Welcome to Knoxville Tennessee, where the gourmet food truck scene has been going strong for a while now! It all started with the city approving seven locations Downtown for food trucks and it has blossomed from there. Knoxville is growing across many industries, and its charming Downtown area has been revitalized thanks in large part to the World Fair, hosted here in 1982. This city is well known for its Market Square, the University of Tennessee Volunteers and Gay Street, the area's vibrant center. Knoxville is also a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Foodies will be happy here. Knoxville has embraced the hard working food truck operators around town as the need for to-go options street side is clear. With new food trucks showing up every year the Knoxville food truck scene shows no signs of slowing down. You'll just have to taste the flavors of the city and see for yourself. From homestyle meals to lighter lunch options, Knoxville has it all.

Appreciate the green and red sauces and this is one of the best food trucks. BUT- at this price point, add cheese and fresh limes. I will not return to a bar that serves a drink with a soiled lime-- and I won't reorder from a food truck who dumps their old limes in my to-go meal.

Smash Hit Burgers and Chef Zach were fantastic! The food was DELICIOUS! We had a corporate event and they handled a surge of people well. We had such positive feedback about their service and quality of food. Chef Zach was quick to respond to any questions and were able to provide a certificate of insurance to meet our building's requirements.
