Food Truck Catering for Chicago Offices

Looking for an easy way to keep your team happy and productive without sending them out into a blustery Loop winter or the steamy summer heat of River North? Best Food Trucks delivers the ultimate solution: on-site food truck catering for Chicago offices. Imagine parking a full-service, made-to-order kitchen right outside your building on Wacker Drive, in the West Loop, or even out by O’Hare—no more sad desk lunches, no more frantic dashes to grab a slice on State Street.

Our Chicago food truck partners cover every craving, from smoky barbecue to hand-held empanadas, so each employee can order exactly what they want. Craving Latin flavor? Book La Cocinita Chicago and let their Venezuelan-inspired arepas light up the office. Have a team that swears by BBQ? Soul & Smoke will roll up with brisket so tender it could make a South Sider tear up. Sandwich fanatics near the Merchandise Mart love when The Fat Shallot pulls to the curb, while Argentinians (and everyone else) cheer when 5411 Empanadas shows off its golden, baked pockets. And for a taste of Sicily without leaving the Loop, invite La Comodita for fresh arancini and Italian street classics.

Skip the “scoop-and-serve” buffet trays that turn lukewarm before the Cubs finish an inning. Our automated scheduling platform lets you rotate multiple Chicago food trucks throughout the month, providing variety and boosting morale. We handle permits, parking logistics, and real-time support so you can focus on quarterly goals—not cafeteria headaches.

From skyscraper offices on LaSalle to tech hubs in Fulton Market, Best Food Trucks makes office catering in Chicago deliciously simple. Reach out today, and we’ll curate a lineup that fits your budget, headcount, and taste buds—because your team deserves better than another soggy sandwich.

Supporting Chicago’s Small Food Truck Businesses

Choosing food truck catering for your Chicago office isn’t just convenient—it’s a direct investment in the city’s independent culinary scene. Every time you invite a truck to your loading dock on Michigan Avenue or the plaza in the South Loop, you’re putting revenue straight into the hands of family-owned startups from neighborhoods like Pilsen, Bronzeville, and Logan Square.

These mobile kitchens are powered by solo entrepreneurs and tight-knit crews who prep at West Side commissaries before braving the Kennedy to reach your high-rise. Instead of funneling dollars to a national chain, your lunch budget helps a Rogers Park smoker buy local hickory, a Humboldt Park baker keep the ovens hot, and a Bridgeport empanada maker hire one more prep cook.

Food trucks also keep Chicago a little greener. Because each rig is a self-contained kitchen, they draw less electricity than traditional banquet setups and rely on compostable packaging that won’t clog up your office recycling bins. Less waste, less power, happier planet.

So the next time you’re Googling “corporate catering near me” for that Loop lunch-and-learn, tap Best Food Trucks. You’ll get crowd-pleasing menus, boost the local economy, and prove your team can crush Q3 goals and practice sustainability—Chicago style.

The truck arrived 30 mins late, which caused quite a disturbance. The food was cooked and served quickly. Some things were overcooked and dried out, a bit. However, Mike was very courteous and professional and accommodating.
