Whether you’re filling Riverfront Park for a summer concert, feeding runners after the Wrightsville Beach Marathon, or keeping crews happy on a Screen Gems film set, amazing food is a must. Wilmington, NC food truck catering for large-scale events has replaced old-school pop-up tents with spotless, self-contained commercial kitchens on wheels.

Wilmington’s rolling restaurants have you covered, and Best Food Trucks can coordinate a full fleet so every guest finds something they love.

Order Ahead, Soak Up the Port City Fun—No Lines Required

Big crowds are part of Wilmington life—just ask anyone who’s tried to grab lunch between bands at the Azalea Festival street fair or during halftime at a UNCW Seahawks game. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering system, your guests skip the line and stay immersed in the action. Instead of standing around at Riverfront Park or Live Oak Bank Pavilion, attendees tap in their order on a phone, stroll the Riverwalk, then get a quick text when their shrimp po’ boy or pulled-pork slider is ready.

Running a sunrise 5K over the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge? We’ll text runners when their recovery smoothie is blended. Hosting a 10,000-person film wrap party on the Screen Gems backlot? Pre-order links let crew members pick a specific pickup time before the first food truck even rolls in.

Comments from Inspira Senior VP: The staff loved it. The vendor even made sandwiches & waffles brought them to OR staff that couldn’t get to the truck. They came from Morris County in north jersey. Very pleasant & accommodating. Please let them know of the great service

For the price I thought the quesadilla was a little on the small side. Order was ready 20 min after stated pickup time. Everything tasted good though.

The seasoning of the Shrimps, the tenderness of the tenders. The crispness of the fries. Just would've wanted more seasoning on the fries. Delicious

The brisket tacos were phenomenal. The sandwiches were also very good, a little saucier than my preference but I like little to no sauce, that's not a reflection of you guys, but it is all is very delicious.

please bring this one back. All of the sandwiches were great even the tater tots were soft in the middle and crispy on the outside perfect.

Make pictures more appealing- that was a large problem last night. You need a photographer or something to make those pictures were artistic . The pictures of the Philly cheesesteak do not look good and the burgers all look wilted. The taste of the food is not translating in the pictures. Your onion rings are delicious. Chicken fingers are average. You need a honey mustard dipping sauce. Cheeseburger was very good - add a pickle spear on the side. Fries were average Also add more choices than just Coke - and maybe you have them, but it doesn't show up on line.
