Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Columbia, SC

The best concerts at Colonial Life Arena, tailgates outside Williams-Brice Stadium, and weekend festivals in the Soda City all have one thing in common—a mouth-watering lineup of local food trucks. Traditional tent vendors once ruled the South Carolina State Fairgrounds, but they needed extra permits, bulky equipment, and hours of setup. Modern food truck catering in Columbia changes all that, rolling in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens that are ready to feed thousands in minutes.

Whether your large event is stretching along Main Street for the Saturday Market or filling every inch of the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center, Best Food Trucks can match you with the perfect fleet. Looking for Lowcountry seafood that reminds guests of a sunny day on Lake Murray? Carolina Cookin' brings soft-shell crab and creamy grits straight to your crowd. Need authentic Cajun flair? Mardi Gras Tyme ladles out jambalaya that could make a New Orleanian homesick. For classic American favorites that satisfy every Gamecock fan, book Buck n Cluck. And when Columbia’s famously hot summer kicks in, cool everyone down with shaved-ice legends Kona Ice – Columbia or Ken's Famous Italian Ice.

From multi-day music festivals at Finlay Park to corporate conventions that fill every hotel in the Vista, our team handles scheduling, permitting, and on-site coordination so you don’t have to. Best Food Trucks is the trusted partner for food truck catering for large scale events in Columbia—because great events deserve great Columbia flavor.

Skip the Line, Columbia—Enjoy the Show!

Columbians don’t head to Riverfront Park, Segra Park, or the South Carolina State Fairgrounds to stand in a food line—they come for the music, the ballgame, and the fireworks over the Congaree. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system lets your guests dive straight into the action. With a few taps on their phone, they can browse every truck parked on site, place an order, and get a text the moment their shrimp po’boy or chicken bog is ready.

Planning a Saturday Market takeover on Main Street? Send attendees a prepaid pre-order link so they can schedule a 10:30 AM pickup before the first band hits the stage. Hosting a weekend tournament at Saluda Shoals Park? Our high-capacity platform thrives under Gamecock-sized crowds, processing thousands of simultaneous orders without a hiccup.

Food truck catering for large-scale events in Columbia plus real-time online ordering equals happy guests, shorter lines, and more time to enjoy everything that makes Soda City special.

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

please bring this one back. All of the sandwiches were great even the tater tots were soft in the middle and crispy on the outside perfect.

Make pictures more appealing- that was a large problem last night. You need a photographer or something to make those pictures were artistic . The pictures of the Philly cheesesteak do not look good and the burgers all look wilted. The taste of the food is not translating in the pictures. Your onion rings are delicious. Chicken fingers are average. You need a honey mustard dipping sauce. Cheeseburger was very good - add a pickle spear on the side. Fries were average Also add more choices than just Coke - and maybe you have them, but it doesn't show up on line.

The pulled pork and brisket were incredible. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'd eat it every week.
