Food Truck Catering for Parties in Chicago
Planning a party anywhere from Lincoln Park rooftops to Lakeview backyards can feel like trying to parallel-park on Milwaukee Avenue at rush hour—something is bound to go sideways. Skip the stress of pots boiling over and ovens hogging counter space, and book a Chicago food truck instead. Best Food Trucks is the Windy City’s go-to platform for mobile food vendor logistics, connecting you with award-winning local chefs who roll up, serve, and roll out—no mess left behind in your kitchen and zero space stolen from the dance floor.
Whether you want Venezuelan arepas from La Cocinita Chicago, melt-in-your-mouth brisket from Soul & Smoke, gourmet sandwiches stacked high by The Fat Shallot, baked-to-order empanadas from 5411 Empanadas, or Sicilian arancini courtesy of La Comodita, our fleet can park in the West Loop, Wrigleyville, or even along the lakefront for a post-Navy Pier fireworks bash. Your guests get restaurant-quality meals served hot from the truck window, and you get all the kudos for booking Chicago’s coolest party catering idea.
From birthday blowouts in Bucktown to graduation parties in the suburbs, Best Food Trucks handles scheduling, permits, and real-time truck tracking, so the only thing you need to worry about is which craft beer pairs best with that smoked rib tip. Book your Chicago food truck catering today and throw a party that’s as iconic as the skyline.
Skip the line and actually enjoy your Chicago party!
Best Food Trucks brings the same hustle that keeps The Bean gleaming and the CTA on schedule to your private event. Our Chicago-ready online ordering system lets guests tap in their order from anywhere—whether they’re snapping skyline selfies on the rooftop or debating Bulls stats by the bar. No one has to queue up like it’s Sunday brunch on Randolph Street; they’ll get a text the second their tacos, brisket, or deep-dish sliders are ready for pickup at the truck window.
Want to be even smoother than Lake Shore Drive at 3 a.m.? Send a pre-order link with your invites so friends can lock in a pick-up time before the party, during the first toast, or right after the DJ drops “Sweet Home Chicago.” Our food truck catering plus real-time mobile ordering keeps the focus on clinking glasses and dancing, not standing in line. Exceptional eats, zero hassle—now that’s a Chicago party playbook.

Food was amazing! Owners and staff really have a heart for service. All my guests raved about every item on the menu. Bananas Foster Plaintains were excellent and something no one had ever had.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.
