Barbecue Food Truck Catering in Lincoln Turns Every Event into a Husker-Sized Feast!
Lincoln loves its BBQ almost as much as it loves Big Red, and nothing fires up a crowd faster than authentic, slow-smoked meats rolling in on a food truck. Forget the soggy aluminum pans of yesterday—our local pitmasters serve their brisket, ribs, and burnt ends fresh off the smoker so the bark still snaps and the smoke ring still blushes. From tailgates outside Memorial Stadium to graduation parties in the Highlands, professional barbecue food truck catering shows your guests you play to win.
Book one of Lincoln’s hometown heroes and taste why food truck catering beats traditional buffet service every time:
- Skymart Mobile – a rolling smokehouse famous downtown for hickory-kissed pulled pork and homemade peach BBQ sauce.
- 402 BBQ – beloved on O Street for melt-in-your-mouth brisket and cornbread that locals insist is “better than grandma’s.”

With Best Food Trucks handling the scheduling, permits, and on-site logistics, you can focus on the important things—like deciding if you want extra sauce or a second helping.

The brisket was a little dry. Still good but I did use more bbq sauce than I usually do on a sandwich.

The flavor was great...I ordered the link, and the generosity from the chef on adding pickles and toast was a lovely surprise. Also, the BBQ sauce was amazing!

The crispy crunchy bread. Also like that it doesn't come with a side because the sandwich is plenty by itself.

When we ordered in September, it was awesome! This time, there were 4 misshapen ribs (one huge, 2 medium, one bite size). The sausage also tasted overcooked and was sliced into small pieces (nothing like the last time). The is was the first time that we had food requested at the start of the shift, and not at 7:00 PM, and it seemed as if this was leftover from a prior shift and 'dumped' on us. Was still tasty with the sauce, but disappointed in this trip (and we raved about Logan's to many friends.....)

The brisket and collards were on point. The flavor profile was spot on. Looking forward for the next time.

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

The pulled pork and brisket were incredible. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'd eat it every week.

Best chicken sandwich ever! It had a lot of meat and the flavor was amazing. The slaw was excellent too. Will look for them again.
