Frisco Rail Yard

Absolutely loved our visit to The Frisco Rail Yard! It’s such a fun and lively outdoor spot with a full bar, great location, and live music that creates the perfect atmosphere. There are several food trucks, but the highlight for us was Baur & Co Burgers. we tried their Oklahoma-style onion smash burgers for the first time, and they were hands down the best and juiciest burgers we’ve ever had in Texas! Our entire family, including the kids, was amazed — the burgers were so good we couldn’t resist ordering more! The loaded fries were also incredible. The quality of the meat and the flavor were on another level, unlike anything we’ve tasted before. Normally I love taking pretty good photos, but we were so hungry and excited that we just dove in I only managed to snap a quick shot before everything was gone! Just a tip: Baur & Co Burgers aren’t there every day, so make sure to follow their schedule to catch them next time they’re at The Rail Yard. Highly recommend this place & if you see them, don’t miss the chance to try those unforgettable onion smash burgers. You’ll be hooked!

I make the trip to the Frisco Rail Yard just for the Oklahoma-style juicy burger from this Baur&Co Burgers food truck—it’s that good! Smashed thin on a sizzling griddle with caramelized onions, this juicy beef patty is stuffed with tangy pickles, fiery jalapeños, gooey cheese, and more onions, all packed into a soft bun. Every bite is a bold, addictive explosion of crispy, creamy, and zesty flavors. Served in the gritty, vibrant vibe of the rail yard, this burger is pure perfection and worth every mile. Track down this food truck—you’ll be hooked! Everyone should try!

Super cool spot with a couple of really good food trucks. Family friendly but in that same sense there are a lot of kids running around so be aware. The drinks were good and the bar staff were all very friendly. Not to long of a wait for any food item and there was live music playing. The taco truck was by far the best and I tried all the food trucks.

We love the place. They have live music on weekends. The bar serves good beers on tap and in bottles. They also make awesome cocktails. The staff is very courteous. They have few food trucks in the yard that have decent food options. Very good place to have few drinks and some bites. We love the lights and the ambiance. Must go place and its kids friendly.

They have some really great live music and it's FREE! Can't say much for the on-site food trucks. They're not top notch by any means, but if you don't mind "less-than-bar-food", they serve their purpose. Family friendly. Dog friendly. Sand vollyeball court and an area to coral the kiddos while the adults enjoy a beverage and some tunes. If you're there on the right night, you can catch the fireworks at Toyota Stadium following a soccer match.

We’re not from the area, but have family in Plano and visit Texas frequently. After several failed attempts of trying to visit due to the Rail Yard not being open, we were finally able to, and had a BLAST. This is the go-to spot if you want to relax, have a drink, and enjoy the incredible atmosphere this place brings. During the winter when it’s cold, they’ll even give you blankets upon request to stay warm. Food was great, and the trucks gave a lot of variety to choose from. We loved it so much we came back a second time with family- only to find it closed again, on a saturday night too… So we had to settle for another place to eat, again. The Rail Yard is truly awesome, and if it is open, it is worth every second to check out. However I wish they were more clear on their hours of operation, as it would have saved us a few disappointing drives.

What a fun place to spend a Saturday night! Family friendly, fantastic food trucks, beer on tap, casual rustic outdoor patio feel- they even have sand volleyball, a play area for kids, and corn hole! And did I mention, LIVE MUSIC! Come for a slice, a taco, a crepe, nachos… whatever makes you happy, and stay for the evening!

Not family friendly for smaller kids (under 10). Going down hill. Last few visits owners are less friendly. Seems they don’t want kids here. Our last visit a few weeks ago was terrible and this was made very evident. On our second to last visit we started to hear them complaining about kids using the hand washing station / playing in it and running around. Which I am sure can be frustrating. Not sure why they didn’t realize ahead of time a giant trough with water and rocks is going to attract kids attention. Suggestion, would be small hand washing sinks closer to the restrooms. All that aside… we go in March and they’ve put in sand volleyball courts with sand all up and down one side. Again, not sure why it’s hard to predict this is going to attract kids. They did semi-try by having a small sand area designated, but with recent rains that was all full of water. This left an area right by the courts as the area that kids were flocking to. There is a small sign that said to not enter the courts or go on the stairs. Could not see at all even within 10 feet. Then the owners took up issue with a lady (I didn’t know her) not watching her girls, but they continued to have no problem serving her several drinks. The other issue they were having that night was kids using things like cups to fill up water to take to the sand. This again led to the large “troughs” being played in and even concerns about sand in them. Again, not sure why it was hard to predict that kids would attempt this, and with those troughs so close that sand was going to get in them. They are allowing kids to play in sand and even with being watched closely hands have to be washed off somewhere. Then, saw them start to be very vocal to several kids. At one point one of the owners thought my son was playing in the sink, and said to my 3 year old that parents weren’t watching their kids. Upset, I confronted her, and she tried to say she was speaking to another adult. Furthermore, my friends daughter who is 7 (not the child the owner was worried about filling cups with sand) also told me that one of the owners told her she needed to do something, and that she needed to listen because she owns the place. Adults don’t typically speak to children they know know in such a manner. I had to actually ask that they only speak to us the parents until we got our things and left Overall, drinks are somewhat over priced (mentioned in several reviews), food is not great (also mentioned), and after this last experience we are not going back. EDIT: Re Owner Response: there are more sides to all stories. FYI, I watched closely what was going on with the 7 year old girl mentioned. It is mentioned in my review that you all had kids filling cups with sand, but it was really only this one girl. I want to reiterate I also watched to see who her parent was. We didn’t know her or her mom (my friends daughter mentioned in my review was not this girl). We figured out who her mom was, and after being frustrated with this girl, you continued to serve her mom a lot of drinks. Multiple customers expressed concern she was over served. My issue was never that situation. The issue was that my child was told, or within (1 foot) of an owner stating “children” weren’t being watched. This was an unprofessional reaction. You all were probably frustrated with the above, but you could have asked them to leave. This impacted at least 3 other families, who had nothing to do with the situation. It is not your job to to watch children. You can ask patrons to leave that don’t follow your rules, and you can remain professional. You can seek to remedy things with those that do follow your rules, and might have been negatively impacted by these sort of events. That’s the point of this review, thought it important for you to learn at least from other customers vantage points that evening. Unfortunately; your response sounds like a justification towards all customers that might have indirectly been impacted by your unprofessional reactions.

I'm not sure what to make of this place. After having walked around the farmers market, we were still looking for the perfect meal. We walked over to check out their offering. It was quite limited. There was probably one truck that offered anything substantial as a meal. Everything else seemed more like snacks. Although outdoors and has an open area perfect for play, it didn't seem very family friendly. No balls nor running allowed. Personal water bottles weren't even allowed. Dogs are welcomed though! The place had a bar in the center of the entire place. Even the specials are all centered around alcohol. Very misleading to advertise it as a family friendly place with good food.

Kid and pet friendly. Kind staff. Quick service. We sat in the "no kid zone" but still saw kids sitting in the area. There are specials everyday except Saturday and also a live artist.

Awesome place. Kid -friendly, dog-friendly, boozers-friendly, family -friendly, singles- friendly. Great thoughts put throughout the property including enclosed patio, outdoor handwashing stations, ample parking, plenty of seating, basketball arcade game, volleyball courts, sandbox for kids, and even a little library! Food trucks provided variety of options and we enjoyed the jerk chicken food truck! Will be back if we are in the area.

When the weather's good, Frisco Rail Yard is ideal. Outdoor tables with plenty of space and dog friendly for well behaved pups. Enjoyed the food options that day! Tacos were awesome. I tried a little bit of everyone's order and couldn't find anything bad or to complain about. Service was on par, lots of drinks options. Overall, a great casual gathering spot to chill!

What a great place to enjoy Old Frisco. The music was great. The drinks were nice and everyone in our group that had food from the different places and they all enjoyed it! This is one to keep on the list of great places to take out of town guests. The pets are welcome to as long as they are behaved.

Nice place to get outside for the evening and live music is great. Good place to take a family. Need more variety in the food trucks though with Asian offering or more healthy options. My chicken cilantro lime sandwich was inedible because it was so salty. But plain nachos were good. Didn't try the cocktails.

It felt so good to be outside with my man, listening to live music and enjoying drinks on a Friday night. Frisco Rail Yard is a great little place!We have been living here in Frisco for a year and always pass by. Last weekend we finally stopped in. We'll for sure have to bring our dog next time as it is dog friendly1 My ONLY complaint is that I so wish that there were more food truck options. I had brisket and cactus tacos and my boyfriend had pulled pork tacos from Cactus Cafe. Then for dessert we split ccookie dough from Dough Box.

Love the bands and bartenders are great. Food is on food trucks only. Great cookie dough. New pizza place heard it was good. I'll try next time

Cruised by for a beer with my boo. I have seen the place packed on the weekends but this was a Wednesday. The place has a really nice vibe and they were playing good backyard BBQ music. They had corn hole and some food trucks but we did not eat although it smelled yummy. The beer was cold and pretty cheap. Tables are spread out so plenty of room for small groups. Live music would be really cool since they have a small stage. Restrooms were also surprisingly clean which is great. Will try the food next time.

Not as lively and loud as the Dallas and Colony Truck Yards, the Frisco Rail Yard seems to be more of a local hang. From families, to young couples with dogs, to your occasional massive sports' team post-game. Their food and beer selection was pretty choice, tons of local and the service was super fast given the crazy weekend afternoon.

Unfortunately, we'll likely be back. Hoping not to hear the manager scream the F word at his staff going forward, especially at 5:30pm in the evening when there are families around. It was really embarrassing how the manager was acting. As a 'family friendly' place they are really lacking some basic management skills. This currently is the only place in Frisco that has an open space like this. If someone could open a different one up - I'd love to give them my business instead.

Great bar & vibes! Allyssa the bartender was awesome, and eager to please. Will definitely be back!

I absolutely love the Frisco Rail Yard. Great atmosphere. Always different food trucks to try. Live music on the weekends. The staff is amazing. I love that you can bring your whole family, including your dog.

FRY is such a cute little gem tucked away on Main St. I was looking for a dog friendly patio bar with live music and tumbled upon FRY. This place is perfect for all ages, kids and even dogs! Their website is pretty updated with event info. Loved the drinks, the live bands and the ~chill~ atmosphere. 10/10 would come back! Yes, they are pet friendly!

I really like this place. It is a chill spot to bring your dog, listen to some live music, and have some beer and snacks from the food trucks there. The staff is friendly too.

I want to preface this by saying we didn't actually eat or drink here because, although they advertise themselves as family friendly on Facebook and have a large outdoor area, they have signs everywhere saying no balls, no running no playing,etc. There is one small indoor building that houses the bar where kids are not even allowed inside, so definitely not good for a chilly day. If you are looking for kid free fun I'm sure this is a great place, but if you have kids and you're looking for a fun outdoor place to go with your family this isn't it. I didn't want anyone to waste their time like we did after seeing it advertised differently. If you don't want kids around that's fine, I love some kid free time too but don't advertise it as if you do and not allow them to play outside or even enter your doors.

This is a really neat outdoor music venue! We came her twice for the same concert, as the first go around got stormed on. We went to see Maelyn, winner of the voice the first Saturday of June. It's a pretty easy location to get to, and has a decent sized parking lot, plus a field for overflow. We parked in the overflow in a small compact car and got to the venue. Through no control of the staff, the sky caved in as the concert started and they had to shut everything down. Getting out of the field was a nightmare, as we were in a tiny compact car! We got out okay, but some people had to get towed! I was so happy they rescheduled, the the following Friday, we got to see Maelyn sing, and we brought our kid sized suv instead! The venue is all outdoor, not a lot of space to hide from the elements! On a nice evening it was perfect, but if you go when the sun is at peak height, come prepared with coverage and sunblock. The food trucks change I think daily (they were different each time we went) and The Caboose is the only one that stays the same, as it's owned by the rail yard and basically just serves concessions. The middle part of the venue is a bar that we did not order from. A pink drink called a train wreck seemed to be the most popular thing to order, but a pitcher is $50! Comes with lots of vodka though. The food choices are a bit overpriced, as to be expected with food trucks. The most affordable option is the caboose, but your only choice really are nachos, hot dogs, and frito pies. They have dessert options as well but mostly just ice cream. I would recommend eating somewhere else (lots of cool restaurants along Main that are worth checking out) and saving your money on drinks or merch from your favorite artists.

Such a great space! I came on a Friday for lunch. My son's and I were heading to the video game museum and wanted a fun place to eat before hand. As we passed by my boys said "Mom, stop we want to eat there!" I thought it was a strange place to eat, but in a boy's mind it looks like an adventure. The first food truck we went to was owned by the 5th street patio. We all had the shrimp po boy. The prawns were deep fried topped with a tangy sauce on a toasted hoagie. It was perfectly cooked. We accompanied our po boys with fries. They were hot and crispy. Our next venture was to the rail yard's food truck. We finished off our meals with root beer and coke floats. The owner was walking around to see if everything was all right. My boys asked him if he could set up corn hole for them to play. He was happy to help. It was a fun place. I can't wait to go back.

Wow what a atmosphere! We had an amazing employee I believe his name was Taylor, he took care of us all day and I will be back because of it. Great people, great time, great vibes. Highly recommend!

We love Frisco Rail Yard!!! It's one of our go-to hang outs nowadays. It's easy to spend hours there but also super convenient if you just have a little time to kill in between things. Our kids are in sports that happen to be all over so when we are on that side of town and are in between events, we like to stop off here and have a quick drink, some food, and let the kids play some games before heading off to our next thing. Much easier and much more entertaining than going back home to drive all the way back to games/practices! Sometimes they have Lobster Maine there which is my husbands new favorite, but they have some good options there for kids too. Friendly bartenders with good drink options too! I like to follow their social media pages to stay up to date on what's happening though so I'm in the loop.

This was HIGH on our list because its outdoors, its pretty, and my dog would LOVEE it. So just to realize its not for dogs. So why is an out doors dining area not open for dogs? Apparently and I quote, they allow " 40yr old drunk moms and their screaming children run around physically bumping into tables" Why cant my dog be allowed on leash?!?!

Got food from all 3 food trucks are were disappointed by 2. Thought there would be more trucks. Loved the steak and cactus tacos. The dough box pizza was good but the special, spinach, chicken and artichoke dip was a miss. It was served cold. Hot dog from caboose was just a plain hot dog on a dry bun. Ambience was good. Staff were constantly cleaning and ready to take away any trash. There was a band on stage but didn't hear any live music. Not sure what time the band starts. We left at 7:15.

We visited the Rail Yard for the first time last weekend as many of our friends rave about this place. The atmosphere and seating is great, the drinks are also great, but the food truck options need improvement. We purchased "chips and queso" from one food truck, which was really a tray of tortilla chips with plain, unflavored nacho cheese poured over the top - more like bowling alley nachos. Then we purchased two corn dog kids meals for our kids, but the corn dogs were simply not the best quality. They don't heat up very well, with the breading falling off when they get hot, and don't taste very good. I then decided to try a pizza from one of the other food trucks. I had high hopes, but was very disappointed with the pizza. The sauce and cheese were terrible, and the dough is barely tolerable. My suggestion: Eat before you visit.

I went on a Saturday evening to catch a drink with a friend and check out the live band. The band itself was not too great but that wasn't the businesses fault. I've noticed other great groups who have played there so just need to find a better night! The place lights up nicely once it gets dark and has a good vibe about it with string ball lights and fans kick a mist with the breeze which help beat some of this Texas heat. The trains passing by are also kind of a cool background addition. For a Saturday it was shockingly slow. We went at 8 and left around 10:30. Drinks were ok priced but kind of on the small size for a margarita. The food trucks are a nice perk because you can grab a quick bite which you just hang out. There are different sized tables so its great for a smaller group or larger. We didnt have issues getting our own table but that could have just been the slow evening making that happen. Look forward to seeing more shows there. Wished the crowd would have been a little bigger but maybe the place just needs to get more visible for a good beer out night scene?

Definitely worth checking out. Food, Drinks & Live Music, the Frisco Rail Yard has all three. It's a family friendly place and has a rotating line of food trucks to give you a variety of food and drink choices during your visit. The live music is good and mixes well with the overall atmosphere. We tried the pizza from the Yummy Spiedies Pizza Truck and enjoyed every bite of our Pepperoni Pizza and Chicken Parmesan Stuffer. Good Food and a fun place to take the family. If you are driving by and wonder if you should stop in, just go with your gut feeling and visit the Frisco Rail Yard.

What a great atmosphere! If you visit, you have to stop by the Dough Box or the Caboose and ask for Kylie. A+ customer service from her. Awesome food, awesome service, definite must-visit in Frisco!

I came here with a group. We enjoyed the drinks, the variety of food choices and the music. We would definitely come back.

It took me awhile to come check this place out due to weather, but on this perfect night I thought it would be extremely crowded. The parking lot certainly appeared that way. However, this place can hold more than you would think. I was pleasantly surprised that the wait was not that long for any of the 4 food trucks. There is an outdoor handwashing station which is perfect since you are eating food and this way you don't have to go into the bathroom if all you want to do is wash your hands. The one line that was long was for the permanent desert shop, which sells ice cream and other treats. In addition to that stand, the bar is another permanent fixture. We were able to get seats in the bar area (kids are okay there) and the drinks are not too overpriced. There was a band playing that was really entertaining. This is wonderful place to spend an evening or afternoon. A great addition to Frisco and my only complaint is that I wish the bathrooms were more permanent.

Kudos to the owner's of 5th Street Cafe for taking a risk on this grand idea. It opened last year with only a couple of trucks with limited variety, but the potential was clear early on and now there are at least six trucks. There is a full bar offering a few craft beers on draft. Prices are reasonable for food and drink. They have added several umbrellas and sun shades along natural shade trees throughout provide plenty of cover for summer time. Live music early evening and a fair amount of open layout makes this a family friendly to do. I do wish they would put in a playground.

This place is so cool!! I went to it the first time with friends from church. The food trucks are quite good I have eaten at different ones. The drinks are reasonable. It gets busy. The down side is the food trucks close around 9pm. Feel like they need to get ones that stay open till 10pm. The musical talent is constantly great bands they know how to work the crowd. The restrooms are small but clean. Great atmosphere overall it is just super fun!! Great to bring the whole family. They have giant games such as cornhole and giant connect four and Jenga. I brought my cousin from Oklahoma for the live music.

What a unique concept right near Main Street Frisco! We stopped here after an FC Dallas game and was stoked to see something like this. They have lots of parking and an adorable space to sit, drink, eat and play (literally, they have a huge Connect Four game and more!) They have a covered area where the drinks are along with some tv's so it's an untraditional place to catch a game without subjecting yourself to a packed bar. I'm not sure if they have a rotating schedule or food trucks or just the same ones but I'm inclined to stop back again while in the area.

Great new spot with lots of potential. The location is great right at 1st and Main street and finally brings food trucks up to the northern 'burbs. There's lots of seating, a bar hut in the middle, a fixed little stand with ice cream and things like hot dogs etc. in one corner and then there's room for 3 food trucks. When we were there only 2 of them were open and they didn't have the best options for food, but that can be easily remedied the more this place is established and shows more well known trucks that there's business to be made. Anyway, especially now in fall this is a great place to hang out and enjoy the afternoon or evening with the family!

I went for the first time this past weekend and we had so much fun. We went to the bar right when we walked in and the bartender told us about all of the trucks and what to expect on different days. Super knowledgeable and so fun to talk to! We had the cactus and steak tacos, the shrimp tacos and the loaded tots from Cactus Cafe. All amazing! The loaded tots are a must. We will definitely be back thanks to the great food, atmosphere and service!

Worst place in this gawd awful state I've ever been in the 6 years I've had to exist here. Between the bartenders being rude to over charging me this place is a frigging joke. They begged for a tip. Nafc at least the band was tolerable. Though they need to learn some lowell george. I'll eat dog crap before I ever come here again

Came here for breakfast on a Sunday. Paid $4 at the Caboose for what I thought would be pancakes and sausage. Ended up being pancake batter around a sausage. It's a cute concept but hard on my wallet. UPDATED: came her for dinner. There were a lot more trucks to choose from. We first tried the Great Australian Meat Company. We had the potato head which was a shepherds pie with a puff pastry on top. Yummy but was really heavy after a few bites. Comfort food at it's best. There was also the loaded baked potato with steak (Anna's). Basically steak, gravy, sour cream and cheese over a baked potato. Then we had The Dock. Crab cake sliders and Thai Dynamite were excellent. The staff was also very friendly. The only problem was that it was extremely crowded on a Saturday night so the bar line was long and it was hard to find a place to sit.

We went on my birthday and were kinda disappointed in the lack of options. The food from the two places - we got one dish from each was less than amazing. The pizza was mediocre at best and my hubby wasn't impressed with the Puerto Rican food truck either. The edible cookie dough was yummy but so sweet. We couldn't eat more than half of it. It was a nice atmosphere and would have been more fun with live music - if they'd had it on a Thursday.

Just not a fan. Kids running around bumping into tables, food is average and prices are high. No service personal, want a clean table and the people before were slobs, sucks for you. So many other choices in downtown Frisco, you don't have to settle.

The reasons I need to remove stars actually aren't the fault of the establishment, but still impacted my experience so I feel it's fair to judge. 1) It's very busy and there are two spots to order alcohol. The lines were so long at one point that it would have been easier to just get back in line after you received your drink because you'd finish it by the time you came back. They need servers like Truck Yard has. 2) It's far too kid friendly. Sorry. That's terrible. Hate on me for saying that, but really some adults treat this spot like a playground where it's appropriate to let your kids just run wild. Treat it like a restaurant or bar where other adults are trying to have conversations or walk with drinks/plates of food. 3) The food trucks do not appear to appropriately stock for the day. Every single one of them was out of something we wanted. We'll probably just find a patio over going to this place again. FYI-- it's not dog friendly, for reasons I do not know.

Very easy to find, conviently located off the major highway, good parking situation. This place is super great for kids during the day/night to run around. Lots of food choices and a bar in the middle. We had 5th st patio tacos and another places frito chili cheese pie. If I had room left in my stomach we would have ordered some cookie dough. Overall fun atmosphere and a must with kids

let you know. it's a great place. food is good. service great. live music on weekends great. they have bands not solo or duo acts. awesome place.

Great concept and solid execution! Good family-friendly spot for live music on the weekends. During the week it is a bit quieter, but they have great happy hour specials, and there is a corn hole league on Tuesdays which is a riot!

Came here to pre game before an FC Dallas game at the Toyota stadium. Beers were nice, cold, and priced around $5. Did not try any food, but for the purposes of pregaming and chilling, it was great. Note that it's a family friendly place, so we saw lots of kids, dogs, and parents hanging out. Live music was a nice touch too as well. Definitely gets more packed in the evenings.

I love the concept and the location. Quite a few rotating food trucks gives you variety. Live music over the weekend. I'd give 5 stars but 1. It's extremely kid friendly, even late night. And 2. I asked for reservations which they actually post they take on their website and they just helped me find an open table or offered to throw some folding tables up in the back. A lot of the tables have chairs that are the wrong height for the tables. We went for a band we hadn't heard of and couldn't locate at all through Google, YouTube, social media.. it would just be good to know in advance what we're in for.

We went on a very slow Sunday afternoon but we had a great time. The Trails drink was my favorite the bartenders were super friendly. Too bad I live in California or I'd be back!!

Kid food and they were rude af. The pizza was super small and bad but the taco place had sizable portions. We were having a school banquet and we asked them to turn off the music and they turned it louder even tho we reserved the spot... very cringe not Pog do not recommend

The reason we chose to go to this place is because we thought it would be similar to Truckyard without having to drive the distance to get there. Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed yet, so we weren't able to take our dogs. The trucks that were scheduled that day were a huge let down. Out of the group of 8 of us, I am the only one who got something that was somewhat decent. Not the best selection of food trucks. It was extremely hot this day as well, so if you didn't have a table with an umbrella, it could be a beating sitting out there. I will say, the bartenders were great, they were quick to get your drink order, but I can't say I loved this experience as a whole compared to Truckyard.

Such a fun relax place to go. Good food and drinks great environment. Games for the kids to play or adults..

We LOVE this place! Great Layout! Great Food Truck choices! For me the only reason I'm giving it less than 5 Stars is the lack of Craft Beer Selections but other than that this is a favorite place for my wife and me to hang out!

This is a very nice and quaint farmers market with farm fresh produce and various other booths. Nice place to bring your family for a weekend lunch.
