Skip the Line and Keep the RVA Vibes Rolling with Our Dessert Truck Rental
Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering platform was built for Richmond gatherings, from family reunions at Maymont to rooftop mixers in Shockoe Slip. Instead of your guests standing in a line that rivals Saturday morning at Sugar Shack, they simply scan a QR code on their phone, choose their funnel cake, banana pudding, or vegan brownie, and hang out until they get a text that it’s ready. No shouting over music, no paper tickets—just more time for cornhole, dancing, or cheering on the Spiders.
Planning ahead? We’ll send you a custom pre-order link so wedding parties can grab late-night milkshakes, or parents can schedule post-game sundaes for the kids right after the final whistle at City Stadium. Orders hit the truck in real time, our crew fires up the griddles and soft-serve machines, and desserts come out fresh and perfectly timed.
Whether your vibe is black-tie at the Science Museum or barefoot on Belle Isle, our dessert food truck catering and hassle-free online ordering keep the focus on fun. Search “best dessert food trucks in Richmond” and you’ll find us at the top—ready to make your event as sweet and smooth as a River City sunset.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Chef Niki and her food truck! She was so flexible and easy to work with, the food was delicious and served quickly with a smile. She came early and was set up and ready to go when our event started.

My husband and I placed an order for 2 entrees. When I went to pick it up, the food truck workers or owners were so kind, and they seemed excited to be here. That's refreshing at the end of a long day. The food was amazing!! My husband got the brisket tacos and Cajun fries and really enjoyed both! I got the brisket sandwich and sweet potato fries. The brisket sandwich was so tender and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were scrumptious. I received two different sauces with my order. They were unique and tasty. As the food truck worker or owner bagged our order, he added an additional basket on top of the entrees and said, "We've added a couple of apple pies on the house for the neighborhood to enjoy!" I was shocked ... and excited! In a time where food costs are soaring, no one offers items for free. To receive dessert "on the house" was such a kind and appreciated ending to a fabulous meal! We hope this truck comes back soon. We loved everything!

I ordered a prosciutto and hot honey pizza but they ran out of prosciutto and substituted pepperoni, but it would have been better with prosciutto. We also ordered a pepperoni pizza. It was very good and we loved the crust!

Almost everything was deliciously perfect. The corn beef is so tender and beautifully seasoned. The cabbage however, was undergone and bitter, with bits of charred burnt areas.

Tony and Asath were absolutely wonderful! They handled the long line of students with such care, speed, and efficiency. They were true professionals from start to finish. I would absolutely hire Burger Point again and highly recommend them!
