Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Knoxville

From packed Saturdays around Neyland Stadium to music festivals at World’s Fair Park and waterfront gatherings along the Tennessee River, Knoxville knows how to throw a crowd-pleasing party. What every memorable East Tennessee event has in common—besides a sea of Big Orange—is a mouth-watering lineup of food. Today’s organizers are ditching the old tent kitchens for food truck catering, a faster, cleaner, and fully self-contained solution that keeps the line moving and the guests smiling.

Best Food Trucks makes large-scale event catering in Knoxville effortless. Our platform lets you book multiple trucks with one call, eliminating extra permits, power hookups, and the lengthy set-up/tear-down times of traditional booths. Whether you’re feeding 500 fans at a UT watch party or 5,000 attendees at a Market Square concert, we’ll curate a fleet that matches your crowd’s appetite and your event footprint.

Knoxville’s food truck scene is as diverse as the city itself. Craving smoky Southern comfort? Smoked Pickle Barbecue and Clean Smoke BBQ serve up pulled pork and brisket that would make any Vol fan cheer. Want to spice things up? Roll in Dia De Foods for authentic tacos al pastor and street-style elote. For classic Americana, Hamburger Hill Food Truck flips juicy patties piled high with local toppings. And if your guests are craving pasta under the Sunsphere lights, Penne For Your Thoughts delivers scratch-made Italian favorites.

No matter the size or location—be it Chilhowee Park, Civic Coliseum, or a corporate campus off I-40—Best Food Trucks coordinates the logistics, manages online ordering, and ensures each truck arrives fully stocked and ready to serve. The result? Shorter lines, fresher food, and happier attendees.

Planning a festival, marathon, or corporate celebration? Choose Knoxville’s most trusted partner for food truck catering for large-scale events. Reach out to Best Food Trucks today and let’s bring a taste of Rocky Top to your next gathering.

Marathon catering

Skip the Line & Savor the Event, Knoxville!

Nothing kills the vibe at a Vols watch party or a packed First Friday like standing in a mile-long food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that headache with a Knoxville-ready online ordering system that lets guests tap, pay, and play on their phones. They browse every truck parked on Gay Street, choose their brisket sliders or banana pudding funnel cake, and then get a text the moment their order is ready—no shuffling in a queue while the band kicks off on the World’s Fair Park stage.

Hosting an early morning marathon on Chapman Highway or an evening concert outside the Tennessee Amphitheater? Push out a pre-order link the day before so runners and concert-goers can lock in a pickup time that fits their schedule. Our platform was built to withstand Neyland-sized rushes, processing hundreds of orders a minute without a hiccup. The result: shorter lines, faster turnover, and fans who stay focused on Rocky Top revelry instead of “How much longer?”

For large-scale event catering in Knoxville, food trucks plus Best Food Trucks’ high-frequency ordering system is the winning play—exceptional eats, zero wait, and a crowd that’s all smiles.

We hosted an office party at a local park & had Good Hombres there to serve lunch. Everyone loved the food & the service that was provided. We will definitely use them again in the future!

The steak on the Philly steak sandwich was very tender. Lobster roll had a good amount of lobster. Was excellent

Nothing specific, my wife just thought the Sonora steak tacos were ok but nothing special. My 3 mahi mahi tacos tasted great but were cold and I had to heat them in the microwave.

First experience. All was pretty good. Burger was well seasoned, bacon was good. Could have used a bit more of the signature sauce. All in all a good experience

Everything was very good. I had the three tacos, shrimp, pork and chicken. Shrimp and pork were very tasty. The chicken was dry and lacking taste. Overall, nice tacos. Great corn shell, very tasty and fresh.
