Truck is a casual neighborhood restaurant in Bedford, NY. It offers wholesome meals in a comfortable, vintage atmosphere reminiscent of simpler times. The name “Truck” partly refers to the restaurant’s location, which has historically been a rest stop for travelers and truckers along busy Route 22. The scenic route passes through small villages, climbs over the Berkshires and Taconic Mountains, and traverses fertile farmlands and dairy areas. The restaurant is located en route, awaiting deliveries from local truck farms. The name “Truck” also reflects the respect for the hardworking farmers who produce and transport food to the table.
Truck’s menu is inspired by the down-home cooking traditions of Northern New Mexico, influenced by Cowboy, Native American, and Mexican cultures. Chef/Owner Nancy Allen Roper, who grew up in New Mexico, shares her love for Southwest cuisine through the menu, which includes tacos, enchiladas, and signature salads made with locally sourced grass-fed beef, sustainably raised pork, and fresh vegetables. The restaurant’s “Power Wagon,” a house margarita made with top quality, 100% agave tequila, fresh-squeezed lime, and all-natural triple sec, is a must-try. In addition to margaritas, the drink menu demonstrates the restaurant’s commitment to environmentally conscious decisions, offering craft beers on tap and in aluminum cans, as well as red, white, and rosé wines on tap, all hand-selected to show that reducing waste doesn’t mean sacrificing quality and taste.
Truck’s design seamlessly integrates into the historical Bedford, New York landscape, making it feel like an essential part of the community.
