I just recently came here for the first time with my family as we are new in Petaluma, everyone that worked here was so welcoming, helpful and friendly. There were three food trucks to chose from and a bar as well (margaritas were phenomenal) we went with the pizza truck that I cannot recall the name of at the moment but absolutely LOVED it, so tasty, would recommend to anyone. The atmosphere is super cute, we can't wait to go again. read more

Love it!! Ok so I am already a huge fan of El Roy's so its a big plus that I can now get my favorite tacos AND a choice of I don't know maybe 50 or so beers to go with my tacos. I love The Block, it us a great place to meet up with friends and family. No judgement about how long you stay and food choices for every palate. I love the concept, and I love the vibe. read more

Ok this place is awesome. A few blocks from downtown, a beer garden with a variety of great brews, surrounded by several food trucks with varying cuisine. If El Roy's parks here I highly recommend you eat there. The Block's Facebook page shows the different trucks that will come in on each day. The Block is an awesome and chill place to enjoy a pint, cheap food, and sunshine surrounded by wooden furniture and bocce ball sand. read more

The Block - A view of the beer garden. There's also an indoor area. - Food Trucks Near Me - Petaluma, California

Great place to relax and unwind and even show off your skills at trivia on a Thursday night. Casual atmosphere and food truck options.

Food - 2 options on Saturday night BBQ $13 for a few cuts of tri tip on slaw in a TINY appetizer bowl. GREEK $9 for the taste of raw onions on a chicken gyro. Lacked flavor. Needed hot sauce or slap of hummus. Save ur $ and go to El Roys taco truck beforehand or get takeout from a restaurant. It will be cheaper & tastier!! Limited parking and they will tow your car. More heat lamps would be good too. Overall, it's an industrial hangout spot w beer & some food. There's other beer gardens with better food. read more

Nice place to hangout and be social. The first time I went it was trivia night. That was a lot of fun.

5 STARS!!! This place is a true gem. I can't wait to go back next week. The pizza is through the roof. Everyone at the Block is always in the best mood. Cheers read more

Great place and great people! Trivia night on Thursdays is alot of fun! I can even bring my dog! Just stay away from "The fuel" food truck. Multiple times it's taken more than 40 minutes to get a grilled cheese or chicken sandwich. They don't applologize or even warn you that it might take a long time. 40 minutes for a grilled cheese? Really? On the other hand, the wing man's food truck is awesome! Great food, great service! Good peeps! Thank you wing man! You make my Thursdays so wonderful! Wish you were there every Thursday! And you kick the fuels food trucks ass! read more

We went last night to meet some friends and the temperature was perfect, they had great service and food as to be expected. This place is awesome it has such a industrial/Petaluma charm. You got to try it out The pizza is great and the ever changing food trucks are alway fun to try out. read more

Great vibe fun place , the food trucks rotate but there is a full time pizza maker that is awesome

Great concept- outdoor seating with fires and heat lamps. Unfortunately 2 out of 3 of our meals were very blah. The Greek truck was very disappointing- how do you mess up hummus? And crunchy anemic tomatoes and cold chicken kabob. The BBQ was also very lackluster. The pizza we had was decent and the cocktail was ok. Overall we left wishing we had just hit up the taco truck like we had planned. read more

Only seems like they have one food truck open or pizza at a time. But with that said the pizza was delicious, great bartenders, and lots of room for family's with some live music on the weekends. read more

We went on a Wednesday evening. I heard this place was all the rage. It was kind of slow with one food truck. We got a pizza and fries. The pizza was a thin crusted mess I paid $2 for a warm Sprite in a can. It was an all right place. It has limited parking. I can't imagine what it would be like on a weekend or Friday night. I guess if you like beer, don't mind crowds are searching for parking this is the place for you read more

I've never been to Petaluma and had no clue where to go. This cute little open air market had about 4 vendors and the most important thing is the drinks! My kids had firetrail pizza which was not for them because they are picky and expect pizza to be a certain way, but I thought it was tasty. My husband had a buffalo chicken sandwich from Jackie's Big Boy and enjoyed it. I ended up get a croquette slider, corn and chicken skewers at Yakai Japanese catering. My kids liked the skewers and the ahi croquette sliders were good. The means authentic Japanese bar food, Izakaya, and goes well with drinks. I had a Paloma which was just the right amount of strong after being in a car and setting up camp with kids. As far as pandemic response- there are a lot of tables. They aren't 6 feet away, but they did place a "cleaned" block on each table. There was sanitizer near the bar and there were signs to wear a mask when not eating. We would've hung out longer but it was getting a little crowded. It would be a fun place to hang on a summer night pre-pandemic when you don't worry about people next to you. I personally love when industrial spots get redeveloped into a place making destination. read more

What a fun place! The block has wonderful bands and food trucks that rotate. The bar keeps are fantastic! It's a great place if you want to bring your pup or children and very enjoyable atmosphere with their fire pits and fire towers to help you keep warm in the evening. I especially like their gluten-free pizza and fruit flavored ciders! Go have fun at The Block! read more

Bingo!! We attended Bingo night and hadn't been in awhile. I forgot how much fun it is!! The caller is such a pro and made the event 100% more fun because he's so awesome. It's very family friendly which great too. Also a nice way to enjoy the block while avoiding the weekend crowds. We will keep coming back to Bingo night just because of the caller. He's the best! read more

What a great destination The Block has become! It had been a while since I visited, and it was impressive to see the addition of the deck structure outside (used to be really dusty crushed granite or something similar). Great drink selections (they now have a full bar), with something for everyone. Seems like the food trucks always have some great variety read more

This is my first visit and it did not disappoint! 20+ Taps, food tents and trucks, open garden area, randomly situated in the industrial area of Petaluma. A great set up for great fun. Very kid friendly and open seating picnic tables. Today I had Pulp Fission from 3 Disciples in Sebastopol and a Fugli IPA from Oskar Blues.--Very delicious and complimentary to the brisket plate I had for lunch! We came up from Concord. It was well worth it! Cheers, amigos! read more

The Block is GREAT! It's the perfect place to meet up with friends and grab some food/beer. I've been a few times and I love that the food is always different but you can always count good Pizza if the food trucks aren't to your liking that day. The beer selection is top notch featuring local norcal pale ales- my fav. I always make a point to ask for a recommendation and I'm always happy with the result- great job bartenders! It's a good safe-space for kids to play while the parents relax. Tip: If the coffee bar is there- get one of their specialty espresso shots- they're a bit pricy but worth it. read more

Every town in America should have a Block. I love the vibe of this place. Super easy. Great wood fired pizza. A place where the kids can get their ya-yas out. Picnic style tables with heating lamps and umbrellas on the outdoor patio and long beer garden style tables under the awning (ready for all weather!). This place has it all! My only criticism is there aren't more regularly scheduled food trucks (and I wish they were open for lunch). I'm grateful there is at least delicious pizza you can count on, but ... need more trucks! read more

Never a dull moment. Good friend tends bar there so we've had some really fun experiences. One of our usual spots.

Petaluma is a sleepy little town where nothing is happening, where there is absolutely no reason for anyone to come here and check out the downtown area. Or so we would have you believe, mwahahaha. We now sport two - count 'em TWO - dedicated beer gardens in Ptown, and the new rival to Brewsters is handling it's beez. A really off the wall beer selection, and bonus points for a rotating cast of food trucks to come in and fill yer belly with goodness. (They do bake their own pizzas, which I have yet to try.) Unfortunately, the food trucks can create a bit of a scene when the place is busy, so be prepared to have to lurk around them for a while waiting for your order to come out - rough deal when you'd rather be sitting with folks enjoying your tasty beer. And beer is where you'll want to focus - these guys don't have a full liquor license (as of now, anyways) so the cocktails are more like fauxtails. Bonus point for having a kid's play area. Bonus point removed for said play area being basically a square of dirt with a bunch of old cut up 2x4s. I know that back in my day, kids went outside and made do with what they had, but they need to up their game here to rival Brewsters. Foibles aside, The Block is a groovy place that's well worth a visit. If you're doing it with kids, probably still better to hit Brewsters, but if it's adults only and you're on the hunt for legit ale and a ton of different food options, then the Block fits the bill. read more

The Block is a decent concept, but it could definitely use more vendors. You have your option of three foods trucks here - basic burger + fries joint, artisan pizzas, and wings. Under the canopy, you'll find their bar, which has a number of delicious taps, a few cocktails, and a small wine selection. Overall, you can bring your kids and have them shoot hoops while you have a couple of beers and watch sports under the canopy, but in terms of being the size of an Off the Grid or even SoMa Streat Eats, The Block is just adequate. There's also just the one bathroom, so you'll have to wait if it gets packed. read more

I'm sure our visit to The Block was a total anomaly. My husband and I stopped by on Labor Day with another couple, and we were the only people there. I'm told there is usually a large variety of food trucks to eat from, but there weren't any on the holiday. Thankfully, The Block has a brick pizza oven and made incredible pizzas! The four of us enjoyed our afternoon sipping our beers and sharing pizza. The outdoor seating was under a large covered patio. I think it would be an awesome place to have lunch when it's bustling with people and an array of food trucks, but we still had a great time! read more

This business has no legal parking for its patrons so beware if you park in the lot. There is no signage and security does not tell you you could get towed. I tried talking to the owner but he was extremely rude and actually hung up on me. He clearly does not care about costing his patrons money. I highly recommend not supporting his business. read more

DO NOT PARK IN THE PARKING LOT. YOU WILL GET TOWED!! Owners/security know this and purposefully put the cones in the wrong place. Thankfully we didn't spend any money here and will not be back. read more

I came here with a fairly large team from work for trivia, food, and drinks, and everyone had a blast! Julie is awesome - she helped me plan ahead so I could put all the drinks and food (from 3 different vendors) on one card, supplying us with wrist bands to make it really easy for everyone. She and the other staff were very accommodating and friendly, the cocktails and food were fantastic, and the person in charge of trivia did a great job. I highly recommend this location for a bigger group or even for a date. read more

I wish I could give this place five stars. The food and atmosphere are amazing... however, be warned!! the dairy parking lot that everyone uses and is always full of cars tows. $400 waiting for a poke bowl that was supposed to be a 20 minute wait but was ONE HOUR. I went to leave and my car was gone. I wasn't the only confused patron. There were numerous families with kids trying to figure out where their vehicles went. They didn't even have the decency to have the band announce the parking lot was off limits and people were subject to be towed. When numerous families went to ask the block they had no remorse or care whatsoever. They were well aware that cars would be towed and people had no clue. I take fault in the fact that I should have read the teeny tiny sign that was posted about towing. But the block is well aware that this is a common occurrence and has no regard or empathy whatsoever for their customers wellbeing or livelihood. $400 for an hour wait for poke. As a single mom, that is not something that one can afford!! read more

There are so many things I can say that I love at The Block that it would take me all day to write this review! I started coming to The Block a couple months after they opened and have been a loyal customer ever since. We come almost weekly! We mainly stick to the outdoor seating but considering that winter will be coming soon (and possibly more rain) I am not sure what their plans are for the outdoor seating area. Their rotating drink menu is quite good. I am not a big beer drinker but they always carry at least one or two ciders on the menu so I am quite satisfied. My two go-to ciders are usually the Two-Towns Ginga Ninja and the ACE Space Blood Orange. I have yet to have a pizza that I do not like at Firetrail. My favorite is the Pesto and Goat Cheese pizza but enjoy many of the others as well. My favorite food trucks are Croques and Toques, The Bodega, and Which Cheese. I have plans to try El Roy's as well but since that truck is there every night I tend to go with the other trucks that I don't see as frequently. I have it on good authority though from friends and family that El Roy's is not only amazing for the food but also amazing for the amount of food for the cost. If you are in Petaluma and you want a good place to hang-out with friends/family and try some good food, you need to try The Block! If you are looking for more of a restaurant style place, this probably isn't the best place for you. read more

My husband, pup and I went here on a Saturday night and were very pleased with our visit. We had food from the grilled cheese truck and the sushi burrito truck. Grilled cheese was great, but the tomato soup tasted like it was from a can. Sushi burrito was ok, not as much fish as i would have liked and broke very easily so it was a little hard to eat. Overall the feel was great with a great beer selection and a few wines to choose from. Would come back again for sure to try the other trucks and the permanent pizza place! read more

My fiance and I love the block! They always have our favorite food trucks and a wide variety of beers. The beers are are rotating too so you can expect something new week to week! They also have pizza which is absolutely delicious. The block is somewhere we feel completely comfortable and you can find us here usually every week, especially on trivia night. read more

The Block - Food Trucks Near Me - Petaluma, California

Nice late afternoon stop- great concept. We tried the $12 Prosciutto Pear Gorgonzola pizza (add $2 for greens) which was great. Impressive assortment of good beer on tap. Decent selection of fines by the glass. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We will be back! I think this place could be a great local spot. read more

Started off the night with just wanting to go out for a change, get some tacos sit down and have a beer. Wanted to try something new and I was glad I stumbled across this spot. The only possible reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars was the selection of beer, which was mainly IPA. While I think that the selection will rotate seasonally please have a more diverse selection, even the red ale was almost a IPA, lol. The food was great and a surprising selection, it was a pretty cool idea especially with the pandemic going on. Even though the beer selection was slightly lacking, there cocktails were so delicious. I ordered a Old Fashioned, and they cared for so much attention to detail, even though it was being served out of a plastic cup. I swear I could of just sat there in front of a fire pit and drank those all night. I really wish I could leave a 4.5 star review. If anything you want a decent cocktail, and an interesting vibe come here. I also kinda liked the almost cafeteria outlook of this place. While this place was busy it was it was nice to sit down with people you don't know and start new conversations. Everyone was wearing masks, and minding there space, but I was still able to interact with new people. I did go on a Friday so it was busy, maybe a 15-25min line to order a drink, and depending on your style I feel was worth it. read more

Food was good first time went but too crowded to get a beer. Second time I went, No parking! Drove around twice and there was no parking anywhere so we went somewhere else. Seems to be the same problem with downtown restaurants, too Thanks Cody! We will try again. read more

Have been here right when they opened during Butter and Egg days. Of course it was extremely crowded, and no parking available. Finally found a spot opposite to where the entrance was. We had the brick oven pizza, which was delicious. Never was able to get beer, since it was extremely crowded. We tried again on a Friday, a couple months later, to stop by, but never found a parking space in the small lot they have. Drove around twice, only to give up and go elsewhere. Hopefully the parking issue can be resolved, and we can try again. read more

It was ok. We went on a Sunday evening. The place is nice, I like the seating arrangement and overall vibe. The food choices were extremely limited. We had a choice of Mexican or pizza. My daughter wanted pizza, so I had to buy my 8 year old a $16 cheese pizza. I thought this was a family friendly venue, they should have some kid friendly choices on the menu. I probably won't go back until they have a more vendors with a better selection of food. Also, they should comsider having local artists playing music in the background. It felt like this was missing. read more

Great set up with outdoor and inside seating, 4 different food options and lots of good beer on tap.

Great concept and atmosphere, However the amount of traffic caused as well as the many cars coming and going causes for ALOT of frustration to the tenants that live near by. Great place. BAD location. That's why I gib2 this a 3* Rating read more

What an amazing and awesome experience, location, concepts, food and most importantly the beers. Fun for all not just me but also my kids enjoy coming here. Every night of the week they have something planned that's fun, switch out food trucks so your always getting something different. Keep up the great work! read more

Great spot! Dog friendly and very comfortable place! Lots of beers on tap and very nice staff read more
