Strip Malls and Open Lots catering

Skip the line and soak up the Soda City fun at your neighborhood bash!

Best Food Trucks brings Columbia neighborhood food truck catering into the 21st century with our slick mobile-ordering platform. Instead of your Shandon neighbors or Forest Acres families queuing down the sidewalk, they can pull out their phones, choose their favorite truck—barbecue, tacos, or gourmet grits—and get a text the moment their order is hot and ready. No lines clogging Gervais Street, no one missing the Gamecock kickoff on the backyard projector.

Planning a twilight cookout after a Lake Murray boat parade? Drop a pre-order link in the HOA Facebook group so residents can reserve dinner for a specific pickup time before, during, or after the event. Hosting a Vista block movie night? Guests can order kettle corn, sliders, or Italian ice without ever leaving their lawn chairs.

Food truck catering plus online ordering is the easiest, most stress-free way to feed a crowd in Columbia, SC. You handle the fun—corn-hole, live music, Riverbanks Zoo fireworks views—and we’ll handle the food. Exceptional eats, zero hassle, and nothing but good Soda City vibes.
