Food Trucks

Stop by for a bite to go, drop in for a drink, or spend a few hours with friends on the patio. Most of the lots are open mid-spring to early-fall. Take a look at this list of food trucks around Traverse City and in Leelanau County.

Where to Find Food Trucks

Downtown, The Little Fleet is a year-round hangout run by local entrepreneurs and fueled by good vibes. Come summer, the patio comes alive with a rotating lineup of food trucks, live music, and a bar serving local craft beer, cocktails, and natural wines. Past favorites have included Daily Blend’s locally sourced smoothies and bowls, Dogwood’s creative hot dogs, and Traverse City Pizza Company. With new trucks popping in all the time, there’s always something fresh and delicious to try.

Just a block from The Little Fleet, The Coin Slot arcade and its Keg Stand taproom have a cozy patio where you’ll find a couple of food trucks, picnic tables, and cornhole — perfect for a quick and tasty pit stop. Step inside and you’re instantly hit with nostalgia: Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., endless pinball…it’s basically your childhood, but with better snacks and beer.

Mexican eats

A trio of south-of-the-border taco trucks call Traverse City home. Show up early to nab Taqueria Mosqueda’s carnitas tacos, quesabirrias, enchiladas, or tortas before they sell out. Off the Hook Tacos, which operates seasonally, has a menu to fuel any appetite, whether you prefer pork, fish, chicken, or veggies. 

International bites

Travel to Asia with fusion dishes at the seasonal Mary’s Asian Cuisine and Heart N Seoul’s Korean comfort food. Then head to Europe with French-inspired street food at Le Metropolitain and local-focused noodle dishes at Full Send Ramen, all without ever leaving the Traverse City area.

Good ol’ barbecue

Rollin Smoke TC BBQ knows its meats. Pulled pork sandwiches, smoked wings, smashburgers, good mac and cheese — they make it all. Cordwood BBQ, parked at the Little Fleet, also serves up the classics on a plate or on a bun.
