Food Truck Catering for Knoxville Schools & Campuses
In the Scruffy City, lunch bells ring to the tune of “Rocky Top.” Knoxville schools—from Fulton High to the University of Tennessee’s orange-clad campus—know that hungry students study better when great food is steps away. Best Food Trucks makes school catering in Knoxville simple by bringing a lineup of local favorites right to your quad, parking lot, or pep-rally staging area.
Whether you’re fueling a Friday night football crew, celebrating a Smoky Mountain field-day victory, or just looking to replace bland cafeteria fare, we handle every detail. Our industry-leading online ordering platform lets students, teachers, and staff skip the line, pay ahead, and get an SMS when their meal is ready—perfect for tight class changes.
We’ve partnered with some of Knoxville’s most talked-about food trucks to cover every craving:
- Smoked Pickle Barbecue – slow-smoked East Tennessee ‘cue, piled high with tangy pickles.
- Clean Smoke BBQ – competition-style ribs and pulled pork that make any lunchtime feel like a tailgate on Neyland Drive.
- Dia De Foods – authentic street tacos and elote worthy of a Market Square fiesta.
- Hamburger Hill Food Truck – towering burgers and fresh-cut fries that could satisfy even Smokey the mascot.
- Penne For Your Thoughts – hearty Italian pastas and scratch-made sauces, perfect for carb-loading before a big exam.
From allergy-friendly menus to vegetarian and gluten-free options, our roster ensures every Vol and future Vol can dine with confidence. Plus, our local team knows Knoxville traffic patterns and school district regulations, so setup is always on time and hassle-free.
Ready to turn an ordinary school lunch into a memorable Knoxville food truck experience? Let Best Food Trucks handle the scheduling, permits, and vendor coordination while you focus on educating the next generation of Volunteers. Book your Knoxville school food truck catering today and taste why our service is the best play call this side of the Tennessee River.
Matt,
Your Knoxville school food truck catering team absolutely knocked it out of the park this semester. From our Bearden High pep rallies to the district-wide field day over in Farragut, Best Food Trucks showed up early, served fast, and kept every student smiling. Thanks for being such a dependable partner!
