Chicago School & Campus Food Truck Catering
From CPS playgrounds to Big Ten campuses along Lake Shore Drive, Chicago schools move fast—and lunch needs to keep up. Best Food Trucks brings the city’s most loved mobile kitchens straight to your quad, courtyard, or staff parking lot, making Chicago school food truck catering as easy as tapping your Ventra card.
Whether you’re planning a Friday night football game at Lane Tech, a spring alumni festival in Hyde Park, or just want to ditch the cafeteria line for everyday lunches, our platform connects you with top local favorites. Picture students grabbing Venezuelan arepas from the bright red La Cocinita Chicago, teachers savoring hickory-smoked brisket from Soul & Smoke, or your PTA renting out the gourmet sandwich masters at The Fat Shallot. Craving empanadas after third-period chemistry? 5411 Empanadas has you covered. Need a taste of Sicily for Italian Club? La Comodita rolls right up.
Our best-in-class online ordering system eliminates the long lunchtime waits that plague even the most organized campus. Students and faculty order ahead on their phones, receive a text when their meal is ready, and pick up faster than an L train at rush hour. Gluten-free, vegan, halal, or nut-free—we curate trucks to meet every dietary requirement, so no one on your roster is left on the sidelines.
Let Best Food Trucks handle scheduling, permits, and vendor selection while you focus on creating an unforgettable Windy City campus experience. With our Chicago school food truck catering solutions, you’re not just serving lunch—you’re serving up a memory worthy of a selfie under the Bean.
Matt,
You and the Best Food Trucks crew crushed it for us all year long. From late-night study sessions in Lincoln Park to game-day tailgates at Wintrust Arena, every truck showed up right on time and kept our Blue Demons fueled. Thanks for being a rock-solid partner!
