First Look: Court Louie food truck court in Tower Grove South

St. Louis’ first food truck court, Court Louie, officially opens for business at 4001 Utah St. in Tower Grove South on Saturday, Jan. 20.

The court will be the semi-permanent home for four area trucks: Farmtruk, Go! Gyro! Go!, Steak Louie and Locoz Tacoz. As The Scoop reported in June 2017, Court Louie is the brainchild of Steak Louie truck owner Paul Listenberger.

Court Louie integrates the food truck and restaurant worlds into a single experience. Customers order indoors at the counter, which is divided into four stations – one for each truck. The food is made to order on the trucks, which are parked behind the building. Customers pick up their orders from the counter and grab one of 49 seats inside or another 25 on the patio.

Listenberger said at least two trucks will be onsite during lunch, and three or all four will normally park for dinner service. Other area trucks will make occasional guest appearances, too. Each truck will post when they will be at Court Louie on their social media sites.

Fans of roving meals need not fear. All four trucks will continue to operate on the street and at special events. Court Louie will be open Friday from 3 to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Here’s a First Look at what’s in store at St. Louis’ first food truck court.

Editor's Note: Shortly after publication, Court Louie changed its operating hours. The original article also included an incorrect opening date. The article was updated at 12:20 p.m. Jan. 22 to reflect those changes.
