Tacoma’s Tastiest Choice: Hamburger Food Truck Catering Done Right
From the Point Defiance waterfront to the tailgate parties outside the Tacoma Dome, locals know that nothing beats a hot hamburger seared on-site and served seconds later. Forget soggy take-out that’s crawled down I-5 for 45 minutes—your guests deserve the sizzle, the aroma, and the first-bite crunch that only a live grill can deliver.
Best Food Trucks partners with Tacoma’s most popular rolling kitchens to bring a full-service hamburger experience straight to your event. Craving a classic cheeseburger? Book Stacks Burgers #3 and watch the line form as their griddles fire up. Want a gourmet twist? Mix in melty masterpieces from The Cheese Pit or comfort-food sliders from Gourminis. Looking for keto or gluten-free buns so every Ruston Way resident can dig in? Best of Both Worlds has you covered. And if your crowd is all about Northwest beef patties stacked sky-high, The People’s Burger brings the bistro flair.
Whether you’re hosting a graduation at the University of Puget Sound, an office lunch downtown, or a wedding reception overlooking Commencement Bay, our Tacoma hamburger food truck catering guarantees fresh, on-time, flame-kissed perfection. Tell us where to park the truck, and we’ll bring the grill, the buns, and a blast of local flavor.
Skip the Line, Tacoma—Keep Your Party Rolling!
Tacomans don’t gather just to stand around in a food line. From graduation parties up on the UPS campus to post-game celebrations outside Cheney Stadium, you want guests laughing, mingling, and snapping photos of Mount Rainier— not checking their watch while they wait for a burger. Best Food Trucks solves that problem with a cutting-edge online ordering system built for hamburger food truck catering in Tacoma.
Here’s how it works: your guests pull out their phones, browse the truck’s hamburger menu, and tap in their order—keto bun, vegan patty, double-cheese, you name it. The moment their burger is fire-kissed and wrapped, they get a text alert. No shouting over music, no guessing when the food will be ready, just a quick stroll to the pickup window and back to the party.
Want to get even more dialed in? Send a pre-order link with your invite so Proctor neighbors or Ruston Way runners can reserve a pickup time before the first toast. Whether your event is a waterfront wedding at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium or a corporate lunch downtown on Pacific Avenue, our system keeps the focus on your celebration while the burgers practically serve themselves.

Fat Boys Food Truck catered our CEO’s 25th anniversary celebration, and they were fantastic from start to finish! The team was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Our staff had great things to say about how delicious everything was — the food was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. We were pleasantly surprised by the variety of options; we were expecting just burgers but were thrilled to see chicken tenders, wraps, and salads as well. Everyone found something they loved! Thank you, Fat Boys, for helping make our event such a success. We’ll definitely keep you in mind for future celebrations!

Some of the best barbecue I have had. Hands down the best food I have had from a food truck. The Mac and cheese was delicious and the portions were large!

Plan to have the orders ontime. There will always be those who choose to come and order at the truck, but those who order online should be honored and not pushed back because of a hungry crowd. I feel bad for the cook and server who have to keep apologizing for not having an online order ready while they take and fill orders of those who show up unannounced

the burger from Badass Burger Buggy was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Even after bringing it home it was still hot which made it taste even better. Nikki's Sweets are always very good and we like trying a new dessert each time.

Sarah's Triple S was a hit at the lunch event. They showed up on time, were friendly, and their cheeseburgers were especially a crowd pleaser. The vegetarian option was helpful to have and the sides were all delicious.
