Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Knoxville

From a packed Saturday at Neyland Stadium to summer concerts in World’s Fair Park, Knoxville knows how to throw a party—and locals expect the food to be as memorable as the Rocky Top fight song. Traditional tent kitchens take hours to set up and demand extra permits and power hookups. Modern food trucks roll in self-contained and ready to serve, keeping your planners stress-free and your guests happy.

Best Food Trucks curates the top mobile kitchens in East Tennessee so you can offer everything from slow-smoked barbecue to hand-twirled pasta at your festival, corporate picnic, or city-wide celebration. Need variety for a 10,000-person crowd? We’ll line up multiple trucks, manage the logistics, and make sure every attendee eats without a long wait.

Check out a few local favorites we book for large-scale food truck catering in Knoxville:

  • Smoked Pickle Barbecue serves up hickory-kissed ribs and a pickle-brined pulled pork sandwich that Vol fans swear by on game day.
  • Clean Smoke BBQ brings a lighter, leaner spin on classic Tennessee ‘cue—perfect for health-conscious festivalgoers.
  • Dia De Foods rolls authentic street tacos, birria, and house-made salsas hotter than a July afternoon on Market Square.
  • Hamburger Hill Food Truck stacks juicy smash burgers and crispy fries that keep Big Orange Country fueled late into the night.
  • Penne For Your Thoughts dishes fresh pasta bowls and garlicky breadsticks—ideal for chillier evenings along the Tennessee River.

Whether you’re hosting the Dogwood Arts Festival, a company retreat at Lakeshore Park, or a massive tailgate before the next SEC showdown, Best Food Trucks is your one-stop solution for food truck catering for large-scale events in Knoxville. Let us handle the cooking so you can focus on the fun.

Skip the Line and Keep Your Knoxville Event Moving

Whether you’re packing the Old City for Big Ears or filling the concourse outside Neyland Stadium, nothing kills the vibe faster than a bottleneck at the food tent. Best Food Trucks solves that headache with our cutting-edge online ordering system, purpose-built for large-scale food truck catering in Knoxville.

Here’s how it works: your guests pull out their phones, browse every truck’s menu in one place, and place an order in seconds. When the grub—be it brisket sliders, kettle corn, or banana pudding— is ready, they get a text alert. No winding lines, no shouting over Rocky Top, just seamless service that keeps folks focused on your event.

Hosting a sunrise 5K along the Tennessee River or a sold-out concert at Thompson-Boling Arena? Send a pre-event ordering link so runners or concert-goers can lock in a specific pickup time before the gates even open. Our platform was stress-tested on 10,000-plus-person tailgates, so high-frequency ordering is second nature.

Food trucks for large-scale events plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals a Knoxville crowd that’s well-fed, happy, and free to enjoy the main attraction. Ready to keep your schedule tight and your guests smiling? Let’s roll.

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
