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.

We hosted an office party at a local park & had Good Hombres there to serve lunch. Everyone loved the food & the service that was provided. We will definitely use them again in the future!

Truck ran 30 mins late on our order and the meatballs tasted like they were previously frozen - they were a weird texture and not flavorful

The order was "on time" very generous amounts, the roll was toasted perfectly.( unexpected) the meat was so tender and tasty..the mac & cheese yummy, and the beans even had a piece of VERY tender bacon in it! DELICIOUS!

My sandwich was tasty! I didn't like that it had two different sizes of bread one substantially smaller. This caused the roast beef on one end to be dried out. It was a great sandwich and the chef was very friendly.

The Mac and cheese was fantastic 10/10 would get again. The peach lemonade is also lovely. They are such wonderful people too!

Plantain! Jerk chicken was fried crispy. Thought the jerk barbecue could have been a little spicier. Still very good

First time buying. The rice & vegetables were perfect! And the yum yum sauce added just the right "kick". The egg rolls were a bit skimpy on filling, but taste was fine.

Unfair question. It was salted perfectly, the pasta is perfect, everything was fantastic. The bread on the side was perfect to sop up the rest of the sauce.
