Questions Visitors Ask

Can I bring my pet to The Grub Lot?

We love four-legged friends! The Grub Lot is an outdoor, open-air venue, and well-behaved pets on a leash are typically welcome. As a courtesy to other guests, please clean up after your pet and keep them close to your seating area.

Do all food trucks accept cash and cards?

Each food truck is independently operated, so payment methods can vary. Most vendors accept both cash and major credit cards, but it’s always a good idea to bring a little cash just in case you visit a truck that is cash-only. An ATM is often available nearby for your convenience.

Is there seating available on site?

Yes, we provide covered seating under our event pavilion as well as outdoor picnic tables spread throughout the park. We want you to be comfortable while you enjoy your meal, whether you prefer the shade or the sunshine.
