Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Columbia, SC
From concerts at Colonial Life Arena to summer festivals on the banks of the Congaree, Columbia knows how to throw a party—and great parties need great food. Best Food Trucks brings the city’s favorite kitchens on wheels directly to your crowd, offering full-service, self-contained mobile kitchens that roll in ready to feed thousands. No extra tents, no long set-ups, and no worries about permits or power—our trucks park, cook, and serve.
Columbians love variety, and our roster delivers. Want buttery shrimp and grits that taste like a beach day on Folly? Book Carolina Cookin' for Southern-style seafood that will wow Gamecock fans and visiting SEC rivals alike. Craving Cajun heat that rivals a Five Points Friday night? Mardi Gras Tyme dishes out jambalaya and red beans that transport your guests straight to the French Quarter.
Big crowds under that Midlands sun also need to chill out. Cue the frosty treats: Ken's Famous Italian Ice spoons up classic ices, while Kona Ice – Columbia lets everyone flavor their own shaved-ice masterpiece from the Color-Changing Kona truck. Looking for all-American comfort? The Haute Dog Lady serves creative hot dogs and loaded tots that keep Riverbanks Zoo visitors powered for more exploring.
Whether you’re planning a Lake Murray music fest, a corporate retreat at the State House grounds, or the next Soda City Market takeover, Best Food Trucks coordinates multiple trucks, custom menus, and on-site logistics so you can focus on the fun. For turnkey food truck catering at any large-scale Columbia event, let us handle the grills while you handle the thrill.
Skip the Line and Soak Up the Event, Columbia!
Nothing kills vibe faster than standing in a Midlands heat index of 95° while your favorite band hits the stage at Finlay Park. Best Food Trucks solves that with our Columbia-ready online ordering system. Guests can pull out their phone, tap their favorite truck—whether it’s Carolina Cookin’ or Kona Ice—and get a text the moment their plate is plated. No sweaty queues, no missed guitar solos, no FOMO.
Planning a Lake Murray Fourth of July bash or a tailgate outside Williams-Brice? Send attendees a pre-order link so they can schedule pickup before the fireworks or kickoff. Our platform is built for high-frequency ordering, so even a Soda City Market crowd won’t clog the kitchen. Food truck catering for large-scale events in Columbia + real-time mobile ordering = happy guests and a smoother production for you.

The brisket melt is absolutely delicious. We loved the seasoning on the fresh cut fries. This is definitely our favorite sandwich truck that comes to Talavera.

Second time trying BFT and i like how quick they get orders ready. This is our first time trying the truffalo pizza and it's one of my favorites now.

I was just a little disappointed that they didn't have the chess pie that I had ordered. The red beans and rice were really good.

Food is delicious. However my order was messed up tonight :(. Asked for extra chicken but they dumped shrimp all over the rice instead. Couldn’t eat it

The turkey burger was good. I don't eat onions and have allergies to that so I scraped them off. There wasn't a space to request ti have them removed. Perhaps, an "instructions" space can be added for that particular burger as well. Many have allergies to foods. Thank you!🙂

Truck was great, would like a lid for the pudding to carry a little easier. And would like more trucks with healthier options

Less crema on the fish taco. But otherwise all of it was delicious and the jerk chicken taco was my favorite. Great flavor and perfect heat for jerk.
