Lake Fayetteville is not only an Ozarks destination for outdoor enthusiasts, but also home to a large food truck court offering some of the most authentic cuisine in town!

Grab a bite to eat before or after exploring the trails or floating the lake, or just meet up with your friends for lunch without having to settle on one restaurant! You’ll find Thai, Mexican, Chinese, Burgers, Soul Food, street food, and beyond, all served hot and fresh. If a full meal isn't on the menu for you, try one of the sweet treats, cold Thai teas, or frozen fruit delicacies that are whipped up on the spot. The lineup of food trucks situated near Lake Fayetteville offer affordable, delicious, and culturally diverse meals in an easy-to-access location.

Perfect for an outdoor lunch in the sunshine, a quick bite to tide you over, or a safe spot to refuel after a long day spent in nature, you’ll find food served at all times of day, seven days a week. Each food truck sets its own hours, so you’ll find bites to eat and picnic-goers nearly any time. If you love great food in a gorgeous setting (who doesn’t?!), we insist you head out to Lake Fayetteville and start exploring the cuisine for yourself.

While we visit and update this list as often as we can, we do recommend calling before heading out if you have your heart set on one particular food truck. If you’re feeling open-minded about dealing with the oddball hours that sometimes come with running a small family business, try your luck. You may not find what you expected, but what you do find is guaranteed to be delicious!
