    I've only visited once , but this place makes me so so happy . It is a open space for food trucks and events and an indoor canteen area for drinks and events . People are nice and friendly and it's is the perfect example of a"third space" for people to mingle and visit . One thing though , the parking situation is a bit precarious , maybe plan for that

    Lots of sunshine and plenty of space to spread out

    A group of about 15 of us went to 9 Mile to celebrate a birthday on a Sunday, and we were very pleased with the overall experience. We had plenty of room to spread out & the kids had plenty of space to run around. Unfortunately, only 1 food truck was available to order from and they left around 5pm, so I would recommend calling up before you go to make sure they have plenty of food options. The spicy margaritas here are amazing. I am usually hesitant about drinks on tap, but I took a shot with this one and I will say that it is probably one of my favorite spicy margs in the city. Strong too! The service was great! And the song bingo was really fun. We will definitely be back.

    There is something always going on at 9 Mile Garden. Follow them on a their Facebook page for all their events. I last visited in a Sunday afternoon. Farmers Market and a band playing outside. Bingo going on in the canteen. Always a fun vibe and attracts some of the best local food trucks. Beer is a little pricey but they always have an extensive fun selection on draft in the canteen. Fun vibe and friendly service. Always own of my favorite places to meet a friend or catch a quick bite to eat

    This business is an outside venue to support small groups and large groups that provide food through the variety of food trucks. The on premise building does serve beer and soft drinks. This location provides stages for music and family entertainment. This visit was offering music from Mississippi Clean and a children program called Bluey. Check the website for 9 mile Garden for daily and monthly events. The grounds have tables but you can bring chairs to watch the bands or any other entertainment that is scheduled. I checked for later in May and one of my favorite rock cover bands "Infringement" is scheduled later in May.Check out 9 mile and experience a great entertainment venue.

    After hearing many great things about 9 Mile Garden, I decided to finally try it tonight. It's safe to say that was one of the strangest experiences of my life. This might be a little dramatic, but I'm slightly traumatized. The concept is really cute and fun, but maybe we went on the wrong day. The food options were very limited, but we decided to try Truck Norris. The employees were very friendly, and our food came out quickly. However, the food itself was very mediocre and overpriced. The chicken tacos were pretty good, but for being so small and only consisting of chicken, corn, and guacamole, I wouldn't say it's worth $9 for two tacos. The buffalo chicken egg rolls were also pretty good, but nothing special. As far as the environment, I love that this place is very dog-friendly. However, some people struggled to control their dogs. Also, I witnessed an intoxicated woman publicly beat her two husky puppies in front of everyone. Quite literally everyone there stopped eating and watched this happen. One of the puppies squealed in pain and began limping. When a bystander approached the lady to inform her that the puppy was injured, the owner proceeded to yell at her. Lots of other peculiar things happened too in the short time we ate here. Part of me wants to try coming back a different time when the food trucks rotate out, but I'm hesitant.

    I've never been here before but came for a Dog Halloween Costume contest. What an incredible place! It had a vintage feel as you can see from lighting in the bathroom. The signage on the bathroom door reminded me of a gatsby vibe. I love that they hosted an event for Dog Savers Rescue and donated money raised to them as well as bringing such a large audience the attention of a great rescue! While I was there at least one dog was adopted! The bartenders were very friendly and accommodating, always asked if they could get us anything.

    There's a lot of sunny seating. Just a bit of shade up by the canteen.

    I love the concept of a park with a rotating selection of food trucks, entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere. But 9 Mile Garden has a couple more miles to go before hitting that mark. On the day we visited, we checked social media first to make sure there'd be food that everyone likes. Unfortunately, when we arrived at 10:30 am for Sunday brunch (served 10-2) only four of the eight trucks advertised were there. None of the vendors we were hoping to try was present. I know things happen, but it would be great if the Garden folks would update their website and FB when they do - if you're gonna post a schedule, post updates. We would've tried a different day if we'd known what was (and wasn't) really there. **EDIT: I've been directed to an IG post from Sunday morning that lists just 4 trucks; I don't know why they didn't share that with their FB audience. As noted in other reviews, drink prices are crazy high. And there's no recycling available. Not reviewing the food here, since that's up to the individual trucks. While we're all privileged with our mobility, I did notice that there doesn't seem to be a clear, paved path for anyone who's not. There's a concrete drive for the trucks, but the gate on that is closed. I didn't notice any reserved parking spaces for mobility-challenged folks, either. The majority of seating is at picnic tables in an open field of Astroturf, and there's some shade up by the Canteen. I'd give this another chance to check out other trucks and entertainment, but knowing that my mobility-challenged friends are not included, I probably won't be back until I hear about those necessary updates.

    went to 9 mile garden for food trucks, drinks, and 2000s music trivia. My family and I had a great time. We got food from "the best wurst" truck which was great all around. Everybody I was with liked their drinks which was a range of wine, on tap beer, etc. The service at the bar was good and we won a few discounts on our drinks from winning in bingo. The people coordinating bingo were also fun.

    I wanted to like this place...love it, even I do not though. #1 they do not provide ample parking but most importantly -- THEY HAVE NO DESIGNATED DISABLED PARKING. This made it impossible for my wife to come with me to obtain food and drink. For that reason alone, 2 stars. In this day and age, it is extremely important to honor and promote equality and diversity. This outdoor arena does neither. We opted not to order and just left. Inclusivity in food grumps doesn't matter if is also not created in the space for patrons to enjoy. A very disappointing experience for what looked to be a lovely morning to have brunch outside with my wife and pup. Being from the south, we would have loved to try the shrimp and grits, but not to eat in our car.

    Ask the Community - 9 Mile Garden

    Do they check purses and bags to get in?

    Bag checks are not required; however they do have rules posted on their website and at the garden of prohibited items.

    Do you recommend bringing chairs or a blanket for the live music?

    I always pack a blanket in case tables aren't available! Picnic style is the way to go here.

    Where is the parking lot located? I drove by and saw a small lot. Is there a larger lot somewhere or is it off street parking?

    There is a small parking lot in front. Street parking behind it.

    Some people dont use social media. Why arent the daily trucks posted ON THE WEBSITE like it says?

    I'd call them and let them know the calendar plugin on the website isn't working. This isn't… Read more

    Are they still doing trucks at night?

    Yes, they are still doing trucks in the evening. They usually go from 5-9p, but some nights if it is slow they are leaving a little earlier around 8ish.

    Finally get to try the brick and mortar location of Sando Shack. The last time I had their Sando…read morewas so long ago. Their Maplewood location was big and spacious. I really liked the decor and the cool vibe. We ordered the spicy chicken katsu Sando and it was delicious. The meat was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Sando came with the side of fries. We got the togarashi fries and they were so addicting. Fries were not as crispy but very well seasoned and went perfect with the aioli sauce. We also tried the pork katsu rice bowl. I didn't like the sauce as much as the chicken Sando but it was still pretty good. I liked that the rice was well-cooked. You must try their ice cream. I would have come just for it alone. They have a good variety of flavors. My favorite was the miso taro and the yuzu caramel. The staff were very nice to us and the food came out quick. Highly recommend you guys checking this place out.

    Very cool spot in Maplewood to add another option of food to their already diverse shopping strip!…read more Bf and I stopped in right when the snow started and got almost the entire place to ourselves. Clean restrooms and friendly staff, very important to me and this place has both! Owner or manager greeted us upon arrival and asked if we had been in before or needed any suggestions from the menu. I asked about the ice cream choices and considered saving room despite the cold outside...but sadly missed out and didn't get any at the end. Bf got the regular chicken katsu bowl and I went with the pork tonkatsu sando. Similar flavors but just depends on if you like using your hands or working with a fork. Feel like he got the right choice (but you miss out on bread if you go with the bowl) I think our favorite part was the fries, great seasoning and perfectly crisp outside.

    First time coming in on a Sunday while my daughter was at the dance studio and had an hour to kill…read more When I first got there the big table was taken by a group of ladies and there was one other gentleman sitting at the bar on his laptop. Was happy to see that it wasn't crowded as I sometimes get anxious in a crowded place especially when the space is small. I was greeted once I went up to the counter. Not soon after I get up to the counter more people started to come in so I felt rushed and since it was my first time I wasn't expecting to be so many options that I panicked and just ordered the first thing I saw on the menu. Think it was a dolche latte maybe. Got it hot in a 12oz with almond milk and quickly checked out as others were behind me. I st down in one of the chairs by the door since I had an hour to kill and wanted to wait till I got the chance to go back and look at the rest of the menu. Little did I know that the place would just get busier and my time was up and had to leave. I did enjoyed my short time there while sipping on my late and watching my Kdrama and my late was really delicious. Now that I know about this place I will continue to visit while my daughter is at dance. I'll be back!!

    One last stop in the STL area before heading home -- coffee, of course! This place was the choice…read moredue to its proximity to a family member's house where we had breakfast together. I arrived early at around 8:15. This is a relatively small establishment with a small parking lot. It looks like they have a trailer available for mobile coffee service too. They were fairly busy and it seemed like only one person was working. This made the wait a bit longer than I expected, but the employee was working very hard and making good time considering she was alone. I enjoyed listening to the alternative music and hanging out in the store. It was clean and comfortable. I ordered one of their March specials, the Peanut Butter Guts, as I love coffee and peanut butter together. I also ordered a cookie from Cookie Hustle (which I think is like a sister business housed under the same roof) -- a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Sounded so good! I enjoyed my coffee drink. It definitely had a detectable and enjoyable peanut butter flavor, as well as the mocha. I think it was a tiny bit heavy on milk for my preference, but overall it was tasty. I ate the cookie later and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect chewy snickerdoodle texture and lots of yummy spices. I wish I'd gotten several different cookies to try more! When I showed up at breakfast with my coffee, my family remarked on how much they like this little shop and keep coffee from here at their house for special occasions. High praise! If you're in the area, give them some love! :)
