Food Truck Catering for Neighborhood Events in Portland, ME

From summer concerts on the Eastern Promenade and community movies at Deering Oaks Park to tight-knit block parties on Munjoy Hill, Portlanders love gathering outside. If you’re the person in charge—whether you’re a city recreation coordinator, a neighborhood association leader, or the block captain for Oakdale—keep your energy on the music, lighting, and permit details. Let Best Food Trucks handle the eats and turn your event into a quintessential Portland, Maine experience.

We bring more than delicious meals; we bring peace of mind. No more scrambling to find a caterer who cancels last minute or guessing whether the food will satisfy picky lobster-roll veterans. Our curated fleet of Portland food trucks arrives on-time, fully stocked, and ready to serve coast-to-coast flavor—well, Casco Bay to Back Cove anyway!

Best Food Trucks is the nationwide leader in food-truck logistics, and we’ve fine-tuned our process for Portland’s unique vibe. Our digital ordering platform lets guests place and track their orders right from a smartphone, so lines disappear faster than a Sea Dogs Fireworks crowd. Meanwhile, you stay focused on welcoming neighbors, not worrying about ticket times or menu mishaps. One truck or five—we scale to fit your Wharf Street courtyard or entire Peaks Island field day without breaking a sweat.

Need menu ideas that scream “Vacationland”? Check out a few local favorites ready to roll up to your curb:

  • Mainely Hotdogs – Nothing says summertime in Maine like a toasted bun piled high with locally sourced dogs and all the fixings.
  • PB&ME – Comfort food classics, from inventive peanut-butter melts to grilled-cheese masterpieces, perfect for fueling little league players at Payson Park.
  • Crepe Elizabeth – Sweet and savory crêpes that feel right at home near the cobblestones of the Old Port.
  • Frozen Rooster – Crispy chicken sandwiches and tenders that pair beautifully with a local craft brew from nearby breweries.
  • Lucky Lou's Portland – Authentic Greek gyros and souvlaki bringing Mediterranean sunshine to the Maine coast.

When you book Portland, ME food truck catering for neighborhood events through Best Food Trucks, lines become a thing of the past. Our cutting-edge online ordering platform lets neighbors order right from their phones—whether they’re cheering a wiffle-ball game on the East End courts or browsing yard-sale tables off Washington Avenue. Guests tap, pay, then get a text the moment their lobster grilled-cheese or vegan grain bowl is ready, so the only waiting they do is for the next song on the speakers.

Need to keep traffic flowing on narrow Munjoy Hill streets? Send out a pre-order link in your event flyer or neighborhood Facebook group. Residents can lock in a pickup time before the block party even kicks off, during prime sunset at Back Cove, or right after the fireworks wrap at Payson Park.

Generous portions, well seasoned (not over seasoned), very courteous service under time pressure & walk-up customers, as well as unexpected under staffing. Thank you April's Kitchen. At our house, you're a "do again". ☺️

Burgers needed more fresh fixings (onion, lettuce) All our burgers had a tiny, wilted lettuce piece that we removed. Also the option to opt out of mustard
