Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Columbus, Ohio

From Red, White & BOOM! on the Scioto Mile to Saturday tailgates outside Ohio Stadium, Columbus knows how to throw a party— and nothing keeps a crowd happier than great food. Best Food Trucks brings the city’s top mobile kitchens to your festival, concert, corporate picnic, or Buckeye watch party, delivering turn-key food truck catering for large-scale events in Columbus.

Unlike the old-school tent vendors that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of set-up, our trucks roll in with fully self-contained commercial kitchens. That means faster service, shorter lines, and a wider variety of cuisines for your guests. Whether you’re filling Columbus Commons with hungry concert-goers or feeding volunteers at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Marathon, we can deploy a fleet of trucks sized perfectly for your attendance numbers.

Best Food Trucks also curates a roster of beloved local favorites, so your attendees enjoy authentic Columbus-flavor on every plate:

  • Chick Happens! – Crispy chicken sandwiches and American bistro staples that satisfy any Midwest appetite.
  • City Classics – A Columbus legend for 35+ years, serving customizable American fare inspired by training “all over the WORLD.”
  • Gyro Hero – Mediterranean gyros piled high with tender meat and fresh veggies, perfect for summer festivals in the Short North.
  • Cupzilla – Korean fusion rice cups and fiery sauces that keep the Arena District buzzing.
  • Roadster – Comfort-food classics like smash burgers and loaded fries, ideal for chilly fall evenings at Crew matches.

No matter the headcount—500 guests at a wedding on the banks of Alum Creek or 50,000 fans outside Nationwide Arena—Best Food Trucks streamlines scheduling, permitting, POS, and on-site logistics. You pick the date and venue; we’ll bring Columbus’s best food trucks and the flavor that makes every big gathering unforgettable.

Skip the Line—Savor the Event!

When you’re packing the Ohio Expo Center for the Fair or lighting up the night at Red, White & BOOM!, every minute counts. Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system lets your guests spend those minutes enjoying the show instead of standing in line. With a few taps on their phone, they choose a truck, place an order, and get a text the moment their food is ready—no guesswork, no crowding, no Buckeye-sized wait.

Planning ahead? Send a custom pre-order link with ticket confirmations so thousands of fans can lock in a pickup time before they even hit the parking lot. Our platform is built for high-frequency, large-scale events in Columbus, seamlessly processing orders whether you’re feeding 800 runners at the Cap City Half Marathon or 40,000 concert-goers at Lower.com Field. Combine Columbus’s best food trucks with real-time mobile ordering, and your attendees stay focused on the fun while still enjoying exceptional eats.

Fresher ingredients. The tomatoes was kinda not fresh - like the skin was separating from the flesh. Maybe more veggies, as well. Overall it was good.
