Food Truck Catering for Large Scale Events in Columbia, SC
From packed Gamecock tailgates outside Williams-Brice Stadium to community concerts at Finlay Park and summer celebrations along the Congaree River, big gatherings in Columbia demand two things: lively entertainment and unforgettable food. Today’s organizers no longer have to wrestle with pop-up tents, rented grills, and miles of extension cords. Self-contained food trucks roll up with commercial kitchens on board, fast service windows, and health permits already in place—perfect for any large-scale event catering need in Columbia.
Whether you’re booking the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center for a tech expo, hosting a family reunion at Riverfront Park, or planning a multi-day festival in the Vista, Best Food Trucks connects you with the city’s most popular mobile kitchens. Guests can stroll the grounds, sample different menus, and come back for seconds without ever leaving the venue. It’s the flexible, crowd-pleasing alternative to traditional tent vendors—and it scales effortlessly from a few hundred attendees to tens of thousands.
Check out a few local favorites ready to serve your next large event:
- Carolina Cookin' – Gourmet seafood and Lowcountry classics like soft-shell crab & grits that feel right at home on a warm Midlands evening.
- Mardi Gras Tyme – Authentic Cajun jambalaya, red beans & rice, and more—because Columbia loves a little Louisiana spice.
- Ken's Famous Italian Ice – The ultimate cool-down when Soda City temperatures soar.
- The Haute Dog Lady – Creative American comfort food that keeps festival lines moving.
- Kona Ice - Columbia – Shaved-ice happiness served with island vibes and plenty of parking-lot dance parties.
From gourmet seafood to snow cones that fight off the mid-July heat, our curated fleet ensures every guest finds something delicious. Let Best Food Trucks handle the scheduling, on-site logistics, and payment coordination so you can focus on the stage lineup, sponsor booths, and everything else that makes a Columbia event legendary.

The pizza taste great but the picture made them look bigger than the pie was and I didn't know I would have order a few more because they were small.

Nashville bourbon cheesesteak.. delicious only suggestion to put queso sauce in a separate container so the bread won't get soggy.

. The boneless wings and fries were really good but the kids burger barely had a meat patty on it. It was almost eating just bread. I know it's a kids burger but it still costs like 9 dollars.

I made a review earlier about their sauces being a little amount, I’ve tried them since and they have made the portion of their sauces much better and the food was amazing again!

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.
