Skip the Line and Soak Up the Kansas City Vibes

Nothing kills the mood at a Brookside block party or a graduation bash at Loose Park faster than a long food line. Best Food Trucks’ online ordering system was built to keep Kansas City celebrations moving. Guests tap in their order on a phone, grab another Boulevard beer, and get a text when their ice-cold treat is ready—no crowding around the window, no guessing when the cone will drop.

Hosting a company picnic near Union Station or a post-game gathering outside Kauffman Stadium? Send a pre-order link in advance so employees or fans can choose a specific pick-up time. Their sundae or Dole Whip will be waiting the minute they walk up, even if the Royals go into extra innings.

Online ordering means you keep the focus on your event, not the logistics. We streamline payment, timing, and traffic flow so you can concentrate on lawn games, first dances, or hearing the brass band at the American Jazz Museum. It’s the easiest way to serve premium Kansas City ice cream food truck catering without lifting a finger.

From amateur party planners to veteran event pros, everyone trusts Best Food Trucks for smooth, professional results. Let us handle the scoops while you handle the memories—KC style!

We were a little nervous that they would need more time to set up, as they didn't arrive until about 25-30 minutes before our event. However that was the only potential negative aspect. These guys were quick with getting food out, I had so many positive comments regarding how good the food was I lost track how many there were. I would absolutely hire this truck again in a heartbeat.

Delicious sauce on the Yakatori chicken and I appreciate the option to choose a green salad instead of Mac salad. Speedy order fulfillment too!

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard

With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
