Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Charlottesville

When Charlottesville throws a party—whether it’s a packed concert on the Downtown Mall, a fall football tailgate at Scott Stadium, or a craft beer festival at IX Art Park—the crowd expects two things: live entertainment and unforgettable food. Modern food truck catering delivers both. Unlike old-school tent kitchens that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens, ready to serve thousands in minutes.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for large-scale events throughout Central Virginia. From Monticello Wine Trail gatherings to graduation weekend at the University of Virginia, we match each event with a curated lineup of local trucks so every guest can find a meal they love. Looking for sizzling pizza by the slice? Craving Mediterranean rice bowls after a hike in Shenandoah? Dreaming of hand-spun ice cream to cool off on the Lawn? We’ve got you covered.

Some of the most requested Charlottesville favorites include:

  • Ricebowls Express – Mediterranean-inspired bowls piled high with grilled meats, fresh veggies, and house-made sauces. A perfect grab-and-go option for weddings, corporate retreats, and UVA reunions.
  • Blue Ridge Pizza Co – Wood-fired pies served straight from the oven. Their mobile brick oven turns any lot near John Paul Jones Arena into an alpine pizzeria.
  • Royal Creamery & Icery – Small-batch ice cream, Italian ices, and milkshakes that keep summer festivals on the Downtown Mall cool and happy.
  • Fantabulous Chef Service LLC – Hearty American comfort classics—from smoked brisket sliders to mac ‘n’ cheese—that satisfy hungry fans at Charlottesville Tom Sox games.
  • Curbside Creations – Elevated street food favorites like gourmet burgers and loaded fries, perfect for late-night crowds after concerts at the Ting Pavilion.

With Best Food Trucks managing the logistics—menus, permits, insurance, and streamlined cashless ordering—you can focus on the music, the speeches, or the big game. Let us transform your next Charlottesville event into a culinary tour on wheels and see why we’re the top choice for food truck catering for large scale events in Charlottesville.

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful

The order was "on time" very generous amounts, the roll was toasted perfectly.( unexpected) the meat was so tender and tasty..the mac & cheese yummy, and the beans even had a piece of VERY tender bacon in it! DELICIOUS!

My sandwich was tasty! I didn't like that it had two different sizes of bread one substantially smaller. This caused the roast beef on one end to be dried out. It was a great sandwich and the chef was very friendly.

The Mac and cheese was fantastic 10/10 would get again. The peach lemonade is also lovely. They are such wonderful people too!

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.

Unfair question. It was salted perfectly, the pasta is perfect, everything was fantastic. The bread on the side was perfect to sop up the rest of the sauce.
