Every parent knows the challenge of taking kids out to eat.

You want something good… and ideally somewhere that won’t make you feel like everyone in the restaurant is staring if your child suddenly decides the booth is lava.

That’s one of the reasons families in Warrensburg have started loving Green Truck Delicatessen.

Located right on Pine Street downtown, this cozy deli serves up hot sandwiches on the same artisan bread made next door at Green Truck Bakery. And while the sandwiches are definitely the star of the show, parents appreciate something else just as much:

The relaxed, welcoming vibe.

Kids can enjoy a simple lunchbox sandwich, parents can grab something a little more adventurous, and everyone leaves happy (which is basically the gold standard of family dining).

If you’re exploring downtown with your kids — maybe after a library visit or a walk around the downtown — Green Truck is a great place to stop for lunch.

And don’t be surprised if your kids ask to come back.
