Throwing a graduation bash in Beaverdale, a birthday get-together near Gray’s Lake, or a Cyclone-Hawkeye watch party in the East Village? No matter the celebration, one thing is certain: great food makes or breaks the night. Skip the stress of cooking for a crowd and avoid the mess of a traditional in-home caterer.

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃
