up there! How cool is that?!
Making a mental note to try to book this place for my future wedding reception. I love the setup. Currently trying to convince all my friends to move to Dallas (or at least visit), and this is one of the first places I’m taking them.

It’s a really neat place, and worth going if you have never been. The issue is more with the patrons than with the place itself. I just can’t stand being in a beer garden with kids!

Such a fun place! Was a huge lot which reminded me of a backyard with a bunch of mix matched furniture and home made art pieces. There were a bunch of different food trucks as well as 2 restaurants with full bars. Since it is technically outside dogs are allowed! Def recommend if you are in the area!

We’ve been here several times, and we always enjoy the ambience. Went there for lunch today, and enjoyed good food from the current food-​trucks, which happened to include Cajun Tailgater’s. Mmmm. The philly-​cheese-​teaks are always good, although we tried sumpin’ different this time. The drinks are always good (not chintzy on the ETOH) in the bar, and what’s not to love about frozen trash-​can-​punch? The outside bar wasn’t yet open, but we could still run a tab inside. Dog-​friendly, with an eclectic mix of people-​types; the Truck Yard always makes for great crowd watching! (Also; hats off to them for the occasional Dallas Fire & Rescue fundraisers.)

The best Philly cheese steak I’ve ever had in my life. Perfect place for warmer weather!

my first time and I really enjoyed myself.
the name is true to character that’s for sure. lots of outdoor seating and the patio is pet friendly. they have plenty of food trucks and also have a kitchen of their own. I didn’t order any food, this was a drinks only stop for me this go around but the drinks I had were great and at a good price. Their trash can punch is great and I loved their blood Mary’s. I can only imagine how packed this place gets when the weather is nice!

This place is awesome! My friend that lives in Dallas brought me to check it out. It’s a cute little area lined with a variety of food trucks and has a bar. It is sometimes hard to find a spot to sit at though. It’s a great place to go to relax and grab food and drinks with friends.

Love Truck Yard! I always have a great time here. To be honest, it can be annoying sometimes during the summer when you literally have nowhere to sit. I came here recently in January and I was impressed by their outside patio filled with heaters. It was perfect and didn’t feel like January at all (but then again it’s January in TEXAS haaa).
I’m a huge fan of the trash can punch. Definitely recommend ordering the punch and checking out their selection of beers. The Philly Cheesesteak is great to share if you’re wanting something to munch on.
My friend from Puerto Rico visited Texas for the first time and he loved it here. It was the perfect place to go before heading out to uptown bars!

This place is great! Love the setup. We need something like this in NYC! There’s 3 bars including one in a tree! And it is pet friendly. There are food trucks which I think rotate. When I was there, it was a Korean BBQ truck, a Greek truck and a crepes truck (that sells sandwiches too). my friends and I shared a #10 sandwich from the crêpe food truck which was grilled chicken, caramelized onions, Brie cheese and topped with Parmesan crusted fries on top! So good! Inside they also serve Philly cheese steak sandwiches which we also shared.
The bartenders are friendly and helpful. I had a Kosmopilitan which was quite tasty.
Great place to come with friends!

I FINALLY got the chance to stop by the Truck Yard last weekend and am so mad at myself for not coming sooner. What a fun, laid-​back atmosphere! Started off the «Truck Yard,» experience with two of their moscow mules (If heaven had a taste… it would be these drinks!). Amazing! If you come here be sure to bring your appetite as there is something for everyone. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of coming here after brunch which I highly regretted as they had about 3 different food trucks plus Carnival Ice Cream located near the front entrance.
Overall, Great spot to bring a group of friends as there is a lot of outdoor seating with some tables and booths inside near their bar. If you are open to eclectic sceneries where you can sit outside and listen to music then the Truck Yard is for you! Keep in mind they are dog friendly (another bonus!). Basically there is pretty much something for everyone here. Enjoy!

I love the Truck Yard. This place is so «Dallas» to me and I always bring out of towners here for the experience. I feel like I should write a review, because I’ve had so many good times here during the weekends and the weekdays. It’s kind of hard to find a table during the weekends sometimes, so just be prepared for that. It’s never a problem during the weekdays!
Dog-​friendly, so feel free to bring your dog! I love the food trucks that are always around so you can get your grub on. The philly cheesesteaks inside are great too, so don’t miss out.
Parking can be a little tricky sometimes, but you’ll find a spot eventually!

This place is great! I absolutely love the set up. And the bartenders. And everything.
We stopped here before I even got to drop off my suitcase after I flew into DFW. So much fun. Maybe a little too much fun. I had never had texas beers and tried a whole bunch before settling on revolver’s blood and honey ale. The ABV is 7% on it which is higher than average but not extreme. Yet the inebriation snuck up on me and then knocked me over with a sledgehammer. I had three and felt a good buzz at the bar and then somehow the night vanished. So beware.
I really did enjoy the outdoor seating which is set up like an actual truck yard (hello, I love novelty). There was a bench set up in the bed of an actual truck and that was where we parked it for the majority of the evening. The bathrooms were porta-​potties (appropriate, but yuck) and there was another bar – not open since it was a weeknight and not very crowded – in a trailer. I was very impressed! Ps. the inside bar had more bathrooms so you needn’t squat if you’re a germaphobe like I am.
We ended up going back into the bar area for another round and I got to try a bunch of local brews; they have about a dozen on tap. The blood and honey remained my favorite but I really hand it to the bartenders for being so sweet and so patient through my indecisiveness. They also had some suggestions since I was new to the area and the bartender and my friend bounced ideas back and forth on where we should go while I was there. I really appreciate local recommendations, esp since I grew up in a tourism city and am not particularly friendly to visitors in my own hometown.oops.

This is a cool place with several food trucks as a border. In the center are plenty of wooden tables. To the right is a stage with guitars hanging as a decoration. There’s also a tree that has a small deck on it to overlook this place.
It was cool to come here on a Sunday afternoon to hear a live band play country music while enjoying a snack. We definitely enjoyed that part. Everyone just seems pretty laid back here. Good vibes & good music definitely.
PS try some sliders!

I’m in love with the whole setting of this place! Super dog friendly, tree house, plenty of outdoor seating, food trucks, live music on the weekend, very attentive waitresses, it’s a perfect spot to go to, especially when the weather is nice. They also have indoor seating in case of raining or cold weather.
I still haven’t tried the food from here, but their drinks are pretty strong and good, just slightly a little pricey kinda goes against the laid back extremely casual setting, still wouldn’t stop me from coming back here to people watch or… dogs watch while sipping on a mojito from up top on the tree house :)

Absolutely the coolest place! Love the semi-​permanent Food Truck concept, and the atmosphere here! The Cheesesteak was awesome, and the Slider’s truck was there when we were today, and had one burger with Bacon, Cheese and Peanut butter that was out of this world!
If you are looking for a restaurant, or something even slightly fancy, stay away, because this has the coolest «dive» feel, and an awesome vibe!

Experience and enjoyment of Truck Yard depends greatly on what your expectations are of it, and how you choose to approach it. It’s not a typical restaurant or bar, more of a commercial concept that appeals to a certain young demographic.
The place is an enclosed bar/​food stand with a covered patio open to a dirt yard under expansive shade trees. It is all decorated in «ramshackle chic» (make no mistake, it was built from scratch to look like an abandoned/​rescued roadhouse) with tons of stressed wood, industrial components, sheet metal, mismatched furniture and trashed bench seating covered in duct tape. It’s the type of dive place hipsters imagine they would find if they ever ventured into the rural areas of Texas (which they don’t) so this satisfies their longing for faux-​white-​trash tastes.
However, Truck Yard is not without some pluses. It has a small grill specializing in a single-​item menu — Philly cheesesteaks with a choice of protein and toppings, which are pretty good. It accommodates a couple of rotating food trucks outside but I wouldn’t classify it as a food truck park as I’ve never seen more than two (and independent to the place, they’re prone be unreliable and close up early when the crowd slows down). A separate ice cream vendor is permanently on the same grounds.
The inside bar, which is the core of this place, is pretty good. Full liquor available and a brand-​new draft system that dispenses some of the cleanest craft beer in town (served in a plastic Solo Cup, for the full effect) as well as some premixed house cocktails on tap. Volume is high so turnover keeps the beers fresh. An outside bar in the «treehouse» is also open on weekends.
The crowd is definitely filled with young, post-​college professionals and hipsters, and it can be a bouncing place in the summer after dark. The yard is filled with rusting shells of vintage trucks and other equipment scattered among the picnic tables and cheap folding chairs. Bands play occasionally, and the whole outside yard is dog-​friendly. Parking is free in the adjoining lot, and at the nearby Trader Joe’s after 9 pm.
If you’re just looking to chill on a patio and not too critical about cuisine, authenticity or urban Bohemian attitudes, it can be a pleasant place when the weather is good.

Really cool hippy atmosphere, they have a tree house bar that overlooks the yard, I believe there is a daily of 3 food trucks that come, we opted for the philly cheesesteak with double meat and American cheese… it was good but I think it wasn’t cheesy enough which was prolly due to too much meat but none the less a good cheesesteak, not as good as the ones in philly but decent, great place to hang out with friends, wear comfortable shoes cuz its soil ground that you are stepping on

This place is a complete gem. We were looking for a place to just kickback, relax, eat and drink and the Truck Yard was just the place.
If you can’t find a seat just ask to join someone else at their table (think Texas style beer hall). If there aren’t any chairs go check the fence as there is likely a rickety lawn chair you can take down and use.
The live may I the night I went had the perfect volume to enjoy the music and also hold a conversation.
When is Dallas next I will be coming back to the Truck Yard.

This is gooder’n grits!
Now this little shindig is meaner than a sack full of rattlesnakes and busier than a one-​legged man in a butt kickin contest. Your gonna feast your eyes on some purdy cool stuff right here! Come to this truck yard right before dark and get your dang, darn, dern rootin’ tootin’ dancin’ on if you fixin’ to find that Betty Sue you’ve been dreamin ’bout all day long. Grab a few of your pals, get gussied up and get ready for a granny-​slappin’ good ol’ time!
Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!
Now don’t git me wrong… if you’re comin’ during the summer it’ll be hotter than a goat’s butt in a pepper patch in this joint but the beers be flowin’ colder than a witch’s tit. Now if I had my druthers, I’d reckon that I’d sweet talk and rubber neck my way into the Tree House bar where only adults are allowed to gaze down on those yapper younguns gettin’ their uppity on below.
Now ain’t that brittle?!

I absolutely love Truck Yard. Casual, fun and tons of outdoor seating. I went twice on my last visit to Dallas. Saturday night was a lot busier than Sunday afternoon, but both times were enjoyable experiences.
I love the entire setup of this place. There’s a treehouse patio, various food trucks and an old RV that’s been made into a bar. So much character! This will likely be my go-​to bar whenever I’m in town.
Just a few tips: Park in the lot behind the bar, bring your dog and use cash. Also, it’s kid-​friendly before 9pm. (PS — Eat at the BBQ food truck)
