Great bar that shares an open space with about six food trucks. It’s a great idea. The Little Feet is the name of the corner of the block that the bar and food trucks occupy. It sounds like the trucks can switch out each year but the bar remains. Great idea, fun for families or a group of tourist friends to eat, drink and hang out!

Great outdoor food truck area with a bar that is dog friendly. We got delicious tacos and drinks. Would recommend for anyone visiting traverse with a pup!

Atmosphere is awesome! Super cool layout and premium seating options with shade and sun. Very dog friendly. Love the layout of the food trucks with great variety of options. Boozy drinks available from the bar. I marked low on service because there isn’t any. Order yourself, clean up yourself. Nice people in the trucks, but they just hand you food. The food was good. Lobster rolls are tasty but high priced at $32/each for the 4 Oz roll. No fries or chips, just the roll. Burger was very reasonable at $12. Not great flavor, but it was good.

This charming spot offers a vibrant mix of local flavor and entertainment. A rotating selection of food trucks serves up delicious street food, while a laid-back bar invites you to unwind with a cold drink. Live music often fills the air, creating a festive atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Whether you’re looking for a casual bite, a fun night out, or just a place to soak in the local vibe, this lively gathering place is well worth a visit.

There are so many good food and drink options. I definitely need to visit more than once to take it all in. Great place to eat when the weather is good and covered seating when it’s not.

Think of it as Northern Michigan’s version of a food truck courtyard—but with fewer edges. It’s got energy, solid drinks, and a few standout options (tacos, Thai). But don’t expect LA’s Grand Central Market, Austin’s East Side food truck parks, or anything near SF’s Off the Grid.
The menus skew heavy—pork, fried things, and not a clean, fresh salad in sight. If you’re used to meals with texture, acid, herbs, or restraint, this isn’t that.
The real win here is the layout: open seating, community-style tables, and free self-serve sparkling and flat water stations (a very rare feature). Parking can be annoying but doesn’t reach vacation-town chaos levels.
Cigar and cigarette smoke were oddly prevalent in the shared space. For a food-forward venue, it undermines the experience.
Verdict: Come for the beer, sunshine, and one solid dish. Stay if the crowd is good. But if you’re expecting the food to carry the place—it won’t.

We stumbled upon this food truck and beer garden lot while traveling from Philly on our family road trip vacation around the Great Lakes. It’s a great little place, dog-friendly, with a variety of food trucks that cater to everyone, which is especially handy when you have kids in tow.
The atmosphere is inviting, and the food truck selection is diverse. However, the lines can be long, and it might take up to 15 minutes to get your food. The vendors are friendly, and the food is good, which makes the wait worthwhile. There’s also a free water cooler available if you don’t want to buy drinks.
One downside was our experience with the bartender. When I asked for beer suggestions, she seemed offended and didn’t offer any help. This was a bit off-putting, but we found another stand offering adult beverages with better service.
Despite this hiccup, if we’re ever in the area again, we would certainly stop by. The overall experience, especially the friendly food truck vendors and the dog-friendly environment, makes it a spot worth revisiting.

Went here 2 different nights during our time in Traverse City. Loved the food trucks with tables and a fire pit in the open outdoor seating area. The brick oven pizzas were unique flavors snd the stuffed portobello mushroom caps were superb! But, our favorite of the two was Tommy the Taco. A bit on the spicier side, but the food wash perfectly prepared and priced reasonably for the fresh, quality ingredients in their food. Can’t wait to try the other trucks and have a few drinks in their open air bar the next time we are in town!

One of TC’s gems! If you’re up here and need a spot to hang, this has something for everyone and is super family friendly.
There are multiple food trucks — pizza, tacos, hot dogs, smoothies/health food (salads, bowls), Asian fusion/noodles, BBQ, and a really good booze slushies and margarita, natural wine bar.
They also collaborate with the community and host events here. Live music basically every WRFSaSu!
