We visited at lunchtime on a Wednesday in July. It was raining so it took some time for us to find space under the tent filled with picnic tables. There were food trucks along the perimeter with different cuisine options. We ordered from four different trucks: pizza, chicken strips and a Korean BBQ salad. For dessert we shared a cookie dough ball. The food was very good. My husband had an IPA from the bar. There is a smaller seating area inside with overhead doors that can close during cold weather. There were lots of TVs displaying sports events. The bathrooms were large and clean. We would go back!

Happy taco, It's absolutely the best burrito I have ever had. Super spicy but well worth it. Their sauce is the best. Good beer selection, but I'd go back just for the food.

We were wanting something other than the normal downtown restaurants. We stumbled upon the Back Lot Beer Garden and it was exactly what we were looking for. There are many food trucks sure to meet anyone's craving. I had a delicious and refreshing slushy from Full Moon Pizza. We then went to Mim's Mobile Grill. I had the chicken tender dinner. The chicken straps were meaty moist and tender and lightly breaded. I asked for honey mustard and ranch for my dipping sauce. The sauces were clearly homemade and so delicious! The fries were good and plentiful as well. My husband had the Original Gyro. It was delicious and very filling. Our service was fast and friendly. We will definitely return. This food truck area is a nice option for the main street fare.

This hidden gem was the perfect place to spend a Saturday afternoon! My husband and I were in town this weekend for a wedding and we stumbled upon the back lot by chance between the wedding and the reception. First off the concept is brilliant. There's something for everyone with all the super cute food trucks and shipping freights. We loved the atmosphere, it was super chill and we met some lovely locals. We sampled some beer and sat out in the Muskoka chairs and it was a perfect way to spend an afternoon! I wished we lived closer because we would definitely be regular customers! Great concept and fun atmosphere! We can't wait to make another trip back.

We were shopping in the area and a cashier at one of the shops told us about this place. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend if you enjoy craft beer and food trucks.

Big tip for the owner's here. Put out some signage so that people from out of town can find your sneaky azz's.... We absolutely love the beer and the concept of what you're doing, but please do put out some science people like us define view. GREat selection of food and beers to compliment whatever food you choose

Such a fun place and the food was amazing. The shrimp taco was our best bite of the day and the crunchy wrap supreme was delicious. The taco truck was hands down our favorite but honestly nothing bad to say about the other food. The fiery feta fries were really good too. Definitely recommend.

Great space to hang for hours on a beautiful day! Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating with many food truck choices and a pretty well stocked bar! Loved all the local brew choices on tap! We got some food from Cheese & Co. That was delicious of course!
