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

From a Saturday crowd on Main Street’s Soda City Market to a packed tailgate outside Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia knows how to throw a party. Modern event planners across the Midlands have discovered that the fastest way to keep those crowds happy is with food truck catering. Unlike old-school tent vendors that need external power, extra fire permits, and hours of setup, today’s food trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. They’re serving fresh, hot meals within minutes—no fuss, no mess, and no long lines blocking Gervais Street.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for any large-scale event in Columbia, whether it’s a festival at Finlay Park, a concert series by the Congaree River, or a corporate picnic on the shores of Lake Murray. Our network features a lineup locals already love:

  • Carolina Cookin' – Gourmet seafood with a Southern drawl. Think soft-shell crab & grits or shrimp straight from the Lowcountry, perfect for giving your guests a true taste of South Carolina hospitality.
  • Mardi Gras Tyme – Authentic Cajun classics like Creole jambalaya and red beans & rice that bring Bourbon Street flavor right to BullStreet District.
  • RB Top Chef Mobile Kitchen & Catering – Slow-smoked barbecue that can stand up to any tailgate outside Colonial Life Arena.
  • The Haute Dog Lady – Creative American comfort food and loaded hot dogs that keep families fueled while they explore Riverbanks Zoo.
  • Ken's Famous Italian Ice – Columbia summers demand a frozen treat, and Ken’s bright, fruity shaved ice is crowd-cooling perfection.

Whether you need one truck for 200 hungry fans or a curated fleet for 20,000 festival-goers, Best Food Trucks makes large event catering in Columbia simple. We handle menu variety, health department coordination, and onsite logistics so you can focus on the music, the game, or the fireworks over the Congaree. Book with the top Columbia food truck caterers today and watch your large-scale event turn into a mouth-watering success!

Skip the Line at Your Columbia-SC Large-Scale Event

Nothing kills the vibe of a “Famously Hot” Columbia gathering faster than a 30-minute food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that with a mobile ordering system built for big crowds—whether you’re hosting the South Carolina State Fair, a Gamecock watch party on Greene Street, or marathon music sets at Columbia Speedway. Guests tap a menu on their phones, pay in seconds, and get a text when their shrimp & grits or brisket slider is ready. No sweaty queues, no traffic jams around the trucks, just more time to cheer, dance, and explore Five Points.

Need to feed thousands right when gates open? Send out a pre-order link so vendors can fire up tickets for a specific pickup window before the first drumline starts. Our platform is engineered for the high-frequency ordering that large-scale Columbia events demand, effortlessly coordinating multiple food trucks and cuisines in real time. Food truck catering for large events in Columbia plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals happy attendees and a smoother production for your team.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

Way too much sauce in the esquite that made it resemble more of a soup. I dumped out half the sauce so I could enjoy the corn more, but everything had good flavor.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.
