GastroPark is an indoor and outdoor foodie playground with a super relaxed atmosphere that's open year-round. If you haven't been here yet, this should be an absolute add on to your list this summer. There's literally something for everyone to gather and graze. Super fun for the whole family and dogs friendly too. Local food trucks with a diverse selection of food, drinks,desserts. Love the communal outdoor seating with live music, a great concept! Be sure to check their instagram for a list of rotating trucks and schedules

GastroPark is an indoor and outdoor venue for food, drinks, and desserts. It's super family and dog friendly. There were plenty of parking when we went on a Saturday around lunch time. There were plenty of tables and chairs outside as well as inside. Restrooms were available. The food trucks were parked outside; Smetana, Grassroots Ice Cream, Hindsight BBQ, and East-West Grille on Wheels, were there. Inside, there was a bar that also served hot dogs and various of other foods, Small State Provisions (baked goods), and Alvarium Roasting Company (coffee). The place was spacious and service at the bar and various vendors were good. There were plenty of options to choose from. Overall, we loved the place, concept, and enjoyed our time there.

Gastropark is a great place to hang out with friends and family. Gastropark has an indoor and outdoor space and they also have a variety of ever-changing food trucks at the park. They have a selection of cocktails, craft beers, and wine. I haven't tried any food from the food trucks but I had a drink called the Painkiller. The drink was so delicious and if you had any pain, you wouldn't after this drink. I would definitely come back to taste the food at the food trucks.

First time at GastroPark and I loved it! They have rotating food trucks every day and I tried the special platter at Hindsight BBQ's truck which included smoked Turkey breast, lolli-pop lamb chops, bedazzled coleslaw, and (they ran out of the Mac and cheese so we substituted for their) French fries. I just realized while I'm writing this that they did not give me my cornbread, which is a bummer but I'll give them benefit of the doubt that they forgot. The food was delicious and seasoned well. They had plentiful outdoor seating, and a table with swinging chairs which was super fun. They also have indoor seating which is air conditioned for hotter days along with a bar. Their happy hour today (Sunday) was 4pm-close so we enjoyed their sangria with our meal. So good overall!

I finally made it to Gastropark, and I was very happy with the variety of vendors that I found there! Chef Sil's Vegan Kitchen was a vendor when I visited, as well as Grassroots ice cream! We also stopped into Small State Provisions for almond croissants and chocolate babka to take home. It was nice that there were seating options both inside and outside. Definitely a nice place to hang out!

Gastro Park and their rotating selection of food trucks has quite a fan base, including my family, me, and our pups. Generally there are three trucks each with big gracious, smiles just waiting to serve. Inside the Gastro building (converted auto shop, guesstimating circa 1920-30's) housing their full scale bar, Perkatory Roasters, and Small Plate Provisions. The restrooms are clean and well maintained. In chilled or wetter weather they have tables and sharing is encouraged. Back to outside, between the building and rounded-up row of Foodie Trucks and pea-stone beach! Picnic tables, swing seats, oversized wire spool tables, and plenty of leaning space to eat, drink, socialize, and play some games. We have rented some outdoor space for a 30th birthday gathering on their upper terrace, equipped with additional tables, seats, and a fire pit. Gastro Park is extremely convent for us to visit. Their friendly vibe for young ones, older, and fury ones, has made this our favorite goto for light bite (sometime heavy bites), beverage or two, and a fun social environment.

This was such a fun place to hang out on a beautiful Saturday. We enjoyed everything we tried and we loved that it was dog friendly. Will definitely be back.

Very cool spot in West Hartford with a fun concept. It's got a brewery type vibe with a nice patio area outdoors with various types of well thought out seating areas. A rotating selection of food trucks are parked adjacent to this area and serve food for lunch, dinner and into the evening. Inside is additional seating and a bar area. Occasionally bands will play on one end of the room. I love that they promote original music here. The food will largely depend on what food trucks are there. Seems like two different ones during the week and three on weekends. They seem to be well curated for quality and variety though. In addition to this they have a small burger and fries type menu inside. The tap list is very solid here featuring a nice variety with many local offerings. The regular staff here who run the bar and deal with general operations are great. Very helpful and friendly all around. Check their social media for food truck and band listings and go check this place out!

String lights and plenty of seating.

GastroPark is fun local space that hosts a variety of food trucks. This is the home of Small State Provisions bakery and Perkatory Roasters coffee. Inside is also a bar, with local beers, wine and cocktails. They also host local artists work every other Sunday of each month. They even have live music on some days! This a very inviting space! There's a table here with swings for seats, you can play corn hole and bring your dog and your kids. It's a great place to meet friends and support local food vendors, and or artists, depending on the day. During the cool months they provide heating for outside seating, and the inside is still an option. This is another excellent addition to West Hartford. I can't wait to go back!

I've waiting for nice evening to finally check this space out. I was finally able to go last week. It was a Thursday, and there was live music - a man playing the guitar. It was nice! The atmosphere is very laidback, and the space is nice. I ordered a fish taco from the Hot Taco Street Kitchen truck and then a chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese bites from Craftbird. You can go inside and order local beer and cocktails. Their cocktail menu was so unique! I ordered one made with apricot and vodka and it was so refreshing. There are a lot of tables of all sizes, in addition to indoor seating. I'm looking forward to visiting again!

Brisket Philly Empanadas
Alberto C.

How can you go wrong with a a food truck part when you have options for everyone! Today we chose Hindsight BBQ and Lobster Tails food truck. Just an fyi, the gastropark is home to many food trucks and you never know which truck is going to be there. Hindsight BBQ: ordered the Brisket Philly Empanadas and the Pull Pork with Mac & Cheese.. The empanadas was a great choice, the meat had great flavors and the shell was just right not too doughy. The pull pork and Mac & cheese was another good option but the bbq sauce was just ok. Lobster Tails: we had the CT Lobster in a cup. I was a little bit hesitant ordering lobster from a truck but the lobster was great! No need to drive to the shoreline when you can find Lobster Tails around the corner. This was a perfect outdoor seating option on a beautiful summer day. The service was fast and staff on both trucks were super friendly.

Blueberry Lemon Thyme Mocktail that I made a cocktail with a shot of mezcal
Shanice G.

This concept is super cool and much needed in the area. I went during the day on a Friday in time for happy hour - it was pretty empty but they had 3 food trucks lined up. I was super impressed with my drink - I turned their blueberry, lemon & thyme mocktail into a cocktail with a splash of mezcal. It was delicious. The bartender was superrrr nice I wish I remembered his name. The vibe is dope and very picturesque. Highly recommend sliding through

It was a pretty special Valentine's Day at The GastroPark this year. Not only were Glizzburgers on the menu, but the one and only The Vulgar Chef was there to hand deliver his one a kind creations! Ever been in a situation where you had to ask yourself, "Should I have a hot dog or a cheeseburger?" The Glizzburger is here to save the day. Trending Food Report 2024- no doubt! The Glizzburger inserts a burger right in the middle of a hot dog on a mayonnaise griddled Portuguese roll using meats from Connecticut's very own Martin Rosol's Meats. And then there are the toppings! -Poor Man's Poutine- potato sticks, Land O Lakes American Cheese and Bear's Smokehouse Brisket Gravy! -French Funyun- Caramelized Onions, Funyuns, Dijon Mustard, Ketchup and Land O Lakes American Cheese. -KMRO- Ketchup, Mustard, Relish and Dried Onion. -The Classic- Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Ketchup, Mustard, Pickles and Land O Lakes American Cheese. I think it was a tie between the Classic and the Funyun for me! The pickles on the Classic really brought it home :) There was even a Down and Dirty martini with a Slim Jim heart on the menu. True foodie love at it's best on a holiday celebrating love :)

This food truck was parked at the Gastro Park in West Hartford on a Saturday. I am a fan of lobster…read moreso I was excited to try them out. There were plenty of lobster dishes on the menu; from lobster and hot dog, lobster grilled cheese, lobster roll, and more. There were dishes up to $50 plus dollars. My husband had the lobster and hot dog, he said it was delicious. I had the lobster and shrimp grilled cheese. There were plenty of chunks of lobster and shrimp. The grilled cheese was loaded and cheesy, it was better than I expected. I am a fan! The fries were crispy and the people working there were nice. If you're a lobster fan and see this food truck, I highly recommend.

My favorite time of year? The moment I get to head back to Lobster Landing…read more There's just something magical about this place. Tucked right on the water, it's a peaceful, no frills seafood shack where you can sit outside, watch the boats glide by, breathe in the salty air, and let the day slow down. It's New England summer at its absolute best. Everyone talks about their famous lobster rolls (and for good reason because people travel far for them), but I'm a clam chowder girl through and through. And let me tell you: Lobster Landing has the best clam chowder I've had anywhere. It's creamy, fresh, loaded with clams, and the corn is sweet and crisp like it was just shucked that morning. The vibe here? Super laid-back. Pretty sure it's BYOB, and people come prepared. The picnic tables are almost always full, but somehow there's always a seat when you need one. The staff is always smiling, and it never feels rushed. Just chill. If you're looking for the perfect coastal stop this summer, this is it. Bring a friend, bring a drink, bring your appetite, and prepare to fall in love with Connecticut shoreline dining. If the line is around the corner, slather on the SPF and catch a tan. It's worth the wait!

It was the Calabria Mia ("CM") Truck, which I've previously noticed on GastroPark schedule. At least when I visited, they were serving sandwiches ranging from $7.95 to $9.95. I ordered the $9.95 "Lo Speciale" with Salame, tomato sauce, mozzarella and spicy Calabrian peppers. I'm not sure if the sandwich is called "Lo Speciale" or that just means it was "The Special". In any event, it was on a 4 inch-ish by 4 inch-ish artisan style roll. I liked my sandwich. Each component seemed very high quality, and the flavors and amounts were well balanced. The Calabrian peppers packed manageable heat. I'm not sure everybody is going to see CM's sandwiches like I did. Many people are used to CT Style Giant Grinders with many levels of meats, toppings and condiments in a huge grinder roll for around $10. CM's sandwich had thin, but impactful, layers of each ingredient. Some people will see the CM sandwich, at $9.95, and note that it's maybe 1/8th of "the stuff" of a Giant Grinder. Mind you, CM is not going for that. They care more about the quality of the ingredients. I'm sure after reading this paragraph, you already know how you're going to feel about Calabria Mia. They have my recommendation, but they won't be for everyone. 4 Stars

"Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy…read moreNothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy" (Mary Wells) We took a morning coffee break, and had a wonderful time chatting, relaxing, sipping our drinks, and enjoying the friendly, mellow, and very chill atmosphere at the Café by New England Coffee Guy. They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!

Not too sweet but not bitter either. We talked to the owner for a little bit and he was very nice and personable. We will be back in the summer with our dog to sit out on the patio.
