Global Bites Food Truck Park hosts several types of food trucks, celebrating diverse cuisines from around the world. If you like Mexican food and your dining companion wants to try food with the flavors of Argentina or Hawaii, head to Global Bites for lunch or dinner.
The Food Trucks at Global Bites
This is the largest food truck park in Northeast Florida, with room to park up to 18 trucks around their heated and air-conditioned lounge and bar. They curate the trucks so that no cuisine is repeated. Some trucks focus on desserts, others offer coffees, lemonade, or other drinks, with the majority serving hot and cold foods, including appetizers, shareables, handhelds, and entrees.
During any given week, you might find food trucks that offer the flavors of Greece, Argentina, Mexico, Italy, and Africa. You could order everything from a whole pizza to tasty vegetarian samosas. The trucks rotate frequently, though many use the park as their home port, leaving for a day or two to sell their food at various festivals and events. These food trucks are highly popular, and their food has been a hit with locals and visitors in Northeast Florida.
Dining at Global Bites Food Truck Park
Like most established food truck parks, you may enjoy the food at cafe tables and picnic tables on site. At Global Bites, you can also dine inside, out of the weather, in their bar and lounge. Global Bites Food Truck Park has been created around a former Denny's Restaurant, complete with the old glass block entry.
The brightly painted lounge has a full bar, with 24 rotating draft beers, several selections of wine, and handcrafted cocktails. Like the curated food trucks, you'll find brewed beers, ales, stouts, and IPAs from other nations and other regions of the U.S. The wine list at Global Bites also features wines from different areas across the globe.
After work or a full day of sightseeing, you can order shareables from some of the trucks and enjoy them with your friends and family in the bar, sharing stories along with the tastes of diverse cuisines.
Entertainment at Global Bites
Global Bites offers entertainment outside near the food trucks and inside the lounge. They frequently book a live music act on Saturday night, host karaoke on Fridays, and have a bingo night each Wednesday with players seated at the booths in the lounge.
There are also two pool tables, multiple screens with ESPN and major sports events, and a happy hour from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday. Their happy hour features select draft beers for $5.00, and $1.00 off all cocktails and glasses of wine.
And, hey, comfort is important. Global Bites has indoor restrooms for customers.
