Feel That Nashville Crunch — Fresh Chicken In Every Bite With Our Food Truck Catering
Here in Nashville, hot chicken isn’t just lunch, it’s a way of life—right up there with catching a set on Lower Broadway or cheering on the Titans. Whether you like yours blazing “Nashville Hot,” drizzled with local honey, or tucked into a fluffy biscuit, one thing never changes: it has to be sizzling, made-to-order, and on your plate fast. That’s exactly what our chicken food truck catering brings to offices in The Gulch, weddings out in Franklin, and block parties from East Nashville to Bellevue.
Skip the 45-minute delivery window and let the kitchen roll right up to you. Our roster of hometown favorites—like Max's Hot Chicken with its from-scratch marinades, or the chef-driven creations at Southern Spoon (don’t miss their legendary Chicken & Waffles)—serve every order piping hot, straight from the fryer or grill to your hungry Nashville crew.
Feeding a bigger crowd? Book MommaJoy's Hot Chicken + More for that classic Music City heat, add crispy wings from J.DARWINGS, or mix things up Caribbean-style with jerk chicken sliders from The Pepper Pott. From corporate lunches in Midtown high-rises to late-night receptions after a Grand Ole Opry show, our chicken food truck catering in Nashville keeps the party cluckin’ without missing a beat.
Fuel Nashville’s Small Businesses—One Chicken Sandwich at a Time
Booking chicken food truck catering in Nashville does more than satisfy hunger; it pumps money straight back into the city’s vibrant small-business scene. Every time you roll a truck up to your event—whether it’s a SoBro tech meetup or a backyard birthday in Donelson—you’re investing in home-grown entrepreneurs who fry, flip, and season their recipes right here in Music City. Most of our partner trucks are family-run operations operating out of Germantown commissary kitchens and sourcing buns, pickles, and hot-sauce spices from local vendors in Berry Hill and Nolensville Pike.
Food trucks are also a greener way to cater. Because the entire kitchen is on wheels, they burn less energy than a sprawling banquet setup and leave behind minimal waste—no stacks of chafing-dish fuel cans or disposable pans. Pair that eco-benefit with the fact that every Nashville chicken tender, wing, and slider is cooked to order, and you’ve got a win-win for your guests and the planet.
So the next time you punch “chicken food truck catering near me in Nashville” into your phone, give Best Food Trucks a shout. You’ll get lip-smacking hot chicken and help keep Nashville’s small-business heartbeat thumping. That’s Southern hospitality done right.

Well, my husband and I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and it was phenomenal. The crunch on that bread was amazing. Probably the best sandwich I've ever had on Italian beef as a matter of fact, it was the best sandwich ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The fries were perfect! Very crispy and delicious. The chicken was tasty but a bit tough. There were so many orders - both online and walk-up - that they may have been a bit overwhelmed.

It's just great food, but also, they were really accommodating. We preordered and they ended up not having something, but they texted me and we were able to put a replacement dish in its place! Lovely people!
