An outdoor hangout on Dallas' Greenville Avenue has reopened with a new nostalgic feature: Truck Yard, which helped usher in the backyard trend that is now de rigeur in the food & beverage world, has reopened at 5624 Sears St., AKA across from Trader Joe's, with $2 million in renovations that include the famous Tango Frogs.
The venue closed quietly in November, and in fact, when it closed would not answer questions about the closure. Now the truth can be told: It was temporary.
According to a release, Truck Yard owner Jason Boso felt it was time for a refresh to support the consistent demand of business.
“We know we’ve been the biggest tease, but it sure is nice to be desired,” says Boso. “While no one loves to shell out money to then shell up, we felt a renovation was necessary to meet the demand of our Dallas location. The first of its kind, we’ve learned a lot in the past decade and have since built out other locations to support the type of business we want to consistently offer guests. We knew Dallas needed new digs and we feel this is great step into a new decade of business.”
Known for its rotating food trucks, cheesesteaks & nachos, and outdoor drinking, Truck Yard is also celebrating a decade in business, having first opened in 2013.
The renovation included functional improvements such as:
- making the concept more year-round weather-friendly
- covered patios and four fire pits
- A larger bar and back of house kitchen for high volume days
- paved driveway for food truck ease
- new bathrooms
There's also more truck bed seating, new furniture, a covered private event space, and new cocktails.
They've also adopted tableside technology so that customers can order drinks direct from their phone to be delivered.
