Back in the day, the only mobile food establishment was the Ice
Cream Truck. Now, you can still get your sweet treat, but also a
gourmet meal.
Here’s a list of food truckery at its finest in Clear Lake. Often found
at Thursdays on Main, the Brewery, Farmer’s Market, and at events
throughout the season, follow them on social media to see where
they’ll pop up next!.
Big Brad’s BBQ the name says it all for finger-licking yumminess
Clear Lake Express a variety of delicious sandwiches and paninis
Hot Rod’s BBQ delicious secret-recipe BBQ
Munchies best walking taco this side of the Mississippi
Perry’s Sweet Treats the ultimate ice cream truck and novelties
Pig Skin BBQ you’ll definitely need a wetnap after this one
Ritz Rings & Things famous onion rings and more
Ronin Sushi Food Truck Japanese tastiness on the go
Smokee Heights scrumptious BBQ for your enjoyment
South Shore Donut Co. to satisfy that sweet tooth
The Iowa Grill all your grilled favorites at one truck
Them People mouthwatering maidrites and more
Original Vector
and FRESH
Starting off the roster is Bread & Buttercrème, a multi-cuisine delight serving lunch, drinks and coffee.
But don’t get too full because you need to save room for dessert at this place for sure. Their assortment
of baked goods and pastries are sure to make your mouth water and your taste buds do a dance of joy.
Next up is BeWELLness, which is the parent company that runs Lauren’s Lunchbox and Simply
Nourished. They are the epitome of organic wholesomeness. Think Whole Foods, but on a smaller
scale. Patrons can purchase items for their own cooking pleasure (at Simply Nourished) or head
upstairs and grab a boxed lunch for those on the go (at Lauren’s Lunchbox) and enjoy it across the
street at City Park.
The Fieldhouse burst onto the restaurant scene as the place to go for an intimate evening. With their
candlelight setting and spectacular views of City Park and the Lake, they are the primo choice for date
night. They definitely hit a homerun with their ever changing menu of fresh, local fares. Be sure to
stop in for Sushi Sunday, guaranteed to knock your socks off.
The South Shore Donut Company started with their donuts-a-go-go food truck this summer. They’d
pop up here and there, you’d blink, and all the donuts would be gone! With such high demand, the
DoCo recently opened their storefront location in the old Tinkers Reef on South Shore Drive. However,
delicious ooey, gooey, frosted treats aren’t the only thing on the menu…oh no, they also serve lunch!
Stop in for one of their signature Mixwich sandwiches and a cup of soup.
Finally, the last batter for the freshman team is KB Emporium. This classy, elegant establishment took
the Clear Lake food scene to the next level with their simple lunches, fine dining for supper, a rooftop
patio, art décor, clothes and a magnificent wine cellar. It’s a taste of the city without the drive and a
great addition to our charming Clear Lake.
So there you have it folks, the wave of healthy and fresh definitely crashed right into Clear Lake. It’ll
be a mouth-watering ride all the way to shore.
