Atlanta Barbecue Food Truck Catering – Smokin’ BBQ For Every Party on Peachtree and Beyond!
If there’s one thing Atlantans agree on, it’s that great barbecue should never arrive limp and lukewarm. Nobody wants a tray of gray “cue” steaming in its own regrets at a tailgate outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium or during a family reunion at Piedmont Park. When you book an Atlanta barbecue food truck, you’re guaranteeing fresh-off-the-smoker meats that hit the plate hot, juicy, and packed with hardwood flavor—not mystery drippings.
That’s why locals call in the pros. C-BO’S BBQ & SOUTHERN CUISINE serves up hickory-kissed classics the way grandma made them in East Point. Craving a Midwest spin? Guest Driven BBQ delivers Chicago-style rib tips and pizza puffs right to the heart of the ATL. Looking for slow-smoked comfort after a stroll on the BeltLine? Pappy 2's Barbeque has pulled pork and scratch-made sides that’ll make you say, “Bless your heart!”
Whether you’re hosting a tech mixer in Midtown, a Falcons watch party in Decatur, or a wedding reception in Buckhead, Atlanta barbecue food truck catering keeps the vibe fun and the menu unforgettable. Your guests will smell that pecan wood smoke long before the first platter lands, and the only thing they’ll question is how fast they can get seconds.
Ready to go full Boss Mode? Tap one truck—or build a rolling BBQ fleet with favorites like Biggum's BBQ and the cheese-steak geniuses at S.O.P. Catering. From parking logistics to late-night brisket sliders, Atlanta’s best barbecue food trucks handle everything while you soak up the compliments.
Skip the soggy buffet pans and treat your crew to real Atlanta barbecue food truck catering. Because in this city, the only thing hotter than July on Peachtree is a smoker that just hit perfect temperature.
Skip the line on Peachtree—order your Atlanta Barbecue from your phone!
At a backyard bash in Grant Park or a rooftop mixer overlooking Midtown, nobody wants to spend half the night waiting in a food truck queue. Best Food Trucks’ slick online ordering system lets your guests secure their pulled-pork sandwich or peach-glazed ribs right from their phones, then stroll the BeltLine until a text tells them “Your ‘cue is ready!”
Here’s how it works for Atlanta barbecue food truck catering:
- Line-jumping, ATL style. Scan the truck’s QR code, pick your brisket, and keep mingling. No more bottlenecks on the patio or outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
- Timed pre-orders. Send out a link ahead of your Falcons watch party in Decatur and guests can lock in a 7:15 PM pickup—right at halftime.
- Real-time text alerts. MARTA trains run on a schedule, and so does your food. Guests get a ping the second their platter hits the window.
- Zero stress for hosts. We handle the tickets, pacing, and payments while you soak up compliments about “the best barbecue in Atlanta.”
From corporate luncheons in Buckhead to late-night grad parties at Georgia State, online ordering keeps the spotlight on your event, not on a slow-moving line. Pros across the metro—both ITP and OTP—trust Best Food Trucks to make their barbecue catering seamless and smartphone-simple. Book with us, and give every guest the VIP fast-pass to Atlanta’s smokiest flavors.

. The Mac and cheese was delicious. The BB sauce had a little bite to it; however, got use to it. The beef was great

Well, in the past (and I've had Newmans a lot for lunch), I typically received 4-5 ribs rather than three, which is what I received today. The cost of my lunch was $19 for 3 ribs, a coke, and Mac-n-cheese (which also was a very small portion). Bottom line, the $19 cost did not equate to the meals value.

The food was fresh, the mac and cheese is unlike most other places mac and cheese, and the cornbread + butter is delicious

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
