It is a great spot for casual dining. Quality of food is pretty solid, can't really go wrong with anything. We hit the Mediterranean, Thai and Burmese spots, all are delicious. It's kinda like Cartopia but maybe even bigger. There are also porta potties and running water available.

This is one of my favorite places to come for street food. There is a gyro cart they have here and it's my favorite. They always have the best food here.. I've been coming here for years. Love the fire sitting area, and in the winter they have a covered area with heaters. In the summer a nice bench area.

plenty of great food choices.

If I have people coming from out of town I always bring people to enjoy the variety of food carts here. It has a nice sitting area that's great for large gatherings and it's so central for many shops.

Great food truck spot that's great for groups! Kids will likely get a kick out of the robot like sculptures throughout the space.

This place is popping. I walked over with my dog on a Tuesday afternoon and the carts were packed with crowds which I didn't expect for that day/time. There was plenty of seating at the picnic tables but a lot of groups were standing around socializing. The options here are endless which makes it a great place to go with a group of people because everyone can choose whatever their in the mood for even if it's different. There's pizza, gyros, poke, bubble tea, Thai food, sandwiches, you name it. I opted for a waffle cone filled with fried chicken. It was DELICIOUS. I then went for a 1 mile walk over to Salt and Straw. It doesn't get much better than that!

Really good variety of food and excellent heated/covered outdoor options on chilly nights. The only drawback to this place is the benches on the long tables are very uncomfortable but the diverse food selection still makes it worth the trip.

Lots of different places to choose, like going to a mall's food court. Be sure to check - out the days of the week and times before going. Which sadly our mistake. However food was still to be had. The Waffle place made me a Keto plate. KUDOS and thank you. Dog friendly. Paid Parking lot across the street or find street parking.

This spot gathers a great mix of food trucks serving up some quality dishes in a chill outdoor area. Mexican food trucks, Khachapuris, Thai food and a lot more. We were immediately drawn towards a mac and cheese spot and right next to it was a dumpling truck.This was the most amazing pesto mac and cheese! The pesto was herby, cheesy, and the amount of sauce was unmatched to any pasta I've had.This mac was perfection!The beef Dumplings were also so good. The sour cream had a little something extra, a bit more of a tangy taste that gave it a good zesty kick and with the chives it's balanced out so it's still a creamy addition. It's such a winner.The area is dog friendly too. It's mainly all bench seating but they are long spacious benches so theres lots of room and in the back there are Port o potties and sinks. Pretty cool place for food and drinks!

Hawthorne Asylum came up quite a few times on tiktok videos and foodie sites when I was making my plans to visit. This spot gathers a great mix of food trucks serving up some quality dishes in a chill outdoor area. Mexican food trucks, Khachapuris, Thai food and a lot more. We were immediately drawn towards a mac and cheese spot and right next to it was a dumpling truck. We walked around to give everything a chance but couldn't get these two off our minds. This was the most amazing pesto mac and cheese! The pesto was herby, cheesy, and the amount of sauce was unmatched to any pasta I've had. It wasn't overcomplicated and we didn't add any toppings but this mac was perfection! The beef Dumplings were also so good. The sour cream had a little something extra, a bit more of a tangy taste that gave it a good zesty kick and with the chives it's balanced out so it's still a creamy addition. It's another simple dish but such a winner. As for the location it's interesting. We found street parking one street in front and there was also a lot nearby. The area is dog friendly too but it's tighter in between trucks so make sure your furry friend is feeling friendly. It's mainly all bench seating but they are long spacious benches so theres lots of room and in the back there are Port o potties and sinks. Pretty cool place for food and drinks!

What a beautiful food cart lot! I LOVED the industrial haunted asylum feel! And the tables and seating is beautifully crafted. We went for the Waffle Breakfast Sandwich. They were amazing. But we should of just ordered one and shared it because they are so big. It was a beautiful experience with great art.
