9 Mile Garden

Very nice layout!!! The food here is all from food trucks, I like a lot of food trucks I want them once or twice a week at work. But the quality of food at the Cuban food truck, that they serve here was sub par. Decent variety, but the quality reminded me of an elementary school lunch. Even the liquid cheese for the French fries I had was gross. I paid $16 for a chorizo style brat and French fries with the cheese that wouldn't coagulate. I expected it to be edible. They had a band playing on a nice looking stage, a sitting area on some big landscaping rocks, picnic tables, beer garden outside, it was impressively clean, and a good size dance floor. They had people playing cards, board games, cornhole, etc. The music is at the perfect volume, still jam out and hold a conversation with a group of people with our having to yell. A inflatable mister for those hot days, clean bathrooms outside near the stage, a gazebo away from everything so if you wanted to talk quietly. If we can get some decent food in there, this could really be a hopping spot!

Please change the overhead lighting that is creating astigmatism for all. Other than that, this is a super fun place for hanging out. Live music, several food trucks, bar, lots of seating, places for the kids to run around. Huge TV screen with the game on.

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.

Awesome venue. Kind of shocked more setups like this haven't popped up around town. To the right you have the cantina which is an enclosed open space with lots of table tops. When the weather is nice they open up the garage doors for added experience. In the middle you have the turf field with more tables and umbrellas. A huge TV screen that shows baseball games, a stone amphitheater, a small stage for bands, and nice bathrooms. On the left is where you find all the food trucks. Great place to hang out on a nice afternoon. Practically all local beers on tap. We parked right in front on the cantina and got here before the trucks opened, but as the night went on the parking lot filled up quite a bit. This was on like a Wednesday afternoon/evening. 2024 update The beer feels aggressively expensive. A 20 oz Guinness cost me $12. Feel like they should be more on-par with a nice bar. Still cool vibes though.

The idea is wonderful and the layout was pretty good. We attended the Octobeer fest and the place was decently crowded, but not so packed that it was uncomfortable. Parking was a bit tricky as the parking lot is pretty small, and we didn't want to take away parking from neighboring businesses, but we lucked out and managed to find a spot on the street. "The Canteen" was disappointingly understaffed (it looked like there was just one person at first, and only 3 servers later on) for the event. We waited in line for about 15 minutes just to get up to the bar. We ended up just getting back in line again so that by the time we finished round 1 we would be able to order another. The servers were doing an amazing job, there just weren't enough of them to keep up with the demand. We also planned on grabbing a bite to eat while we were there, but the selection was lacking. Initially there were only 2 trucks offering meals (as opposed to desserts and such) but one ran out of food, mid-dinner rush. Since 9 mile garden has a no outside food policy, we ended up leaving the event early to have dinner elsewhere. Having only 1 food truck for a place that bills itself as a "food truck garden" seems a bit of a stretch

I had an absolutely wonderful time at this cool spot! It's got a relaxed vibe, a great bar, delicious food trucks, and a sizable screen for entertainment. A lot of room to sit around too! And fun games like Cornhole, and others! Plus, the parking situation is a breeze, making it all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend checking it out!. I will go Back too!

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We've tried food from so many different food trucks that serve from this location. Our faves are Wok N' Roll (pictured: the Wok N' Roll appetizer sampler) and Taste-D Burger. These two crews know us well enough to have offered t-shirts to us, which we proudly wear. The venue is perfect for families, pet owners, sports lovers, arts and crafts fair shoppers, and anyone who enjoys live music or trivia. They're always having some event going on, and it's always a good time. I've seen people of all ages, backgrounds, and mobility enjoy their time here. And it's nice because 9 mile has a great staff who will answer any questions, are timely, and keep the place looking spotless. The big entertainment screen is great quality, the bathrooms are clean, the Canteen has great alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Can't recommend highly enough. Bring your friends, and make sure to stop by often to catch all the trucks!🍔🚚

What a solid first trip here. My wife and her girlfriends had been here several times before and always enjoyed themselves. We dragged a couple friends with us to celebrate my birthday and had a good time. The weather didn’t fully cooperate but we made the best of it. There’s quite a bit of parking available on either side of the “road” where the food trucks park though I would still recommend you get here early. 9 mile garden has a very solid social media presence, so you’ll want to go there for food truck listings and links, as well as status updates if the weather looks sketchy. There’s a drink tent outside for soda, water, etc and several beers and stuff. The cantina just next door has what appears to be a very full bar. I think there were 6-8 food trucks that night, mostly dinner but there was a dessert truck. As best as I can tell, they all take plastic or cash. There are quite a few tables, lots of people chill on the rocks, but I’m glad we brought our chairs. Band was nice (again, info on social media) and the bathroom is centrally located. Seemed to be very kid friendly and I saw folks watching the game on the big screen opposite the stage or playing corn hole. I will definitely be back! :-)

Great place for larger events and groups. They host game nights, movie nights, trivia nights, concerts and so much more. Pet friendly. I've had a nice ti time each time I've gone. Great for all ages and family events. Their instagram is always up to date with current and upcoming events. Large parking lot and restrooms available. Do try. Recommended.

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

We came for the Taylor Swift dance party and had a blast. The food trucks and the selections were amazing. The drinks were awesome. And they had great vendors with goodies for everyone! What stood out the most was the customer service. We had a table with a fire pit. Our firepit had an issue and the team at 9 mile went above and beyond to make it right. What makes it even more impressive is we didn't complain. They just wanted to fix the problem. I was so impressed. I cannot say enough about the awesome staff and how kind they were and just how fun the event was. We will definitely be back! 100/10

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

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.

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.

Smaller spot that's great to hang out with family & friends! They have rotating food trucks outside and alcohol/drinks indoors. Lots of seating in and out - the bands play on grass turf. Food we had was Vietnamese pork belly and a bánh mì, both delicious. We love to meet up here with friends.

Zero chance I'll be coming back here. 1) everytime we've tried this place, the parking is absolute garbage. 2) Brought our 3 year old for the "Bluey" event and as I'm walking up, I see some guy tell another dad that he has to take his water cup back to the car. No outside food or drink. As the guy protests about it being water, I realize I have my coffee tumbler and so I turn around and take it back to the car. An outdoor "food truck garden" where you can't bring your own water or coffee?? Strike one. But 3) as I walk back, I'm now stopped and told that my dogs water has to return to the car. It's a collapsible bag with a roller ball on top for a dog to lick. Clearly not a human water bottle. I ask, "I can't bring water for my dog?!?" I'm told no. I turn around, to take it back to my car, and say to myself "this is asinine". I'm then called back to the entrance and told by that same employee "don't come back sir" When I ask why, I'm told "this is a family friendly event and we don't allow curse words." And also, that I was being "combative". Asinine js not a curse word. And how is walking back to my car to comply, "combative". Strikes 2 and 3 Clearly someone was having a crappy morning and decided that I was going to be the person to take it out on. But they ruined the morning for my 3 year old and for that, I can't forgive. When my wife tried to email them about what happened, they doubled down on their employees behavior. Took zero blame, didn't apologize for the employee, nothing. I can't not recommend this venue, or staff, strongly enough.

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.

Great drinks, very stubborn staff. Requested NBC inside channel 3 times and each of my efforts was met with washed up reasons why they couldn't change it. Don't come here if you enjoy sports outside of soccer

Love the food trucks. 40 different drink options on tap, live music, trivia, movie nights, darts, disc golf, outside and inside seating and so much more!

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.

Came for the Sunday market! Great outdoor and indoor space, Tried the Best Wurst food truck and it was tasty. Enjoyed the Canteen and their homemade cocktails. Good place to hang out, watch sports inside or outside and being friends or family.

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.

We attended an event at this location. It was a private event, but, I was scolded for having a water cup (so they hate the earth) and we had to vacate earlier than expected due to another event scheduled later in the evening but they needed to set up for. Our event was a celebration of life and the stress of being shoved out early was not okay. Management did nothing to help us get out early, only barked orders. Wouldn't recommend.

Just walked in to see what it's about thanks to the awsome girls at the bar ! I'll definitely try to Make it back here

We arrived at 9 Mile early to get some tables for a family birthday party before they got too busy. After being seated at 2 picnic tables for 3 hours my family was approached by manger Tonya and told that, despite having no signage or it being mentioned to us at any point over the previous 3 hours, that these tables were reserved and we had to leave. We replied saying that there was no way for us to know they were reserved, and there was now no where for us to go since the place was packed. Tonya promptly called the police to have our family, with out of town relatives and small children, removed from the picnic tables. There was no attempt to make this situation right by us, who were being removed from our tables by no fault of our own, instead they chose to involve law enforcement and turn the blame on their customers for their error in not correctly reserving tables.

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.

This was a fun spot to watch the games, have some yummy food and drinks! We hung out in the cantina and played board games while listening to some great Karaoke. The drink selections were top tier and they had a lot of variety to keep anyone coming back. There was only a couple of food trucks so keep that in mind when going there. The servers were polite and great at giving suggestions for drinks too!! They have an outside turf and vendors for kids/ppl to play games so it doesn't matter when you go it'll be a great time.

I had a nice time at 9 Mile Garden last week. My friends and I have been hosting virtual happy hours since March, but decided to have our first social meet up at an outside venue and this was the perfect spot. We arrived on a Tuesday around 5 pm and the place was not very busy. We were all able to grab a drink in the Canteen (masks required inside) and then we found a picnic table outside to sit at. Throughout the evening, the place was getting more crowded and we knew that we'd have to leave soon. One friend and I decided to check out the food trucks for a few snacks and this is where it started to feel like "too much"! The lines were forming and people were not really leaving space between one another. Crowds were beginning to form and a few people were mask-less (not eating or drinking...just not wearing a mask). This made me uncomfortable, but I was at least able to walk away and find a less crowded space. I am not sure how anyone can really control the crowds here though since it is a lot of open space. Food trucks are popular so I get why lines form, I just hope people realize that they need to keep at least a few feet apart from one another while waiting in line or while waiting for their food. Some trucks give pagers which can be helpful (when they work). But most trucks just call out names for your order so you do kind of have to "hang out" nearby. I think this is a great concept and pre-COVID I could see myself here all the time. I think that if I go again, I will need to arrive right at 5 pm to get my drink and order food to go. The crowd just makes me too nervous and knowing that there was a crowd on a Tuesday night only meals the weekend will likely be even busier. The bartenders were great and offered some good recommendations for what I was looking for. I found a really tasty cider which was the highlight of the evening! Great concept. Great space. I just wish COVID was not a think we all had to worry about.

Okay, this place is freaking cool. I'm not sure how I had never heard of it prior! On a weekend, there are TONS of food trucks to choose from, anything you feel like, they have it. It was awesome! They have a beer section with canned beer options OR local on tap. Again, anything you want. Live music, plenty of space to pop a chair and chill. Definitely going to be our new summer hangout!

This is just what Affton needed! What a great addition to the neighborhood! There is so much positive to say about 9 mile. First off, the food trucks - the rotating options for lunch and dinner have offered more food choice variety to the area. I love having all these delicious options. Next up, beer - all local craft beer options! You can get cans of beer outside at the tent or walk up to the Canteen for a looong list of beer choices. They also offer locally sourced cocktails. Staff are friendly and service is fast! I also love the set up of the Canteen - many tables inside and large garage doors that open to the outdoor patio. There are many places to sit at 9 mile - tables, adirondack chairs, grass and rock tiers. You can also bring your own chairs along. The bathrooms are also great especially during COVID times. No doors and you go around a wall to the stalls keeps the fresh air moving! The sinks, soap and towels are outside and sinks operate with a foot pedal - perfect! 9 mile also has a stage for bands, a big screen for movies and sports games. Things to know before you go- check out their social media pages to find out what food trucks will be there that day and it also will tell you the lunch and dinner hours. The only downside that I have found is that if you go during the day in the hot summer sun there is not much shade, so bring sun protection.

This would not be my typical place, lots of people, kids, dogs and food trucks. But if I still had young kids, I'd likely be here every weekend. But my review is for adults... Hubs and I went on a Saturday night for a Cards game followed by a STL City Game. Sat on a blanket, got food truck food and had some really decent cocktails (considering they are on tap rather than made to order). Weather was perfect, and it was a fun atmosphere to watch the game.

Great selection of food trucks when we were there. Brought lawn chairs to watch the St. Louis city soccer game

Pretty cool place! They have an indoor section with a bar and they have food trucks come in to feed the folks in the park! This Is a really cool concept and awesome for when it's not super hot and super cold. A great place to meet friends and just hang out. They do tons of events! Check this place out!

Great place for lunch and dinner! A cool rotation of local food trucks that changes every day so you can get a little bit of everything. Plenty of space to sit, very dog-friendly, and lots of different outdoor events happening each week (live music, trivia, baseball games on the big screen). There's a bar on the property that's open even in the food truck off-season. Very spacious and great for groups! Happy hour specials and drink specials are great! Seasonal beers and wine look great - I always go for the cocktails. It's an easy place to drop in on multiple times a week to get a different food truck and a different cocktail! We've been to some of their events and always had a great time. Something to note - the attendance of food trucks can vary! A lot of things come into play - the weather, if the truck breaks down, traffic, etc. Definitely disappointed when I go looking for a specific truck and they're not there but keep in mind this is NOT 9 Mile's fault! They have no control over the trucks and their circumstances. Be kind! Staffing is hard right now and it seems like the trucks are all doing their best to meet needs - we always have a positive experience from the folks here and will continue coming!

Fantastic place for food truck, entertainment, hangout, and drinks! My boss told me about this place but I did not know it's located in the middle of a busy area with minimal parking. Don't let that stop you though! Some people are literally just here for the food and leave immediately after they get their order. Have some patience and a spot will open up and you're on your way to some fun, delicious times! I invited a friend of mine to hang with me and grab some food and drinks on a Saturday. It was busy, there were 4 different food trucks there but we decided on Seoul Taco. There was also Abigail's fashion truck where I found an amazing dress from! There are plenty of picnic tables/seating outside, some music, and drink tents! We took our food to the canteen where it was air conditioned, not to mention a closer walk to the drink refills at the bar. There's outdoor public restrooms if you feel like enjoying the outside! An actual restroom, not a portable one so that's a huge point for me! Around 2pm, the food trucks drove off but we enjoyed a couple more drinks and I shopped the fashion truck. Needless to say, I had an impromptu epic time even though we planned the meet up last minute and neither of us really expected much other than having lunch and a drink while we catch up. If you haven't been here yet, give it a try! You won't be disappointed.

I'm so happy that I was finally able to make it to the 9 Mile Garden food truck park. What an incredible concept. Nestled into a the Afton neighborhood here in St. Louis, this amazing park offers foodies an extraordinary outdoor dining experience. Each day they are open, 9 Mile Garden offers a different lineup of the hottest food trucks in St. Louis. It's a place that you know you're going to be able to find your favorite truck at some point during the summer. We were lucky enough to go on a night when Essentially Fries was parked in the garden. Who doesn't love french fries smothered in gourmet toppings?? The Moroccan chicken french fries we had transported us back to our vacation to Marrakech. During COVID times, 9 Mile Garden is the perfect place to spend an evening out with friends. They have ample space to distance yourself from other folx eating dinner. The tiered seating offers many spots to sit and enjoy your meal. We wanted to catch up with our friends Johnny and Maleah, both of whom are not comfortable eating out because of the pandemic. However, because of the openness of 9 Mile Garden, they really enjoyed their time and we were able to enjoy some sense of pre-pandemic normalcy. Definitely give 9 Mile Garden a follow on their social media. That is the BEST way to stay up to date on which food trucks will be featured each day. I fully intend to keep an eye on their page so that I can hit the trucks again soon. One note, be mindful of parking. At peak times it can be somewhat bonkers. Not sure what the policy is in the neighboring businesses, but definitely be careful to not use spots meant for customers trying to get into other shops in the area.

My wife and I had such a great time here, brought our camping chairs, got 2 pitchers of beer, each of us picked a different food truck (I got This N That burger and fries, super good!) and enjoyed some music and fresh air. We will definitely be coming back asap.

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.

The idea of this place is GREAT! It was smaller than I'd expected... Not sure where people would line up if they had a full house for food trucks! The canteen is nice, though I wish they'd offer more cocktails. The food trucks I ate at weren't all that great, but that's for their review, not 9 Mile Garden's. OH yeah, they need more parking!

9 Mile Garden is a welcome addition to the Affton neighborhood. 9MG brings together so many things that help make St. Louis a great place into one unique spot; from local beer to excellent food trucks, you can't go wrong with a stop at 9 Mile Garden. When you first arrive, you will notice The Canteen, which provides limited indoor seating and a small patio, and a bar serving up some local drinks. Next, you will notice the large open area as well as the hill that provides more than enough space to spread out with friends or family after you pick out that perfect meal; best of all, you can catch up on the Cardinals (or Blues) game on the big screen too! The most important part of 9 Mile Garden is their rotating selection of local food trucks; there is always something for everyone. My favorite food truck has to be Red Dirt Revival; however, you will never have to worry about what to eat when visiting 9MG. There are usually anywhere from 4-6 trucks available, so the selection is never a problem. My only complaint is that parking can be tricky during peak times, pay attention to where you park, and be respectful of neighboring businesses.

We came here for a private event for my work, and had such a great time in this unique venue! There were about six food trucks, a dessert truck with ice cream and popsicles, and a drinks table. It was fun to have a movie playing in the background on the huge screen. As the sun set, they took out giant heaters that were actually effective in warming up the tables. There's plenty of space for my kids to run around and play on the steps, And we enjoyed taking photos near the murals. The only downside was that we had to wait a long time in different lines for the food trucks, but that is to be expected with any food truck.

Perfect for the pandemic. Thank goodness for 9-mile garden. Even the kids loved it. Everyone is wearing masks and the staff are actively reminding everyone to wear their masks. Typically 4-10 food trucks will park ranging from desserts to pizza and burgers. You then can order from any food truck and plop yourself down in the park like setting and dine. Their is a counter where you can purchase sodas and beers on tap. Mostly local brews. Saturday evenings they have been showing movies and this just completes the ambiance. We should have more places like this in the STL. Hard to predict which food trucks will be there. The lineup changes daily but can be found on Twitter and FB. Bring your blankets and lawn chairs. Love this place and hope to come here on a regular basis. Stay safe!

9 Mile Garden is such a neat venue and always a good time! This dog-friendly spot hosts food-trucks, live music, yoga and more. You can stop by for a snack or a whole meal! They post their food-truck lineup daily on their Instagram and have info about daily events on their website. On a busy night you can expect to walk a bit from your parking spot, but there is usually parking available within a reasonable distance. There are clean restrooms available both outside in the garden area and inside the Canteen. Really enjoy coming to this spot with friends on a nice night with our pups! @amyeatsanddrinks

We hosted a couples baby shower with family and friends here and the staff were helpful and friendly and made planning and throwing the event very easy. The building is open and bright and they have a great winter catering option (Saint Louis Pizza and wings, who were also great to work with for the event!). The ambiance was perfect and they had a great beer and drink selection. Highly recommend!

It would be great if they actually had accurate information posted for their hours. Just wasted a trip driving here, only to find out that they're NOT open on Mondays.

9 Mile is perfect for gathering with loved ones! I appreciate their effort to be inclusive to people of all ages. I have been for brunch, lunch, and beyond and have never been disappointed. Tips for visiting: + go early to claim parking and a space to sit (tables are limited) + get in line for trucks early to avoid waits!! + bring your own water - they do have fountains for refills + sun screen is a must on hot days + check their instagram/social media to see the lineup of trucks and events

First time and so far I love it. They have a nice setup with AstroTurf in front of stage area: circles are drawn on turf to remind us to stay social distant. Food trucks (rotating lineup) are on 1 side and canteen is on the other. Beverages are available both outside and in canteen. It is well lit and lots of young families as well as more mature types. Ha There are 2 parking lots so that is nice. I guess on Friday nights they have a band and Saturdays are movie nights.

Cool outside lawn area, bring chairs and watch a game. No outside drinks allowed, but drinks and food trucks available

I want to love this place but I just don't. The parking situation is AWFUL. They don't have any recycling options. The food trucks always run out of food. There are always kids running around everywhere like it's a playground on recess. It's almost impossible not to get hit by a ball or ran into by a child not paying attention. If you get there early enough, or if you're one of the parents letting your kid run loose, then you might have a better experience than I ever have.

What a fun area to go out with family and friends. There is a canteen with indoor seating and it has many local drinks on tap! The outdoor seating provides multiple options and an area for children to run around. The love music gives me Virginia Beach vibes. On a day or evening with good weather going out to 9 mile garden is a perfect outing. You can check their Facebook and social media starting at 9:00 am each day to see which local food trucks will be present. The options will allow for anyone in your party to decide on something.

This is a wonderful concept and a nice addition to the St. Louis area, especially while COVID has necessitated outdoor and socially distanced spots. The lawn is artificial grass and painted with circles for families or parties to sit in to ensure social distancing. There are picnic tables but they fill up quickly. You can also bring your own chairs or sit on boulders in a landscaped area. The food trucks are hit or miss, and there are different ones there on different days, even changing between lunch and dinner. We've gone twice for lunch and learned to go early because the lines can get pretty long, especially on weekends. That is my biggest gripe about food trucks. The Canteen is great if you're in the mood for a beer or two.

First off this is a dope idea period. A space where local food trucks can just post up and serve foodies like myself I love it.. 9mile garden is a cool concept. I didn't get to try the canteen where they have many draft beers on tap, a.c. & games. But I came for the food i got blues fired pizza & Havanas cuisine which was both good but Havanas was excellent. There was two other trucks but I wasn't really interested plus it was hot as balls and I'm not standing out there no longer lol. Outside there's good shaded seating, water fountains & restrooms & a huge TV for movies or sports events. If u like all kinds of food and don't mind standing in line to get it check out 9mile!

When they first opened it was great. You could pop by for lunch or dinner and parking was easy and the trucks were great. Since then as time has gone by the trucks are still great, but the parking has become very problematic. I've been by several times during lunch and during dinner hours and there is no available parking on the lot or on the street. I'd love to go to the garden on a regular basis, but if I can't find a place to park anywhere nearby I can't go. I've stopped wasting my time even driving down there. I love the place, its just a shame they didn't think the parking situation through.

Nice spot for food trucks and a fun atmosphere. A little crowded and sometimes backed up if the food truck lineup is limited. But worth checking out!

Have been wanting to go here for quite some time! Saw this truck and decided today is the day! lol Love zia's salad Lunch outing with my oldest son!! Will definitely be back! Bomb food ( always changing variety of food trucks) bags, and outdoor entertainment!!!

I really enjoy the variety and ambiance of 9 Mile Garden. With a permanent Cantina and the space for a rotating set of food trucks, there is something to meet you needs. In the cantina, there is indoor seating and a semi-private upstairs. They also have a variety of outdoor tables and spaces-- tall tables, picnic tables, adirondack chairs around a fire pit, open space to bring your own or have a picnic blanket. This is a great space to grab a drink after work, get food with the kids, hang out with friends.

Love this concept, I think STL has needed this for awhile. Outdoor seating, events, booze, and food options galore. I can't wait to see how this place blows up in the summer.
