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

From a packed Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium to a summer concert on the banks of Lake Murray, the best events in Columbia have two things in common: high-energy entertainment and unforgettable food. Modern food trucks deliver both, rolling in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens that eliminate the old headaches of tent permits, generators, and hours of setup. If you’re planning large-scale food truck catering for events in Columbia, SC—think festivals at Finlay Park, corporate gatherings in the Congaree Vista, or family days at Riverbanks Zoo—Best Food Trucks has you covered.

Unlike traditional concession tents, our roster of Columbia food trucks arrives ready to serve crowds fast, keeping lines short and guests happy. We curate a mix of local favorites so every attendee finds something that hits the spot, from gourmet seafood to shaved ice that beats the Carolina heat.

Here are just a few Columbia food trucks we can book for your next large event:

  • Carolina Cookin' – Southern hospitality on wheels with low-country specialties like soft-shell crab & grits.
  • Mardi Gras Tyme – Authentic Cajun classics: Creole jambalaya, red beans & rice, and more.
  • Ken's Famous Italian Ice – A Columbia summer staple, serving refreshing, fruit-packed ices.
  • The Haute Dog Lady – Loaded hot dogs and American comfort fare perfect for Gamecock tailgates.
  • Kona Ice – Columbia – Gourmet shaved ice served from the famous Flavorwave truck.

Whether you need one truck or a fleet, Best Food Trucks is the trusted choice for food truck catering for large-scale events in Columbia. Let us handle the scheduling, permits, and on-site logistics while you focus on creating an event the Midlands won’t forget.
