Food Truck Catering for Chicago Neighborhood Events

Whether you’re the alderman’s point person for a summer bash in Lincoln Square, a block captain planning a Roscoe Village curb-to-curb fiesta, or a Chicago Park District supervisor bringing movie night to Ping Tom Park, you already have plenty on your plate. Let Best Food Trucks keep your guests happy—and your stress level low—by handling the food from start to finish. No more scrambling to find a last-minute private chef, chasing unreliable vendors down Lake Shore Drive, or settling for pre-made trays that taste like they came from a deep-dish assembly line.

Best Food Trucks is Chicago’s one-stop platform for neighborhood catering: we curate menus, schedule trusted local vendors, and power everything with our lightning-fast digital ordering system so your guests can grab grub without clogging the sidewalk. From a single truck in Edgewater to a full fleet for a street-closure blow-out in Wicker Park, we scale to fit your permit—and your appetite.

Need flavor inspiration? Picture sizzling arepas from La Cocinita Chicago, smoky brisket sandwiches from Soul & Smoke, and stacked truffle BLTs from The Fat Shallot. Craving a Lakeview late-night hand-pie? Book 5411 Empanadas. Want Sicilian arancini that’ll make Nonna proud at your Pilsen art walk? La Comodita rolls up right on cue. All these Chicago favorites are vetted, reviewed, and ready to park on your block.

So skip the headache and let Best Food Trucks deliver Chicago’s best street food straight to your Neighborhood event—hot, fresh, and faster than an express train on the Red Line.

Programming in the Park catering

Skip the line and savor your Chicago neighborhood event!

Best Food Trucks brings the city’s famous “hurry-up-and-have-fun” attitude right to your block. Thanks to our cutting-edge online ordering system, guests can browse menus, pay, and tip from their phones while they cheer on the kickball game or listen to the cover band instead of standing in a winding queue on Milwaukee Avenue. When the food’s ready, a quick text alert sends them strolling over—no yelling names into the wind off Lake Michigan.

Hosting a Roscoe Village porchfest, a Bridgeport art crawl, or a Hyde Park movie night in Nichols Park? Send out a pre-order link days in advance so neighbors can lock in a pick-up time before, during, or after the main event. Less waiting, more mingling, and zero hassle for you.

Chicago neighborhood food truck catering plus Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering = restaurant-quality eats delivered faster than the Brown Line at rush hour. Relax, enjoy the party, and let us handle the grub.
