“I just celebrated my bday at Trailer Park After Dark and reserved the small trailer for my party. Blake and the bar staff went above and beyond to make this night special for us and accommodated all of my requests...I was worried I was being high maintenance but they came through and hung up a pinata I brought, set up this birthday backdrop I dropped off to take photos in front of and they even had a photo booth they set up for us. Everything came together so perfectly! I couldnt have asked for a more perfect night! We all had a blast! You should def consider this place for any event or just a night out with friends. Thanks again TPAD!!“

We had meatballs and chicken and asparagus filled puff pastry; both I would highly recommend. The service was great, the owner chatted to us about Denmark and some food related customs. Great lunch spot!“

“The food was fresh, the portions were bigger than I expected. Arrive was quick and friendly. My son enjoyed his rare steak pho and (delicious!) coconut snowbubble. The shrimp spring rolls were light and fresh. The popcorn chicken was so-so (not as spicy as I expected). The restaurant atmosphere was modest, functional, and clean. The value of this meal was very high.“

“Soooo yummy 😋 thank you for the delicious fresh thai food 😋❤️❤️ i went walking around the liberty market and decided to buy thai and some pasta from another restaurant ❤️😎
They are both deeeelicious 😋❤️ . It was very busy but if you kept moving and looking at the same time it wasn't that bad . The staff at this restaurant were so nice and helpful and moving so fast to get everyone's order out 😎👍

Vegetarian options: They have veggies or tofu for the opinions

Parking: Big parking lot around the whole campus , and its free😎

Kid-friendliness: Definitely 😁 because kids love soup and noodles

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is but it gets busy in the market , so it might be uncomfortable“

“Loved the Gluten Free lunch menu options at True Food SD, but if you have an allergy to wheat, please be sure to double check with chef before ordering anything. GF is not always safe for those with wheat/oat/barley allergies. Waitress had a hard time comprehending this, but chef understood completely! Amazing chef! 💖 It would be AWESOME if the owner offered Soy milk in addition to Oat milk. (Couldn’t have coffee because of an oat allergy, and they have no other cream options sadly). Overall, beautiful setting and beautiful souls working the tables and bar. I’ll be back for sure! 💕“
