Turn Up The Heat, Charleston — Book The Best Cajun Food Truck Catering In Town
Charleston knows how to throw a party, from oyster roasts on James Island to sunset weddings on Folly Beach. When you want your guests dancing the two-step under the live oaks, nothing beats the bold, smoky flavors of Cajun cuisine. Picture a steaming pot of jambalaya set up on The Battery, a rich dark roux simmering for gumbo at your corporate retreat off King Street, or shrimp & grits with a spicy Andouille kick plated right on Rainbow Row. Cajun food doesn’t sit quietly in chafing dishes—it begs to be cooked fresh, served hot, and devoured with a smile. That’s exactly what you get when you reserve a Cajun food truck through Best Food Trucks for your Charleston event.
From crowd-pleasing classics like crawfish étouffée, muffulettas, and po’ boys to Louisiana specialties such as tasso-laced maque choux and perfectly seasoned boudin, our curated Cajun food trucks arrive ready to let the good times roll—Laissez les bons temps rouler ! Your only job is to pick the location: a graduation near The Citadel, a rehearsal dinner in Mount Pleasant, or a Spoleto Festival after-party downtown. Our on-board kitchens handle the rest, serving restaurant-quality Cajun fare right from the window, no power hookups or on-site kitchen needed.
Best Food Trucks also makes it easy to mix and match cuisines for a true Holy City feast. Craving a comfort-food sidekick? Add Papá Grande Comfort for empanadas and tropical mocktails, or invite Rockstar Buddha DBA Roti Rolls to sling their legendary roti tacos. Need a taste of the sea to complement your Cajun spices? ChuckTown Mobile Seafood delivers Lowcountry boils and fried shrimp that pair perfectly with gumbo. And if smoky barbecue or soulful sides round out your menu, Jack of Trades BBQ and MJ’s Rolling BBQ & Seafood Express have you covered.

Book with Best Food Trucks today and serve the most authentic Cajun dishes the Lowcountry has ever tasted—fresh off the truck and straight to your guests.

Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

The fried catfish. I only wish you would have added more packets of tartar sauce. I ended up having to use some cocktail sauce that I had.
