food stand

Outdoor meal counter

A food stand is a small, often temporary setup where food is sold, typically outdoors or at events.

Unlike restaurants, food stands usually offer limited menus and no seating: We grabbed tacos from a food stand near the park.

The term covers everything from hot dog carts to farmers' market booths to carnival concessions.
