Food Truck Catering for Large-Scale Events in Charleston, SC

From the buzz of the Spoleto Festival USA to sold-out Charleston RiverDogs games at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, the Holy City knows how to throw a party— and great parties need unforgettable food. Modern event planners across Charleston are ditching old-school pop-up tents and embracing food truck catering for large scale events. Why? Because today’s trucks roll in with their own fully licensed kitchens, minimal set-up time, and menus that capture the Lowcountry’s flavor while satisfying crowds of every size.

Whether you’re hosting 10,000 runners at the Cooper River Bridge Run, a corporate retreat on Kiawah Island, or a beachfront concert on Folly, food truck catering gives your guests more choices than traditional tent vendors ever could. Best Food Trucks partners with Charleston’s favorite mobile kitchens—so you can book several cuisines with one phone call and trust that every detail (permits, power, service, and cleanup) is handled by local pros who know the peninsula’s ins and outs.

Some of our most-requested Charleston food trucks for large events include:

  • Wally Gyros LLC – Hi, I’m Wally! Serving the Lowcountry since 2007 with authentic Mediterranean wraps, falafel, and shawarma perfect for fueling festival crowds.
  • Bangin' Vegan Eats – 100% plant-based comfort food that even barbecue lovers line up for on King Street.
  • Fed Up Truck LLC – Southern comfort classics like shrimp & grits and fried chicken biscuits—ideal for tailgates at The Citadel.
  • Zimo's – A taste of Greece, Turkey, and beyond, crafted by New York transplants who now call Charleston home.
  • Lola's Lumpia Food Truck – Crispy Filipino lumpia and rice bowls your guests will rave about long after the last encore.

No matter the headcount, Best Food Trucks is your one-stop solution for food truck catering in Charleston. Let’s make your next large scale event deliciously stress-free!

Swap Meet catering

Skip the line and savor your Charleston Large-Scale Event!

At Boone Hall’s Pumpkin Patch, a sold-out Music Farm block party, or any of the Lowcountry’s signature gatherings, nothing kills the vibe faster than a slow food line. Best Food Trucks fixes that with a Charleston-ready online ordering system that lets your guests tap, pay, and play. Instead of queuing beneath the July sun on the Battery, attendees order right from their phones, stroll the vendors on King Street, and receive a text the moment their shrimp-and-grits tacos are hot.

Planning a 5,000-person conference at the Charleston Area Convention Center? Send a pre-order link days in advance so speakers and sponsors can lock in pick-up times between panels. Hosting the RiverDogs Fan Fest? Our platform is built for the 843’s biggest crowds, processing thousands of transactions without missing a beat. Food truck catering for large-scale events in Charleston plus Best Food Trucks’ online ordering equals shorter lines, happier guests, and more time to soak up that sweet Lowcountry breeze.

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.

: Not the style of teriyaki I anticipated. But overall the flavor was OK. Veggies and fried rice were quite good and the portion size was excellent.

I have visited this truck twice now, each time they didn't have an ingredient i wanted, but they've always suggested something in its place, both times I have been very pleased with the results, their pizza is TOP NOTCH, very delicious and satisfying

the lamb meat was excellent. I would have liked a little more vegetables, but overall it was excellent. I would eat there again and would try other options.

We hired Dave's S&T for a corporate employee appreciation event, and it was a smashing success from start to finish. Great communication in advance, very reasonable fixed price menu, impressive streamlined efficiency that prevented a line/wait for food, great customer service with our employees, tons of options on the menu, and fresh, flavorful food that *almost* everyone went absolutely crazy about (I mean, you can't please everyone. But it was as close to a resounding consensus as we've ever had). We'll book them again!
