Food Truck Catering for Knoxville Neighborhood Events

From a summer concert in Market Square to a block party in Old North Knoxville or a Movies in the Park night at Lakeshore, every Knoxville gathering deserves delicious, hassle-free eats. Best Food Trucks brings turnkey food truck catering for neighborhood events in Knoxville so you can focus on the music, the cornhole tournament, or simply catching up with the neighbors.

Instead of juggling menus, chasing down no-show private chefs, or settling for soggy take-out trays, let our local fleet roll up and serve fresh-made favorites right on the curb. We handle menu curation, permits, power, and—thanks to our digital ordering system—line-busting pickup or text-to-table delivery. Your guests track their order on their phones and get back to cheering “Rocky Top” in no time.

Whether you need one truck for 50 guests in Fountain City or a caravan for a festival in Farragut, Best Food Trucks scales to fit your headcount and budget. Plus, all of our Knoxville partners carry real-time reviews, so you know exactly who’s cooking for your crew.

Knoxville Favorites Ready to Roll Up to Your Curb

  • Smoked Pickle Barbecue – Slow-smoked brisket and signature pickle-infused sauce that’s become a Bearden tailgate staple.
  • Clean Smoke BBQ – Hardwood-fired ribs and pulled pork plates the way East Tennessee pitmasters intended.
  • Dia De Foods – Street-style tacos, elote, and churros perfect for Cinco de Mayo fiestas in Fourth & Gill.
  • Hamburger Hill Food Truck – Smash burgers stacked higher than House Mountain, plus crispy shoestring fries.
  • Penne For Your Thoughts – Fresh pasta tossed to order; a hit at Sequoyah Hills movie nights.

Ready to book? Tell us the date, neighborhood, and crowd size, and Best Food Trucks will match you with Knoxville’s top rolling kitchens. Your neighbors eat like family, you look like a hero, and everyone’s singing “Good Ol’ Rocky Top” with a full belly.

Strip Malls and Open Lots catering

Skip the line and soak up the Knoxville neighborhood fun!

When the Vol Navy isn’t docked, Knoxville locals love nothing more than strolling their own streets—whether that’s an ice-cream social in West Hills, a bluegrass jam in South Knoxville, or a craft market in Historic Fourth & Gill. Best Food Trucks keeps everyone out of the queue and in the mix with our cutting-edge online food truck ordering system.

Guests simply scan the QR code, choose their grub right from their phones, and get a text when it’s hot and ready. No long lines curling down the block; just more time to browse the makers’ tents, cheer on the kids’ bike parade, or snap selfies with the Sunsphere in the background.

Want to make things even smoother? Send a pre-order link a day or two before your neighborhood event so folks can lock in a pickup time—before, during, or after the shindig. Pair Knoxville’s best food truck catering with online ordering and you deliver five-star eats without lifting a finger. Your neighbors stay happy, the vibe stays lively, and you look like the hero who turned “Rocky Top” into a full-belly anthem.

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!
