Truck Yard and Toilet Seats
By Donna Long
The Truck Yard in The Colony is a casual, dog and family-friendly beer garden whose theme is, yup, you guessed it… trucks. Salvaged cars, trucks, and automobile accessories dot the landscape of this food truck destination.
As you walk through the Truck Yard’s main gates, you will walk by a line of vintage cars and trucks stood on end with the bumpers partially buried. Salvaged vehicles dating as far back as the 1970s and 1960s are adorned with neon lights marking the courtyard’s broad path. The courtyard’s outer edge is surrounded by a rotating variety of food trucks, dessert trucks, and drink trucks.

Looking for some place out of the ordinary for dinner? Tired of the same restaurant routine – show up, get seated, order, eat, pay the bill, and leave? The Magic Time Machine will blow that boring routine out of the water.
The Magic Time Machine, with locations in Dallas and San Antonio, is designed with kids and young-at-heart-adults in mind. The food is hit or miss at times, to be honest. The menu is diverse with dishes ranching from steaks to burgers and fries. There are drinks for the kiddos as well as bubbly adult beverage “potions” that smoke using dry ice.
The magic that is delivered at the Magic Time Machine is in the themed decorations and costumed servers.
