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

From Gamecock tailgates outside Williams-Brice Stadium to summer concerts along the Congaree River, the biggest gatherings in Columbia share two things: live entertainment and unforgettable food. Today’s event planners don’t bother with slow, power-hungry tent kitchens—self-contained food trucks roll up ready to serve crowds in minutes. Best Food Trucks coordinates a fleet of local favorites, giving your guests the variety they expect at Soda City Market without any of the logistical headaches.

Need coastal flavor for your Riverfront Park festival? Invite Carolina Cookin' and let their soft-shell crab and grits showcase genuine Southern hospitality. Craving a taste of the Big Easy at your Five Points block party? Mardi Gras Tyme plates up jambalaya and red beans & rice that keep the line dancing. For classic American bistro fare that satisfies every appetite, Buck n Cluck fires off burgers and chicken sandwiches faster than the horses at the State Fair.

Columbia heat calls for something icy, and we’ve got you covered. Cool down festivalgoers with tropical shaved ice from Kona Ice - Columbia or hand-crafted scoops from Ken's Famous Italian Ice.

The cheese, pulled pork Quesadilla and Taco Nachos were so tasty. My dad loved your cheese quesadilla. The chocolate cake was delicious too.

I like both pizzas, especially the one with mushroom, cheese, carm onion, and arugula with truffle oil. Also being able to pre-order ahead, service was fast. Thank you!

Delicious and PROMPT! Such a refreshing change from most trucks that start 20 to 40 minutes late. Awesome job have them back!

The Ahi Tuna Roll was quite delicious and surprisingly substantial without being too heavy. I recommend picking a fork with it. Wraps never survive in one piece.

Everything. Only recommendation would be to have regular tartar sauce for catfish along with the sauce it comes with.

The Italian sausage sandwich was great with the peppers, and it was nice to have a cooked vegetable option with the green beans. It was made just like how I'd cook it up in my own kitchen.

The chicken tacos were great, with awesome flavor, along with the fries that were nice and fresh with the added extra seasoning! I enjoyed my lunch today for sure! 🤗

The sauce was just the right amount of sweet, the combination of the crispy crust and warm melted cheese was perfect and the pepperoni added a nice spice to round it out. 😋yum

I ordered the Lemonade cupcake. I loved the balance between the sweet of the icing and the sour of the lemon! It was so delicious!!!
