Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Detroit

Throwing a blow-out bash on the Riverwalk, packing Hart Plaza for Movement, or tailgating outside Ford Field? Great entertainment always needs great eats, and nothing feeds a Motor City crowd faster than a fleet of food trucks. Modern trucks roll in with fully licensed, self-contained kitchens—no extra tents, generators, or marathon setup times required. That means your large-scale Detroit event gets hot food on the double and a lot less headache for organizers.

From the Woodward Dream Cruise to the Detroit Jazz Festival, Best Food Trucks lines up the city’s most popular mobile kitchens so every guest finds something they love. Craving bold Indian flavors? Paradise Street Eats ladles out aromatic curries that keep the crowd warm even on a chilly fall evening. Need tacos for thousands? We can park Da Bomb Taco right next to Tacos Hernandez Food Truck for a double-header of salsa-drenched goodness.

If Detroit-style sandwiches are more your vibe, Detroit 75 Kitchen serves their famous steak and chicken shawarma hoagies faster than the People Mover. And when you want to showcase global fare, Waka Street Food brings West African spice that will have guests talking all the way back up I-75.

Whether you’re feeding 500 at Eastern Market or 50,000 at Comerica Park, Best Food Trucks is Detroit’s go-to partner for food truck catering at large-scale events. We handle permits, placement, and crowd flow so you can focus on the music, the cars, or the game. Book with us and taste why the D loves its food trucks!

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.

It was fresh and delicious and phenomenal value at $15. I'll definitely eat there again next time they're at Peabody.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.
