Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Detroit

From concerts on the riverfront at Hart Plaza to tailgates outside Comerica Park, Detroit knows how to throw a party—and Detroiters expect the food to be as memorable as the Motown soundtrack. Forget the old-school pop-up tents that needed extra permits, generators, and hours of setup. Modern food truck catering brings fully equipped, self-contained kitchens that can roll right up to Campus Martius, Eastern Market, or the Woodward Dream Cruise and start serving within minutes.

Best Food Trucks specializes in coordinating multiple food trucks for large scale events in Detroit. Whether you need gourmet bites for 5,000 guests at a summer festival or quick, crowd-pleasing eats for a corporate outing in the Renaissance Center plaza, we’ll build the perfect lineup. Your attendees get variety—vegetarian samosas, Detroit-style sandwiches, authentic street tacos, and more—while you get one point of contact, one contract, and zero hassle.

Check out some of the Motor City favorites we can roll into your next event:

  • Paradise Street Eats – Spice up the party with aromatic Indian classics like butter chicken and veggie samosas.
  • Da Bomb Taco – Loaded street tacos that blast bold flavor, perfect for late-night crowds at Movement Festival.
  • Tacos Hernandez Food Truck – Authentic Mexican tacos, burritos, and fresh-griddled quesadillas that satisfy even the hungriest Lions fans.
  • Detroit 75 Kitchen – A local legend serving award-winning sandwiches and fries straight out of Southwest Detroit.
  • Waka Street Food – Vibrant African flavors—from jollof rice to suya skewers—bring global flair to any River Days celebration.

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

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.

It was a perfect combo of flavors with the right amount of spice and it had lots of chicken and veggies. (Spicy basil w/ rice)
