Supporting Charlotte’s Small Businesses—One Chicken Sandwich at a Time

When you book chicken food truck catering in Charlotte, you’re doing more than feeding a crowd—you’re fueling the dreams of Queen City entrepreneurs. Most of the trucks that pull up to Bank of America Plaza or park at Camp North End are locally owned by families who live everywhere from Matthews to Huntersville. Every spicy drumstick or honey-butter chicken biscuit you buy keeps revenue circulating right here in Mecklenburg County instead of disappearing to a national chain’s headquarters.

Food trucks are also a surprisingly eco-friendly choice for corporate catering in Charlotte. Because our mobile kitchens use compact cooking equipment and serve on compostable trays—requirements that align with the city’s Green Charlotte initiative—they consume far less energy and generate less landfill waste than traditional buffet setups. Fewer chafing dishes means fewer Sterno cans and less single-use plastic, so your team lunch at Truist Center can taste good and feel good, too.

Ready to give back to the community while serving crave-worthy chicken? The next time you search for “corporate catering near me” or “best chicken food truck Charlotte,” click “Book Now.” Best Food Trucks will connect you with the city’s top rolling kitchens and deliver a socially responsible feast that your guests—and the local economy—will thank you for.

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

Had the buffalo lemon pepper tenders with fries. Fries were spot on. Hot and fresh. Seasoned nicely. Tenders were not hot. A little heavy on the batter and needed more sauce and lemon pepper. Flavor was fantastic. Just needed a bit more and to be hot and fresh.
