Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Charlottesville, VA

From packed Hoos football tailgates outside Scott Stadium to summer concerts at the Sprint Pavilion and wine festivals along the Monticello Wine Trail, Charlottesville knows how to throw a party. The secret ingredient that keeps crowds happy is a diverse food lineup—and nothing delivers variety faster than food trucks. Unlike the old-school tent kitchens that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, modern food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. They’re ready to serve thousands within minutes, keeping your guests focused on the Blue Ridge views and great music instead of waiting in long food lines.

Best Food Trucks is the local expert at coordinating multiple trucks for high-volume catering. Whether you’re planning a block-long celebration on the Downtown Mall, a corporate retreat at Boar’s Head Resort, or a graduation bash at UVA’s John Paul Jones Arena, we match your event size with the right mix of Charlottesville favorites:

  • Ricebowls Express – Mediterranean-inspired rice bowls loaded with fresh veggies and proteins. Perfect for fueling festival-goers trekking up Carter Mountain.
  • Blue Ridge Pizza Co – Wood-fired pies that pair perfectly with a glass of local cider at any Albemarle County fairground.
  • Royal Creamery & Icery – Small-batch ice cream and Italian ices that keep summer events on the Downtown Mall cool and sweet.
  • Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Elevated American comfort food that turns corporate picnics at Darden Towe Park into gourmet gatherings.
  • Curbside Creations – Classic burgers, fries, and Southern staples perfect for community fundraisers at Charlottesville High School.

Need 5,000 meals served between sets at a Charlottesville Music Showcase? Or multiple cuisines to satisfy a diverse crowd at the United Way’s Day of Caring? Our logistics team handles scheduling, spacing, and optimized menu rotation so each guest gets hot, fresh food with minimal wait. Plus, every truck carries full health permits and insurance, giving you peace of mind while you focus on headliners and ticket sales.

Make your next large-scale Charlottesville event unforgettable—book your food truck fleet with Best Food Trucks today and let the flavors of Central Virginia roll right in.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

Way too much sauce in the esquite that made it resemble more of a soup. I dumped out half the sauce so I could enjoy the corn more, but everything had good flavor.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

Our employees loved the food truck and they were prompt and had enough food for both our day and night shift team members. The food was delicious. We would definitely use them again for future events.

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.

Placed order at 520 for 530 opening. At 535 received a text saying order confirmed, ready in 20 min. At 555 (20 min later) received another text that it would be another 15 min. Too long to wait for a preorder. I also paid $1 extra for sauerkraut and did t get any. I also selected 2 different flavors of pierogis and only got 1. The food was good but the wait and incorrect order was frustrating
