Food Truck Catering for Chicago Schools & Campuses
From the South Side to the North Shore, Chicago schools know that nothing rallies hungry students and faculty faster than a lineup of local food trucks. Whether you’re planning a pep rally at Lane Tech, lunchtime service at UIC, or a post-game celebration at a CPS high school, Best Food Trucks makes “food truck catering for schools in Chicago” as easy as grabbing a slice on Madison Street.
Our industry-leading online ordering system eliminates the notorious Chicago lunch rush. Students and staff place orders from their phones, select a pick-up time, and skip the line—perfect for those dashing between classes or hopping the ‘L’ to an internship. We handle all city permits, campus logistics, and dietary requirements so your team can focus on teaching, coaching, and learning.
Best of all, we partner with a roster of Windy City favorites that every Chicagoan recognizes:
- Latin-American flair from La Cocinita Chicago, famous for its Venezuelan arepas and bright red truck often parked near the Loop.
- Slow-smoked barbecue and mac ’n’ cheese from Soul & Smoke, a must-have after Friday-night lights.
- Gourmet sandwiches like the truffle BLT from The Fat Shallot, a staple outside Merchandise Mart and a hit at faculty mixers.
- Hand-crafted Argentinian bites from 5411 Empanadas, perfect for grab-and-go lunches between lectures.
- Sicilian street eats—think arancini and fresh pasta—from La Comodita, bringing Little Italy flavors straight to campus.
No matter the event—spirit week, alumni weekend, standardized-testing days, or everyday lunch service—Best Food Trucks curates the ideal mix of Chicago food truck catering for schools. Let us elevate your campus dining experience with local flavor, legendary efficiency, and zero hassle.
Matt,
Another stellar year. Best Food Trucks’ school food truck catering kept our students and faculty happy across three Chicago campuses—from Lincoln Park to the Loop—without a single hiccup. Your crews crushed the lunch rush, powered late-night study sessions, and even rolled in during that surprise April snow. Thanks for being the MVP of our campus dining game!
