Central PA's Premier Barbecue Food Truck Catering: Elevate Your Event with Smokin' BBQ!

Let's get one thing straight – in Central PA, barbecue isn't just food; it's a tradition. And not just any tradition, but one that's as deeply ingrained in our culture as the Susquehanna River runs through our valleys. That's why, when it comes to catering for your event, settling for anything less than the best barbecue food truck catering is like serving pretzels without mustard – unthinkable! You don't want your guests to be greeted with the disappointment of what passes for "barbecue" at some places: meat that's as dry and lifeless as a mid-summer drought in the Pennsylvania countryside, masquerading as "juicy" thanks to a deceptive pool of liquid that's nothing more than the tears of its own culinary failure.

True barbecue masters, especially those who navigate the bustling food truck scene in Central PA, understand the art and science of delivering perfectly smoked meats that are as tender and flavorful as a fresh-picked peach from a local orchard. It's about more than just feeding your guests; it's about providing an experience that celebrates our local flavors and traditions. When you choose top-notch Uncle Eddies BBQ, you're not just making a meal decision; you're unlocking "Boss Mode" for your event, showing your guests that you value quality, authenticity, and the rich barbecue heritage of Central PA.

Food was good, I enjoyed it. Food truck prices across the board is high, but so is everything else. I would purchase again at some point. Thank you.

The brisket and pork sandwiches were delicious. The potato salad and Mac and cheese were also good just a bit heavy on salt but of course it was eaten. Will definitely order again anytime we see Logan's food truck

Really good brisket. Mac n cheese was very good also. I would like to know how to find your truck outside of Boeing.

This is our favorite food truck. Everyone in our family loved it, including the toddler. The food is obviously amazing, but the portions are large as well. Top tier. It is the standard by which all other food trucks will be measured in our house.

Not so much liquid for the sausage sandwiches. The roll gets soggy and you can't pick it up without it falling apart everything had great taste!

Very good sauce. Really good brisket and mac n cheese. Unfortunately the portions are small. Ordered the brisket/mac n cheese. 1 piece of brisket and a cup of mac n cheese for $15 not incl tax.
