How to do Trackside the easy way
A few simple habits make food truck nights smoother — especially with groups.
Trucks rotate, hours shift, and weather matters. If you’re coming from out of town, check the schedule first — but keep a backup in mind.
- Check the food truck schedule before you drive over.
- Have one backup restaurant nearby if a truck is sold out.
Trackside is great for groups because everyone can order from different trucks and still eat together. If you’re in a group chat, send people the lineup and let them pick.
- Fastest approach: one person scouts, everyone orders.
- If it’s busy, expect short lines at the most popular truck.
The best time to show up is usually before peak dinner hours. Popular trucks can sell out on high-traffic evenings or during local events.
- Earlier = shorter lines.
- Busy evenings = come hungry, be patient, and enjoy the vibe.
