Food Truck Catering for Columbus Neighborhood Events

From a porch concert in Clintonville to a German Village block party, Columbus knows how to gather and eat well. If you’re the one in charge of feeding the crowd—whether it’s movie night at Goodale Park, a school fundraiser in Upper Arlington, or a tailgate near the Shoe—let Best Food Trucks handle the food so you can focus on the fun. Our neighborhood food truck catering in Columbus brings Buckeye-loved flavors to your curb without the headache of menu planning, grocery runs, or unreliable private chefs.

Best Food Trucks partners with some of the most popular mobile kitchens in Central Ohio. Craving comfort classics? Tap Roadster for Americana favorites. Need crispy chicken sandwiches that rival anything on High Street? Chick Happens! is ready to roll. Want a 35-year local legend that can tailor any menu? Book City Classics. Looking for Korean fusion that hits harder than a Blue Jackets slap shot? Cupzilla delivers. And if you want a little bit of everything—Philly steaks, tacos, hotdogs, and loaded fries—Rolling Bistro turns your block into a food festival.

When you schedule food truck catering through Best Food Trucks, you get the industry leader in logistics plus local Columbus vendors with five-star reviews. Our digital ordering platform lets neighbors place and pay for meals right from their phones, shortening lines and keeping the sidewalks of Bexley or the Short North clear. From a single truck to an entire fleet, we scale to your headcount, show up on time, and serve hot, affordable gourmet food that makes your event the talk of the neighborhood.

So string the scarlet and gray decorations, book the band, and introduce the new neighbors—leave the cooking to us. Best Food Trucks is your one-stop solution for food truck catering in Columbus neighborhoods.

Strip Malls and Open Lots catering

Skip the line and soak up your Columbus neighborhood vibe!

With Best Food Trucks’ Columbus-built online ordering platform, your Clintonville porch concert or Franklinton arts crawl stays about the music—not the food queue. Guests simply scan a QR code, order from their phones, and get a 614 text the moment their hot chicken sandwich or vegan pierogi is ready. Lines disappear, sidewalks stay clear, and the block-party energy keeps rolling.

Want extra convenience? Drop our pre-order link in the Nextdoor thread, HOA email, or group chat so neighbors can lock in a pick-up time before kickoff by the Shoe or after the movie ends in Goodale Park. Food-truck catering plus mobile ordering is the Buckeye-smart way to feed a crowd: no clipboards, no cash boxes, just Columbus-loved eats delivered curbside while you mingle.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Good size pizza, tasty pies. Cauliflower crust was good. Hard to have a hot pizza by the time we walked home.
