Baton Rouge Barbecue Food Truck Catering: Bring Smokin’ BBQ To Every Party!
When folks in Baton Rouge throw a party—whether it’s a Tiger tailgate outside Death Valley, a family reunion at Perkins Road Community Park, or a corporate crawfish-boil-turned-BBQ on the banks of the Mississippi—they expect rib-sticking flavor served hot off the pit. Nothing ruins the mood faster than gray, lukewarm “barbecue” swimming in its own regret. That’s why savvy hosts skip the soggy chafing dishes and book real barbecue food truck catering in Baton Rouge.
The Capital City’s best pitmasters roll up with smokers roaring and hickory perfume wafting through the air, carving brisket and pulling pork to order. Fresh from the fire means meat that’s juicy for the right reasons—not because it’s been steaming in a hotel pan. Your guests will taste the difference and know you went full Boss Mode on the event planning.
Need proof? Baton Rouge already trusts local legends like Boo's Best BBQ for melt-in-your-mouth ribs, Profit Smokin BBQ LLC for smoky American comfort classics, and Creole Roux Wagon when that Cajun-kissed ‘cue craving hits. These trucks pull up, pop open the service window, and turn your gathering into the hottest BBQ joint in Baton Rouge—no reservations required.
So if you’re searching for “BBQ catering near me” or “food truck barbecue Baton Rouge,” rest easy. Best Food Trucks connects you with the city’s top rolling smokehouses, handles all the logistics, and keeps your guests bragging long after the last sausage link disappears. Book a Baton Rouge barbecue food truck today and let the good times—and the good sauce—roll.
Skip the Line, Cher—Let the Smoke Come to You
Baton Rouge parties move fast, from Friday night jitters on Chimes Street to sunrise tailgates outside Tiger Stadium. No one wants to miss a second of the action standing in a food truck line, wondering when their brisket is coming off the pit. With Best Food Trucks’ cutting-edge online ordering, your guests can claim their plate of barbecue food truck catering in Baton Rouge right from their phones and get a text the moment it’s ready. No lines, no FOMO—just pure Capital City ‘cue served exactly when they want it.
Hosting a lunch rush at the Perkins Rowe offices, a wedding at the Old Governor’s Mansion, or a backyard boucherie in Shenandoah? Fire off a pre-order link before the first guest arrives. Friends, coworkers, and cousins can lock in a pickup time before, during, or after the party starts, guaranteeing hot ribs and smoked sausage without clogging up the flow of the fête. Our system staggers orders, keeps the crowd moving, and lets you enjoy the Zydeco playlist instead of babysitting a buffet line.
From LSU departments and corporate crews along the Mississippi River to family reunions at BREC parks, Baton Rouge trusts Best Food Trucks to make BBQ catering look seamless and taste unforgettable. The pros rely on us because we marry lip-smacking smoke with smooth logistics—and now you can, too. Book your Baton Rouge barbecue food truck, tap “send” on those pre-orders, and watch your event run as smooth as fresh-stirred roux.

It was good but so spicy! I wasn’t expecting it to be spicy. It may be too spicy for the average person lol.

The pork combo was great. Pork was melt in your mouth, the slaw and mac and cheese, baked beans and brisket sandwich were also very good.

. 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

The truck arrived 30 mins late, which caused quite a disturbance. The food was cooked and served quickly. Some things were overcooked and dried out, a bit. However, Mike was very courteous and professional and accommodating.

I definitely want this one back! Best darn truck food I’ve had in ages and the service was impeccable.
