Food Truck Catering for Events in Traverse City
When Traverse City throws a party—whether it’s a sunset wedding on West Bay, a company picnic at Clinch Park, or a block-long bash during the National Cherry Festival—locals expect two things: views of Grand Traverse Bay and incredible food. Modern food truck catering delivers both without the headaches of old-school tent kitchens. Because each truck rolls in with a fully self-contained, health-inspected kitchen, you skip extra permits, generators, and marathon setup times.
Renting food trucks for events in Traverse City also means instant variety. Picture a live show at The Open Space where guests can choose buttery handmade pierogi from Lost Village Pierogi: "The Polished Cuban Grill" or street-style tacos piled high at King Wubbz. From gourmet Polish comfort food to quick-fire Mexican favorites, you can satisfy tourists roaming Front Street and locals who know every shortcut through the Commons.
Unlike traditional catering, food truck vendors handle everything on board—ordering, cooking, and cleanup—so you can focus on your stage lineup or bridal toast instead of buffet logistics. And because these mobile kitchens are built for Michigan’s four-season weather, they’re just as at home serving cocoa at a winter light parade as they are dishing out cherry BBQ sliders at a July beach party.
If you’re planning an event in Traverse City and want the kind of buzz that keeps guests talking long after the last song, book food truck catering. It’s the easiest way to pair our town’s famous lake views with meals made fresh to order.
Skip the Line and Soak Up Traverse City’s Magic
Nothing kills a Traverse City vibe faster than a long food line—especially when Lake Michigan is glowing pink at sunset or the Blue Angels just roared over the bay. Best Food Trucks’ online ordering platform lets your guests order right from their phones, wander the Midway at the National Cherry Festival, sip a cider at a Hickory Hills fundraiser, and pick up their meals the moment a text alert pings. No queue, no hassle—just more time for shoreline selfies and live music.
Planning a brew-fest at The Village at Grand Traverse Commons? Send guests a pre-order link so they can lock in a 6:15 PM pickup before the first keg is tapped. Hosting a fall color tour wedding on Old Mission Peninsula? Guests can schedule sliders and cherry-chipotle mac between ceremony and first dance. Food truck catering with real-time ordering keeps the spotlight on your Traverse City event while delivering fresh, local eats fast.
Food trucks + Best Food Trucks’ mobile ordering = happy attendees, clearer walkways, and an event experience as smooth as a sail on West Bay.

Tacos El Poblanito did an excellent job catering my client’s picnic. They kept in constant communication throughout the day, which made everything run smoothly. My client said the food was delicious, and the guests all enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend them!

I had the pork arepas and they were delicious! I also heard good reviews from our guests about the Cuban sandwich, empanadas, and mango street tacos too. It was very easy working with the owners and they did a great job of feeding our guests in a timely/orderly manner! I would definitely recommend their food truck to others.

Mr. Gourmet Sausage was AWESOME! They arrived with plenty of time to set-up, kept me up to date on the number of guests served, and were super courteous to our guests. Best Food Trucks made the booking very easy and were so pleasant to work with.

Everything was great but no one knew they could get a cookie, the sign for the type of pizza's and the cookie was not very visible. The team did a great job, food was hot and delicious (salad very good). We had some happy campers.
