Skip the Line, Knoxville—Enjoy the Large-Scale Event!

When 10,000 orange-clad fans pour into World’s Fair Park or the Old City Night Market, no one wants to spend the afternoon standing in a food truck queue. Best Food Trucks brings Knoxville’s favorite meals and a cutting-edge online ordering system that lets guests tap, pay, and play Rocky Top without missing a beat.

Here’s how it works: attendees scan a custom QR code posted around Neyland Stadium’s tailgate zone or on the jumbotrons at Thompson-Boling Arena. They browse every truck’s menu from their phone, place an order, and get a text the moment their catfish tacos or hot-honey wings are ready. No guessing, no yelling over the crowd—just grab and go.

Hosting a sunrise session of the Knoxville Marathon or an after-dark Big Ears set? Send a pre-event ordering link so runners and concertgoers can lock in a specific pick-up time before the gates even open. Our platform is built to handle high-frequency ordering for large-scale events in Knoxville, keeping ticket holders focused on the music, the miles, or the Vols—never on the line.

Food trucks for large events plus seamless online ordering equals happier guests, faster service, and higher sales. Let Best Food Trucks elevate your next Knoxville gathering with the simplest way to serve exceptional eats, right on time.

We tried the sandwiches with bacon jam for the first time. The burger and chicken sandwiches were delicious!!! We tend to order the grilled cheese burger and the chicken bacon club. Now I won't know which sandwich to order next time!😁

I ordered the Cuban sandwich without mustard but it came loaded with mustard. The sandwich was cooked perfectly and the pork was delicious but had way to much mustard. Otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars in lieu of 4. 😊 The pulled pork sandwich was delicious.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

Pizza was still warm when I picked it up and had so much flavor. First time trying the veggie, it's a new fav.

Way too much sauce in the esquite that made it resemble more of a soup. I dumped out half the sauce so I could enjoy the corn more, but everything had good flavor.

The food, service, and support were incredible. They were so good that we wanted to add another day of rental for the next day at our production, but they were already booked. Will definitely work with them again.

Our employees loved the food truck and they were prompt and had enough food for both our day and night shift team members. The food was delicious. We would definitely use them again for future events.

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.

Placed order at 520 for 530 opening. At 535 received a text saying order confirmed, ready in 20 min. At 555 (20 min later) received another text that it would be another 15 min. Too long to wait for a preorder. I also paid $1 extra for sauerkraut and did t get any. I also selected 2 different flavors of pierogis and only got 1. The food was good but the wait and incorrect order was frustrating
